Review: The Wanted EP (album)

For my first blog post, I am going to write a review of British-Irish Boyband - or LadBand as they call themselves- The Wanted's, latest album: Their self-titled EP (extended play). The EP was released April 24th earlier this year in the US and Canada via Mercury Records. The EP consists of tracks -mostly singles- from The Wanted's previous albums, The Wanted and Battleground, and a couple of new tracks including the danceable song, Chasing The Sun. The EP's overall score is 7/10, it is good but there is always room for improvement. A song on the EP, titled Sattelite is a good track and I would like to see it as single one day. Glad You Came, is, of course, on the EP. 

Glad You Came, the fresh, dancey tune that helped The Wanted, "break" America. Their debut single, All Time Low is also on the EP, a good tune that got straight to number 1 in the British charts and countless other countries. 

Lightning, the dancey synth-pop track that got to Number 2 on the British singles chart as well is also on the EP. 

Furthermore, we have Heart Vacancy, A true boyband-y song that was given to 4 diffrent artists before The Wanted finally recorded it. 

Heart Vacancy, the mix of pop, RnB, indie pop and electro pop can bring girls to tears when sung live. 

Gold Forever, A song taken as the lead single from their second studio album was the official  2011 Comic Relief charity single. 

The album is great but not AMAZING but it is worth picking up. (Not worth the RM42 I paid for it, though.) 

The  track listing is as follows;
1.Glad You Came
2.Chasing The Sun
3.All Time Low 
4.Satellite
5.Lightning
6.Heart Vacancy
7.Gold Forever 
8.Lose My Mind
9.Warzone
10.Rocket
