Double Album Confirmed

[golden umbra]

Yesss I was thinking about that too
I feel like at times Clancy had punk elements to it I hope they do that a little more in breach

[compact arrow]

Either take a mental note or screen shot it

The first words in the song or mv or both of The Contract are going to be “Hello Blurryface”

[golden umbra]

I think that chord at the VERY end of the Paladin Strait mv might be the intro to The Contract

[cosmic oar]

I know what genre twenty one pilots are in

'Twenty one pilots' genre

[dawn kettle]

im keeping it here, itll be half sai vibes (Songs sounding like The Outside, No chances vibes with one song like Mulberry or Good day) half clancy trench vibes AND ILL COME BACK TO THIS WHEN IM RIGHT AND EVERYONE CALLED ME CRAZY ONCE AGAIN

[hot stream]

I really hope Navigating live intro somehow makes it onto the album

If that’s the sound direction they’re going for then oh boy it’s going to be a wild album

[golden umbra]

Are you talking about the creepy like
Piano thing ?

[hot stream]

Yeah

[golden umbra]

If so then you’re so right

I HOPE SO

someone in theory forum got a really clear recording of it

[hot stream]

I truly am hoping so as well I just want shit to go down in this album

[hot stream]

I heard it… it’s amazing

[dawn kettle]

i think this album will be about clancys story ending for sure, but they would leave some things out to create for a later album, think about it, we get a prequel album to the creation of dema and vialism, would be insane

[golden umbra]

I can’t even imagine how good this album is gonna be this is like
The climax of the whole story
A decade of lore has led up to this

[cosmic oar]

I mean they did say 'lets finish this' in the announcement so probably

I personally think they should do something like they did in paladin strait with the minute silence of birds but increase it to like 10 minutes

It would be so musical

[dawn kettle]

also doing a prequel album we could see where the neds come from, the bishops before they were bishops, thrash the dragon before they were seized, the creation of the banditos, there is so much that they could explore after clancys story

[golden umbra]

The birds are representative of something right ? I can’t remember what tbh

[cosmic oar]

Not sure

[dawn kettle]

we dont know if i remember

it was added but never elaborated on, even having it removed in the mv is something

[hot stream]

I really hope they saved Clancy’s marketing on this project. Clancy literally had the bare minimum

No Zane Lowe… nothing

[golden umbra]

I just remember Goner for instance has the picture with a lot of birds

[hot stream]

Only the billboards

[golden umbra]

I’m excited to see the merch for Breach as well

[hot stream]

I can see them explaining all of these by releasing separate books….

[golden umbra]

I wouldn’t be shocked if they did a book
I think that’d actually be a super smart idea

[hot stream]

Exactly

[olive jewel]

there should be a long documentary movie about all this

[dawn kettle]

could be i would buy the book, but i dont see them doing something like that, theyve shown everything either from their music, ARG's, FPE, or the livestream experience, would make more sense when clancys story is done after breach to start expanding on the lore with their next albums because there still isnt alot we know about the world, and they could also expand it to start another story with a new group of main characters and antagonists

and if they want to close off the lore, itll be great to have a prequel album to see how things came to be in trench and get those answers to stuff within the lore, and at the end of the album the last song ends with the heavydirtysoul opening rift tying the story up in a nice little knot

[hot stream]

Tbh I would love them to do that but like isn’t Breach supposed to put an end to the entire universe? That’s how they promoted

If there were change in plans then that’s good

[rain birch]

IT REPRESENTS THE BREAK BETWEEN CLANCY AND BREACH!! RIGHT AT 5:21, THE SILENCE ENDS AND THE UKELELE STARTS PLAYING, JUST LIKE IRL, ON MAY 21, WHEN THE ALBUM ANNOUNCEMENT DROPPED

[golden umbra]

That’s nutssss I never caught that

[hot stream]

It might feel underwhelming when they start putting out those side albums after Breach… I doubt many people will still be interested in those side characters or storylines by then.

[dawn kettle]

if closing up the lore itll just be one album that sort of just explains the backstory of stuff, like the creation of dema, vialism, "destruction" of trench (hunting neds for their horns) where neds come from, hints of thrash, things like that that will help with fleshing out the clancy story a bit more then the next albums wouldnt be lore at all, but if they were doing another story in the universe its becuase tyler would want to do it, it wouldnt matter if people were into the new story or not (were also insane so fans would most likely get into it i would never doubt tylers lore building abilities)

[desert smelt]

let this album be heavier pls

[cloud lynx]

side albums honestly idk

i don't think they'd do that

[shut spruce]

wdym "side albums"

[cloud lynx]

idk people are talking about side albums

and i dont see why they (the band) would even do that

[dawn kettle]

it wouldnt be a side album itll be the next album of a new story

[shut spruce]

i honestly think the '27 album will start a new story

[graceful hill]

What just happened

[cloud lynx]

i think they might just do smaller scale stories like just one concept album yk

self-contained

[cloud lynx]

idk what u are referring to but if it's about the deleted msgs it's just me

[compact arrow]

Blatant lie

https://tenor.com/view/popcorn-minions-popcorn-day-laugh-gif-5026739

[mental granite]

Just crazy that we got best case scenario..
not an EP,
Not a deluxe Clancy album,
Not one more song,
Not just lore wrapping it up, but a whole full length album 🤯

[wise sparrow]

Over/under on screams for breach?

[desert smelt]

praying for screams

and heavier tracks

[graceful hill]

heavier in what way?

[desert smelt]

musically

gifted every strength by loathe is a good example

[cloud lynx]

did the person who wrote that listen to the album

like at all

[cloud lynx]

i mean it makes the most sense when u think about it

[smoky turtle]

5.5 I'm taking the over

[livid pine]

i need a track like levitate on this new thing. maybe two or three🙏 i’ve been fiending for another good rap song since SAI

[lean mango]

It's a reasonable statement to make both because press had the same info we did about it being the end of the story, and because until we got clues, we had no way of knowing for sure that Paladin wasn't the end

[graceful hill]

so metalcore, gotcha

ive been hoping for a song like that but the more i think about it idk if it fits top

but itd be baller to hear like a scream into a breakdown about dema burning or something

[desert smelt]

yeah

[graceful hill]

but also i dont expect the same kind of vocals

[desert smelt]

oh fs

[graceful hill]

i dont imagine tyler doing highs and lows and mids and everything lol

[hot stream]

Does Paul Meany usually get this silent? Everytime the band’s album get announced he always tended to repost immediately

[clever falcon]

as long as it has a song similar to hurts like heaven by coldplay (BANGER) I'm happy

[hot stream]

Or at least post it on his story

[graceful hill]

if he did id certainly be welcome to it but i dont see it happening

[desert smelt]

the balance between heavy and soft in jumpsuit is really what i’m hoping for breach

there’s gotta be at least one heavy track considering this is the final battle

[clever falcon]

yeah like the My Blood bass as well

[desert smelt]

yeahh

i feel like they might have their heaviest bass tone for breach

[storm fable]

tbh every album for a while has had at least had one heavy-ish track,
i totally expect some heavier sounds on breach

[storm fable]

I hope the tone is similar to the one used during the clancy tour

it sounded so good

[desert smelt]

yeah

[compact trout]

He will not say anything until the guys officially announce stuff. He likes to not spoil things

[storm fable]

speaking of paul meany, I really hope we get more production breakdowns for breach when it's out
those always give me so much deeper appreciation for the sounds and production

[hot stream]

But like didn't the band officially announce both single and album?

[hot stream]

LIkewise

[compact trout]

That's all they've done. No tracklist, no official day, no who worked on it

[storm fable]

I would be a little disappointed if paul meany didn't work on it,
but surely he did, considering he even helped with the doubt demo release

[hot stream]

I believe for Clancy it was the same scenario, yet Paul Meany posted it

Same Paul Meany is a key element of the albums. He brought new stuff onto the band's table

[compact trout]

I assume Paul worked on it as he said project, not album when he posted about working with them before Clancy. And he's also busy producing for another band atm

[hot stream]

Oh I kinda see now why he's inactive

[shut spruce]

im sure we'll know more once The Contract is out

if Paul is listed as co-producer, then he probably worked on most of the other songs

[dreamy sage]

wait so do we know if the vinyl is 1LP?

i havent checked that yet

[shut spruce]

1LP

[dreamy sage]

awh

thank you

[shut spruce]

np

sorta wish it was a 2LP

but it'd be pricey so eh

[storm fable]

How long can 1LP be? around the same length as clancy I imagine?

