I know most album threads are made before the release date but I thought it was more appropriate to make this just after it's release since I don't think many people really listen to Twenty One Pilots on here but I'm hoping this new album will get some more Twenty One Pilots fans on BuzzJack, In my opinion Blurryface is their best to date, if this is the first time you've heard of this duo then please go listen to their album, it really is flawless and each song is so different, there is something for everyone



1. Heavydirtysoul
2. Stressed Out
3. Ride
4. Fairly Local
5. Tear in My Heart
6. Lane Boy
7. The Judge
8. Doubt
9. Polarize
10. We Don't Believe What's on TV
11. Message Man
12. Hometown
13. Not Today
14. Goner

As the official release date isn't until the 19th of May the audio for each track hasn't been released yet but they released the album two days earlier in a few places...

iTunes:http://www.smarturl.it/blurryface
Google Play: http://www.smarturl.it/blurryface-gp
Amazon:http://www.smarturl.it/blurryface-az
Spotify: http://www.smarturl.it/TOP-Spotify
Webstore: http://www.smarturl.it/top_store

There's also some videos that have been released as well and an audio for Lane Boy

Some of what I've heard from Vessel is rather good, particularly 'Trees' and 'Car Radio' so I've taken a listen to some of these, and I really like 'Tear in My Heart', that starts out very normally then works its way up to being very amazing, I do like how quirky they're willing to be.

Posted by: Lindsey ♌ 29th May 2015, 04:54 PM

I think Polarize is my favourite at the moment.

Blurryface has debuted at number one on the billboard top 200 albums chart

Gonna give this a bump now that "Stressed Out" has reached top 10 on Billboard.

Also, LANE BOY

Posted by: mdh 8th January 2016, 09:56 PM

This is genuinely one of the best albums in a long time (not biased or anything )


But really, the amount of different sounds on the album (for example comparing Stressed Out to Fairly Local and The Judge you get completely different vibes and sounds which is amazing)

It's great that they don't have a specific sound, they can delve into different genres but still be recognizable as twenty one pilots. There's not many bands these days that have that talent.

I still think Vessel is the better album.

Posted by: Liаm 8th January 2016, 10:43 PM

Stressed Out is amazing, I'll have to check out more

Posted by: ░░░░ 9th January 2016, 07:02 AM

don't they have a song top 10 on us tunez

Posted by: Tombo 9th January 2016, 07:24 AM

Their music is so good, I've been listening to them for a while.

Posted by: mdh 9th January 2016, 08:08 AM

Stressed Out.

Posted by: ℒ𝓲𝓷⻤ 9th January 2016, 04:50 PM

Car Radio was the first song I heard from them and have been a fan for a couple of years, I think Car Radio is still my favourite song from them, Holding Onto You a close second, I think Vessel and Blurryfacre are on par with each other overall tbh

Posted by: Iz~ 9th January 2016, 09:06 PM

So seeing as they seem to be gaining some pretty wonderful traction I've decided to turn my occasional song loving (of the likes of Car Radio, Trees, Tear In My Heart and now Stressed Out <3) into a full album listen of both 'Vessel' and 'Blurryface'. See, I hadn't ever listened to an album even though I'd decided that I loved every song I'd heard from them so far, I need to stop doing that.

I think, for my money, Vessel is the slightly stronger album, but they're both pretty incredible all the way through. I'm just awestruck by the creativity that goes into each song to make it sound different from the last and still a very enjoyable listen. All that mix of slightly different genres is pretty genius too. Holding Onto You, Semi-Automatic, Fairly Local (well I'd clearly heard that before as per my first post in this thread but only now has it stuck) and The Judge are probably my new highlights. Some lovely albums.

count me in

Posted by: ℒ𝓲𝓷⻤ 10th January 2016, 11:05 PM

I don't really wanna make a separate thread for this since I don't think there's that many people on buzzjack (yet ) that would do it, but if you guys wanna follow Cody's lead and rate each of the tracks, I will count them up at some point when we have some more and post results in here too if you want, just to get some discussion going?

Feel free to do it for Vessel also since the past few posts have been comparing the two

Posted by: Cody Slayberry 14th January 2016, 06:18 AM

"Ride" is getting pushed to US Alternative radio stations now: http://www.allaccess.com/alternative/future-releases

Posted by: ℒ𝓲𝓷⻤ 14th January 2016, 03:02 PM

Omg yay This album needs soooo much more attention tbh

Posted by: Jonjo 20th January 2016, 09:04 PM

I listened to 'Stressed Out' the other day, I was impressed. So I checked out the album... Really, very good! I think 'Not Today' is my favourite, but there are a fair amount of good songs on here.

I've heard some previous stuff before, only briefly, but I think I liked what I heard (can't remember) so I will now be checking out their older albums.

Posted by: Oliver 26th January 2016, 12:10 AM

I've only just noticed that Stressed Out is at #79 on iTunes! Hopefully it'll rise more.

