    Genre-blending and introspective lyricism can be found from start to finish on twenty one pilots' fourth LP. The concept of Blurryface helps create a cohesion to what could have been a genre hopping disaster. Instead, listeners are treated to one of the most well put together albums of 2015.

    Blurryface is a very complex album, or it is meaningless. That is the problem with artists who write hard-to-understand lyrics; it's either deep or just plain crazy/meaningless. Vessel was about suicide, insecurity, and depression, and these themes made it what it was: an amazing album. I believe that BF's lyrics do have a meaning, but have to be studied to understand.

On another note, is the music any good? Let's say it this way; it's very original. It's hard to describe the music besides saying that it pretty dark, which is obvious. The music is original and really stands out, and that makes it good. "Ride" has really great music, and the dark ending is the icing on the cake. "Tear in my Heart" is a musical treat - it's really good fun. "Goner" is good musically, with piano, but gets old over time due to the slow speed and slow-building music. A few songs get old - "Doubt", and "Fairly Local" are the biggest offenders. Not every song is great, but every song is pretty special and memorable.… Expand

    A good mix between mainstream sounding song writing and very individualistic and sometimes avante garde song writing. The lyricism here is as good as ever, albeit the occasional pandering to a more mainstream audience, Twenty One Pilots still manages to pull of a solid record whilst becoming more accessible.

    Esse CD que me mostrou o Twenty One Pilots. Eu me vi apaixonado pela melhor banda bem de repente! É incrível o jeito como misturam o rap com rock, com eletrônico. E o melhor é que eles não precisam de um batalhão para escrever seus hinos. O modo como o Tyler canta me faz sentir todos os sentimentos possíveis! Eu adorei!!!

    A solid pop-record, but can't go in any comparision with Vessel and Twenty One Pilots. Playing in different genres while not mastering any of them is a good idea while you're an indie-band and a terrible idea, when you're nominated for a Grammy. Reggae vibes of Ride and almost RnB patterns of Lane Boy and Heavydirtysoul just don't fit together

    This is definitely the most diverse album yet from Twenty One Pilots. It's very hard to put these guys into just one genre, but if I had to it'd be pop. They have catchy hooks, and pretty good production.