[shut spruce]

it depends on RPM

but 1 side is usually 22 ish so 44 in total but you can go high with as 56 (28 on both sides) but that leads to compression

so yeah, Clancy length probably

[storm fable]

trench was 2 right?

[shut spruce]

ye

and BF

vessel was 1LP, almost the same length as Clancy actually

[ivory radish]

honestly I just need a song like The Hype production wise 😭 I’ve been missing that grandiose, smooth feel

[desert smelt]

true

trench production pls

[ivory radish]

The Hype is def my fav song by them for production alone

it’s so gorgeous in every way

the strings work unbelievably well

[storm fable]

Gets me really curious what the musical themes of breach will be like, I feel like it's always something new
Trench has the dirty bass and eerie piano sounds,
SAI has it's vintage light pop inspirations
Clancy has those almost detuned synths and the baritone uke
I wonder what will tie breach together

[ivory radish]

my hope is a kind of orchestral sound palette

but darker

and maybe vocal chops, could be interesting for some texture

[storm fable]

like vignette sorta? or something more cinematic-ish like the navigating live intro?

[ivory radish]

Closer to Vignette yeah, but with other kinds of instruments in the mix too

I need some deep brass sounds

shrill strings

[storm fable]

personally I'm hoping for more piano, clancy kinda did away with the piano except for a few moments

[ivory radish]

that’s fair

I like piano additions too

I just think stuff like trumpets and flutes and things could be very fresh

[storm fable]

yeah, no matter what i'm excited for a new album with it's own musical identity,
the possibilities are endless

there's so much they could do

[ivory radish]

for real

[toxic comet]

Has anyone seen this yet?

I thought it was cool

[fiery current]

it can spell icy too

[teal compass]

I remember back when it was coming out we heard that next semester cost around 200k which is an absolutely insane price tag for what’s a relatively simple video using volunteers as extras, I fear some of the budget might not be coming across as obvious/might have been a bit mishandled in some of these

[compact trout]

Im just ready day 1 of release to add all the sweet credits info to the discogs entry like I did for rhe vinyl variant I went with for Clancy

[storm fable]

speaking of budget, what was with the hashflags for bfx? were they just to promote the merch or something?

although the next semester budget makes sense to me, there was the stage and spark effects, the venue, director, and what seems like a pretty crazy camera rig

[compact trout]

Watch the behind the scenes stuff for it. The production is not simple at all for it

[storm fable]

and just crew costs

[compact trout]

And they also had to shut a street down for an entire night. That's not cheap

[storm fable]

yeah, productions like that are expensive, seems completely reasonable to me

[compact trout]

https://youtu.be/JfBZsgTgfD4?si=Z-3LIizbZQ5fG8w9

[storm fable]

you gotta consider they had set design, wardrobe designers, camera crew, extra management, lighting, location scouting, editing, directing, camera equipment, stage equipment. all of that costs a lot of money

[teal compass]

Yeah it seems to have just been their 3 day promo of bts stuff from bf era and the merch, nothing else really came of it

[compact trout]

Capped off with announcing the true end of the era

[storm fable]

was a weird anniversary for sure

[teal compass]

I do understand why it could have ended up costing that much, just trying to point out that while it seems to a lot of people Clancy is significantly lower budget than their other albums the budget might not be necessarily obviously reflected in the videos.

Same thing with the advertising honestly, everyone’s been shitting on the label for not advertising them this era but then they blow half a mil on hashflags randomly? They’re clearly willing to fund the band with ridiculous amounts of money for promo at the drop of a hat. The amount of actual support they’re getting is likely not reflected in the final product for some other reason (which we now know is likely that they were working on two albums at once)

[compact trout]

Most labels also only want like 3 or 4 music videos tops, not the entire album

Still, if Paul's post about this project was in the middle of recording and not towards the start, they still made quality music in a speedy time

[storm fable]

I wonder if they've been saving some mv budget for a long Iceland filming trip for breach that's my hope

cause I do agree, there was only like two or three mid-higher budget videos,
which was used well for those, but seemed less than previous eras
(this is not to say I didn't love the handmade low budget clancy videos, those were awesome too)

[wheat gorge]

well there are Icelandic photographers credited for Clancy, and a few photos of them in rocky and forested areas that very well could be Iceland, so I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't have content filmed there

[storm fable]

yeah that's very possible we still don't know what those credits were for.
at the very least I hope we get more physical sets and on location videos,
paladin strait was awesome, but I felt like the cg kept me from being fully immersed

[teal compass]

yeah agreed, paladin is certainly an ambitous and cool video but the fact it at times looks like a last gen video game cutscene kinda broke the immersion 😭

all the other videos feel incredibly grounded and make the world of trench feel very real and tangible in a way they werent able to do with the cgi which makes it hard to be as wholly invested as something like the outside imo

i do question why the cgi was even necissary given theres only like 5 seconds in the ukraine location they wouldnt be able to film in now and everything else is in iceland, probably due to time constraints with the 2 albums but given they ended up delaying the album and then delaying the video again it probably would have saved more time to shoot it on location in the long run anyway lol

[maiden onyx]

i’m so happy we are getting a second album, but even if we didn’t get a second album, i still think this would’ve been the best era. we got random letters in the mail from dema hinting at the new single. we got tyler tweeting about how excited he was to show us overcompensate, joking around and experiencing the moment with us. we got a mv for every single song released this last year. we got a live stream of the band experiencing the release of the album and mvs with us in real time. we got digital remains and got to see a bunch of photographed outtakes and lyric sheets from the making of the album. we got an AMAZING show with some of the best transitions and storytelling ever from the boys. throughout the tour we also got codes and messages to decode and solve together, keeping everyone involved. we got the fpe which gave us the history of the band and we got to see so many cool things from that like the letters that were jam packed with lore and codes. we are getting a clancy live album. we also got multiple blurryface tweets this last year and got to celebrate bfx by solving codes together. the codes ultimately led up to teasing the double album and the name of the first single, but i think if all they announced was a second leg to the tour that wrapped up the story, i think we still got fed so well. im so happy to be a part of this fanbase and get to experience this amazing band with all of you. i can’t wait for breach and for us all to experience that together as well

[brazen leaf]

potential tracklist reveal today

or smth

lets see

[hot stream]

Wouldn’t it be too early?

[brazen leaf]

eh maybe but its clancys birthday

maybe they'll just say happy birthday

or post a teaser

[shut spruce]

tracklist probably with The Contract I'd assume

if anything, now would be a good time to teaee the Clancy Live album

[molten sandal]

19 DAYS

i accidentally scrolled through a live on tt and all i heard was THE CONTRACT IS A ||LOVE|| SONG!! and scrolled away as quick as i could 😭😭😭

those damn leak listeners

[graceful hill]

I don't think it has leaked

[molten sandal]

yeah i really hope that was a fake leak or something even if i didnt hear anything

[shut spruce]

probably referring to the fake leak, Clancy and Nico.. yeah

[molten sandal]

OH THAT ONE LMAOOO

[teal compass]

The song hasn’t leaked yet you’re good don’t worry

We know nothing about it yet

[shut spruce]

except for the love affair

[brazen leaf]

WILL WEHEAR A SNIPPET OF THE CONTRACT TODAY

ONE CAN HOPE

[gilded anchor]

Why would we? But also please please please

[distant beacon]

More than likely we’ll hear a snippet either one week before release so around June 5th or the day before (June 11th)

[fiery current]

i got caught so off guard when i heard it 💀

[brazen leaf]

clancys birthday idk i thought we might get SMTH today

but its maybe not likely

[distant beacon]

They don’t usually post anything during one year album anniversaries unfortunately

[brazen leaf]

we can hope

clancy is apart of the lore

[distant beacon]

So was Trench and sai and they didn’t do anything for their one year anniversary’s 😔

[karmic lake]

i think autocorrect did you dirty on that one

[brazen leaf]

yeah but given the circumstance of the contract out soon and breach, i thought we'd get smth 😔

[distant beacon]

Yes it did

[distant beacon]

I bet we will get something at least a week before

[karmic lake]

the twenty one pilots album french /lh

[distant beacon]

Kinda what they did with OC

[karmic lake]

i wonder if theyre gonna be active at all until a week before

[distant beacon]

Maybe a bit

[brazen leaf]

knowing them they wont say anything until it comes out

[distant beacon]

They might tease it sooner but it’ll be next Thursday

[karmic lake]

bc its not so long until june and it seems like they want to keep us in suspense, but i would love to be proven wrong

im also so curious to see what the "first pressing edition" is cause the wording in the description makes me 👀 and it only being available until june 12

[distant beacon]

Assuming we will get a full reveal on June 12th

[karmic lake]

are they just seeing how many people will by the album with no details lmao

[fiery current]

welcome back to french

🇫🇷🥖

[brazen leaf]

i googled it a few days ago and first pressing just means like the first ever time the CDs were produced with the original masters of the album

apparently it can sound clearer

but has no design on the cd

i think after the contract drops they'll start selling normal Cds

also its funny that first pressing edition = FPE

[karmic lake]

its more so that theyve never done this before and its a new meaning of fpe

and we have very little details

[brazen leaf]

yeah

its a common thing that artists do apparently

[karmic lake]

oh yeah absolutely

[distant beacon]

Most likely it might have an extra bonus unfinished track or just unfinished mixing or maybe it’s just a physical difference

[karmic lake]

but my mind just keeps circling back to those two points and will continue to do so until we get more info

also the description of the cd on the merch store

[distant beacon]

Weirddd

Kinda seems like it’s just a first pressing

Like

Just the first copies

Still weird wording at the end

Claiming a copy right now?

