Continuing the general themes of their debut and sophomore, he contemplates self-consciousness, suicide, and loneliness. Now of course, a twenty one pilots analyzation wouldn’t be complete without taking at least a notice towards Tyler Joseph’s provoking lyrics. When jumbled amidst the “OG” tracks from the prior release, Vessels truly shows a good mix of new and old while maintaining a crisp tone. On the other hand, “Fake You Out” and “Migraine” express the previously showcased upbeat side of the band, with bouncing melodies, driving beats, and a concoction of vocals and rapping. “Screen” and “Truce” show a quote-unquote “slower” side of the band, the former mixing in the ukulele and piano talents of Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun’s talent of beating things with sticks, the latter granting a chill, piano ballad from Tyler. Rather than feeling like a simple remaster, many of the tracks found here on sound like a rejuvenation of the band’s previously recorded, yielding an almost entirely different experience to what you may have already heard before.Īs for the original tracks, twenty one pilots continues the trend of showing their immense creativity found at their disposal, conducting songs of sheer emotion and talent. With heightened production, the ever-changing synths of “Ode to Sleep” and “Car Radio” provide a much deeper, powerful performance, while the increasing talent of Josh Dun gifts us a tighter composition of grooves and flow in “Holding On to You” and “Guns for Hands”. From the opening moody atmosphere of “Ode to Sleep” to the final, ringing piano notes of the ballad “Truce,” Vessels captures all of the emotion the band has to offer.Īlthough many songs found on Regional at Best make an appearance here (more than half the record actually), it is almost like a resurrection of the songs, yet into a better version rather than deteriorated. twenty one pilots utilizes this to their advantage, creating songs which keep the listener captivated from beginning to end. This enhancement allows the band to take hold of some techniques that provide a new, refreshing sound to the band, with clear cut melodies, unmuddied by grainy synths, as well as improved drumming, especially regarding the recording.

With a clear improvement of production overall, each song sounds fluid and smooth when compared to their past releases. Vessels, in many ways, shows a band of increased maturity, talent, and songwriting. With an exponentially growing fan base and popularity, twenty one pilots began to gain momentum, and what an album to receive such acclaim! Finally finding their sound, twenty one pilots’ continue down the road of electronically driven songs, scattered with progressing bass lines, melodic vocals, flowing raps, and rhythmic drum beats. Singles “Car Radio” and “Holding On to You” grew in airplay, and soon enough, the clique itself grew. Sure, twenty one pilots and Regional at Best were quite amazing, underrated albums, but this is where they began to rack in the popularity. This is the twenty one pilots you all may know, love it or hate it. since we will ask you to be involved at these shows, we will work to gain your respect and trust for the first half of the set the second half is governed by the whole room.Review Summary: Lean with it, Rock with it we are not good enough at our instruments to stand up there and have you watch. Recording songs at our house and giving everything we have at shows. since joy is found in belief, we all have to push through unhappiness to find joy. don't let the fear of unhappiness cripple your pursuit of finding what it is you believe. we all stop thinking and we all stop talking and we all stop sharing and we all stop creating, because by doing any of these things we quickly find out just how unhappy we are. We are all responsible for the preservation of our personal joy but happiness is different.
