Definitely their best album. This shit is unreal all this time later.

Six years after their previous album, Californian punk rockers Strung Out release their long-delayed 8th studio LP 'Transmission.Alpha.Delta'. A sort of encapsulation of their entire career in one record, there is no great reinvention here, but the balance of modern & nostalgia is undoubtedly satisfying. As pacy as ever, the technically proficient quintet showcase some marvelous guitar leads, while Jordan Burns' drumming is always on point. Slickly produced (by Kyle Black) to emphasize its melodic qualities, this consistent & cohesive LP is up there with the bands best! Recommended Tracks: Go It Alone, Tesla, The Animal and the Machine, Black Maps & Rats in the Walls.

Strung Out put out another great (if slightly
predictable) release. It's not really any different
from what they were doing on Blackhawks or Agents -
Transmission.Delta.Alpha is full of great songs, jam
packed full of fiery interesting guitar work,
fantastic vocals and excellent drumming that sits
comfortably near the top of the genre. Strung Out
have a tried-and-true sound that works well for them
but their strict adherence to it is the band's
undoing at times in that the album has a very
general sound that doesn't stray far from the
template of past records. They're all very well
written and enjoyable but never really step over the
brink into classic status, although they are buoyed
by the production which is by far the best of Strung
Out's career to date, and it certainly stands alone
as their most melodic and catchiest release yet...
but do we really want a tamer, poppier Strung Out?
After 4 years between records, it feels like the
band is playing a little too safe in comparison to
the work being released by contemporaries like A
Wilhelm Scream, Forus, Propagandhi and even Lagwagon
in the last couple years. So what we're left with
is a very good album of really great attempts and
almosts that overall is quite pleasing and enjoyable
to listen to but simply doesn't touch the band's
earlier stronger work.
