      grayd98 ok well first of all u write it out not put the number 21 and u put a line through the Ø and they have best band in the world award 3 years running and best album 2 years running and and in the top 5 list for most streamed artists around the world so I don't think a bunch of 14 year olds can do that.

    • @grayd98
      @grayd98 7 лет назад +95

      Actually they can. Most adults with jobs don't have time to ravenously follow musicians. So most popular musicians are more popular with 14 year olds.

      I loved this album and I respect Anthony's opinion but I think it's funny that he, yet again, criticized an album on some the bands main intentions and goals. Saying they were mistakes when they were actually thought out decisions done purposely. But other than that his opinions were very valid and I understand where he's coming from. Still love the album tho ^_^

    • @mmmTheMuffinMan
      @mmmTheMuffinMan 9 лет назад +68

      Jared Liriano The problem is that the decisions made by the band come off as being mistakes, and at that point whether or not they're actually mistakes doesn't matter anymore. It just comes together sloppily. It's like if I purposely released a record that was just an hour of me screaming, I made that decision but that doesn't mean it sounds good or makes for good music.

I'm a 31yo man who likes practically every genre out there (rap, grime, pop, r&b, eurodance, house, bassline, dubstep, punk rock/alternative, reggae etc) and I love the unique Twenty One Pilots. The genres I don't like are rock/roll/metal (basically anyone you see in Rolling Stone/NME/Kerrang magazine) apart from the odd few like Prodigy, Linkin Park, Sum 41, Green Day, Blink 182. What you really mean to say is you don't like them because in your opinion they've left your shitty rock genre requirements eg. Drums that just make noise, guitars that just sound like noise, and singers that can't sing for shit.

      The first one was for "their music is deeper.."

      *****
      It's spelled out (not 21, it's twenty one)
      how would you know it's easy to understand if you don't even like them, you really need to use time to understand the real meaning behind the lyrics. Ok, maybe stressed out and car radio might be easy to understand but if you try to explain many other ones, I bet you just don't shortly make up a meaning to the lyrics
      Basic means it's not different. Basic means it's elmental = nothing more special
      Yes a lot of people listen to them
      It does not mean they're basic.
      They're alternative and many other genres (if they're not, please tell me all the genres they ARE).

    A lot of people are arguing over the emotional and lyrical content of this band. And, if you listen to what fantano is actually saying, you'll realize he's not talking about the lyrics. He's talking about the musical content.
    Musically, this album is simply a rootless clusterfuck mashup of genres. He's saying the music comes out a bit vapid because they lack identity, just like most modern pop music.
    He's not saying they need to play "real instruments", or become a dub step duo, or anything of that nature. Rather, his critique is simply that the band lacks a solid identity as far as what they want their music to sound like.
    And don't think that it's because he's a hipster who doesn't like pop music, it's not that at all-- if you look at his other reviews, he enjoyed Drakes previous album (before views cus it sucked), Carly Rae Jepsen, and a lot of other pop acts. It's simply that this band has no musical identity which makes listening to them feel very empty. That's it.

    • @jesusmluna3002
      @jesusmluna3002 7 лет назад +20

      I don't think that's a fair criticism either because he claims that there's a common emphasis on reggae concepts, as well as a consistent "structure" to each song. At what point can anyone listen to this album and think "this band has not found their sound?" I personally don't care for them, but I think what they do is entertaining and effective. i, like anyone who bothers, can hear a twenty one pilots song and probably be able to identify it as them because of their approach to rhythm, the modulation in rhythms on the singers part, and the overall driving of the drummer. He just doesn't like it and needs to justify it, I'm just not sure he can do it effectively. I give his review a 4/10 for inconsistency lol

      His whole argument there was that they clearly strive to break out of this safe pop formula mold and do something more distinct and experimental or at least more daring, throwing reggae breakdowns and other various musical elements is like having a tease towards something different, and only meant to spice up a predictable track, they put their energy into it it just seems like they could be so much better if they broke from their agonizingly similar verse-chorus-verse pop structure bindings.

    • @mcblahflooper94

And again people who expect this album to resemble and reminisce a lot of Vessel, will be disappointed. Because it's not suppose to have the same sound, it's a complete 180 from Vessel, still very much Twenty One Pilots, just a different stage.

In the end he sends those parts, 21 pilots die, and the man ends up killing himself because of the guilt he felt. Yeah, pretty much because of the moral of the story.