[karmic lake]

RIGHT?

its mostly the phrase "claiming a copy right now" that is making me sus

[distant beacon]

Like what the hell does it MEANNN

we’ll find out June 12th

[mild valley]

I hope it's just an edition like any other they're selling later, just a slightly different design and the only special thing is that it's the earliest-order-edition, so maybe valuable to collectors...
Wish it was available longer though, but no way I'm ordering one now when i know i'll probably order merch anyways once some more stuff drops (shipping is too expensive)

[gilded anchor]

btw just a prediction, weve had hypothetical/speculative clues pointing to June 13th 2025 for a while, which is a Friday which is normal to release music on. And then they come out and announce The Contract slated for June 12th. Im just gonna say it something with lore significance is gonna delay The Contract drop a day and push it to Friday the 13th. I could be wrong idk but its way too close for comfort and this is my prediction 🙂‍↕️

[distant beacon]

What clues have pointed to June 13th?

[woven prawn]

Friday is normal to release albums on but with singles the trend doesn't apply, especially for twenty one pilots. None of the singles off Clancy were released on a Friday, in fact Overcompensate was released on a Thursday like The Contract will be. I don't see this happening

[ivory radish]

the city of Dijon lies in French

the banditos wear mustard tape

[wheat gorge]

would Clancy be the holder of the Ladybug or the Cat miraculous in this case?

[brazen leaf]

it means if you want a first pressing, you have until june 12th

after june 12th they'll sell regular CDs

[distant beacon]

Obviously, but the wording is still odd, that’s all. They’ve never done first pressings before so it’s odd they decide to do them now.

[karmic lake]

this is exactly my thought

[wheat gorge]

my guess is that there's gonna be something special about this CD, cause why else market it as a limited edition CD?

if so, what could it be? outside of maybe special artwork or them being signed, maybe they'll be a special track (an intro, interlude, secret song?) not really their thing but who knows

[brazen leaf]

this album is the final album, they probably see it as extremely special or they have loads of faith in the songs

so they want ppl to get the first pressings

[gilded anchor]

I bought the FPE (lol) so I really hope theirs something special. A hidden arg would suffice in place of extra tracks or stuff like that to lol

[brazen leaf]

idk what other reason there could be

[gilded anchor]

yeah if it's true that they've been working on this since Trench or before and SAI and Clancy were (comparatively speaking) side projects I just can't wait to see what's in store

[karmic lake]

exactly and why does it become unavailable on june 12 when we're supposed to get the contract?seems odd to me that its only available when we dont have any of the songs released, no tracklist, and no concrete release date

[wheat gorge]

exactly! it's almost like whatever is special about the First Pressing Edition is not hinged off music (which we have nothing of) but maybe the lore?

[ivory radish]

May well become the coolest CD in my collection tbh

[karmic lake]

yeah there has to be something about it thats different, it could be as small as the cover art is different but i think it will be much bigger

[ivory radish]

just read in this and the way you wrote it made me think of something

what if we get the contract

not the song but like whatever the actual contract is

[karmic lake]

OHHHH like in the cd case

[ivory radish]

written on the CD, or in the case

yeah

[karmic lake]

thats a cool idea

[ivory radish]

maybe there will be dmaorg codes in the credits, idk

[wheat gorge]

it's like the Dema Envelopes again but with the CD

[ivory radish]

yeah

[karmic lake]

ill be very excited then bc i never got a dema letter

[gilded anchor]

#theories was having the obligatory "is it really a double album technically speaking" conversation earlier 😭

[ivory radish]

bruh 😭

[gilded anchor]

I sent this 😭 They must understand!!

[wheat gorge]

same

[ivory radish]

I feel like, surely everyone knew that the double album theory wasn’t actually being technical abt the definition

[gilded anchor]

I mean yeah this too!

[ivory radish]

it always meant a second album shortly after to continue the story from where we left off

which is what we got

[wheat gorge]

yeah it was kinda the name that just caught on. we didn't really know what to call it when we first started putting together the idea

[brazen leaf]

im not denying that theres nothing special, but they're currently not selling any normal CDs, the first pressing is a limited time thing with probably only a few thousand or so available at a higher price

so it makes sense to take it off sale

and then sell normal cds

[karmic lake]

Yeah that’s true they aren’t selling any normal cds right now but its not really a higher price: the regular price of Clancy at Barnes and Noble right now is $15.99 and the Breach FPE edition is $13.98 /lh /nm

[lean mango]

Do you remember how much the Clancy CD was on the site?

[wide jolt]

The breach CDs seem cheaper than Clancy ones

[olive plume]

i scrolled back in my email to find my order confirmation of the CD. it was $14.98

[compact arrow]

Well with the amount that Clancy Word Tour costed, they have more than enough funds for these MV’s

[compact arrow]

A lot of people were a bit skeptical of this theory when I posted it one day over OC

However more people started to see that I may have been onto something after the PS MV

[lean mango]

Ok, so the idea that it's 11 tracks seems reasonable

[compact arrow]

Yeah probably 11 tracks

Maybe 12 at most imo

Dude they’ve been radio silent since this announcement

[lean mango]

Charging $1 less for 1 less track is kinda silly but i could see it

[compact arrow]

They definitely are in overdrive behind the scenes

[compact arrow]

Could also have to do with economy too

Shits changing so much recently

[lean mango]

If it was an economy thing they'd probably charge more

Could maybe be a preorder deal?

[ivory radish]

I mean if Clancy had 13 then I would guess Breach has 12 right, The Line being the missing one? or is that theory long gone

[compact arrow]

Inflation has gone .6 since may of last year

Def a big change 🔥🔥

[compact arrow]

The line and Clancy are not correlated imo

I believe The Line was made back in 2023

[compact arrow]

I could see that

[ivory radish]

that’s fair, but even if The Line isn’t a part of it then Clancy having 13 and Breach having 12 would make the total amount of songs 25 - just a thought lol

[compact arrow]

I think it adds up personally

[lean mango]

Though I will say, now that we have a confirmed meaning for 25 I'm a lot less sure about 25 songs total

[wheat gorge]

yeah "25" always felt more like a nod towards 2025 being when new music (Breach) would drop than anything else.

[brazen leaf]

#theories message

i put my thoughts about this theory

[compact arrow]

Could be both

[brazen leaf]

it’s just not possible at all

idk why people think breach was put together last minute

[compact arrow]

I think breach is a double album because it’s coming out a year after Clancy

Which is something they have not done

And also the logo is the same

And the color scheme minus yellow

So

[brazen leaf]

exactly..

[desert smelt]

the craving single version

[brazen leaf]

it’s not on the album

[faint tiger]

i have a theory they’ll sell it with breach after these first pressings, but if they don’t then it’s not technically a double album just one following soon after another

[cloud lynx]

honestly this double album theory was less about semantics and if it is actually a real double album with two discs, but more about just... a second sequel album in general, or even just a second record

i think we can all agree on that

[maiden onyx]

yeah

if you really think about it, since this all connects to the same story, breach is a quintuple album

[cloud lynx]

i mean it would've been cool, but rn it's still a second sister album that directly continues the previous album in a never-seen before way

it still falls under a same umbrella

Clancy => pt 1
Breach => pt 2

[cloud lynx]

i mean yeah it forms a saga

lol

[maiden onyx]

lol i don’t care what the boys call it, im just glad we were right about the true conclusion album

[cloud lynx]

yes that's all that matters to me tbh

[delicate sage]

I was sent here

[dawn kettle]

Did someone say? QUINT ALBUM?

