I have listened to some and I liked them. Solid stuff.
Trouble is music seems to affect me a bit too much vs depression so I can't atm
But as soon as that passes I will do their full catalogue :dance:

Yeah, you’ve definitely got to be in the right headspace to listen to twenty one pilots, there’s a lot of deep **** there, and I wouldn’t say Tyler’s lyricism gets ‘preachy’ as such but he has his opinions on mental health (from a lot of his own experiences with despression and suicidal thoughts) and he’s not afraid to share them.

Am already sold but that makes it even more intriguing

Definitley. Neon Gravestones from the new album is such an important song (I say song, but it’s more of a spoken word piece) and he just talks openly about celebrity suicide culture and how we as humans treat mental health in the media completely wrong. And it basically ends with him saying if he kills himself, he needs us to stop mourning and move on to help the next person who needs it. A song the world needs to hear right now.

He actually performed it in the Radio 1 Live Lounge but they never put it on air which I think tells us enough about how ignorant we can be about these issues.

Thanks for that Blurreh. I shall read the lyrics of that.

Neon Gravestones
Twenty One Pilots

What's my problem?
Well, I want you to follow me down to the bottom
Underneath the insane asylum
Keep your wits about you while you got 'em
'Cause your wits are first to go while you're problem-solving
And my problem?
We glorify those, even more, when they
My opinion
Our culture can treat a loss
Like it's a win and right before we turn on them
We give them the highest of praise, and hang their banner from a ceiling
Communicating, further engraving
An earlier grave is an optional way
No
Neon gravestones try to call
(Neon gravestones try to call)
Neon gravestones try to call for my bones (neon gravestones try to call)
Call (For my bones)
Call, call, call
(Call, call)
Call
Call (call)
What's my problem?
Don't get it twisted
It's with the people we praise who may have assisted
I could use the streams and extra conversations
I could give up, and boost up my reputation
I could go out with a bang
They would know my name
They would host and post a celebration
My opinion will not be lenient
My opinion, it's real convenient
Our words are loud, but now I'm talking action
We don't get enough love?
Well, they get a fraction
They say, "How could he go if he's got everything?"
I'll mourn for a kid, but won't cry for a king
Neon gravestones try to call
(Neon gravestones try to call)
Neon gravestones try to call for my bones (neon gravestones try to call)
Call (For my bones)
Call, call, call
Promise me this (call, call)
If I lose to myself
You won't mourn a day
And you'll move onto someone else
Promise me this
If I lose to myself
You won't mourn a day
And you'll move onto someone else
Neon gravestones try to call
(Neon gravestones try to call)
Neon gravestones try to call for my bones
Neon gravestones try to call
(Neon gravestones try to call)
Neon gravestones try to call for my bones
But they won't get them
No, they won't get them
They won't get them
But they won't get them
Don't get me wrong
The rise in awareness
Is beating a stigma that no longer scares us
But for sake of discussion
In spirit of fairness
Could we give this some room for a new point of view?
And, could it be true that some could be tempted
To use this mistake as a form of aggression?
A form of succession?
A form of a weapon?
Thinking "I'll teach them"
Well, I'm refusing the lesson
It won't resonate in our minds
I'm not disrespecting what was left behind
Just pleading that "it" does not get glorified
Maybe we swap out what it is that we hold so high
Find your grandparents or someone of age
Pay some respects for the path that they paved
To life, they were dedicated
Now, that should be celebrated

That’s the one!

now I have to listen to it :laugh:

I just remembered their BEST song

The vessel version > the microwave version

Tea. The autotune cher vocals on regional are a mess :skull:

I’m warming to the ones that benefit the actual song (like Ode to Sleep) and fit the tone but Lovely and Trees are a damn mess :skull:

They actually use the RAB Trees backing for the live shows now :skull: they’re better live because you don’t notice them, and they’ve turned joshs backing vocal right up :laugh:

I listened to Vessel before RAB so yeah it's kinda hard to get into when you have the more "polished" version of most of the songs, but agree Ode to Sleep snaps. Kitchen Sink is a good one to go back to as well.

Same. For a lot of the songs, nothing really changes I noticed.

And the unreleased tracks (Slowtown, Anathema, Ruby, Be Concerned and Clear are great too. There’s rumours of them being remastered and rereleased late 2019 as it’s the 10 year anniversary, but I’m not sure.

Tyler dissed the whole album about a month back, said ‘it’s not an album it’s a glorified mixtape’ and then basically told us to stop asking for a rerelease :laugh:

The full episode of their Storyteller Performance is out. 5 of their tracks remixed.

Ned is getting his own Funko Pop figure!

Hopefully this means the Tyler and Josh Funko Pops will be created finally, they’ve been on hiatus for so long </3

:clap1:

Twenty One Pilots ft. Halsey - Emotional Arsonist

Apparently coming soon.

Tyler’s also writing a few songs for H3.

That was ... interesting :laugh:
