Cargo discography (890 words)
If this had been the Cargo album alone, it might have gained another halfstar but the bonus tracks are from their previous group called September actually ruin (a bit) the wholeness of the album.
On Cargo itself there is no flaws at all if it was not that this is a lone album and a pity they only made this one.
They "only" did one album (and apparently some singles and stuff...note the bonus tracks 8 tracks to be exactly!!)...but what an album.....the driving force of the two guitarplayers and the solid back-up of the bass and drum.
