TWIN ATLANTIC – TRANSPARENCY – ALBUM REVIEW
Itâs a new year, so there is a lot of that ânew year, new meâ stuff in the air. Itâs actually awfully tempting to start this review by saying ânew year, new Twin Atlanticâ, but thatâs far from the truth. The bandâs sound has naturally evolved over their last few albums and arrives here and now with their sixth studio release, âTransparencyâ.
It certainly does feel far removed from their early material, but it isnât as giant a leap as it somehow feels from their 2020 album âPowerâ. There has been a certain flamboyance to their music ever since âGreat Divideâ elevated them into the mainstream, and yes that flamboyancy is turned up to 11 on this album.

Pre-release singles âOne Man Partyâ and âBang On The Gongâ unashamedly pointed to the direction of this album and the complete collection definitely doesnât fail to deliver on the promised lavishness.
âTransparencyâ is short and to the point which suits this statement of an album well. It wouldnât be fair to say that until now Twin Atlantic have been playing by the rules, but with this album they have certainly thrown off the shackles. The album has the feel of a band comfortably letting loose.

The results are very intriguing and will illicit reactions one way or the other. Some old school fans may not feel comfortable with the direction of âTransparencyâ, and thatâs fine, but there is plenty here for those that have followed Twin Atlanticâs recent trajectory.
There are elements of all eras of the band here, but they are all accentuated on this ambitious record to create a splendiferous symphony of lavish pop rock. So, old school fan or first time listener, sit back and let Twin Atlantic take you on a short, sharp journey of wonder!
