Cartel - Save Us (Original 2005 Album Version)

This song and album artwork are copyrighted by their respective authors. This upload should be considered archival in nature, and therefore fair use, since this version of the song has been removed from the album and replaced. The original album was released in Sept 2005 via The Militia Group. Cartel signed to Epic in March 2006 and rereleased the album three months later. This would've been fine and dandy if it hadn't been touched, but for some reason they rewrote and rerecorded "Save Us" to include the whole band. It's not known if this was the band's idea or if it was forced on them by their new corporate overlords. That newer version, IMO, is wildly overdone to the point it feels out of place. They could've tacked it onto the end as a bonus track rather than do a wholesale replacement, effectively throwing the original in the trash, but alas. I've never liked the replacement version, and it kinda screws up the flow of the whole album, IMO. The "worst" part is that streaming services usually only offer the most up-to-date version of albums, so this Epic version is what you'll find on YouTube, Spotify, Apple, et al. This is the original version, straight outta 2005, and is much simpler in nature. No guitars, more subtle strings that better match those at the end of the album, and no awkward and forced pitch shift that fails to capture whatever emotion was being attempted in that moment. This is the song as it was meant to be, and there are literally dozens of us that care about it being that way! The new version may be more "epic", going from a guy and a piano to a whole band, but at what cost? It was a better song when it was simpler. I could not find a physical disc when I went digging around for it. I found old hard drives, though, so this "video" was made from from a 224 KB/s MP3 using ffmpeg. As such the audio quality can only be but so good.
