Transistor is the seventh studio album by the Norwegian rock band TNT. While it kept the alternative feel of Firefly, it was more successful, with the song "Just Like God" receiving some airplay at US College radio stations.

Reception

The album was met with mixed reviews amongst fans and reviewers alike. It was given max score in Oppland Arbeiderblad while bigger tabloid newspapers in Norway give it a 4 out of 6. Amongst fans, some didn't like the new experimental side of TNT, while the others enjoyed it. In retrospect, it's now considered a crucial moment in the band's history, showcasing the band's experimentation with different styles. Morty Black stated in an interview that Transistor was a natural progression from Firefly. Tony Harnell's solid vocal effort on the album is widely considered to be one of the strongest vocal performances he did for TNT.
