We got something Wicked.... We got a Brave New World

This entire album is one hell of an emotional trip.

Transmissions: "Epic space feeling instrumental outro" Vessels: "Epic orchestra outro" Divisions: "Epic crowd people singing outro" Horizons: "Silence"

Our local radio station here in Memphis 98.1 had a request on creepy songs for Halloween and I put this on there and it was a big hit everyone was calling to ask who this was lol

I love the line "i watered down the pain till the well went dry, so pray for rain" It's like someone taking painkillers to ease the pain, but never adresses it's source.

I was praying for a brutal breakdown at the end but deafening silence is cool too

I love that the symbol for this song is not only a pentagram, but the Divisions logo flipped upside down.

This song explains what it feels like to fall into a trap where you work so hard to destroy what you hate the most only to become that very monster yourself. Right from the get-go, the album works itself up, curating feelings of joy, pride, and then into hatred, contempt and resentment for something, only to communicate to us that we've become that very thing we resent so much. Brilliant play all around, and wish they could do a live set piece of just this album. The deeper meaning is always somewhere in these Starset songs, and I love how it's infinitely interpretable.

I was fully expecting this to be a heavy song though I'm not disappointed in the slightest. This has such an eerie vibe to it and I'm digging it!

“Something wicked this way comes” perfect ending to an album warning of the impending doom that approaches. Absolute chills. Masterful end to a flawless album

I love how Starset combines elements of Christianity and Folklore/Mythology with science and sci-fi when it comes to the lyrics and themes of their albums.

This felt like a very eerie and uneasy feeling cliffhanger for the album. Makes me think the next chapter (album) will be a lot darker.

this... this is art. dustin whispering... is something I never knew I needed.

everything about this song is so goddamn perfect the symbol being a corrupted version of the divisions logo, the lyrics, the ending, the symbolism, the song itself it became my favourite of the album the moment it started playing and it won't leave my head for a while

This speaks to my depression. I never really understood Diving Bell until I got PTSD & it triggered a major depressive episode. Then, suddenly, Diving Bell was the only song in my head and I couldn't explain why until I listened to it again... crazy how things can change like the flip of a switch.

My TOTALLY favorite. I just cant believe it, it's the best way to end an album EVER.

You'll whisper, serpent tongue What you fear you have become What an eerie sound, how both Otherworldly and this one can be on same record is beyond me

I don’t know why, but this song feels like a cliffhanger more than an ending. It’s just that because of how eerie and suspenseful it is, I feel that it’s hinting towards something bigger. Nevertheless, I absolutely loved this album and anticipate that it will grow on me big time. This is why I love Starset, because half the time I can’t tell whether I’m just listening to a song or watching a movie (that among many other reasons). Anyway, listening to this album all over again is going to be a huge task, but Starset made sure it’d be worth it to do over and over again.

“OH MY GOD IS THIS WHERE THE DREAMER ENDS? DARK WHERE THE LIGHT HAD BEEN”🎻

why all final songs from starset albums are completely different from what I expected and still remains SO FUCKING GOOD????????????? EVERGLOW DIVING BELL SOMETHING WICKED THEY'RE ALL DIFFERENT FROM THE REST

The slow rhythm at the end of the album reminds me of Everglow, even the screams. An extreme album and lead up into something angelic. God starset makes me want to cry so bad. The songs don't fill me with sadness or anything, it just makes me overwhelmed and peaceful. Being filled with something i can't explain.

This is a fucking masterpiece. Dustin, please make a progressive metal album.

This is such a great ending to the album. It leaves the listener with an eerie feeling, like calm before the storm, and goes especially in theme with Devolution and Infected. To me it serves as impending doom. "Something wicked this way comes". Now honestly, I was expecting some heavy screams there at the end, but instead got something better - deafening silence. Louder than any sound, as you try to take in and assimilate this breathless journey. Absolutely amazing.

I can't stop listening to this song. The whole album is truly amazing and definitely an emotional roller-coaster, but something about this song just hits different. Like after an all out war with yourself...the darkness (depression, anxiety, ptsd, etc) was the last to rise just as you've fallen. Like winning was futile from the very beginning. The ending is so ominous and harrowing. I really feel this song on a soulful level.

STARSET has a thing for incredible album endings, and this is honestly my favorite one. The grand, epic, vengeful, and in a way creepy vibe it captures is breathtaking.

“By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.” They couldn’t have picked better quote! It really conveys the message of become your own worse enemy.

God... the atmosphere this song carries is so outstanding... these lyrics, the story of it, the symbol being an inverted (or anti-) star... and that ending... that gives me goosebumps. Great job!