I KNEW IT IM RIGHT AGAIN

https://tenor.com/view/lebron-james-basket-ball-gif-27309240

[karmic lake]

it just makes me wonder when and what they will do next

[brazen leaf]

paul meany saying "25 tracks" in one of his vids is so funny

i wonder if they plotted that together

[ivory radish]

my guess is things will really kick off after the release of The Contract

[karmic lake]

I wonder if they’ll tease it at all before though

[ivory radish]

prolly a music video trailer like they did with Overcompensate

I don't expect anything else tho personally

unless there's some kinda code we haven't cracked or noticed

[golden umbra]

I’ve been wondering about this
Is there anything that we missed ?

[faint tiger]

wait can someone direct me to this

[karmic lake]

I honestly don’t know, I can’t think of anything we might have missed

[brazen leaf]

they'll set a premiere to the mv hopefully a few days before

and i imagine we'll get a snippet a week before?

[brazen leaf]

yes

1 sec

[teal compass]

right now it doesnt seem like we're missing things, we're just waiting on them to do more

[karmic lake]

Yeah

[brazen leaf]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0d7Y-mmDLA

timestamp: 1:02

this was at the time of ultimate chapter 25 asw

definitely a fun tease

[karmic lake]

But when they’re gonna do them is the big question though because they could do it at any time or they could wait

[brazen leaf]

we're in the dark rn

[karmic lake]

I get the feeling Tyler is enjoying watching all of us like

[teal compass]

imo either they do something like what jerikho suggested with a trailer a couple days earlier or they just wait until the 12th

[karmic lake]

https://tenor.com/view/burning-office-spongebob-on-fire-gif-13729593

[teal compass]

we're in a weird position of having the album announced significantly ahead of any single drop which is very new territory for the band so its hard to really say but i think that might be why theyre not jumping into full blown marketing yet, they need something a bit more substantial to advertise with right now than just the album cover and one photoshoot

and its a bit early to whip out full teasers for the first single

[faint tiger]

watched this video and never noticed that omg

[karmic lake]

Yeah it’s odd that they straight up announced it but then having to wait like 20 days for the single

[gilded cape]

soo

any triple album truthers?

[wheat wasp]

💀

[dawn kettle]

QUINT ALBUM THEORY

[golden umbra]

I love that Paul Meany posted those videos they’re just
SO cool

[compact arrow]

I just thought about this

I do think they were planning on ending the lore after trench

“They know that it’s almost over”

Could mean something else but yeah just another possible point that sai and Clancy were not initially planned

[maiden onyx]

i always thought of that line as they know that the cycle is almost over (or is about to break). i definitely think there was only supposed to be one more album after trench but then touring got weird and they didn’t want to finish the story without the touring. that plus the fact that it was hard to find inspiration since they were mostly inspired during the shows

[teal compass]

tyler did tell us back in trench era that they planned to conclude the story in another album, but thats the only one they mentioned that far back- i definitely dont think tyler ever initially intended it to take this long but the story seems to have ballooned out as they got into expanding the world and ideas

sai is directly confirmed to be unplanned by tyler, that one we know for sure- clancy is a bit more vague since its technically a two part continuation into breach but not actually the ending? hard to say if they wouldve gone for the two part era idea or not if sai never happened

[maiden onyx]

i’m happy with the way things turned out anyways

i hold sai close to my heart so it worked out for the best

[wispy orchid]

twenty one pilots scope creep is crazy

[fiery current]

i think it’s best to look at how things turned out through how they were inspired instead of whether they were “supposed to happen”. i love sai because of how it was formed through its environment and year at the time and reflected the current state of the world. then same with clancy even though it was made in a year. the fact that breach was in the works for a while doesn’t mean the other projects are any less meaningful or “intended”

[boreal portal]

bro does NOT think in agile methodologies

[rugged hamlet]

Yeah this exactly, I love the flow that we got and the climactic arc the pandemic had on the storyline. It’s absolutely perfect to me that Tyler would base his writing around the world we live in, to base it around what the fans kinda needed, that the world irl was shifting and so was the continent of Trench.

Provides this really incredible parallel between Trench & real life events, and makes the story really come to fruition. Absolute rock solid move on Tyler’s part. SAI is the album we needed during those times. Genuis 🤌🏼💋

[karmic lake]

I agree and I love we got more world building

[rugged hamlet]

My mom and I talk about how we both think the turn everything did around SAI is genius. Genuinely thinking of it that way has helped me fall in love with the album. When it came out, I was in an emotionally/verbally abusive relationship and it was just something fun to listen to during a really dark time in the world/in my life. The longer it’s been since the album came out, the more I fall in love with it

[molten sandal]

18 days til the contract !!! how are we feeling

[cloud lynx]

feefing pretty good

[shadow cipher]

LEVEL UP: You are now level 25!

[dark ermine]

Hi guys, can anyone send me the link with the interview where TØP said that Clancy was made entirely in 2023?

Ok nevermind, found it

[brazen leaf]

can you send this to me?

[dark ermine]

Around 3:00 https://youtu.be/lDy6FgsdEKg?si=ez8c8UqXLruBJTho

But he said “in a year” not specifically in 2023

[brazen leaf]

ty

which again confirms breach has probably been done before clancy..

[karmic lake]

How we feeling today double album thread?

[storm fable]

impatient

but in all seriousness, the anticipation for this album has only been getting higher, I'm so hyped

[dawn kettle]

its still funny seeing non belivers grasp at straws

[brazen leaf]

they’re all like “but umm no this isn’t a double album omg it’s not it has a new name ☝️ 🤓”

[real field]

Can we define what exactly makes a double album? I think people are not on the same page on what defines it. At first I thought a double album was albums that are released basically at the same time

[blissful yoke]

idk

[karmic lake]

I think it’s a double album because it was released within a year of the last album and for tøp specifically it’s a double album because it’s being released within the same era

[blissful yoke]

i think it is a loose album

independent from clancy

[karmic lake]

yeah it is a different album but I still stand by my definition above /lh /nm

[graceful hill]

Sorry for being pedantic but it was announced within a year but released over a year later /lh

Or will be released I should say

[karmic lake]

yeah true

[brazen leaf]

its a sister album to clancy but i still count it as a double

same era, same logo

[karmic lake]

Do y’all think if they win an ama tonight they will acknowledge breach?

[brazen leaf]

maybeee

i hope they win even tho tyler has said he doesnt like fan voting

i still voted anyway

cause they deserve recognition this era

[karmic lake]

They always deserve recognition

[brazen leaf]

of course but this era has been insane for them

so much work

and success

[karmic lake]

right!

[brazen leaf]

imagine if this actually happens

i think it would be an insane ending but also very controversial

if we just end back at the HDS car

and it was all a dream in clancy's head

continues the cycle

[ivory radish]

Imma be SO fr, if we get the 'oh it was actually a dream lolz' ending I am going to crash out

it's so cliche

and removes the impact of everything that happened

[brazen leaf]

agreed

but it would kind of be insane and crazy

like

idk

it wont happen

i cant see tyler doing that

[ivory radish]

me either

we're all too invested

[bright tinsel]

Right? But also look at Tyler's hair length.

I find it odd that this cover doesn't have the title on it.

I also want Josh going complex on the drums this time, kinda like Overcompensate.

[rugged hamlet]

Yeah my mom said this too!

[bright tinsel]

I wonder how much of this was reactionary, and how much of it was planned.

Part of me says reactionary, because:

• Tyler was "drowning in logistics" while making Clancy and probably ran out of time / couldn't find a way to make it the lore-heavy closer of the storyline, while also trying to include so many songs as a sort of life update or retrospective on his life decisions.
• The photoshoots are new.
• The announcement tied in with Blurry10, sort of like the fanbase had been talking about and hoping for.

Part of me says planned, because:

• The Breach morse code was in the letters from the start of the last leg.
• They announced the album earlier than they needed to, accelerating the pattern of the eye and announcing it 3 weeks out from the first song, which makes me think they got impatient.
• Breach is a "full-length album" which indicates that it will be longer than Clancy and will be the closer for the story. Also, I'm sure we'll know whether this is accurate based off of The Contract when it drops, but it seems like they're gonna put their all into this one.