    Coming from a huge fan of Vessel, this album is, at best... Very disappointing.
    Starting with Heavydirtysoul, you can tell they were kind of going for the same sound of the opener on Vessel, Ode to Sleep. With both of these songs there is a very poppy, catchy chorus with a darker, heavier sounding transition during the verses. However, Heavydirtysoul combines a Prodigy-esque verse with a    Coming from a huge fan of Vessel, this album is, at best... Very disappointing.
    Starting with Heavydirtysoul, you can tell they were kind of going for the same sound of the opener on Vessel, Ode to Sleep. With both of these songs there is a very poppy, catchy chorus with a darker, heavier sounding transition during the verses. However, Heavydirtysoul combines a Prodigy-esque verse with a nonsensical, repetitive chorus that quickly wears on the nerves.
    It goes through the motions a few times before opening into the first single from the album, Stressed Out, which is by far one of the best songs on the album, and my second favorite. At first when I heard this song I didn't like it either, but this song shows some of their strongest songwriting on the album, and is very reminiscent of the material on Vessel.
    Ride is a reggae/dub song that isn't too bad, although the processed vocals on this track just detract from the atmosphere of the track. The singer sounds like he's crooning through a speaker with slight water damage for most of the song, hold the chorus and a bridge toward the end, with another very annoying repeating lyrical cadence. There seems to be a trend on the album where the singer uses as few words possible during choruses, and stretches words out with strange pronunciation and eccentric vocal choices. This heavily detracts from the overall semi-serious tones they're going for with the themes on this album.
    Fairly Local opens up with what sounds like a small town local bragging about it like it gives them street cred, followed by a very annoying "ooh-ooh-ooh" cadence and short bursts of lyrics from the singer, leading to a very disorienting listen, and one that doesn't have much traction.
    Tear In My Heart is another song on the album that I don't mind too much, but it is again, at most, decent. While I did like the pop sensibilities on Vessel, they were sprinkled throughout with moderation and taste for the overall product, and songs like Tear In My Heart go to show that they're going for a more straightforward approach with their influences, which can be good, but just isn't here. And even this song slows down quite considerably after the first minute, trading witty lyrics and clear vocals for intertwined, short bursts of words and repetition again.
    Lane Boy is another reggae/dub ode over some terribly processed vocals from the singer. This has the most interesting beat on the album I think, but the rather bland bass line and, again, the vocal processing, just don't allow me to enjoy it as much as I want to.
    The Judge is very surprising on first listen, just because it's so drastically different from everything else on the album, but in a good way. It opens in a way that may remind you of House of Gold, but quickly opens into a very catchy chorus, followed by some of my favorite verses that the singer raps on this album. It switches from sounding slightly menacing to very upbeat and happy between the verse and chorus, but achieves this more successfully than any other song on the album, and some of the lines he raps in this song will definitely remind you of Vessel, although this song doesn't seem like it belongs on Vessel (which is a good thing, again.) Definitely my favorite on the album.
    Doubt opens up to a pretty promising beat, but quickly becomes a repetitive mess. Not too much to say here.
    Polarize is, well, a pretty polarizing listen. Not sure if it's intentional or not but it's pretty difficult to follow. However this is one of the better songs on the album.
    We Don't Believe What's on TV opens with a ukulele riff that is very reminiscent of House of Gold before launching into a very upbeat song backed by a country-esque drum beat in the back. This song is great, and has some of my favorite lyrics on the album. Probably my second favorite.
    Message man opens up decently, but as soon as the vocals come in I can't listen anymore. It gets even worse during the chorus when they slow down the tempo and put in reggae guitar and slow raps, before getting back into the intro (which I guess is the chorus, too). Decent, but really not great.
    Hometown isn't horrible but isn't good. There isn't much to say here, besides that it's the least memorable track on the album.
    Not Today opens up again with disjointed raps and nonsencial lyrics, but gets a bit better as it goes on. The chorus is okay, the bridge is okay, but that's about it.
    Goner, the album closer, is a terribly mellow and kind of sad song. Not really what I was expecting to end this album of mostly upbeat music at all, and it really feels out of place, especially here at the end of the CD. If this wasn't the closer I think it would fit more.
    This album isn't terrible, but it really isn't that good either. If I was forced to listen to this album without being able to skip songs it would probably getting a 3, but there are a few redeeming songs on this album that do make it worth while, especially for fans of their older stuff.    … Expand

    Pretentious in every sense of the word. The raps were incredibly underwhelming, and the instrumentals which skipped around too many genres (reggae, pop, alt-rock, and hip-hop wouldn't sound very well together) were equally as underwhelming. I heard a lot of good things about this band but there wasn't nearly enough to back up the enormous praise it's been getting.

However, blurryface marks a distinct change for the duo, as they attempt to explore different genres within their sound. However, this proves pointless as even though they experiment in multiple ways (reggae influenced melody, pitched-down vocals in a very southern rap style), they constantly return to the SAME EXACT POP FORMULA. No songs on the album are distinguishable for experimentation with song structure, timing, vocal styles (even the track with VOCAL EFFECTS is nearly identical) or lyrical content, something else lacking on the album. Very rare are both the incredibly impactful lines that cause great emotion or introspection, as well as the very abstract metaphors/similes/sensory lines that cause ANY form of thought. The entire album is the same faux-nonchalant angst with no variation, leading to an album that interests for around 15 minutes, then becomes as interesting as watching paint dry. Scratch that, actually, because paint drying isn't obnoxious. In reality, it's as interesting as watching paint dry while listening to Pulse Demon on full volume. Save your money/time for something interesting like Neon Indian or pretty much anything else. 3/10… Expand

    In this album you can really hear how guys from twenty one pilots didn't want to make it in mainstream rappy and bassy sound, but they were made to do it. It doesn't sound as interesting and beautiful as their 3 past albums, but it's still pretty good.