    That's the thing with Twenty One Pilots, their unique sound is a mix of genres. It's not one specific sound, they have jumped all over the place since their self-titled album. Their claim to fame is that unpredictability and the lyrical content. I am not gonna sit here and say that your opinion on the album, I'm just going to respectfully disagree with you. I personally love the album and I can't wait to see what Tyler and Josh cook up next.
    I would also like to point out that the album is very much telling a story of Tyler's battle with his own insecurities (Blurryface is the name he gave to those insecurities). This is why the album has that up and down feel to it, because it's meant to be a struggle. Heavydirtysoul and Stressed out are dark and brooding, and then Ride is joyous. This ebb and flow continues over the entire album and finally finishes with the stirring Goner.

    I kinda agree, I didn't rlly like blurryface. But Tyler Joseph, the singer, who writes most the lyrics, said himself that blurryface was designed to be played on the radio. He said he wanted this album to specifically mimic the way mainstream-songs are written, so basically he focused more on writing songs that would appeal to the mass. And I think at this point some quality was left behind. Regional At Best and Self titled however are genius. I know this is late, but you should really review those.

    I understand his argument about the band's need to sound less like a sugar coated pop/rock group whilst they try to simultaneously burn said groups that follow that ideal. But, that's some of the genius of Twenty One Pilots. Throughout songs like Lane Boy, Stressed Out, and especially Fairly Local (For example the line, "This song will never be on the radio) Tyler really bares his insecurities as a songwriter and performer. So much of him craves the ability to have a sound that is completely new and exciting for his fans as well as his critics, but at the same time, the music business as a whole has a way of pressuring artists into fitting a cookie-cutter pop ideal. At least, that's what I got from the album.

That's why Top was signed by FBR, they were going to let TOP do what they wanted to do and perform how they wanted to perform.

This album (and Twenty One Pilots in general) inspired an entire new generation of music, and many new artists coming into the scene are citing this band as one of their main inspirations. This album is also the first in history to have every single song certified at least Gold. I honestly prefer Trench, and think it's their magnum opus, but Blurryface is actually a really solid and iconic album that's cemented itself into history. I really wanna see Fantano do a retake on this one like he's done with other albums recently.

      It's all in the live shows. The fact that it's only the two of them means that they have to put in the extra effort to "fill the stage". Therefore they have taken the "concept" in their newest album Blurryfave that all us fans have been hyped so much about and they (and their stage production/direction/coreography company etc) have created a show unlike any other. You should really go to a show just to understand the whole experience. I think that connection with the fams during the live shows is what has made twenty one pilots excel.

    I love Twenty One Pilots! Their songs hold a meaning to me. I have experienced depression and suicidal thoughts, and their music has helped me to fight it. Alot of people hate them and I respect that.
    You are a very good reviewer by the way. I enjoy your videos very much!

    My favorite part of twenty one pilots is the lyrics, their self titled album is a perfect example. Thank you for taking the time to review one of my favorite bands :) I will still jam to their songs for now until their next album haha

  • @CaelanWykoff
    @CaelanWykoff 8 лет назад +22

    But dude, you missed the meaning of the album!
    The end of the song Goner is the beginning of Heavydirtysoul, it's because that distorted scream you hear is actually Blurryface. In this song, Tyler is giving up and letting Blurryface win, which is why you hear a noose throughout the song. He's given up. And in the end, Blurryface wins. But then it actually continues to Heavydirtysoul, the first song on the Blurryface album. In this song, it picks up with where it left off. Blurryface is very loud, Tyler is praying for help, for Someone to save his soul. His fear of death inspires him to keep fighting Blurryface. Then it continues throughout the entire album, like a story about him fighting against his Blurryface. And in the end, the last song in the album, it's the new version of this song. He's determined to fight Blurryface once again, and it's evident he's much stronger than he was. During the buildup part of the song, you can hear a faint Blurryface scream, it gets louder and louder, until Tyler screams "DONT LET ME BE--!!!" and the battle begins. Very loud banging, Blurryface is screaming again, but now Tyler literally screams back. And in the end... Tyler screams "I WANNA BE KNOWN BY... You." And as soon as he says "You," Blurryface stops. The banging stops. It goes silent because Tyler won. He finally beat Blurryface, and that's the end of the entire album.

    Everyone is allowed to have an opinion and doesn’t deserve to be shat on for it. Both him, the haters, the lovers, and the people who don’t really care. I like them, but I’m probably not the typical stereotype for Top. Don’t be a jerk to someone who doesn’t enjoy it and don’t don’t be a jerk to someone who likes it! Simple as that! Thank you for sharing this, and I respect your opinion. :)

    I have a couple generic yet catchy twenty one pilots songs on my phone. I wouldn't say they're fantastic, but they are certainly better than the garbage music Meghan Trainor puts on the radio, or Iggy Azalea. They TRY to be different but shoving in different genre influences, though not always succeeding.

