Grief and loss are brutal, never-ending aches that play on your mind until they’re nothing but faint memories of the person who is no longer with you.
I don’t relate to this in a death sense, but what RiTchie and Parker used this album’s message can be applied to romance, a loss of friendship, or anything to do with losing someone.
It screams and screams and screams until you finally learn to accept. The final two tracks (And I Dance, GGG) seem like the duo have learnt to ... read more
There are some real standouts here, and TØP show they still have creativity when freed from the Trench era.
Big fan of the heavier sound on songs like City Walls, and the throwbacks to songs and albums gone by were a sweet addition!
Best Song(s): City Walls, The Contract, Center Mass
Worst Song(s): Robot Voices
Reviewing the first Twenty One Pilots album before reviewing Breach because why not!

Production shines through on really cool songs like Girl Feels Good and goes outrageously hard on songs like Drums of Death.
Room of Fools is crazily underrated 💔
Best Song(s): Eusexua, Girl Feels Good, Room of Fools
Worst Song(s): Childlike Things (it’s a bit annoying sorry!)
Smooth, classy and simple.
Alchemist beats and Freddie Gibbs bars just work. They always have, and they always will.
No outstanding cohesive lyricism - bar the phenomenal Ensalada - moreso brilliant one liners as is traditional for Freddie.
A few moments to note for their brilliance, as I think Mr. Give himself would laugh at deep analysis of his albums: The production on 1995 especially after the beat flip, the entirety of Ensalada, the INSANE beat on Skinny Suge II, JID in absolute flow ... read more