I've tried to understand what they mean but even with a deeper meaning they just sound childish. The change in style throughout the album is refreshing as many tracks sound similar and if ordered one after the other, they could become repetitive. Many credit the band for writing music about "relatable" issues and although this may be accurate, it's annoying that because of the band's up beat, pop, hip-hop sound, it could deter listeners from other pieces with similar lyrical meanings as many of these other musicians and acts pair darker topics with darker sounds. Despite this, some may appreciate their ability to pair dark themes and lyrics with up beat music but I couldn't help throughout thinking that the lyrics are extremely pretentious. From a casual listening view (the way it seems this album was meant to be listened to) the album is actually quite good, the music itself on most tracks makes for pleasant listening but because of the mismatch of the lyrics and sound, the album is a 6 to a 7.… Expand

    This is an awesome album! Guys keep up their consistent theme of thoughtful/philosophical poetry based lyrics. The sound of the music itself is kind of a passionate and genre-bridging mix of rap, rock, indie pop, hip hop, emo, electronic and reggae music (which varies depending on the song). Plus the singer both raps and sings in most songs.

But thankfully Twenty One Pilots have well written songs to elevate some of the mediocre sound.

This album is a ride from start to finish.

    In 'Blurryface' the duo show us how versatile they can be. They are only two but they manage to explore their themes with different instruments than just drums and vocals repeated over and over. Songs in here are catchy, soft, invite to reflexion, and the rhythms are sometimes as surprising as changing. Their influences undeniably drove them to produce such a gender-blending album. It is so powerful, often raging and it also lets the silence be, the music speak without rhyming over all the measures. I however would have prefered more calm tracks on this and when it seems they want to do so, as in 'Goner', it obviously ends up in a terrific crescendo. A great crescendo, but as raging as the rest of the album.

    THIS IS THE BEST ALBUM TO EVER EXIST. Every single song is a banger. Love the darkness this album has, their darkest one yet for me. Message Man is my favorite from this album, closely followed by Hometown

    A big step on twenty one pilots evolution. The inclusion of different genres and the way they combine them with their previous work is excellent. Although not their best work.

    Even after 6 years, this is still my favourite album of all time. It is completelmy flawless, it is cohesive, it grabs us and the concept/lore that has been built since the release of Blurryface is absolutely incredible.

    This album is a masterpiece! Very interesting concept. Amazing music. But most I like the genius meaning of the texts. Why 9? There is a couple boring songs, like message man. And Tyler's vocals not so good as it was on the first album.

    Twenty One Pilots' fourth album, Blurryface, has brought new meaning, lyrics, and genre blending sound that no artist could ever do besides them, and I greatly appreciate it in a music world where there is over the top autotune and cheesy romantic songwriting.

    The first thing I like about the album is how influenced it was from multiple different genres. It has reggae influenced songs    Twenty One Pilots' fourth album, Blurryface, has brought new meaning, lyrics, and genre blending sound that no artist could ever do besides them, and I greatly appreciate it in a music world where there is over the top autotune and cheesy romantic songwriting.

    The first thing I like about the album is how influenced it was from multiple different genres. It has reggae influenced songs such as "Message Man" while also taking influence using the ukulele in songs like "The Judge" while not sounding too disjointed from one another, and still being able recognize Twenty One Pilots themselves. The different genres also give something new for your ears to listen to so won't get bored and fall asleep while listening to the album.

    Second, I also like how Twenty One Pilots manages to incorporate interesting and clever lyricism throughout the entire album. It makes you feel intrigued to listen to the songs more closely and to find out the meaning of the lyrics in the songs. In "Goner", the lyrics include Tyler trying to have one of two "faces" while trying to destroy the other because he is double minded. One of the faces, Tyler himself, is fighting with another face named "Blurry", who is the root of all of his mental instability and pain. He eventually tries to pray to God in order to be the Tyler he truly is, and not let Blurry take over him. Overall, the lyrics to the songs in the lp are very well written, clever, interesting and thoughtful, and to make them even better, they were all written by Tyler himself.

    Overall, I love this album, and the qualities I mentioned before make me never tired of listening to it.    … Expand

    Not the clever cut of 2013's Vessel, but still airborne.

    Twenty One Pilots prove you don't always need guitars to have a good time. [16 May 2015, p.54]

    Twenty One Pilots ramped up everything, from new influences to the number of producers (four) to the metric ton of uncertainties and fears multiplying in frontman/songwriter Tyler Joseph’s cranium. And it’s wonderful.
