Default twenty | one | pilots

They are quickly becoming my favorite band ever. Tyler Joseph is an amazing songwriter. Every song he writes is gold in terms of mood, lyrics, and eclectic style. Not a fan of preaching, but Tyler's lyrics manage to walk right on the perfect edge between overdoing it and leaving it up for interpretation. The introspection in his lyrics is, frankly, beautiful to me. I listen to some of his cynically optimistic lyrics and it just brightens my mood. The guy just writes such relatable stuff and IMHO that's one of the greatest thing a songwriter/musician/artist can do: make connections with others.

I love all their albums. This will probably quickly change, but I think Regional at Best >>> Vessel >>> Twenty One Pilots.

They're also so electric live. Saw them live opening for AWOLNATION and they blew me away despite me not knowing all their songs at the time, which is usually a requirement for 99.9% enjoyment of a concert although this was a festival setting.

So many favorites, but here are some of their lesser known favs of mine:






I'm was sooo happy when I heard "Holding On to You" on the hits station- I practically squealed. One of the few bands I 100% hope they go mainstream so the world can hear their amazing music as with Tyler's writing I totally have faith they'll keep it up no matter who's listening.

Lastly, the meaning of their name is fantastic food for thought (look it up on their website bio if you want). Overall, they're just one of those bands that are just on the edge of perfection who should never change being how brilliant they are.

ah, theyre so awesome. none of my friends listen to them, not sure why since they're amazing. they're actually playing very close to where I live, so there's a good chance I can see them live in November

their lyrics are my favorite aspect of their music, Holding Onto You and Fall Away in particular

And I haven't been able to stop listening to Fake You Out for days!

Not very catchy that one. I like a couple of their songs but not sure if they're the type of band to hold your interest for an entire album (they didn't for their previous one).

I couldn't stand these guys the past few years, their lyrics always seemed juvenile and their songs ran the gamut of pop cliches. But apparently their new album is getting good reviews from sources that I respect (allmusic, the needle drop, etc.). Anyone heard?

It's best to ignore the youtube critics.

Needle Drop has better music sensibilities than most people on this forum.
