Take a Look Inside

[Jason Tate]

I've had a lot of people ask what the new Cartel (http://www.cartelrocks.com) album cover looks like underneath the ocard (http://www.absolutepunk.net/gallery/showimage.php?i=2291&c=7), well your answer is here (http://www.absolutepunk.net/gallery/showimage.php?i=2388&c=7). Don't forget - the first songs up for stream hit this website August 16th.

[hopeforthebest]

that looks awesome :bigsmile:

[Rohan Kohli]

Literally, my favorite CD ever.

[smalltownsburn]

Has a Head Automatica vibe to it, well atleast to me it does.

[tambo41187]

Very non boring, this looks really cool.

And I'm sure the music wont be half bad either... ;)

[TurnOnTheLight]

Has a Head Automatica vibe to it, well atleast to me it does.

yea i got that too. very cool looking though. does it fit the music well?

[kapler23]

i cant wait for this record!

[RockVocalPower]

Ehhhh...I expected something cooler.

[Darren McLeod]

Not too bad at all.

[Nate_RAWKS]

:headspin:

I don't think i can possibly be any more excited for this release. Well, ok...... maybe if the cd also came with naked pictures of the Olsen twins or something.

[InaGreendase]

Literally, my favorite CD ever.

Whoa, I'm sure the album's good, but can you really go calling an album your favorite ever when it isn't even out?

[Rohan Kohli]

Whoa, I'm sure the album's good, but can you really go calling an album your favorite ever when it isn't even out?

Yes I can, because I have it. Haha, why would anyone say what they think about a CD if they haven't heard it?

[Luckie St]

im so jealous dude. :(

[timmysavedlatin]

stonerific

[ShoeSh1ne]

But you're biased.

[Bruycker]

this cd blows everything away!



Ok i haven't got it yet but in time i'll post this :)

[InaGreendase]

Yes I can, because I have it. Haha, why would anyone say what they think about a CD if they haven't heard it?

I'm not questioning whether or not you have it, I just think it's weird that someone can make some rather bold statements about a CD they couldn't have had for very long.

[Rohan Kohli]

But you're biased.

In what way?

I'm not questioning whether or not you have it, I just think it's weird that someone can make some rather bold statements about a CD they couldn't have had for very long.

Trust me, I've listened to it many times, and I have no hesitation in saying that it's my favorite CD. I'm not saying it will be everyone's favorite CD, but for me, I honest to god couldn't ask for better music.

I want a hug Rohan. :love:

[Rohan Kohli]

:fuck:

[OveriseFan]

I want a hug Rohan.

That way?

haha.

Which is better, The Spill Canvas(the one c.d. we must buy this year) Jack's Mannequin(our generation's Billy Joel), or Cartel(your favorite c.d. all time)? I'm thinking Jack's from what I've heard.

:headspin:

I think i can be more excited for this release. if the cd also came with naked pictures of NATE or something.

my thoughts on the album.

Well, I've only heard the promo tracks for JM, so I can't really say. Obviously, for me, Cartel is first, then I'd probably say TSC, and then JM, though once I hear JM that may change, of course.

[splitsecond]

Jack's Mannequin(our generation's Billy Joel),

Woah woah woah, are you serious? This is even more innacurate than comparing Coldplay to U2.

[Jason Tate]

Woah woah woah, are you serious? This is even more innacurate than comparing Coldplay to U2.
Who's our generation's Billy Joel then?

[Nate_RAWKS]

my thoughts on the album.


haha Well, if you pre order the cd from Tower Records they do offer pictures of me in the buff as incentive. You might want to look into it....... :shake:

[XpunkXroutineX]

Dammit, you lucky duck. I wish I worked at an e-zine. :(

[OveriseFan]

I didn't say it...

though I kinda agree with it.

What i've heard of that(and those are rough too!) are awesome.

hahahahahahaha.

Oh Tower... :bigsmile:

[Jason Tate]

Who says our generation has to have a Billy Joel, Tate? Who says we need a Led Zeppelin?

No one says we have to have one; therefore, the comparison is there to make anyway. It's an observation, it's my way of pulling the past into the present .. nothing more, nothing less.

And I honestly don't get any of the hype surrounding Nightmare Of You. When Scraps And Heart Attacks split, This Is Hell definitely made off with the talent, and Nightmare Of You is left hanging in a very boring limbo.