[dawn wigeon]

Same

[fiery current]

how does that mean it’s gonna be longer than clancy? doesn’t that just mean it’s gonna be above 8 tracks

[bright tinsel]

Clancy was never called "full length" - and it clocks in as being their second shortest album.

[fiery current]

oh dang never knew that

it’s the same length as vessel is that not full length?

just curious what the terminology is for that

[bright tinsel]

It wasn't promoted as such - it very much could have been, but they deliberately chose not to.

You're correct as in it technically is because it has over 8 tracks, but it's curious that they never dubbed it as such.

[fiery current]

ah ok

i think that’s more evidence for all this being clumped into one double album if the second part is being sold as a full length LP

[bright tinsel]

I just hope this isn't a trend, with Trench being their second longest album then SAI and Clancy being relatively short.

[fiery current]

like as a separate release

i mean it definitely aligns with the overcompensation he talked about for each album

so i’m sure he’s overcompensating for the shorter length of SAI with a double

[bright tinsel]

My main hope for this album is cohesiveness. I want the songs to have a consistent sonical vibe like past albums did. Clancy stayed cohesive with its messaging and narrative, but the songs are all so varied from each other. Vessel had dance/electronic throughout, Blurryface was more pop, Trench had heavy basslines and ethereal instrumentsl (& vocals), Scaled & Icy had heavy pianos and lots of guitars - so Breach needs a "vibe".

If Breach is as inconsistent as Clancy, it won't make me enjoy it less. It's just that I'll enjoy it more if it gives off a consistent atmosphere front to back.

[fiery current]

i think it will. this project has been on the back burner since trench and was made as a response to it, while clancy was made in response to SAI and is more of the flashback before we fight

so yeah i need heavy rock and screams

[bright tinsel]

Same!!!

"Clancy is the flashback before we fight" I love that idea.

Especially because so much of Clancy is lyrically retrospective. Even songs like Overcompensate feel like they're looking back - as in, Clancy has already flown by the dangerous bend symbol. He's already decided on his plan.

[bright tinsel]

https://www.reddit.com/r/twentyonepilots/comments/1b284sm/guys_its_most_likely_fake_lol/

Wow, people REALLY thought this was fake.

[distant beacon]

At the time, a song titled The craving with a subtitle like “Jenna’s version” sounded kinda nuts so that was the main reason people didn’t believe it 😭 it was kinda in the same ish uncanny valley like door keys, toad barrow, Lloyd, etc 💀

[rugged hamlet]

Not posting this to bash this person bc I might have thought the same thing had I saw this idk but I just thought it was funny and ironic

[brazen leaf]

reactionary to what tho

[ivory radish]

I mean tbf SAI

[smoky turtle]

I mean they have stated that sometimes they change or alter lore if they hear rumors or something they like🤷

[brazen leaf]

yeah but i doubt they'd react with an entire album?

this has definitely been planned

[cloud lynx]

i'd argue Clancy has synths

lots of synths

i hope Breach has more cohesiveness, and synths

lol

[cloud lynx]

(i still agree Clancy lacks cohesiveness tho)

[cedar yacht]

First 6 tracks one after another is cohesive, then it just kinda gets w a h

I adore clancy so much, its my 2nd fav after TRENCH, but really what makes it that is the fact that the first 6 songs are just so amazing
Navigating and at the risk as well are just splendid
But other than that i dont like the craving and i... can stand/like lavish/oldies station/snap back and paladin

no wait, paladin is amazing

nvm

[brazen leaf]

the first 6 tracks on clancy are perfection

such a strong first half

incredible

[fiery current]

the album would be perfect for me if they just replaced lavish with a more fast paced song or rap

really grown to love the 2nd half of the album especially snap back and oldies

this is my reordering of the album, in my opinion it flows way better and makes much more sense from a story perspective

snap back -> navigating -> NS -> oldies -> paladin is such a strong ordering it’s crazy

plus with lavish and ATROFD (the more experimental ones) before snap back it adds a third meaning that we’re “snapping back” to the important stuff after going on a tangent

the only downside of this ordering is that the 2nd track isn’t as explosive as NS but it still keeps the same tone of overcompensate and goes smoothly into backslide

[graceful hill]

Is it a hot take to have Clancy as a favorite album

[rain birch]

nope, but its a hot take to have sai as a fav album

[teal compass]

It’s probably a bit less common as a favorite than some of the other albums but definitely feels like an understandable opinion at least

Not quite a hot take I can understand this being a favorite even if it’s not my personal favorite album

Sai is in a weird place because during sai era it was definitely a hot take for it to be your favorite but I feel like recently sai has had a resurgence in opinion among fans and you see quite a large amount of support for it

Same thing happened with blurryface though back in bf era it was widely considered too commercial and their worst album among fans and then it had a huge upswing in love for the album as newer clikkies assimilated into the fan base

[rain birch]

rab as a fav album is definitely a hot take

[fiery current]

for me it follows a pattern where i didn’t like blurryface a ton when i first listened but with the context of trench i love it, same with SAI i didn’t understand it first but after clancy came out it’s become my 3rd fav below trench and clancy

[modern atlas]

I’ve been a double album believer from the start, even finding potentially significant dates, but honestly i’m not sure if this is the double album we were thinking was coming in june

like it’s still super cool that another album is coming but this is a bit of a stretch from the 2024 double albim rheory

[real field]

RAB is probably top 3 for me if not more

[compact arrow]

A lot of their albums have a strong first half imo

[rain birch]

wait what? why's that a stretch?

[storm fable]

The theory was, that clancy wasn't the end and we'd get a continuation in the form of a whole new album much sooner than the expected cycle

which is pretty much what happened

[modern atlas]

I feel like the idea last year was an album very shortly after clancy and that it would have very similar themes. Obviously we can't tell yet but this album is already starting to stray from those themes

[brazen leaf]

this is so true

jumpsuit, levitate, morph, my blood, chlorine

what an absolutely perfect album start

[rain birch]

what i've been believing last year is that there will be a double album, meaning paladin strait isn't the ending of this overarching story, and clancy ultimus capitulus 25 sold me on the idea that we're getting a new album in 2025

[lean mango]

It wasn't. As someone who was a double album believer from day one, the theory was only that there would be a second album in this era (more or less) to finish off the lore. Timing wasn't specific, though after we got the Clancy Ultimus Capitulus hint and it seemed to point towards 6 25 I thought a rollout might start on June 25th last year

But the theory never hinged on a particular timing or branding, just that the second album exists

[modern atlas]

obviously there will be another album eventually, but a "second" album implies that it will be some sort of sequel to clancy. This seems to have its own themes from what I can tell

[lean mango]

The only thing the theory predicted was that Clancy wasn't really the end, another album would finish the story, and that this second album would come out much quicker than the normal TOP album wait

In fact I was constantly citing Kid A and Amnesiac by Radiohead as an example of a double album a year apart with branding that doesn't look that similar

Breach is a lot more similar, it has the same outfits, same logo with slight changes, and mostly the same colors

In fact it was more the deniers saying that the follow up was a lot more likely to just be a Clancy deluxe, or had to be specifically Clancy-branded because they said it's the end

Also like, double album believers were laughed at and called delusional for a year, idk why people have to grasp at straws and nitpick to find reasons they can still be wrong

[compact trout]

It is clear from the branding of Breach that this is indeed a second half to a double album

[cloud lynx]

even if it is sold as a separate album

it's just so obvious that it's like the second half of an album

[cloud lynx]

and they might even make a bundle lol, like an actual double album

that'd be a missed opportunity if they don't do that

even as an optional thing

honestly tho i wish Breach was not marketed as a separate album but more like an actual definition-accurate "double album"
(just bc i don't want Breach to overshadow Clancy lol)

but i'm still extremely happy we're getting more TOP music

also, if Clancy is supposed to be the "weaker" tracks overall, and Breach is where they kept the "real deal", the strongest tracks, then what the fuck is Breach gonna be like

we've seen how good Clancy was already

[fathom charm]

it's reallllly hard to determine what breach is gonna be like after clancy, cuz i feel like clancy was literally about clancy, the person, like what he is like, and breach will be (or should be i guess) the lore concluding which is two different things

idk if this makes any sense sorry xd

[lean mango]

Tbh I think they wouldn't release an album they weren't very happy with so I think Clancy is still top quality

[cloud lynx]

Tyler himself said he believed in those tracks

in the video where he announced the delay

[fathom charm]

ye no doubt, but in the end he is gonna probably use the stronger tracks on the final album (if there really are some tracks that was made before/during clancy)

[cloud lynx]

i think it's also that maybe Breach had more time in the oven maybe? if Clancy rly was made in 2023 and Breach was started earlier

[fathom charm]

yes yes

[cloud lynx]

(at least the Clancy we got)

(cuz like he had the idea of an album about the protagonist since Trench era, so maybe Breach was supposed to be Clancy until they decided to split it up?)

