Cartel
My favorite new band. Well, New to me. It irks me how I haven’t heard about this band until now. I have yet to buy their first album (*edit* I bought their first album and it’s just as amazing!!), so this review is on their second, self titled one.
This is probably my favorite CD ever, because it’s so diverse and I love each song differently. Again, it’s half because of the lyrics. From Wasted, “It’s two forty five the baby takes his first breath/ the mother never knew he only had a few left”. Lose It “She’s coming back around, there she sees me, oh my God, this is who I’ve been”. If I Were To Write A Song “If I were to write a song/ that could penetrate your ears”.
That last track, If I Were To Write A Song, is nine minutes long. It made me laugh when I noticed that. The funny thing is that it’s almost like two separate songs, because half way through, it completely rearranges the beat and background sound. I like it.
Sounds Like: All American Rejects, Boys Like Girls, Run Kid Run
Best Track: Wasted (Original mix)
