CRITIC REVIEWS
90
Whether or not they decide to revive their ongoing album mythology, Scaled and Icy will remain a quick dose of TOP perfection, a lean catalog gem that is bright, effervescent, and immensely addictive.
80
Sure, there is some inevitable fan service ... but this album sees one of the most fearless bands of their generation continue to take risks.
80
Much like their previous releases, Scaled and Icy’s stylistic switch brings a fresh breath of life for the group’s discography, both for better and for worse.

80
Some of the most awesomely direct and ebullient music Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun have yet created.
70
No matter your view, Scaled And Icy is Twenty One Pilot’s at their most fun, and while it’s not a home run, as a society it’s a time for exploration and change, and the duo have pasted the pastel colours on heavy ready for when the sunshine decides to grace us with its presence.
70
With the number of times most – though not all - of these tracks having you reaching for the replay button, memorable is definitely the word to describe the album.
60
For the uninitiated, it will seem a pleasingly buoyant, if conspicuously USP-less, soundtrack to a more universal anticipation of light at the end of a very long tunnel.
60
Scaled And Icy is a good record which balances out the occasional underwhelming moment with flashes of brilliance that could only come from its creators.
60
The band’s latest album sees them embracing a sunnier sound - but is it worth sticking around to decipher all their secret messages?
50
The hugely successful Ohio “rock” duo keep creating smooth genre-eliding sounds to soften anxious moods — like a Maroon 5 with some vulnerability beneath the pop sheen.
50
An unfocused, often forgettable, attempt to appeal to the masses with cutesy pop tunes.
40
Behind the sunny disposition, Joseph's intent to go from heart-tugging ballads to vacuous ear candy makes this whole experience sound a little tone-deaf by design. And really, no amount of myth-busting will uncover some profound truth when the music itself sounds so limiting and faceless.
35
Scaled and Icy can’t decide who it wants to appeal to, so the result is a disappointing and watered-down installment in the Twenty One Pilots’ canon.

Redecorate is massively overrated and is only in that position because it’s the only song here that even vaguely sounds like Trench

No Chances sounds like their attempt at making a song for a UFC game and it’s honestly one of the best songs here
