Release Date: 2017 | Tracklist

Review Summary: Not quite Britney Spears of metal with a male singer, but really close.

Whereas TesseracT have some lazy vocals, and the songwriting allows for endless meandering, Voyager are much more direct. There’s barely a dull moment here, just straightforward tracks that manage to infuse elements from disco, and the 80s into chunky, abso***inlutely happy slapping djent. You might think I’m describing Twelve Foot Ninja, but uh, not quite because this is a Voyager review you ***ing idiot. The bands share much in common, such as a guitar that’s thick as *** like my dick that ***s. Oh the places you will go, the things you will hear, with a pace out of control and metallic bling to the ears (that’s earrings homie).

The classic rock vocals like frantic, stalked opals. Guitars complicated like manic morse code, strong enough to put Bieber into a damned chokehold. They stick to the planet’s bro code, yet with their influences they seem more exotic than a Spanish horned toad. The audience is ravaged more so than other bands that don’t slap it like porn shows. I bet the band have gorgeous toes, because when they deFEET you it’s not for show. Sorry playa. I will stop rapping now cause I’m bored though scored goals.

Metal bands have the risk of sounding poppy when they have a singer and the catchy music, like this band, and it is lovelier than discovering flowers at your porch with a card that says, “Don’t worry about Clara, I took care of her”. Indeed, the band has a plentitude of Madonna moments (just listen to Lifeline for ***’s sake), sounding like the entire album is a progressive take on Material Girl. Honestly, if you can’t see the pop elements in here than I don’t even know what to do to you man, but you will suffer for your sins one day. If someone doesn’t string you up by your toenails at the edge of a cliff, they probably have equally bizarre musical opinions, just saying. There’s also a bit of U2 in the band if you’re paying attention, but only the good parts like their album The Joshua Tree. It’s a unique band is what I’m getting at, and all parts are catchy and super duper heavy. Pos.

I assure you the length of my dick, uh, I mean review is hard and average size, with descriptions that penetrate and really dig into it anally. Butt cheekiness aside it’s my best review EVAR?!!!

You really ought to wait until your previous review has dropped off the main page, cos you’re pushing other peoples reviews out by posting rapidly. The main page has FIVE reviews from you, general rule is one per day or wait until your others have gone from the main page

Hmm I usually do one review per day but yeah the site is infested with my reviews. I’m not used to Sputnikmusic being so dead tbh, back in the day this was a swirling cesspool of scum and villainy. I suppose I must adjust with the times. 😭

The rule is one per day not one per front page. Its not pizza's fault that so few people review albums that the frontpage is all his.

[Edit] nvm yes it is. Why are you reviewing 3 albums a day pizza ? N00b mistake.

Mate. There’s only been three user reviews today. That is shameful compared to efforts of the past. Sputnik is dead.

Sputnik needs to make an instagram account and post the staff reviews with a snippet of the review as the caption and a link to the site

The traditional sputnik review format is just really bad in general. Whats accepted and encouraged around here is basically a wall of text that contains endless and mindless descriptions and metaphors of the sound. but that is overly literal and boring writing

Reading anything is meant to be entertaining. Not properly formatted

What pizza is doing in this review is taking a shot at moving away from a way of reviewing that is common around here that has proven to be stale and just not work

The word formulaic gets thrown around here as a pejorative all the time and the irony is how people review is almost always the same useless format
