twenty one pilots is taking the ‘concept album’ concept to a whole different level

and holy shit i’m living for it. we’re all here praising Gerard Way and My Chemical Romance but i have the feeling that “Trenches” is gonna be even better.

and since i’m comparing- well, i don’t mean to, both bands are amazing and MCR doesn’t even exists anymore, but i can’t help to, either. 

lemme explain: to me, “Blurryface” was twenty one pilots’ “The Black Parade”. Tyler had a character while Josh didn’t but it was still a concept album. it was kinda more personal to TyJo, like TBP was to Gerard.

and now “Trench” feels like “Danger Days...”. Every member has a character now. i think Josh is Nico and Tyler is Clancy (i’m probably wrong. just guessing). and the story has much more depth to it. much more like DD was.

all that said. i think “Trench” might be the greatest concept album in history.... of alternative music... at least. the backstory of it. everything. i mean: they’ve been fucking around with the clique, sending cryptic messages and shit for THREE MONTHS prior to release the FIRST SINGLE.

and now that i mention the clique: big shout out to all the clique members who were smart enough to unlock all the mysteries: i’ve been following this whole dma.org thing since the beginning and now listening to the new songs and hearing so many familiar words and phrases in the songs feels surreal. even down to the name of the fucking album. Nico and the Niners, “east is up”, Clancy, the whole DEMA deal. everything.

fucking Tyler Joseph, he’s a goddamn genius. i love how the “Jumpsuit” video connects with “heavydirtysoul” and the “Blurryface” concept. it’s like they’re saying goodbye to the old era to fully focus and dive into this new era.

the yellow era.

i don’t think it’s coincidential that they chose the colour yellow, more after the release of “Jumpsuit” that’s pretty much a big “fuck you” to Blurryface (as a character). i mean, it’s no coincidence since yellow is the colour many mental health campains have used lately.

i don’t know. i’m just incredibly excited for this new era! can’t wait to hear the rest of the album because so far... it’s sounding pretty amazing.