Posted by: Iz~ 29th January 2016, 10:06 PM

tbh I feel I finally know this album enough to do this

08.5 Heavydirtysoul
10.0 Stressed Out
10.0 Ride
09.0 Fairly Local
09.0 Tear in My Heart
10.0 Lane Boy (maybe this gets the 11, maybe Ride does, I'm not sure how to choose right now)
10.0 The Judge
08.5 Doubt
09.0 Polarize
09.0 We Don't Believe What's on TV
08.0 Message Man
08.5 Hometown
08.5 Not Today
09.5 Goner

I'm not even nice for the sake of being nice, this album is EXEMPLARY. I think if I did Vessel, not going to right now but maybe in the future, it'd be all 9+ honestly, consider me fully converted.

I'm sure a fair few would be for an album rate, especially in a month or two when Stressed Out has got more popular and subsequently they're got more popular with Buzzjack members I've seen a lot of personal charts with Stressed Out in etc, so a couple of people from that forum might float over here

Posted by: ♡ Heezus Froot ♡ 30th January 2016, 05:16 PM

Stressed Out is one of my favourite 2015 songs. I've heard the album a couple of times and nothing else stood out, unfortunately. I might give it another try.

Posted by: ___∆___ 26th August 2016, 11:52 PM

So obsessed with this album and have not bored of it yet

£1.99 on Google Play this week for those that haven't checked it out yet so hopefully it'll get a huge sales boost.

Posted by: Lindsey ♌ 27th August 2016, 12:12 AM

This album really is an essential for everyone's music libraries tbh, so flawless *.*

Posted by: Jonjo 27th August 2016, 12:21 AM

My mates are at Reading this weekend and this is what he texted me tonight...

"WE ARE GOING TO SEE TWENTY ONE PILOTS WHEN THEY TOUR OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!!!"

(Then he made a little joke) "They're so average"

to which I replies "PLEASE CAN WEEE!!!??? *crying emoji*"

"YES YES YES! I recorded stressed out but you can't even hear them sing I don't think haha I have so much to tell you"

I am REALLY, REALLY envious of everyone who's seen/going to see them this weekend/whenever.

Posted by: Liаm 27th August 2016, 12:34 AM

I already loved this album but it's one of those that just grows and grows and grows, there's so many angles and so many emotions, all of it is such a relatable struggle. I think Goner has to be my favourite, especially the juxtaposition of the fragile start and then the chaos and shouting towards the end, it's just so effective as the death of Blurryface and the demons that haunted the run up to that moment

Posted by: ___∆___ 27th August 2016, 01:19 AM

Heard so many amazing things about their shows - I'm not seeing them until 2017 in Bridgeport and then Brooklyn but should be worth the wait!

Posted by: Lindsey ♌ 27th August 2016, 02:08 AM

They're the one band i want to see most, I almost went in February but I had something on the date they were In Glasgow, they seem to tour a lot though so I'm hoping they're back soon

Posted by: mdh 27th August 2016, 08:21 AM

Not sure if anyone's heard of anything that happened last night though, when Tyler was croudsurfing some 'fans' dropped him and they were pulling his shirt and shoes off (hence the rip in his vest at the end of the set )

Marred what seemed to be a brilliant set.

And yep Lindsey, I nearly went when they came to the O2 academy but was too shy to ask the person I wanted to come to come with me, turns out they were also in the same boat and too shy to ask me :,)

Posted by: Oliver 27th August 2016, 08:24 AM

This is growing in my affections but "Vessel" is still the better album for me.

Posted by: Tyler 27th August 2016, 09:51 AM

Ditto. (Idk how I've missed this thread omg)

Both albums are my favorite albums of the year they came out. Same for their self titled!
01. Vessel
02. Blurryface
03. Twenty One Pilots

10.0 Heavydirtysoul
09.5 Stressed Out
10.0 Ride
09.0 Fairly Local

10.0 Polarize
10.0 We Don't Believe What's on TV
11.0 Message Man
09.0 Hometown
10.0 Not Today
07.5 Goner

They are the only act I've ever rated this high outside of Britney. 'Vessel' doesn't have a song under 9/10 for me.

Posted by: Tyler 27th August 2016, 09:54 AM

Also! I'm seeing them again on September 17th!

Posted by: ___∆___ 1st September 2016, 04:05 AM

#6 in the mids - Hppefully it'll get a few more sales from the current £1.99 Google Play deal and it'll make the Top 5 on Friday

'Ride' is climbing on Spotify (#33) & iTunes (#60) too - Wonder if radio will pick up on this after the success of 'Heathens' as its a much more radio friendly/mainstream track.

Officially a top 5 album over here in the UK!

WHAT A WEEK. Both Britney and TOP in the top 5 albums <3

Posted by: ___∆___ 5th September 2016, 01:38 AM

So deserving of a new peak - Glad people are discovering 'Vessel' too which went Top 40 in the UK for the first time.

