Complimented by one of the most well-executed and cinematic music videos I've ever laid eyes on, "Breach" is a bittersweet goodbye that puts a bow on a decade-long story set up over the course of several albums.
It was clear from Tyler Joseph's warning during the Livestream debut of "Clancy" that the story wasn't finished And so now, we have the official ending to the DEMA story.

The lead singles to "CO.War.Dice." had my hype through the roof. The absolute manic energy and insane vocals of "A Kiss From A Mother," the extremely fun dance-punk energy of "Cut Back" and "Running With The Sun In Your Eyes," and the moshpit-ready "You Want The Truth." All of these singles showed a genuine improvement in songwriting and entertainment value from their last LP, which was many years ago at this point.
