This EP sees a return of the UK supergroup that is The Blueprint. This is a strong Rock CD with track 1 not even requiring vocals to be used as the instruments tell the story far better than any vocals could. It is an exciting song and even in the absence of vocals you do not get bored as it is raw and interesting. To me, it is just as good as the other songs on the CD which do have vocals and each of these 6 tracks are good in their own individual way and they have that special touch which allows them to have aggression, some post-hardcore and also pop sensibilities at the same time. They have some rather aggressive and heavy tracks like ‘International House Of Dirt’ while also catering for the audience looking for a more melodic groove with tracks such as ‘This Ends Here.’ So whether you like melodic tunes or hardcore and heavy tunes this is a CD that you should be looking into checking out as it caters for both audiences and does it well too. There is a good mix of both here and the two work well together to make The Blueprint’s sound original and unique to them. Although it is an EP and only has six tracks you are left satisfied by what you are heard and it really gears you up for more so bring on the next Blueprint CD please! This is a great blend of post-hardcore and melodic masterpieces so check out this one and be surprised at how much the band have evolved since the release of ‘*zero*zero*one*.’
