The Voice, That HOOK!! Starset It Has Begun - Reaction Session From Twitch 

My favorites are Satellite, faultline, ricochet

Waiting on the Sky to Change and Leaving This World Behind are some of my favorites!

Damn that's cool. I can't imagine knowing any of these creative minds. They've been my favorite since 2014 when I first heard them on Pandora. Been a wild ride.

Would love your reaction...

Just hearing this track now. Wow! Thanks for dropping the comment. ❤

I saw them on accident. I went for Smash Into Pieces and when I told the people around me I wasn’t staying their reaction told me I should wait for it. The stage production was amazing, and they sounded great. The audience was crazy engaged. There was, however, something that really bugged me, and I am really interested in some input. During the first half of the performance, all the men were completely covered in space suits, while the girls were wearing tiny shorts and essentially strapless bikini tops. I kept thinking about what my daughters, who are still very young, might take from that. If you’re a woman, do you have to show more skin to belong on the same stage as your male band mates? Is it pandering to the audience? Maybe they just feel strong and powerful that way. I don’t have any judgement at all towards the performers, but it’s definitely a purposeful choice, and it definitely took away from an otherwise amazing show. I am genuinely interested in people’s opinions…hopefully.

@@rob3040 this is something that has been brought up with Dustin before. The short answer is that the ladies choose to wear them. The longer answer is that Siobhan and Z prefer these stage costumes to their former, more gender neutral ones, and they feel like powerful, badass women in them. Also, they appreciate that these costumes keep them cooler because it gets HOT on stage. If either of them had a problem with it, they would happily be accommodated and wear something closer to what the guys wear. The costumes are meant to be sexy, yes, but they also dress according to the lore behind the band. For the Horizons headliner demonstrations, they started out in either New East (the futuristic white with black accents) or rebel gear (the post-apocalyptic, steampunk goggles, tattered, sand people looking outfits) and then during intermission (a propaganda video about the BMI, brain machine interface) they changed into the old school costumes, with the original 3 touring band members in space suits (although Adam, the drummer, stopped wearing his space suit mask at some point because it was too constricting), Dustin in his nerdy scientist getup (bow tie, glasses, and a black coat; he throws the bow tie and glasses into the crowd after every show), and Cory and the ladies in black outfits.

All safe, thank you!

Ok I’ve heard most of the track now. I think I don’t like his accent, but I think the bigger problem is in post. Something about that style of vocal effects / engineering just drives me crazy, and it’s everywhere in music. Makes it sound fake and generic at the same time, too my ears. I enjoyed the song from an instrumental perspective.

Yea its just his voice. It's ok to not like a voice even though they are clearly good at singing they just don't strike the right chords for your ears.

@@derrickc6125 that’s fair. I do think it’s a bit of both in this case. Not sure if it’s some chorusing or autotune or what, but I hear a similar effect all over the place. I end up listening to quite a few bands where I don’t exactly like the vocals because it’s hard to find similar instrumentation with better vocals. Take what you get, I guess!

@@yhamez it's funny, I've heard people react to Starset for the first time and say that Dustin has some kind of European accent they can't pinpoint. He's from Ohio, haha. And he doesn't really have much of a regional accent when he talks. But he does make some unique choices in how he pronounces certain words when he sings. One that comes to mind is how he says "surrender" in Bringing It Down, especially live.

@@lc81002 interesting! I was thinking of an American accent that I can’t quite place. Kinda reminds me of the way some pop punk singers pronounce things. It works for some music but drives me a little crazy in some genres. Vocals are such a particular thing. Thanks for the info, really appreciate it!

Decapitated maybe?

He has. About a year ago.

Bruh, how?

literally how and where?

L hater

What does it feel like to be completely and utterly wrong?