    • @2000Doriyas
      @2000Doriyas 7 лет назад +17

      I know this is kind of a dick argument but liking something for being better than Meghan Trainor or Iggy Azalea wouldn't be nearly enough to justify wanting to listen to that music regularly, it should have to hold up on its own..

    • @Andrewroo12
      @Andrewroo12 7 лет назад +2

      ***** What I mean is that it is my guilty pleasure. I have way better music to listen to that I think is fundamentally better. I guess it comes down to a handful of their songs being catchy and that's the only reason. My sisters think that TOP is god but I think that their songs range from generic dogshit to mildly catchy and entertaining. I definitely wouldn't consider them a good music group, but rather an ok one in a generation with shitty ones.

    • @2000Doriyas
      @2000Doriyas 7 лет назад +1

      Andrewroo12 I have always argued that no one should feel guilty for enjoying something, and it should always be explainable why you enjoy or appreciate something, even if it's on a lesser level, as long as you can explain what you like and don't like about it.

    • @Andrewroo12
      @Andrewroo12 7 лет назад +2

      ***** Yeah, definitely. That's why a lot of the times I can see where people come from with music/games/movies when they critique it and it's easy to see both sides. But you can have occasional instances in all of those where it's so fundamentally well made or terribly made that it becomes harder to see why other people like or dislike it. I think people are more forgiving for things they are less familiar with in terms of quality. Which is why I'm definitely harshest on movies and games, and a little more forgiving with music because I'm not equipped to judge it from a fundamental standpoint since I haven't listened to enough variety. But yeah, interesting subject.

    • @2000Doriyas
      @2000Doriyas 7 лет назад +1

      Andrewroo12 It's interesting you point that out, because I'm definitely the same way except it's movies, television and ESPECIALLY music that i'm harshly critical of but there are certain genres of those media formats that i'm pretty soft on and tend to like anything under a specific style.

  • @ThatOneGuy7550
    @ThatOneGuy7550 6 лет назад +322

    I've grown out of the band tbh, it's trying to be experimental, fun and interesting but my main problem is they are trying to hard, like Melon said, it's underwhelming. The only good track I can look back to is Tear in My Heart but other than that, the band is just mediocore like Imagine Dragons, Fallout Boy or whatever fucking pop punk band you can name that isn't Paramore.

    He's so good at pros and cons. Like, Anthony you're one of the few youtube music reviewers I'd actually enjoy having a conversation with even if I disagree. They're my fav band but like... different people react to different music in different ways? Something that really stresses me out about both fans and antis is the intense hate against one another, but this vid was actually chill (unlike the comments) and I love that.

    Seeing as twenty one pilots are my favourite band, this kinda felt like someone was stabbing me in the gut, but I honestly have to agree with you. The album is really pop-y, and has a predictable sound. I like Vessel though, and I have to say it's one of my favourite albums, mostly for personal reasons.

    • @Dingdong0130
      @Dingdong0130 8 лет назад +6

      In one of their interviews, Tyler said that blurryface was going to be completely different because vessel wasn't written for an audience. He said all the songs he wrote for vessel, he didn't write them for people to listen to. We are never going to get songs like the songs from self-titled, regional at best, and vessel ever again. And I'm okay with that, because they are constantly going to change. But somehow they still withhold something that makes them, them. Idk I just really love their music a lot. Sorry if this didn't make sense.

    The only issue I have with the breakdown of this album is that I think every problem that he had with the album is the irony they were trying to create. They create this music as kind of a "haha this isn't impressive or original and we can do it too if you want" while turning the lyrics into something meaningful that a lot of artists don't do. Their songs are on the radio and it's furthering the idea of "if this is what you want you can have it" while at the same time staying true to themselves with their lyrics. Lane Boy even talks about how their producers want them to write music that people can sing along to and can dance to so they create that vibe while twisting the meaning behind it. Looking at it when not seeing that interwoven irony can produce that reaction of the music just being "normal" or just like any other pop song. So if you got that out of it, you didn't understand the album itself.

      @mattrogers3464 8 лет назад +2

      I'm not trying to justify the sound, I'm trying to point out the irony behind it. Sure, it sounds generic and honestly lame but when you understand it, it makes it bearable. And instead you appreciate it for the message behind the lyrics, not just the tune. Listening to music without purpose is shallow and boring and I would rather listen to generic sounding music with a purpose then innovative music that means nothing.

    most of the comments are about the fan base oh wow. if I'm honest, it's 50/50 with the fan base (possibly even 60/40). there are the crazy fans who think they're 'edgy' and only listen to 'real music' and who will literally attack you for having an opinion, but then there's also the fans who are respectful and kind and altogether chill people. I do love twenty one pilots, their music really interests me, but it annoys me when I see people use the 'shit fan base' as an excuse not to TRY to listen to their music. don't confuse the artist with the band.
