Twenty One Pilots - Scaled and Icy (May 21, 2021) Album • Page 9

Yeah, I felt like there was a year period between RAB and Vessel where I was driving to Columbus every few weeks to catch them.

Was the OU show the outdoor show that used to be up on YouTube? In like a big field?

 

I have a feeling this Livestream will immediately be added to YouTube

 

Yeah, that was one of them. They played twice that first year I was there. That was my first weekend of college. I didn’t know anyone, knew they were playing, but didn’t go. The time I didn’t know about until after was when they played The Union.

 

It's very clear he's been listening to Elton John, Good Day, Bounce Man, Mulberry Street, and Never Take It all give me that kind of vibe.

 

This livestream is gonna be phenomenal. Really looks like it’s going to be a full-on musical. Full band (with their friends Simon, Paul, Jesse, Josh, & Ned hahaha), backup singers, backup dancers, multiple sets & costumes, SFX. Cannot wait to see what they do.

 

I really like this album. Doesn't hit me as well as Trench did, but they're just two completely different albums for different moods. I do hope they go back to that darker Tench sound at some point.

 

It took 2+ years to come up with 38 minutes worth of material?

 

^ Sounds like the average album cycle to me

 

Everyone’s a critic.

 

About five listens in now. Can’t believe how much I love this thing compared to the first listen.

 

HEY! Another fellow Bobcat here. That’s rad you got to see them in Athens.

 

Giving this a listen and I like it more than anything else I’ve heard from them.

 

This livestream is absolutely INSANE.

Really hope I’ll be able to rewatch.

 

That was NEXT LEVEL

 

Wow. Just wow.

 

That was nuts. So good.

 

Wish I could have watched the livestream. This setlist is fantastic.

Oh my god, that livestream was incredible. I would 100% be down for the full band when they tour.

EDIT: I was stoked when Paul Meany was on the piano during Ride.

 

Hey Bobcat!

 

I think the album is good, it's more consistent than Blurryface and more mature than Vessel. But personally I can't help but feel like it's a step back from Trench, to me this is nowhere near that album.

 

For some reason I went into this assuming it was going to be my least favorite by them (I think because it feels like there's so little hype compared to their usual album releases?) but this is fucking great, easily stacks up with all the others. Only song I'm not crazy about at the moment is Bounce Man, everything else just instantly hit for me. Favorites are all the singles, The Outside, Never Take It, Mulberry Street, No Chances and Redecorate, which is damn near the whole album. Really excited to see them on this tour and to see where they go next

Really glad I'm still onboard with these guys

 

Didn’t watch the livestream but I just listed to this record and yeah…. It’s pretty much everything I didn’t want from TOP. Shy Away is a cool track but even that feels half baked.

I’m sure most people will like this but Trench was such a cool pivot and I wish they continued down that sound. This is just polished pop which I just find uninteresting.

 

half-baked and polished pop in the same critique? Interesting

 

For as straightforward as most of these songs are, I could see this being one of those albums that is even more highly regarded by fans and critics years down the road. I agree that the biggest shock for most long-time fans is how much of a 180 this is from Trench.

But they kind of signaled that with “level of concern” last year, IMO.
