Deep South (Typical is a fun song though) Retrograde Conventional Friend (This was definitely the toughest one for me this round) Prior to today I hadn’t listened to this album in years. I think I like it more than self-titled.
I love every Cartel album except this one, which I've never given a proper listen to until now. Let's go. Deep South Retrograde Conventional Friend (sounds like Luckie St. at first. And I love me some Luckie St.)
Deep South - 7 Typical - 0 See Me Now - 2 Retrograde - 5 Conventional Friend - 2 The Perfect Mistake - 5 Even though “Deep South” is the better song, I reeeaaalllly did not expect “Typical” to get left out in the cold - it’s a bop! Similarly, even though I totally get “Perfect Mistake” winning, “Conventional Friend” is such a banger, you guys! In any case, onto Round Two!
Cycles ROUND TWO 1.) Faster Ride vs. Deep South 2.) Let’s Go vs. It Still Remains 3.) Only You vs. Retrograde 4.) 27 Steps vs. The Perfect Mistake
Faster Ride (Deep South is my favorite song on the record, but Faster Ride is quintessential Cartel) Let's Go Only You The Perfect Mistake
Faster Ride (their best song) It Still Remains (I still can't get into Let's Go) Only You The Perfect Mistake
Deep South (Faster Ride is great, but I prefer Deep South by a little bit) Let’s Go Retrograde The Perfect Mistake
That's essentially what kept me away from this album until now. I'm really enjoying it, though, there's some really good songwriting on it. Deep South Let’s Go Only You 27 Steps
“Retrograde” is one of my favorite Cartel songs, but so is “Only You,” which is lovely, heartfelt, and a deserving winner. In any case... Faster Ride - 2 Deep South - 5 Let’s Go - 6 It Still Remains - 1 Only You - 4 Retrograde - 3 27 Steps - 1 The Perfect Mistake - 6 Round Three begins next!
Just a reminder that this round remains opens for 48 hours. Enjoy your weekend, everyone! Cycles ROUND THREE 1.) Deep South vs. Let’s Go 2.) Only You vs. The Perfect Mistake
