"Transmatic is a new band, most people have never heard of them. i would say they are the most under-rated band i know of. They are one of the greatest bands around though. When i first got this CD, it was the advanced copy about 2 months ago.I knew nothing about this band or what they sounded like. but i listened to the entire cd, w/out skipping one track. every song is great. they have a sound like Eve 6 or American Hi-fi but with better vocals and louder guitars. They are maybe closer to the sound of Nickelback. The first single "Come" has been getting some radio airplay, but not much. You may have seen the video (if you go to college) and it should be on MTV by now. The whole album, every song, is really good. They have written some excellent songs. If you, like me, are sick of all the poppy BS on the radio and MTV these days, Transmatic is just what you're looking for.
My favorite tracks are "Go my way" "Impossible" "Welcome to the Life" and "Come."So go pick up Transmatic and you will enjoy it a lot."

STRAIGHT FORWARD ROCK MUSIC!!

"Transmatic is a great straight forward rock band! They sound like a mix of Matchbox 20, Goo Goo Dolls, and Aerosmith. If you like non-stop rock, not too hard, but straight ahead, with a couple ballads, and enjoy the bands mentioned earlier, you will like Transmatic. The stand out tracks are their first single "Blindspot", a great modern rock song, with a twist of alternative sound to it. "Come", which will definitly be the next single, because it has all the right ingredients of a hit-song, and sounds alot like Aerosmith, and I'm sure if they came out with this exact song, it would be a smash-hit single for them. My personal favorite is track-9, "Welcome to the life", also sounds like it could hit, but the radio stations will have to bleep the F-word in the chorus. Track-5, "face to face"& 8-"the problem" also sound like hit songs! Then you have two very nice rock ballads with tracks 6 & 7 "impossible", and "need to know". This record rocks, and reminds me of Matchbox 20's debut record. It has that rock all-the-way-through theme to it. I would highly recomend this record to anyone who likes rock music! Not metal, alternative, or anything else except good straight forward, timeless rock music. If this description fits your genre of music, you should buy this record for sure!"

Unoriginal?

"It's odd that the person who complains that this is "bland" and "unoriginal" saw them at a Michelle Branch concert!?!? Talk about bland .... Anyway, the music isn't anything earthshaking or innovative - as if anything on the radio these days is - but, it's 11 well written catchy songs. I can't tell some bands apart anymore - it all sounds the same! (Bizkit, Korn.... Nickelback/Disturbed/etc) It would be a nice change to hear this on the radio. And if it helps to kill the boy bands as well, it can't be bad!Favorites: "come", "Blind Spot", "Impossible", "Face to face"...FYI- they say "[the f word" a few times, that's why it has an advisory. Hardly Marilyn Manson...."
