Not really a hard record
The only good songs on here are "Let's Go", "Only You", "The Perfect Mistake" "Typical" and "Conventional Friend", the last two mentions being okay. "Let's Go" is my favorite song from this band and is the reason I bought this record. "Only You", a softer song, is actually a soft song without sounding cheesy. Mostly all of the rest of the tracks basically sound like an alternative version of Christian CCM acts "Leeland" and "Phil Wickham", and are very boring. The tracks that prove this are "Deep South", "See Me Now", "Faster Ride", and "It Still Remains". These are songs that should have been taken back to the studio and done like the good songs. Yet another example of a band that does better with pop punk than they do with boring tracks on this record. Consider this, if you choose this album, ignore the bad tracks and choose the good tracks instead.

Great CD
The cd is in very good condition. Every song played perfectly, there were no scratches or marks. The case and booklet were in excellent shape. It was like buying a new cd. As for the music itself, I enjoy the band and every song on the album. The songs are catchy, interesting, and the lyrics are great. I listen to it almost everyday or every other day and it hasn't gotten old yet.

I like it!!
I really liked this CD! I only had A Perfect Mistake before I bought it, and I thought the song was really good so I checked them out ^^ I love the song Faster Ride, it's one of my favorites. Good buy! I thought it was worth it

Hitting the mark
I found these guys in college years ago...and just recently they have been popping back up on my streaming radio station. It's been great to listen again. The music drives really well...

Great!
Amazing album. Second best after Chroma! Deep South is killer! Quick postage too, one week to get to Australia, extremely impressed with Cartel and Amazon alike

Cartel does it again
Another great CD from one of my favorite bands. Classic Cartel sound with some harder songs (Deep South) and more chill songs (Only You). Great vocals and excellent instrumentation make it another winner by a fantastic band.

よりロックになってる!
アルバム「Chroma」の「Honesty」でCartelを知りました。最近ビビッとくる曲が無いなーと思い、ふと思い出しCartelを調べると、なんと2枚もアルバムが出ていました。アルバム「CARTEL」はポップ色が強いです。「Lose it」が良いですね。そして驚いたのはこのアルバム「cycles」です。ハードロックとまでは行かないですが、かなり骨太なロックです。「Let's Go」「The Perfect Mistake」「Faster Ride」「Typical」の4曲は良いですね!特に「Faster Ride」の出だしからのあのリズムはズンズン響きます。これからも要チェックなバンドになりました。