[fathom charm]

oh man i cant with these two u never know for sure

every time i think i figured something out a new question pops up

[cloud lynx]

he even already had the idea of overcompensation btw, probably from the same interview
compensating for the previous album
and eventually we got SAI overcompensating for Trench, and Clancy overcompensating for SAI

technically Trench was also compensating for BF

[fathom charm]

that's interesting, i was actually thinking about how (to me at least) trench is not overcompensating for bf, but i do think they are completely different

they are just not opposites

like the others

but it's only because of sai

( dont get me wrong im a huge sai fan, i joined the clique with sai)

[cloud lynx]

im kind of a BF/Trench clikkie personally lol

i became rly obsessed in 2018 just before Trench, i just don't remember when exactly, tho i remember already listening to them in 2017 maybe

[fathom charm]

good good, honestly i cant pick a fav (maybe clancy) everytime i try to decide i end up loving all of them the same (i just meant i got to love them since sai, but i know them since trench, just for some reason back then i didnt get invested, but i did like some songs)

now i love all of the songs

like truly all of them

[cloud lynx]

Trench has the strongest emotional value to me still to this day

[fathom charm]

fair, i can see why

i was just too young to understand then probably, i resonate with the meanings more now

[cloud lynx]

SAI is less my jam overall most of the time but it has some of the best TOP tracks ever imo

[fathom charm]

yessss, right? i understand why a lot of the fans dont like the sound of the album, but come on, choker, the outside, no chances??????

u cant say no to them

mulberry street shy away

ahhh love them

[cloud lynx]

even Formidable, one of the most hated tracks, is good and even cute

it's just like, less my vibe

but like omg u can't dislike her

unless u hate fun and joy

[fathom charm]

and lowkey im the biggest saturday stan i think (i know a lot of people dont like that one but its just a vibeeeee :((()

[cloud lynx]

even Redecorate (especially Redecorate)

[fathom charm]

now that one holds a special place in my heart honestly thats my favourite "jenna song" of all the others (okay timh also)

[cloud lynx]

(i love Redecorate so much)

[fathom charm]

oh how could i forget

[cloud lynx]

(Redecorate my beloved)

(with Shy Away)

[cloud lynx]

i remember this one dropping

like

i mean i remember all of them dropping but i mean like

yeah

how could u hate that song </3

[fathom charm]

ahhh i was hoping you would say that

first time i heard it immediate love

[cloud lynx]

it was so refreshing

so dancy

[fathom charm]

vibe vibe vibe thats all i can say to it, sure its not the deepest song but come oooon its a jam

[dawn kettle]

Sai is a entire vibe

[lean mango]

Redecorate is my fav TOP song of all time, Formidable is easily my #2 on SAI tho

But despite being a fan since before Blurryface, Clancy is my favorite album overall

[karmic lake]

How much do y’all want to bet they didn’t televise the two amas the pilots just won because Tyler is being suspenseful with breach stuff

[compact arrow]

Just had to drive through a cloud for 20 minutes

Never living in the mountains again brother

WTF IS THAT

[lyric raptor]

not a double album theory, I thinks

[arctic karma]

Hey guys! I have a theory I’d like to share concerning the upcoming single “The Contract”

I apologize if someone else has already brought this up I haven’t been on this channel much since the album announcement

[teal compass]

honestly i kinda think tyler just fully didnt expect to win at all given his comment about them probably never winning awards again on the release stream, them not showing up could be an intentional pr move but i kinda feel like they just didnt think they needed too and will be blindsided by this win- would have been a great promo oppurtunity to do something cryptic and suspensefull like in 2017

he seems to have lost a lot of confidence in their commercial success after sai and was already super surprised just by how well Clancy did much less winning awards

[karmic lake]

yeah that’s also completely plausible

[arctic karma]

Okay this is kinda wild but stay with me.
So I think “The Contract” and “The Line” are connected. I think lore-wise “The Line” is Clancy basically telling Torchbearer he’s crossing the line and going all-in with taking down DEMA, no matter what it turns Clancy into.

I think “The Contract” is gonna be a similar concept story-wise but instead from Torchbearer’s perspective. In the song (this is a theory) we’ll see Torchbearer and Clancy laying out their plan, then we’ll see Torchbearer’s reaction to Clancy deciding to go past the point of no return and how he decides to deal with it (will he continue to help Clancy or will he abandon him?)

On release day for “The Contract” we’ll get a MV for the single as well as a new lore-related MV for “The Line”, showing us what I described above. Then the next song they release from “Breach” would be the first song on the album and the MV for it would pick up right where we left off with Paladin.

I’ll admit this is far-fetched and we have basically no evidence to suggest this is what they’re gonna do, I just think it would be a cool and natural way for them to give us more insight on Clancy and Torchbearer’s relationship before entering the finale of the lore

[compact trout]

Well The LIne was written and made during a small break in touring, so it would be something they made after both of these albums. There's legit zero evidence that anything on Breach was made after the Clancy sessions since all the lore hints before Clancy and Tyler asking us all if that was it after they premiered in full pointed to a second part. But I do think The Line isn't just for that TV show, but also part of the lore for TOP

[compact arrow]

@lyric raptor top 5 staff

However you are not safe from my (reasonable) trolling

[gilded cape]

man i need that the contract snippet like i need oxygen

[boreal portal]

according to y’all when will there be a breach tour for eu ?

are we looking at next year

?

[brazen leaf]

well its not 100% that they will tour the EU again for breach

but if they did

probably 2026

im mentally preparing myself for a US only tour

so i dont get disappointed

[feral acorn]

this just ruined my morning

please i need a crumb of twenty one pilots to be in europe or i will lose all hope

[cloud lynx]

i honestly think there's no way what's basically the final battle tour is not gonna be as big if not bigger than the Clancy tour

including by number of countries

[brazen leaf]

i hope but idkk they never went to europe twice during the bandito tour and stuff so im not getting hopeful

[boreal portal]

that’s sad cause i wanted to see them before the story ends

i’m from mauritius so i need to fly to uk to be able to see them

[cloud lynx]

but wasn't there shows in Europe planned for 2020?

i know there were shows planned for 2020, and i'm pretty sure not just in the US

(but they were cancelled due to Covid)

[cloud lynx]

someone plz confirm or tell me i'm wrong

[cloud lynx]

but also it's just different this time

we're talking about not just a second "Clancy tour" but technically touring "another" album, plus it's supposedly gonna be the final arc

even if they just announce a US-only tour at first, i'm sure they will come to Europe eventually, even if it's later in 2026

and remember, they apparently have plans for "2026 and beyond"

[brazen leaf]

yeah its definitely possible i just dont wat to get my hopes up and then be let down

but im still excited for another tour

[brazen leaf]

i think in russia yeah

and maybe other parts of europe

[compact arrow]

Until the conflict between Ukraine and Russia ends, I sadly don’t think they’ll be playing there

Which I feel so bad for the Russian fans cause that’s lame asf

And yeah this is a final tour in terms of lore so I think they’ll do a big tour again similar to Clancy

I hope they add some Asian spots

Big following in Asia and they haven’t gotten any love since BF world tour 🤣

[wide jolt]

It probably means they won't film there as well 😣

I want the old dema back

[stark fiber]

not a full blown Europe leg, but they had their first stadium show in Russia scheduled for 2020, then it got pushed back to 2021, they realized that was still too soon with covid restrictions so it got pushed back to 2022, then they cancelled it due to the war in Russia

[stark fiber]

response to this message

but to my knowledge they had no shows even scheduled from January-May 2020

then i think they had like only 3 Europe shows scheduled from June-July 2020

[cedar yacht]

They also stated that they planned the beginning of the new are after Moscow 2021

[karmic lake]

Y’all I just realized: the contract is releasing on Jenna’s birthday- now this doesn’t have to do with anything other than I just saw it and remembered that’s also the day the LOC ARG started in 2020

they‘re only posting these on twitter right?

[compact arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/yikes-cringe-fake-smile-gif-14838421114574087139

[karmic lake]

yes I think they’re posting a bigger portion of the photos on Facebook (I don’t know I never go on facebook) and different pics on twitter and Instagram

[karmic lake]

do we think theyre do anything tommorow? it will be one week since the breach announcement

[weak thorn]

I have a feeling we'll get the rest of the tour photos, but probably nothing big.

