A month after Civil War, before anything else in Phase 3, Thor is told to kill all the prisoners in Asgard. When he finds Loki inside, he questions the directive. The adventure that ensues is fairly predictable.

"Released on September 13th, 2019, DIVISIONS is the third studio album by STARSET. Fronted by Dustin Bates, STARSET is known for their elaborate shows and their detailed, cinematic rock albums. To watch STARSET live is to watch a spectacle of light and sound that leaves you in awe. There is an augmented reality app, aptly titled STARSET, that was first meant to be used during the live concert. This has since been updated to have some functions outside of the concert setting. During the “Immersion: Part One” tour, Bates and his bandmates wore spacesuits. Bates, in fact, has a significant tie to space: he was a teacher at the International Space University Space Study Program at one point, and has solidified his image of being both an extremely imaginative and talented musician and an accomplished scientist..."

OH HELLO-

[essentionesque]

opinion on times when Dustin says the word 'nothing' in songs?

You're gonna limit me to a single word? That's hard.

I could go off on whole lyrics, though. The man knows his way with words. Like, for example, I can highlight him making a callback to "Carnivore" in the second verse of "Antigravity". Not to mention how well he used narrative and film terms in "Noir" without making it seem too much for one song.

Plus, as someone who grew up with great interest in science (I had a closet shelf full of books about anatomy and astronomy), I understand a lot of the terms he drops in many of the lyrics across his discography. (Shoutout to "Unbecoming" for using "cauterized and atrophied".)

I can't limit my opinions on Dustin's genius to a single word.

I'm sorry but the scream in "Everglow" is THIRTY SECONDS LONG??? AND WAS ONE TAKE???

[essentionesque]

Well I didn't expect to be greeted with Dustin Bates returning to Instagram just to do an unboxing video.

Anyway...

IT HAS BEGUN HAS GOT A GOLD RECORD LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO

[essentionesque]

Transmissions turns 9 tomorrow so I redrew the album cover as an early birthday present.

[essentionesque]

Okay so I think this is clever.

Starset promotes critical thinking, right? Well, what was the best way they could help promote it?

By requiring us, the fanbase, to practice critical thinking by delving into their lore and figuring out the different puzzles and things they put out.

The whole thing uses ARG elements for that very reason and I thought that is very clever.

HAPPY 9TH BIRTHDAY TRANSMISSIONS

This falls under the same category as this from not long ago...

[AN ART PER SONG CHALLENGE - STARSET]

Song 5 - INFECTED (HORIZONS)

Featuring Amiya from Arknights.

Lighting and shading... Very hard.

[essentionesque]

This part from my "Everglow is one of the songs of all time" doodle hits so much more after learning that it was a 30-second-long-single-take scream-

[essentionesque]

I've just resorted to tagging anything Starset, MNQN, or Downplay related as their respective tags alongside a tag that's just "The Dustin Bates Cinematic Universe".

Everyone else is free to use this tag as an umbrella tag.

[essentionesque]

Everglow, amirite?

[essentionesque]

Essent, someday in the future:
