Blueprint - Sign Language




















1. Numb
2. Time Management Rebuilt
3. In the Beginning
4. The Lounge
5. Untitled
6. Rain Must Fall
7. Midnight
8 6 a.m.

The follow up to Blueprint's fantastic album 'Chamber Music' falls somewhat short of true greatness. The problem isnt the music itself, which is fantastic, top notch instrumentals, very much in the same vein as 'Chamber Music', only pushed farther in new and interesting directions. The problem as you can see is...well the album is only 8 tracks long, leaving us with under 30 minutes of music. The music that is here is superb, but the experience is simply over to quickly, right when you start to get in to the groove of things the rug is yanked from under you and reality comes crashing back down. Running time aside though the album is musically a worthy follow up, Print proves time and time again why he's one of the most underrated and fantastic beat makers hip hop has to offer. Perfect for the ride to school or work, or maybe even for a nice 30 minute run, had the album been longer it could have been classic, as it stands though its simply a fantastic body of music that ends much too soon.

Overall - 3/5