I don't wanna get my hopes high.

[molten sandal]

just woke up from a dream where they released a fucking quintalbum and one of them was about soup

i think i might hyperfixating too hard

im glad were getting breach

[lean mango]

lmaoooo

It still doesn't feel real to me

I spent a year hoping this would be real, thinking there was decent evidence of it, but also not daring to really consider the idea that it might actually happen to avoid the disappointment if it wasn't

feeling kinda delusional

and it's here, it's confirmed

I don't think it will truly hit me until The Contract comes out

[graceful hill]

i had a dream during the sai rollout where they released a song titled Mat Dog's Playground

i dont remember if it was that song but one of the songs was explicit

[stuck frigate]

I woke up from a dream just now where they accidentally released breach on spotify early

And half of it was with another random artist doing the songs instead

[fleet locust]

lol

[compact arrow]

I just had a dream that this server turned into a FNAF fan server

(Not a fnaf fan, no clue why I had this dream)

[desert smelt]

that did happen

on april fools

[rain birch]

so uh.. is it too late to start liking fairly local and lane boy or am I safe

[compact arrow]

Too late?

Dawg you can start liking music whenever you want

[rain birch]

i’m joking lol just realizing after 10 years i’m finally appreciating these songs

[limber jasper]

I AM NOT SICK ANYMORE

I AM FULLY RECOVERED

AND I AM READY FOR THE CONTRACT.

[boreal portal]

watching the last show footage why does tyler look so angry/sad

[karmic lake]

My guess is the angry is probably acting and sad is probably because tour was over

[compact arrow]

Oh also something I noticed

Go look at when twenty one pilots YT was made

And go look at Breach’s release date as of right now

[brazen leaf]

yep

[lean mango]

I'm honestly confused about why they haven't formally announced the release date

[storm fable]

My only guess is they want to be 100% sure they won't have to delay it first, so that it's not another clancy delay situation?

[compact trout]

Probably all revealed on the 12th is my assumption

[karmic lake]

my thought is maybe we get a crumb tommorow and a tease the week after like the i am clancy video

[lean mango]

probably would've been today if that was happening

[karmic lake]

yeah probably

and come to think of it they would probably want to wait until a week before or day of to just drop everything like they did for clancy

its also a lot cooler

[karmic lake]

something i just realized: its not exactly correct but by releasing Clancy in May 2024 and then releasing Breach in September 2025 1 year and 4 months later they are almost breaking the cycle literally in half

[copper tide]

please let there be an i am torchbearer video

it would be so awesome

[fiery current]

i am tb (taco bell)

[stark fiber]

i mean i feel like thats not it. realistically. no one really announces an album 4 months in advance. exact album release date (which is rumored to be September 5th) should be announced when The Contract drops. along with the full tracklist most likely

idk if rumor is even the right word. cause it said the release date was September 5th for some ppl that pre ordered a physical copy

theres a high chance September 5th is the release

also 85 days after The Contract drops would be September 5th. 85 days after Overcompensate dropped is when Clancy dropped

[brazen leaf]

its september 5th most likely

thats what it says when i pre-ordered a cd

[mossy drift]

I don't think there will be a delay this time. I am pretty sure Breach was already recorded (maybe not finished/mastered) when Clancy was released.

I am wondering if they do a video for every song again. If so, that would be the only reason for a delay maybe. If they want to release all the videos on the same day Breach comes out, like they did with Clancy.

[brazen leaf]

yeah i doubt they'll delay

[lyric wing]

I really hope they make a mv for each song

[lyric wing]

Coincidences? I think not

[lyric wing]

You mean instead of the three usual years?

[boreal portal]

TORCHBEARERS THEME

IS THE CONTRACT

[bright tinsel]

6/25 ended up being true. June 2025 -> The Contract.

[woven prawn]

I agree with this becuase right now as the pre order is a store exclusive they don't need to announce a release date or worry about tracklist leaks from images, but once the single comes out my guess is retailers will put it up for pre order with all the variants and then all the info will come out, just like with Clancy

[brazen leaf]

OMGGG I CANT WAIT

[jagged fiber]

I got notification that blurryface posted something I clicked it immediately and its gone, was it old noti? or am I delusional

[trail bay]

Ayooooo blurryface

[stuck frigate]

I cant tell what hes saying

[trail bay]

I check the doors check the windows I think?

[stuck frigate]

Hurl the blinds? i have no idea

[trail bay]

And both of mine?

[weary sage]

I hear both Lying or line idk

[boreal portal]

watch him leak the song

watch us go full circle

[trail bay]

Omg leakkkkinggg

🎈

Close the blinds!!!

[graceful hill]

pull the blinds

this sounds like a ritn sequel ngl

[stuck frigate]

I was close 😔

[formal belfry]

Hahaha haha

Imagine a Fnaf x Twenty One Pilots collab

Hahahahhahaa

Imagine

Check the doors, check the windows, then close the blinds

https://tenor.com/view/five-nights-at-freddys-fnaf-fnaf4-flashlight-looking-around-gif-27526132

[trail bay]

People in theories reversed the video and got “buckle up”

[cerulean umbra]

I hear: I check the doors, check the windows then/and pull/fill the blank, pull/fill the blank (repeating)

[onyx dust]

security breach

[trail bay]

Also that chat is pointing out this is the opposite of not today: “pull the curtains down windows open I’ll make a noise”

[brazen leaf]

OMGGG

SO CREEPY

[graceful hill]

pull the blinds

[brazen leaf]

IM SCARED

[trail bay]

Me too lol

[brazen leaf]

“check the windows, check the doors, close the blinds”

[limber jasper]

blurryface.. just pulled an Mandela Catalogue

actually blurryface just pulled an whole analog horror thing

that is fucking scary

[rugged hamlet]

Oh my god I was just freaking out from the video and there are words slowed DOWNNN?? 😩😩😩 why do these boys do this to us!!!!

[limber jasper]

i have no idea man

they love to torture us to DEATH

RAAH

[rugged hamlet]

And it was tweeted by BLURRYFACE?!!!

Bruh:

Catching up is wild man

[limber jasper]

i know lol

[rugged hamlet]

So Blurryface tweeted that today? trying to catch up

[limber jasper]

yeah he did

[rugged hamlet]

[limber jasper]

while i was still WAKING UP.

how Fun is that

[fiery current]

why would pookieface do this to me on my thursday morning

[limber jasper]

on OUR thursday morning 😭

beacuse i was fucking working out

til this happened

[trail bay]

So here’s my question the tune and the speed at the end of the video REALLY reminds me of something musically and I can’t put my finger on it

I’m thinking it’s either a song,
Or the concert transition after jumpsuit, or both?

[limber jasper]

who knows not gonna lie..

i cant put my mind to it since i am recovering from my workout lol

[prisma shoal]

OH MY GOSH IT WAS A VIDEO?!

[granite olive]

Also, keeping in mind the way the paladin video was released, and blurry giving the hint with the digital remains, anything could be anywhere at this point.

[limber jasper]

thats true,

[trail bay]

Guys I just realized that in the concert they transition from paladin strait to jumpsuit DOES THIS SIGNIFY FIGHTING

[rugged hamlet]

This is just straight up what he posted right like not slowed down or anything?

[granite olive]

Correct.

[trail bay]

Yeppp

[limber jasper]

yeah

[rugged hamlet]

Ffs

[granite olive]

Could be a long shot, has anyone looked at the routines video doors etc for anything ?

[limber jasper]

i did not thought of that all the sudden ._.

[trail bay]

Some people have been talking about it but I’m not sure if a conclusion was reached. They also referred to the lyrics being opposed to those of not today

[rain birch]

im 99% sure the visual for bf tweet is part of the contract mv

[trail bay]

Also Twitter is saying that the torchbearer theme from the concert will be the contract 😭

[limber jasper]

that i highly doubt

[granite olive]

🤣 with them everything could be something or nothing.

[lean mango]

Yea, I'm going to guess this is a bit of the MV and some of the lyrics

[trail bay]

I would not put it past them for it to be something on the record but who knows 😭

[rugged hamlet]

Why they gotta be such a tease

This is truly going to be a summer of teasing

[limber jasper]

the summer of us having heart attacks from teases

[gilded cape]

them announcing an album in september is evil

like being hyped for september pisses me off cause the semester starts

[cedar yacht]

My birthday is September

The 11th

[bright tinsel]

Same feeling here...rip

[gilded cape]

mine is in september 10th, hell yeah

i'll be twenty one... am i becoming lore?