Posted by: Jonjo 14th September 2016, 10:55 PM

Not from this album (obvs), but they've covered My Chemical Romance's song, 'Cancer' for the 'Rock Sound Presents: The Black Parade' album!

It's gorgeous. Tyler's voice is seriously brilliant. Possibly my favourite male voice since Brandon Flowers.

Posted by: Lindsey⚙ 15th September 2016, 07:06 AM

tbh I prefer that cover to the original, Tyler's voice is just so perfect for it I almost forgot it wasn't actually written for him

SO GOOD

Posted by: mdh 15th September 2016, 07:26 AM

I'm not feeling it The first song of theirs I've ever disliked

Posted by: Jonjo 15th September 2016, 09:23 AM

Up to #56 in the UK and #3 (!!!) In the US!

Their success in the US amazes me!

Posted by: ___∆___ 16th September 2016, 08:40 AM

#37 Was not expecting it to do much/anything tbh!

Posted by: ___∆___ 23rd September 2016, 05:09 PM

'Cancer' is a new entry at #93, was expecting it to fall short of the Top 100 tbh. They now have 4 songs in the Top 100 - Heathens #9, Ride #53 (15 weeks Top 75 despite not chatting higher than #47), Stressed Out #66 and Cancer #93.

On the albums Blurryface is back in the Top 10 at #8 and Vessel is at #43 #Slay

Posted by: Jacob Alan 23rd September 2016, 06:20 PM

Actually agree. I love MCR, especially The Black Parade (I'll defend songs like "Welcome To The Black Parade", "Teenagers", "Famous Last Words", "I Don't Love You" to the death) but this version is so much more dreamy, sombre and sincere and conveys the meaning of the words perfectly.

Although I like it the original is so raw and intense and it can almost be overwhelming for a relatively simple song which seems to work much better with a smoother delivery.

Posted by: Jonjo 28th September 2016, 11:06 PM

TOP + SNL = 8th OCTOBER!

I AM READY!

Posted by: Cody Hough 29th September 2016, 12:09 AM

I'm curious to see if they'll push anything else from this album once "Heathens" has officially peaked.

Posted by: LINDSΞY 29th September 2016, 11:47 AM

Maybe they'll perform Cancer

Posted by: Jonjo 3rd October 2016, 02:00 PM

It seems like they're giving 'Lane Boy' another(?) push here in the UK! Very good choice, imo. Hopefully it can be about as successful as 'Ride' was.

Posted by: Cody Hough 3rd October 2016, 03:44 PM

PLEASE.

Posted by: LINDSΞY 3rd October 2016, 03:53 PM

YASSSSS Lane Boy is such a fave

Posted by: mdh 3rd October 2016, 04:08 PM

I'm happy for Lane Boy getting a push, HOWEVER I hope that's it for the Blurryface era after that because I really don't want the rest of my faves to go mainstream (yes I am one of THOSE fans ) I really hope it can do something, though, although I'm not expect it to do half as well as Stressed Out and Heathens have done.

Posted by: LINDSΞY 9th October 2016, 10:02 AM

Posted by: ___∆___ 9th October 2016, 09:24 PM

This will be huge! Really wish they had given 'Ride' a proper push though - it was just waiting to be huge and is currently in its 17th week in the Top 75.

Posted by: 24k Cody 10th October 2016, 04:05 PM

I do see a reissue of Blurryface but with the additions of "Heathens", "Cancer" and possibly the "Can't Help Falling In Love" cover, but they're on tour right now so a new album is probably out of the picture until at least this time next year.

Posted by: ʟɪɴᴅsᴇ 1st November 2016, 09:25 PM

Posted by: CodySleighBell-y 8th December 2016, 03:34 AM

"HeavyDirtySoul" being pushed as the next US single and it goes for Alternative adds next week!



I really wish they can push "Lane Boy" into the US soon but this is also an amazing single choice!

Posted by: Jonjo 14th December 2016, 07:43 PM

'HeavyDirtySoul' would be great to rinse the album dry of sales! They may as well, especially if they're waiting to finish the next album!

Posted by: christmdhas 14th December 2016, 11:19 PM

Lane Boy didn't really do much, did it? Heavydirtysoul could do SOMETHING, I suppose, but the pessimist in me says that Blurryface is dead in terms of potential hits. Not Today would be a good choice tho.

Posted by: christmdhas 20th December 2016, 03:37 PM

Definitely worth a watch!

Posted by: CodySleighBell-y 21st December 2016, 07:50 AM

For some reason I thought MUTEMATH were a metal band and I was kinda confused but go them

The following EP is already at #4 on iTunes US

Posted by: Sonar 22nd December 2016, 08:33 PM

Good show. Note: all these live versions are available for free download.

Posted by: ___∆___ 29th December 2016, 12:12 PM

Love the TOPxMM mini album even though it seems to have passed unnoticed in the UK. Good to see the boosts that their singles and albums have got post Christmas too on iTunes - Can't wait to see what's next from them, definitely my #1 act of 2016.
