What an awesome review of Reflections. I loved watching this and hearing his take on the songs. Perfection!!

Thank you!

Found these guys back in high school around 08 so many memories seeing them live 🖤 they still got it

I had to come back to this because I didn't fully understand the exact gravity of the line "manufactured victims of manufactured games". You kind of glossed over it a tad bit, but when you think on it, there is an astronomical amount of ways it can be interpreted. I won't go into detail because YT doesn't like me spilling the beans, but... if you look around and just watch, you'll see exactly what I mean. Especially given everything that has occurred within the last 8 days. We see these manufactured victims all over social media. All the manufactured games.

Such a fun breakdown. Great stuff!

Aussie here...changes on high rotation on mainstream radiio atm

Sebastian had his limitations and he was not open for everything. He was also already disappointed of the two last album released with him. The departure of him was unavoidable at some point. The whole creative process came to an hold. Nico joining the band was the best what ever could happen to this band. That doesn't mean the songs with Sushi were all inferior, although there are some songs which are kind of mid. The biggest problem was they still did not found their own style. They made music which made everyone in the emo core or metal core scene. With Nico finally was a shift possible.

5:15 Kevins role in the band was also uplifted after Sushi left. Sushi was main vocalist and main shouter at the same time for Eskimo Callboy. Kevin was "only" their support shouter (and keyboard artist). With Nico joining, the jobs were re-distributed within Electric Callboy again. Now Nico is main vocalist for clean vocals (while also doing some shouting in support) and Kevin is main vocalist for shouting (while also doing some clean vocals in support). So it's also a much better balance between the two of them now. You can see it pretty well when they performed a bunch of older songs (e.g. on their Hypa Hypa Tour 2022) with their new constellation. Who is doing which vocals was shifted a lot and Kevin had to do much more to support Nico with these older songs.

1:53 Well, to add to your list of things regarding Nico as their new vocalist: Nico also toured with his band To the Rats and Wolfes together with Eskimo Callboy (multiple tours actually). So they knew each other quite well. Furthermore, he also was their backup vocalist for an EC tour in Russia. So he was considered as an alternative to Sebastian before. What held them back was, that they didn't knew about Nicos future plans and his ambitions - he never said anything before.

Lol was waiting for your reaction when it came out and I forgot to spin back but I’m here!!! Good video as always

SOMEONE FOUND NORMAN AKA THE PUPPET FOR THIS

why is none of the reactors talking about the role of mushrooms in this clip? this is the same message about how psychedelic mushrooms lead to the awakening of humanity from sleep in the matrix.

please tell me where can I find the lyrics of this song?

Очень люблю этот трек. Мощный.

Thanks - your thoughts made me see things in this song and video I hadn't noticed

This has a straight up classic “KISS” sound

I'm impressed, verry good review 🔥💪

Liamoo won swedish idol in 2016 aswell

Starset has always been warning of this desolate future, and with Degenerate, we're piercing the veil. Sure, the focus is on those in power. However, it isn't a political message. It's more of a human issue. Sure, the sentiment is accurate. But the ultimate truth is that we, the masses, allow this. Now, if Starset touches on that fact, i will be in utter shock.

It’s one of those songs that really grows on you after 2 or 3 listens. It’s a very layered piece with great structure and balance.It’s a prime example of everything (no pun intended) working in harmony,I particularly like the added layers as it builds up to the crescendo. I believe this song won’t age,it will be as listenable in 30 or 100 years as it is now. I even like the simple video,it complements the song very well.Not sure what the goat is about,it probably just wandered along to see what was going on? 😄

The lyrics and the video all made me cry how shitty we are as human beings.

dustin did say on twitter that the ai art is actually from paid artists that willingly put their art into an ai generator to generate ai slop specifically for this video.

Awesome commentary and reaction! Hard to find others who look into the deeper meaning of this song!

I do think the AI video was done for a sense of irony. They made it look "bad" on purpose, trying to show just how terrible replacing everything with AI would be.

Love the song and video. Excited for the new album

Yeah I think the whole vibe of the new album will be anti AI

They better be doing more of those deep vocals in future tracks. “Down down down, it’s a race to the bottom” Sounds so satisfying.

