Unfortunately, just about everyone on their shortlist is dead-except for the two surviving members of washed-up glam rock band Decibel Jones and the Absolute Zeros. Now it’s Earth’s turn to prove its sentience, with a band personally selected by the galactic alliance known as the Great Octave. Only if a species was judged capable of baring its inner soul musically-that is, if a jury ranked it second-to-last or higher in the Megalactic Grand Prix-would it be permitted to continue existing. This nearly literal title about an intergalactic battle of the bands is perhaps operatic in scope (in a comic vein, at least) but is more rock than opera.Īfter a devastating interstellar war in which various alien species fought for the right to be considered sentient by all the other species, peace was declared, and everyone agreed on the best way to determine sentience: a song contest.
