ONE OF THE BEST BANDS EVER!!!
This is an awesome album! I received it in the mail yesterday as a preorder through their website. As with previous albums, Twenty One Pilots keep up their seemingly consistent theme of thoughtful/philosophical poetry based lyrics. The sound itself (minus the amazing lyrics) is kind of a mix between Eminem, Beck, Modest Mouse and Coldplay. Plus the singer raps and sings in most songs. The singer also plays the keyboard, piano, ukulele and bass guitar, among other things. The drummer is very talented too! I first watched this band live locally a few years ago at Arkansas State University, where they stole the show as an unknown opener to the great live band Neon Trees. They seem to have a deep religious theme in most of their songs (especially the ones that aren't top singles), as with many of the songs the singer seems to actually be singing to God, but even as an Agnostic I don't mind in the least bit as I sing along, because they do their thing so very well. Their name deserves to be mentioned along side figures like John Lennon and Leo Tolstoy. They're that good on so many levels. A+++

Great second album from a modern band!
When Tyler and Josh (of Twenty One Pilots) were first asked what sound they would be going for for their newly announced album, they said that they didn't have a specific idea for the sound for their debut album, Vessel, and it turned out really well, so they were going to stick with that. The result is very different from their first album, but still absolutely fantastic! I admit that some songs took me a little bit to warm up to, but they fuse so many genres and styles into a single song that you will be intrigued at the very least. I would recommend this album to any music lover for sure!

Beautiful Album
I don't know what I was expecting from Twenty One Pilots' newest album, but I don't think this was it. This album was AMAZING. Definitely one of my favorite albums officially. The songs are real. There's no better way for me to explain it. The reason I wasn't expecting what I got from this album is because this album is so very different from their last one. I'd say to buy it and find out for yourself.
