Blurryface

Twenty One Pilots just came our with their new album titled Blurryface and it is damn amazing. So amazing that Tyler and Josh released it a couple days early because they couldn't wait, and before that were nearly releasing a new song from the album almost every week leading up to the release date (May 19th). I haven't been able to stop listening to it honestly! And waiting for the whole thing to be released was near torture since I could listen to a couple of the released songs but not the whole album together.

While listening to it I made some comparisons in my mind regarding some of the songs, and I may edit this post later to add more opinionated comparisons to this album, but here's some so far.

Heavydirtysoul - it's not the sound of the song, but the title that reminds me of AWOLNATION's Guilty Filthy Soul song, just cause the title is similar.

Stressed Out
Ride
Fairly Local
Tear In My Heart
Lane Boy

The Judge - the breakdown to this song, at around 2:30 in, it sounds like it could be a Gavin DeGraw song!

Doubt - absolutely starts off like a song from the Drive soundtrack! This song kind of took me by surprise actually, it is kind of pop-like, but dammit I love it.

Polarize

We Don't Believe What's on TV - something about this song reminds me of Neutral Milk Hotel, probably something about the line where he says 'we'll make money selling your hair', something about that line reminds me of that band. At around 1:45 in when there is a trumpet in the background, I think it's a trumpet, that part reminds me of the band Cake.

Message Man

Hometown - I feel like Tyler sings kind of like The Cure in this one during the chorus.

Not Today - anyone else think of the line from the A Song of Ice and Fire series (Game of Thrones) where Arya's teacher in the beginning asks her what she says to death? Love that line. Anyway..

Goner


Every single one of these songs is so good even on their own. I love this album and so happy it has been released finally!