Such a beautiful song to end an album just like Everglow and Diving Bell.

I didn't have the song list at hand when watching the live. So Infected stopped playing and I assumed it was over, then THIS started playing. And, my god. MY GOD. I could've died on that instant because I was so suprised, but, this track's just too good to let me die. Now it's my best memory of the release, and I absolutely adore it

You can literally read this song’s lyrics like a poem. Every song is a banger.

This song chills my spine so fucking much, it's bizarre

Out of the whole album this one gets stuck in my head the most. "out of myself i feel it crawling how can i tell if this is the ending out of myself it began evolving i am not well, repent i'm guilty how can i tell if the sky is falling how can i fix what there is no mending how can i tell if i am not well i've lost myself i have come undone"

When I was watching the stream I was like "what else?" at the end. But it was a great ending for a brutal album. It left me with an uneasy feeling because becoming what I feared the most is my biggest nightmare. You, guys, know how to move my emotions. Great album.

What a cold cry mannn. This is unexpected of you Starset. The gutturals, screams, the whisper in the outro, such massive bridges. I am in love with this one. What a beauty in the pain over here.

Starset proves once again why they are the best band and just ahead of everyone else, way ahead.

If this isn't the anthem for depression, I don't know what is. Maybe it wasn't written to signify that, but, at the end of the day, music is "personal" to an extent, and, my god, does it sum up depression perfectly. It's an amazing song regardless. The whole album is mega and this is the icing on the cake.

I'm speechless. Starset and co, you never disappoint

I've said it many times, but starset needs to make a full length movie

Did any other addict start crying listening to this? I looked up the lyrics and started crying while listening to this.

This album speaks to me as a biomedical engineering student. Which I don't think is an accident considering Dustin himself is an engineer. When you enter this field, you have dreams of changing the world, improving life quality for humanity and designing wonderful inventions. However, there is also pressures to increase profit by eliminating costs and cutting corners. Other times it's "natural" side effects. Sometimes creating new things that were intended to improve people's lives comes at the price of mental health, the environment, people's jobs, etc. And a lot of the time, these side effects are not expected and only discovered after the fact. And I think that is one of the major themes of "Something Wicked": seeking to help others but at the same time becoming horrified at the realization that you have created more problems for people that almost seem to dwarf the original problem in the name of progress. Starset tends to focus on AI, transhumanism, and social media and their psychological impacts, particularly as these are some of the newest additons to human capability and are representative of what a ton of engineers percieve to be the next big thing in engineering (such as in Icarus and Symbiotic's music videos). But it doesn't have to always be the new and shiny. I myself have a deep interest in cardiovascular medical devices because of the increasing rates of cardiovascular disease. A couple of months ago, I attended a seminar presented by an engineer working in the industry that develops surgical instruments, cardiovascular implants and wound care. The devices she discussed were very intriguing and geniunely seemed livesaving for patients and medical providers, but I couldn't help but shiver at the thought that all of these devices were single use plastics and would likely become biohazardous medical waste in our already polluted world because of the strict FDA regulations and safety requirements under the class III medical device controls. When I asked how they handle the disposing of the used devices, I was told that it was "not a priority" as much as following FDA guidelines. This doesn't even scratch the surface of the engineering ethics that Starset regularly refer to in their songs, particularly the two basic questions of "Can we do it?" and "Should we do it?".

The fact that the songs 'logo' is the Starset logo upside down could be a representation of how everything that we used to know is about to be flipped on it's head in the next album. Or it's just a cool design.

I know most people wont read this, and that is okay, I Just need to vent. I am so hyped for this album, you guys dropping this made my year and I am forever grateful. But this song, placed as the last song had spoken to me like no song ever has. I have never been able to eloquently describe my depression sickness to anyone in a way I didn't regret afterwards. But the vibe and lyrics of this song Just hits everything I want to say right. And I cant thank you enough for it, truly. If it helps, Dustin and the band, you made one guys life just that bit better with this song and album. Thank you.

This song lulled me into a false sense of peace then ran me over like a fucking freight train 11/10

What you fear you have become... *Something wicked this way comes*

Can't wait for the next album!

This one deserves millions upon millions of views. I am addicted to this one and Disappear in particular.

Most suspenseful song they've ever written. The build up, the dissonance. It's remarkable

This is the everglow of the album, only more brutal and cold.

This makes me think of a hero losing everything and then giving in and becoming the villain.

Would be great if the first song of the next album restarts from this one's ending.

Knowing Starsets songs are always full of references, the fact that the song ends with "something wicked this way comes" and thats the exact name of a ray bradbury´s novel still blows my mind.

