Despite a really, really pretentious air to the 'feel' of Geese, this album is surprisingly approachable. A lush and fun experience with a great collection of songs that all feel new, exciting, and warm. I just can't stand the first track, something about the car bomb sucks.

twenty one pilots found their footing with their sound on this album. Tyler Joseph has always stuck out to me as an incredibly deep and profound writer, if not perhaps held back by his tendency to grab too much at the buffet, causing a musical headache in the process. There is a sharp focus on this album that has really hooked me this time around. I didn't care for their last few albums, and this feels like a real return to form from 'TRENCH'.
