Cartel - self-titled

Now playing:

Album: Cartel (buy)

Track: This Is Who We Are (listen)

My main impression of this album, the first thing that comes to mind when I think of it, is that it pales in comparison to Cartel’s previous album, Chroma.  And that’s a shame because it’s not that this is a bad album -- it’s quite good in fact -- but rather it’s just that Chroma is pretty much impossible to top.  Still, the new album is worth owning, and it’s growing on me over time.