Algún día... Algún día Starset tendrá el reconocimiento que merece :")

Last line of this song, and the first line of The Breach, are Shakespeare references 🤯

Something wicked this way comes... Bro, after I listened to the rest of the song, these words were punchy

2:37-3:10 By far my favorite part of the song. The build is amazing, the lyrics progressively get deeper and deeper. I love it.

*_Most Underrated Song_*

I've listened to this song over and over again and it always sounds like a big cliffhanger. After hearing Starset and Breaking Benjamin are doing a collab it fits perfectly. I absolutely love it.

This is not what I was expecting from this song, but it has surpassed my wildest expectations. I absolutely love the eerie, haunting vibe. Might be one of the best songs you guys have made. What a killer way to end an album full off masterpieces.

I wasn't in the mood for slow so I skipped it halfway through the first time. Now this is the 5th time in a row I started it over. Damn the man has a way with words and feeeeels update maybe 1000 times

The is amazing! It kinda has dark but elegant vibes.

Thank you so much, Starset - you’re the only thing that wakes up my soul in this dark, heavy, apathetic, loveless and soulless world. I miss home, I miss my missing piece of soul, I miss myself. I just wanna go back home. Thank you infinitely for existing, and for pouring out your souls. You have no idea what a lifeline you are. I’m so deeply sorry for whatever darkness made these mighty beautiful songs.

The best song of the album by far.

This track is the biggest curveball in the album. It's one long, beautiful build up to an explosive, but still soft ending. I couldn't imagine a more perfect finale to such a wonderful collection of music.

Sometimes, you have to become a monster yourself to kill off the monsters around you.

This was the absolute BEST and killer way to end an already masterpiece album! It's been so worth the wait

“By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.”

Man it has been so hard to choose what song is my favorite on the album and this one is one of those close songs! I just love this song so much! Can’t stop listening to the entire album! It’s been on repeat since Friday! 15 times so far! Just so good!!

Something weird about this song, it's calm yet scary and dark , I don't know how to describe the scary part but the ending may give you a sample of it

2:36 OUT OF MYSELF I CAN FEEL IT CRAWLING HOW CAN I TELL IF THIS IS THE ENDING!?

What's scary about this symbol is that its an upside down version of the Divisions Logo

This song is the reason I love Starset so fucking much, legit made me sob.

This is one of the most complete and beautiful songs i've ever heard. It gives me emotional vibes and adrenaline. Starset, you surprise me more and more

Please make a longer version of this :'(((( I want a 10 minute version. This is honestly the greatest thing I've heard this entire year

Cried listening to this as it explains how I feel dealing with my mental illness in a way I've never been able to.

Cant belive what im listening. What a masterpiece.... Souch perfection

Certainly didn't expect to cry by the album's end, and yet here I am.

Took some time to really think about this song’s lyrics. This song is terrifying…

My goosebumps got goosebumps

I was not expecting anymore screaming after Devolution, so when Dustin screamed in this song it scared me haha

Just have to say that I admire you guys

Anyone notice how the symbol on this song is the Divisions icon, only flipped upside down? I love little references like that.

So good that it left me wanting more at the end The vibe kinda reminds me of "Singularity" by Red

I was listening to this with my mom and she was like "Is he singing about humpty dumpty because he says all of the horses and all of the men wont put it back in place"

I have an extraordinary theory. What comes next for Starset very well could be _something_ *WICKED!!*

Man, this song is very similar to Dark on Me, and I love it!

This song deserves to be longer ;-;

Have to say I’m very happy with the entire new album. I do have a couple favorites though. This being one!

This is absolutely haunting, and I love it.

Nothing speaks to my current mental struggles so much other than this song

Next Album Name Prediction: Revolutions

IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE WE'VE HEARD DUSTIN'S SCREAM THAT I ALMOST CRIED

this was a YEAR ago! WOW! I remember when this came out like it was yesterday.

I Know I'm not the first to say this, but HOLY COW! This song apart from everglow has to be the best closer to an album.

ITS TOO GOOOOD NO ONE ELSE CAN DO THIS BUT STARSET

3:06 is so damn good to listen too

This is just a masterpiece of a song. Easily #1 on the album for me.

This is my favourite band and they make the best music ever in the WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's almost been three months since this released. And for the longest time I didn't know if I liked this one or not. But now I'm convinced that this song incredible.

I'm so broken and this song speaks to me

This is totally amazing, the vibes in the voice and that kind of sound in the piano reminds me Trent in a certain way, it's by now personally one of best piece of work done by Starset
