Review

'Transmissions' by Starset is a musical odyssey that transports listeners to uncharted territories of sound. From the moment the haunting notes of 'First Light' drift through the speakers, we're catapulted into a world where hard rock collides with swirling synths and classical strings. The album's concept unfolds like a sci-fi novel, each track a new chapter in an otherworldly saga. Rob Graves' production, coupled with Ben Grosse's mixing, creates a sonic landscape that's both vast and intimate, allowing songs like 'Carnivore' to roar with blistering guitar riffs while 'Antigravity' soars with cinematic grandeur.

This debut offering from Starset isn't just a collection of tracks; it's a statement of intent. The band's ability to seamlessly blend genres is on full display, with 'My Demons' showcasing their knack for layering synths over rock foundations. The success of singles like 'Halo' and 'Carnivore' on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart speaks to the album's commercial appeal, while deeper cuts like 'Telescope' and 'It Has Begun' reveal the depth of their artistic vision. With 'Transmissions', Starset didn't just enter the alternative metal scene - they redefined it, crafting an album that resonates with the power of a cosmic event and the intimacy of a whispered secret. - Blair
