Cartel Band • Page 18

This warped tour set has me really wanting to go see a Cartel show.

 

Started a weekend gig to make some extra money delivering meals for a meal service near me. First day was today so I did a discog run (minus the EPs). Was a very good choice.
Collider is my second favorite album of theirs, easily.

 

Collider is really fucking good. Might be the one I reach for most.

 

I think Cycles is pretty much perfect. If I want later Cartel, that’s what I put on.

 

There's way too much talk about if self titled is good or not (it's not), that we always fail to discuss how great Cycles and Collider are

 

Cycles is also awesome. Honestly, every record they've put out is good (S/T) to great (the other three).

 

There's some real good songs on S/T, but the clunkers are... clunkers.
The highs on Collider hit more for me than on Cycles, but I like that album a lot, too.

 

Collider is my fav overall

 

Collider is my number 2.

Cycles is my number 1, mainly bc of the memories tied to it.

And Conventional Friend is my favorite Cartel song. Banger.

 

Oops, I dropped this: Will Pugh of Cartel

 

new album 2026 rise up

 

Really excited for new Cartel music.

 

Sounds like they got a banger of an album ready for us.

 

The latest singles have been really cool, I'm excited

 

So 2026 will bring us new albums from The Ataris, Saosin and now Cartel. Taking bets on the next 00s band to do the same. From Autumn To Ashes? (Anberlin with Matty oop)

 

Wut

 

Happens all the time

 

Luckie St goes hard

 

Luckie st feels like it’s twice as fast but it’s roughly the same length as the original chroma version. Ransom version is like 10 seconds longer lol

 

I always preferred the tempo of the Ransom version but understood the decision to speed it up on Chroma.

 

Holy shit, Luckie St. sounds like an entirely new song to me. What a surprise, I absolutely love this.

 

Luckie St. sounds amazing. Let's redo the entire Ransom EP too while we're at it.

 

For the first note I always think it’s someone doing karaoke. But then I hear Will’s tone.

 

Both singles are a little sanitized for my taste. Strong vocal compression and everything sounds snapped to tempo. Might have more energy, but does it have the feeling?
