Blueprints for the Black Market is the debut studio album by the band Anberlin. It was released on May 6, 2003,[1] barely a year after the band formed, and was the only album that was released with guitarist Joey Bruce in the band line-up. Blueprints had two singles, "Readyfuels", for which a music video was filmed and "Change the World (Lost Ones)".[2] Although the album has sold over 60,000 units,[3] its success pales compared to Anberlin's later albums, failing to chart on the Billboard 200.
Music style
The music has been referred to as Emo sounding.[1][4]