It's actually talking about his previous 6 year toxic and abusive relationship. Songs like House on Sand, If It Doesn't Hurt, freefall and Blame It on the Drugs, for instance, all talk about Johnny's story of how it took him so long to break that relationship. That's what he means by STUCK, he means stuck in a toxic unhealthy relationship. It's his personal story.

Empire of the sun truly makes music forged in heaven

Empty their most recent song is super powerful!

Awesome reaction and review man thank you. I know Nothing More would appreciate it! The whole album is pretty amazing front to back as well 🔥

Nice video, your musical analysis is fantastic

I love Empire of the Sun. I have a very busy work schedule everyday, and I always take a break to listen to their amazing hits to perk me up for the rest of the day. Absolutely love Alive, Cherry Blossom, We are the People, Changes etc.etc. etc

This song is a shoe-in to be on the radio in GTA 6

Frank is criminally under rated then again most of the best are. Loved the analysis and that you took the time to do a little background, being from the states I always wondered how big his reach was at home.

My guy is yappin' but he speaks truth. The only Goliath here is Audio Autopsy!

I would be interested in a smashed to Pieces starset song

You desur:e way more than 100 veiws

I really like this song. Thank you for your reaction!

Could you check out Band Maid ‘Alone’ please? Band Maid is an all female Japanese band that dresses up as cafe maids and kick ass! 🍺😆These ladies are no joke and have a huge YT fan base so expect a lot of company if you react to them (do your research). Anyways could you also give me a shoutout for introducing them to you? 🍺😁🤘🏻

Enjoyed your reaction! Agree with your comments. This is a fun song and I love fun Ronnie!!

Nice review! Very thorough and insightful. 👍👍

It is weird having zero comments !

They are always fun and groovy.

This song was great live but would have been cooler if David could have been there.

Your insights and reviews to all those music videos and songs are so good and I enjoy every single one of it. Thank you so much for that!! I've found you through the review of "Angel Song" by Nothing More yesterday and watched many more reviews the past hours. You give so much love to every single song you review and I love it so so much. The Craving is such a vulnerable song in my opinion and I love Tyler Joseph for those songs that are more chill and personal. Both versions are amazing yet they have a really different vibe what I love. I'm very excited to see what songs or albums you review.

Dustin has already Clarified things up in his Instagram's personal account , a lot of people were understandably concerned that this would be starset's last album. To be fair, the title "the final chapter" and "it begins. and it ends. now. " is quite confusing. anyway, to be short, starset is not ending now, nor is it any time soon. I Dustin's own words "people were concerned that this tour title meant the end of STARSET. Quite the contrary. Much like the new years eve, the upcoming tour represents the climactic conclusion of the ongoing era. The last and best time to experience it, understand it, and be immersed in it before we move on. And much like the new years day tomorrow, the next chapter will begin with things being similar but different. A new season for new and grand things. A common Proclamation is that "the greatest days are ahead". So much so that it can feel like a hollow platitude, but for this project I honestly believe it to be the truth."

They have a music video with an intro to this track, kinda like "Ocean Floor" plays at the beginning of the video for "This is the Time". Its not make or break, but I think it really adds to the experience. Just a thought for if you want to check it out.

RM leader of BTS just released a beautiful and indie pop song called Come Back To Me, its a pre-release song for his new 11-track alternative genre album out tomorrow 24 May , hope you give "Come Back To Me" a listen and tomorrow's album launch will have the title track called LOST! . The teaser is so intriguing, and the album called "Right Place Wrong Person" has 7 out of 11 tracks rated Explicit and not for korean show broadcast. RM had said last year in his live that this album will be raw and honest , so we are all sat to listen to what he wants to say/rap/sing. :) There is also collabs with Little Simz and Moses Sumney for 2 songs inhis new album, hope you can give it a listen , thank you :)

i find the love songs harder to connect to out of their catalogue but i am really enjoying the chill vibes of this so far and the story of the video is such a clear and simple metaphor for the process of making musc.
