Woah! Dustin's vocals have improved massively over the years. He doesn't have a conventionally singing voice but he trained it well enough to put on a great show

[@anonymousperson3023]

He was never good. He was really bad to start. It's better now but still subpar to any half decent vocalist. It's okay to be honest. Dustin is not a trained singer

[@-xlntc91x-]

@@anonymousperson3023 he is decent. You definitely can't compare him to the likes of Brent Smith, Corey Taylor, you name 'em. But given that he sounded quite bad a few years ago, he's come a long way and his voice is enjoyable instead of just a necessary instrument for their musical vision

[@ethanormax3477]

I've never seen a fan base so supportive to a rock band the way Starset's fans are. They deserve all the love and support they get, and so much more. I hope they keep growing and become more recognizable for the world to know about them :)

[@profictionproshipper]

"who knew the emptiness could be so cold." it was.. legendary.

[@Raynedog00]

To this day I haven't heard a bad Starset song. I can't remember how I found their music back before the first album dropped. I think it was a KZbin recommendation and i listened to My demons and Carnivore. After that i waited on bated breath for their album to actually drop. I went and bought it on CD and the digital version so I could listen in my car and at home.

[@apple_b0tt0m16]

Absolutely agree. I'm thoroughly convinced they are incapable of making bad music. & I always make sure to mention that whenever I'm recommending their gloriousness to those with virgin ears. 😍

[@FatalVindicator]

I found Starset down a rabbit hole of last.fm recommendations starting with Red, or maybe 10 Years. Starset instantly took a top 3 spot amongst those mentioned bands

[@shaunswieringa171]

This is exactly the same for me. Found em before the first album with demons and carnivores and went right to preorder and binged em so much haha. Saw em live in the beginning with all that remains. They were waiting outside after handing out flyers for starset, saw I was wearing a starset shirt and the guitarist was so happy, almost in tears that I was there specifically for them

[@Burrowtaylor]

I remember I heard My Demons on the radio once and Shazam-ed it and then when I saw Breaking Benjamin in concert Starset opened up for them and I've loved them ever since. I listened to their first CD on repeat for a year straight and that's not an exaggeration lol

Yes, this is the "Arknights anyone?" comment you're looking for. Love the songs, somehow Starset reminded me of Linkin Park. Hope the band will be more recognized someday, more than that famous singer out there who depends on autotune too much.

[@angusmorris4154]

Salieri AS Starset is the next Linkin Park imo. Once they take off, they’ll define a generation of rock-lovers.

[@darkrealmlight92]

@@katlynbrown651 A mobile gacha game used two of Starset's songs - Unbecoming and Monsters - for two of the game's promotional trailer. That game is called Arknights. In fact you may have noticed that there are newer fans on this channel chanting or commenting about Arknights. In a way Arknights indirectly promoted Starset to people like me who never heard of this band before. So I guess you can say this is a win-win situation.

Dustin is honestly in my top 3 vocalists of all time with Chester Bennington and Danny Worsnop. His versatility is insane. I NEED to see them live soon. Starset have a really special meaning to me actually. When I first discovered them with Vessels then listening to Transmissions I was going through some stuff and it was so different to anything else I’d ever listened to it was amazing. Then when Divisions came out it was just after my birthday and it felt so special. Starset are more than a band. They are a movement. Thanks Starset for all you do. You’ve really helped me get in the right state mind and push through some of my biggest challenges. Keep rocking Starset! 🤘🤘

Let it Die: "I cut you up, searching for your imperfections..." Monster: "You cut it out..."

[@infiniteaj8688]

There's just something so beautiful about their Acousitc versions. The same lyrics, yet the songs feel so different. They almost have a completely different meaning. Take 'Die For You' for instance. The original makes you think that the persona in the song is going through a type of war to save their loved one, and has so much conviction that they can and really will die for them, while the Acoustic version sounds so much more sad and final, as if the persona has failed to save them, and is now lamenting they couldn't hold up their promise. I absolutely love this band. Please never stop being awesome!

Well, I'm kind of wondering if they'll take a step into the feel of the first album. Honestly, they do is amazing, and I support them all the way. The Divisions and Horizons albums are so similar I consider them to be one big album. So cool and I hope more bands take up influence on how vast and creative their music can be. Doesn't even the narrative that they tell.