Brandon wasn't in Scraps and Heart Attacks and he's NOY's lead singer ... either way, This is Hell doesn't have the melody or vocal talent for me to get into them; decent musicmanship, but the lyrics and vocals aren't up to par with nightmare of you. To each his own ... I think alot of people are really going to dig the new NOY album though.

So if we liked their 5 song ep, then we are going to like the full length?

[Jason Tate]

I don't think many people will not like the full-length, it's got very wide appeal. My parents actually like the full-length ... haha.

[tambo41187]

Nice, nice, i would not see them appealing to parents but what do i know. They blend together dark lyrics with insanely catchy songs, it's a great mix.

[EvilButters]

Very nice. This album is going to be amazing. I can feel it. Well you know...feel it...and get that impression from all the hype around here. That's okay though, I love the EP and that stream can't come soon enough.

[Jesse2]

hey tate... how long are these streams going to be up for? I'm going to be out of the country until the 24th and I'm dying to hear these new cartel songs. Am I going to be S.O.L. until the album comes out?

UHm.. not sure I remember off the top of my head, I posted the schedule for the streams somewhere in the news a while ago .. I'll go look for it.

[Luckie St]

I don't think many people will not like the full-length, it's got very wide appeal. My parents actually like the full-length ... haha.

speaking of music parents like. my mom and dad really like The Format Snails ep.

[Jason Tate]

You cannot say that This Is Hell's vocals are not up to par with NOY. They're on completely different planes. That's like comparing With Honor to Acceptance, Bane to Armor For Sleep, and, well I'm sure you know what I'm getting at.

I'm not denying they've got good vocals, melodies, and the like, but what I've been heard is.. bland I suppose. I know Brandon wasn't in SAHA, but the members that were seem less akin to NOY's style than they did with SAHA. Tate you don't listen to hardcore, and while I'm not judging you on that basis, I am saying that you shouldn't be judging a hardcore singers vocal qualifications.

It's also blasphemous to say that This Is Hell doesn't compare to NOY lyrically. This Is Hell is far beyond what most hardcore bands in their sound niche write lyric wise, and NOY are simply average.
You asked for my opinion, and I gave it to you ... sorry for not folding into the package you wanted, but you don't dig NOY, I don't dig TIH, I'm not sure why we have to argue this? Can't we both just accept that the other person doesn't like what we do? It's perfectly logical, and fine, to disagree over which band we enjoy more.

I'm trying to get my dad in to Daphne Loves Derby ... he's not budging from Micheal Buble at the moment though (that fucker can sing btw...).

[Luckie St]

hahaha. yes. he can. that's some easy listening.

[cinematic_life]

i want the Cartel CD. hm, just have to wait until the release date.

btw, i love your siggy

'cuz i aint no hollaback boy'

I'm trying to get my dad in to Daphne Loves Derby ... he's not budging from Micheal Buble at the moment though (that fucker can sing btw...).
daphne loves derby is great music and i know that my parents love them haha

[fever]

still not impressed by the art. i am pretty sure its going to be amazing though, so i don't really care what it looks like.

[Tony Pascarella]

I love the new Cartel like you wouldn't believe. Rohan's not bullshitting you guys.

[Jesse2]

UHm.. not sure I remember off the top of my head, I posted the schedule for the streams somewhere in the news a while ago .. I'll go look for it.

Thanks, I just found it. I'm a douche and I didn't realize that was posted. Glad to know I won't miss it...

[I Shoot Bands]

for some reason i think of clarity when i look at it.

[piebaldkid42]

lame.

[Just An End]

1) Spill Canvas
2) Nightmare of You
3) A Wilhelm Scream
4) Minus the Bear
5) Days Away
6) Cartel
7) Jacks Mannequin
8) Acceptance
9) Spitalfield
10) Gatsbys American Dream


not exactly what i expected, but hey, it's cartel, so who cares... and tate, do you really think the new spitalfield should be ranked that high on your list? compared to "remember right now", i thought it really fell short.... idk, just me i guess

[druck]

good to see minus the bear so high on tates list, but wheres copeland? i thought you gave that a 10.

anyway - i'm pumped for chroma.

[ShoeSh1ne]

Cause you're from thier hometown. It was a joke.

[LilRyan732]

August 16th...what a fucking birthday present.

[FullBlast_This]

The Ransom is likely my favourite EP of all time. This album is so utterly important to my music collection, I cannot wait for what kind of impact it will have on me.
