I'm mainly asking because both of these bands sound pretty similar to Breaking Benjamin.

Starset is interesting to me conceptually, but the execution falls flat a lot of the time (even though they definitely have some bangers). But RED is way better, IMO, because they have heavier and catchier guitar riffs, Michael Barnes is an amazing vocalist, and their music is cinematic without being self-indulgent in the way that Starset is.

Anyway, what do you guys think?

Mine is that Ember is easily their best album by a long shot. It has the heaviest riffs, the tightest drumming, interesting and creepy lyrics (especially Feed the Wolf), memorable melodies, and a very ominous and sinister vibe that's really immersive. Not to mention the badass album cover.
