Starset Horizons
STARSET, for myself, has always been a band I wished could overtake me. I'm an easy target for Dustin and Co., and while I've definitely enjoyed and digested their past output, I don't think I've ever felt quite this connected to it. HORIZONS reminds me of some of my favorite moments from the first trips I took with this band, but in a much more accessible and streamlined manner. HORIZONS is stripped of the convoluted interludes that plagued the entirety of Divisions and fragments of both Vessels and Transmissions. Further, it is a more focused- though less diverse- and powerful effort than the previous record, and feels slightly more intense		4.0

Schattenmann Chaos
This is an album with undeniable problems. The lyrics aren't always as strong as they could be and there's some bizarre decisions made in terms of the song-writing (quieting two guest vocalist parts in the mix, for example), but damn if this thing isn't a lot of fun. The album cover is mischievous as hell and that is probably the word best used to describe the vibe of this album. Pure and utter mischief, as it barrels through high-octane industrial metal that borrows from punk, Broadway, hip-hop, groove, and folk in equal measure. 		3.5

Ed Sheeran =
On the one hand, EQUALS is an ever so slightly less annoying romp from superstar-pretending-to-be-boy-next-door Ed Sheeran. There's more pop energy here, with both "Bad Habits" and "Stop The Rain" boasting funky beats and legitimately catchy choruses. While those two songs are easily the best and most coherent tracks here, other tracks like "2step" and "Collide" come close to meeting the same threshold of legitimate quality as the former two songs do. On the other hand, Sheeran is still stuck in milquetoast piano ballads and aggravating, painfully honest (not in a good way) lyrical storytelling. I'm glad you found a woman you love and are now		2.5

Starset Divisions
The most stunning thing about this record is how lopsided it ends up being. In truth, the first eight songs (with the exception of the ever-present unnecessary interludes) are powerful explorations of abuse, confusion, death, and exploration. Dustin can write and perform well. However, with the exception of "Trials" and "Diving Bell", the last half or so of the album suffers greatly. While it would be unfair to label any of the tracks here as outright filler, this area of the record gets the closest, and the album's length could've definitely been trimmed. Still, if you're a fan of nu, alt, or even industrial rock/metal, there's promise to be		3.0
