The most focused & consistent of all 9 EPs in 'The Color Spectrum' collection, the 'Red EP' highlights what The Dear Hunter can do when pulling back their progressive tendencies & playing straight-ahead alt-rock. The sound is reminiscent of a band like The Foo Fighters, where passionate anger & driving melodies combine seamlessly to result in a near faultless 14 minutes worth. The bass-driven 'Deny It All' is best, perfectly showcasing the guest vocals of Manchester Orchestra's Andy Hull, who provides just the antidote to anyone claiming this effort lacks variety. Recommended Tracks: Deny It All, I Couldn't Do It Alone & A Curse of Cynicism.

Like Black, this one takes a few step back from the prog to focus on straight-up hard rockin' alt-rock with a slight stoner tone. One of my fave of The Color Spectrum.

Straightforward alt-rock with an aggressive edge at moments. This one took some time to grow for me for some reason. Some of it feels "samey" with the instruments sounding a bit simplified. "We've Got a Score to Settle" is a highlight and I wish the rest of the EP matched that song quality and intensity. Still it's an EP with both Casey Crescenzo and Andy Hull so that alone is pretty amazing.

Not as exhilarating as "Black", but a solid EP; first track sounds like the song was half-over when they started recording. 3.2/5

The Dear Hunter's play on classic rock/grunge, with help from that dude Andy from Manchester Orchestra (hes great btw). It's a cool EP, definitely took me by surprise but it's kind of hit and miss. Very samey too. Deny it All is awesome though. The band tries to tackle so many different genres on this collection, and even though it worked well on this EP it's still not the best The Color Spectrum has to offer. Listen just to hear the epicness that is Andy Hull, but besides that, it's skippable.

This is definitely the weakest EP in the Spectrum, although "We've Got a Score to Settle" is one of the better songs in the Spectrum.
