Re: Review newly released albums

Twenty One Pilots "Blurryface". This 2 man band consisting of Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun hail from Columbus, Ohio and were formed in 2009. This is their 4th studio album.

Honestly, this is the most refreshing and original cross-genre album, I've listened to in a long time. It's AMAZING. I'm now a huge fan, and I've downloaded their catalogue, but I can't stop listening to this cd, to listen to the other cds. Ok, I listened to "Vessel" a few times, released in 2014 but it's just OK. I wouldn't write home about it. This cd is awesome with so many genres incorporated into every song. I hear reggae, hip-hop, rap, alternative and pop. When I first heard this band with the song "Tear in my Heart", I thought they were Weezer. Then I heard "Stressed Out" and I didn't even know it was the same band. I thought it was a hip-hop band. The first single "Fairly Local" is synth and remind me of the Weeknd. "Lane Boy" is a frenzy sounding reggae song. WOW. This band is all over the place. It's refreshing and new and they pigeon hole themselves to one genre, which I LOVE in a band.

I can't praise this cd enough and highly recommend it. I give it a 5 out of 5.
