So, finally I’m able to write a review of a new album from my all-time favorite band, Twenty One Pilots. The album is out since almost 3 days ago and I’ve listened to it right after the clock turned out to friday but still didn’t add a score nor write a review. Why? Because I was sad. I love the album from the first minute I listened to it but it didn’t clicked. I was like okay, maybe with the second listen, but no. Still the same. Okay, maybe it will be the third listen, but no. I was dissapointed, as I went forward in time, I became more hopeless. I had not too much time back these days so I was late with watching the music videos but today I did. It clicked. Woow. We are back. We arrived. It not just clicked. I cried. I’m so happy that I feel the Twenty One Pilots vibe again. I love Tyler and Josh, these 2 save lives, they are so human, they make you feel that we are all the same with different lifes, we struggle with the same problems, same thoughts, just projected onto our own life. Maybe as you listen to this album and you focus on the musical things, there are flaws, that’s cannot be disputed. But the flow, it guide you through 2 human soul and it slowly start to collide with you, build themselves into your veins and then it doesn’t let you go, and you don’t want to.
To be honest, to start with Overcompensate is a genius choice, very great intro, it’s for fans, it invites you back to Trench, but it’s not the same again. It’s nothing like Trench. It’s a Next Semester.
The second song make me feel like, okay things happen, there’s always an oppurtinity to start it again, to step forward, leave things behind but you can build from those lessons, and Backslide just verify that, we don’t want to go back to these problems, no need to feel the pain again because we “Accidentally uncovered a new one yesterday”, and that’s okay, life sometimes hard , we can’t “brush our problems under the rug”.
Midwest Indigo maybe got me too much. These song for me is about the things that we want to happen, but it doesn’t. We “concentrate on the little gap in the ice”, doesn’t matter how it change us, how it’s “make me second guess myself” we hold on these things. Until there is just one little gap in the ice we can touch the water, things are not over.
These things what make me do the same “Routines In The Night”. They keep my brain up at night. Running the same circles, what I did wrong, and you plan your next day. Vignette is pure Vessel and Self-titled vibe, I love the energetic drum and synth combo, euphoric. This song is give me the feel when you looking for things that make you happy, guessing where you want to go from here, where the grass is green. The inconfidence what we feel at a point in our life, is everyhting goes well in my life? Am I in the right path?
The Craving is such a surprise for me. The single version really did nothing to me, maybe after 1-2 listening it clicked a bit but it was boring for me. The Jenna’s version is the very opposite of this. It’s more rare and more heart wrenching. Do you know the uncertainty when you want to to do everything’s right and want to give everything for the one you love, all of your passion, all of your love, safe, and you don’t know if it’s enough? Are they feel it, are you doing it well? Everything you want to say is in your head but the words don’t come easy? (Pun intended) so you live in a fear that you are not enough.
Okay at this pont everyone mentioned it yet but if someone just show me Lavish without telling me it’s a Twenty One Pilots song, I would think it’s a less psychedelic Tame Impala melody. But it’s not. I don’t know why many of you hating on this but it’s such a fun song with a great message. It’s from Tyler personal experience with the music industry but projecting to my causal life I can identify with it as I have the same problem sometime, be enough in your enviroment, showing your best side all the time.
The next 3 song elaborates the topic of standing up from the mistakes you made in the past, learn from these and focus on your present.
Navigating is the most accurate song I’ve heard nowadays. The continous excuses because you do mistakes, and you clearly know that and trying to do the things right, trying to navigate in your head but all you feel is the confuse and you have to comply to everyone.
Snap back and Oldies Station are talking about the fear where your life is going, how your experiences of the past make an effect on you. But you need to let these things behind. “Push on through.”
At The Risk Of Feeling Dumb have the hardest drop on the album. Very great production, I love how they mixed the insane rock sounding with an important message that says always check on your loved ones because they might struggling with something you can’t imagine. Asking, listening, talking about that. These are the most important things in a friendship, in family. Care about each other, not just only mind your own business. It doesn’t worth the risk of losing someone you love just because you thought they are okay. One question can save lifes. How are you? Are you doing good?
The epic end. Paladin Starit. Oh, this song. Now it’s in my top favorite of all time. Until that I tried to explain what this songs about for me. But now there’s no need to do that. Even if you don’t understand the lyrics. You just feel it deep down that this something huge. That’s where the TOP magic is hiding, or now it’s completely in front of you. They did it again. Gave us something what some other artists can’t. Human things. We all come from the same place. Maybe our directions are different but at the end, we are all the same. Human beings, with feelings, with mistakes, sad and happy moments, highs and lows. But don’t forget. You are not alone with your demons. This album is the prove. I’m glad you are here today and I want you to be here in the future.
That’s what this album means to me.
