The Wanted: The EP
Aug 15th, 2012 by dcronin
“Although The Wanted fall into the multi-member teen pop tradition of such groups as *NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, and Take That, musically they evince more of a dance-rock, synth pop sound that is influenced as much by the modern rock uplift of Coldplay and Snow Patrol as it is the more club-oriented R&B of the Justins: Timberlake and Bieber. Ultimately, there is a musical sophistication and higher maturity level to The Wanted’s sound than you might expect…it makes for an engaging listen with broad cross-generational appeal.” –All Music Guide