[limber jasper]

september is gonna be a busy year for me,

[gilded cape]

so busy it evolved from a month to a full year

[limber jasper]

for real

[cedar yacht]

Which year ?

[bright tinsel]

GUYS! Have we noticed that Tyler is wearing the BREACH outfit in that Blurryface video?

For me, that really cements this being a new music video.

[limber jasper]

I NOTICED THIS

i should have BROUGHt this up

[bright tinsel]

It has to be. Unless it's a photoshoot or teaser, but then why the lighting?

TOP loves doing teasers on Thursdays...same time next week?

[limber jasper]

maybe?

i dont know

[shadow cipher]

LEVEL UP: You are now level 3!

[limber jasper]

its possible

[bright tinsel]

Next Thursday will also be exactly a week out from The Contract - which is the same timeline for teasers dropping for the Clancy singles.

[limber jasper]

truee..

yeah i am pretty sure we will get a another teaser then

[bright tinsel]

Unless this is our "teaser", in which case I won't complain, because the atmosphere is amazing.

[limber jasper]

yeah

[bright tinsel]

I'm placing my bets - The Contract will either be hard rock (like Jumpsuit/Navigating) or dark rap (like Levitate/Overcompensate), no in-between 😅

[limber jasper]

levitate is my goat so i do hope it's dark rap fr

but i love my hard rock so i hope it's eaither

of those

[bright tinsel]

Now that Tyler knows how to play guitar, I want him to go all out with a heavy album. I felt a little jipped with Clancy not having as much hard rock representation as I had hoped, but it's also a near-perfect album, so I trust Tyler's vision regardless of where it leads.

[limber jasper]

Yes

i swear if it is heavy ima be headbanging til i break my neck like a true metalhead would to

do*

[bright tinsel]

Breach definitely has to potential to be Trench's true successor - a grungey, dark, lore-heavy album that doesn't pull any emotional punches.

As much as waiting til September for the album will be difficult, I honestly believe The Contract will be one of their greatests songs OAT, so it should definitely hold me over.

[limber jasper]

yeah

[bright tinsel]

I don't think they would lead off a double album with a weak track, it's definitely gonna be a standout banger.

[limber jasper]

100%

[bright tinsel]

In fact, the whole double album is probably going to be top-notch, there's a reason they saved it for last. :p

[limber jasper]

i mean if i waited long for like both clancy and bring me the horizons post human nex gen and eminem's death of slim shady and KDOT's GNX then i am sure i can wait til september

[bright tinsel]

Was BMTH's new album good?

I still need to listen to it-

[limber jasper]

yeah

it is

i enjoyed it

[bright tinsel]

This is good news.

[brazen leaf]

GUYSSS I CANT WAIT

[limber jasper]

the fact it came out the same time as clancy made me miss it lmfao

beacuse i was watching the clancy live stream that time

[brazen leaf]

the vibes im getting so far is they have a LOT of faith in this album

the cryptic silence etc

they are excited

[ivory radish]

yes

[bright tinsel]

It's giving Trench rollout.

[ivory radish]

the fact that the tb theme in the Manchester show video transitioned into a buildup

they're comfortable to tease us

cause they know it's gonna deliver

[limber jasper]

it doseee

[brazen leaf]

yepp

they're very comfortable clearly

[ivory radish]

telling our pfps apart is rough 😭

[limber jasper]

LMFAO I KNOW

[bright tinsel]

Also, I'm getting these vibes from this part of the clip:

[ivory radish]

I drew mine so I can tell slightly, but it's still so similar 😭

[limber jasper]

😭

[ivory radish]

honestly the placement of the mic in the first picture looks like he's sitting down at a piano

I hope so

[bright tinsel]

It definitely feels like Clancy is back in Dema, whether willingly or not - boxing himself in by closing out all influences or eyes - is this a reference to the basement production of Trench?

[ivory radish]

imagine he's playing the tb theme on the piano at the start

it's not just the backing track but something he's performing

[brazen leaf]

contract mv gonna be so good

it looks crazyyy

[molten sandal]

AGRHHHG IM SO EXCITED IM GONNA BE JUMPING AROUND WALLS WHEN THE CONTRACT COMES OUT

[bright tinsel]

I think it's very possible the TB theme gets used on this album, I could see it being the intro to a song and then leading into something heavy.

[molten sandal]

the tb theme is so creepy i love it

[limber jasper]

that's what i was thinking about

beacuse that sounds epic as it should

[bright tinsel]

Josh needs to go crazy on the drums for this album! I'm talking Overcompensate levels of complex, but on every track.

[ivory radish]

I mean did you see the video they posted from the Manchester show just earlier? the TB theme plays and then it goes into footage from what looks like the same mv as the Blurryface twitter video

with instrumental buildup

[brazen leaf]

also who tf is it speaking in the blurry video

MANNN I WANT JUNE 12TH TO HURRY UP

CANT WAIT

[bright tinsel]

No I haven't- could you link it?

[bright tinsel]

So....they have a clean recording of the Torchbearer theme...and they're playing it in a teaser for the next single...

[ivory radish]

and at the end it does an instrumental buildup

which wasn't played at the shows

it's absolutely the intro to The Contract

it has to be

[limber jasper]

yeah

it has to be

mann it has To BEEE>.

[boreal portal]

yes

[bright tinsel]

Yeah, it's connected. I also noticed this version seems to have more layers, like more - WOAH WAIT TYLER HEADBANGING AT THE END???

[ivory radish]

and it looks like he's rapping

look in #verified-theorists they upped the exposure

[maiden onyx]

also if you pause the video the band tweeted on the last few frames, it looks like the stole that tyler wears is going into his shoulder and not around the back of his neck. so i feel like they teased a snippet of the new mv too

[ivory radish]

oh for sure

[bright tinsel]

It's the Breach outfit! He has the braided wallet chain too!

[ivory radish]

yep

I am so ready

[limber jasper]

i cant wait for the critics to shit on the boys

beacuse they hate eerie music in general

[boreal portal]

why would they lol

[tender musk]

probably call it "fake deep" "edgy" idk same as usual?

[maiden onyx]

clancy won awards and tyler didn’t think it would, what do we think about beach? well it be to niche for the public?

[limber jasper]

it's possible who knows

[bright tinsel]

I think that the boys don't care about awards for "Breach", this one is for the fans.

[limber jasper]

maybe breach will win awards who knows

[tender musk]

yeah, there has been so much love and planning for this whole era

they are doing this purely for the ones that stuck around

[limber jasper]

yeah true,

[bright tinsel]

If the Torchbearer theme is really the intro to The Contract, and gets played in full...are we looking at a 5+ minute song?

This is the final chapter to the story...Tyler, I'm begging...PLEASE make these songs atmospheric and lengthy. Starting off the album with a long orchestral interlude before building up to hard rock or rap would be so ballsy.

Screw short songs, screw mass appeal, we want WORLD BUILDING.

[limber jasper]

WEEE NEEEEEEDDD WORLLDDDD BUUILLLDDDIINNGGG

RAAAAHHHHHHH

[fathom lantern]

Yall remember from the digital remains how certain numbers kept cropping up like 11, 25, etc. I bet it’ll come out on one of those dates in September since 9 kept repeating too

[bright tinsel]

6/25 = The Contract comes out June 2025.

That one's solved, we were right about it and we deserve the credit ‼️

[fathom lantern]

^^^

But also I remember 14 and 11 coming up too

[limber jasper]

PLease if they do ima be happy

[bright tinsel]

I'm praying that they do, they've been teasing that kind of a buildup since Heavydirtysoul. From Jumpsuit's metalcore-esque breakdowns, to Tyler's metal screams in the backing vocals of Shy Away (the half-time part at the end), the live version of Message Man, and then the hard-punk tone of Navigating...they could do it! I know they could!

[limber jasper]

it would make my metalhead heart happy

[bright tinsel]

Same here.

[limber jasper]

so fingers crossed of course but ima also keep my expectations low

and not get over excited

[bright tinsel]

Same, since the mere existence of Next Semester as an alt-rock song combined with Tyler now playing electric guitar made me think Clancy would be a full-fledged rock album - which wasn't the case.

[limber jasper]

yeah

[bright tinsel]

Clancy has a lot of rock elements but really pulls its punches (except for Navigating and ATRoFD), it feels like he didn't want the album to be too intense I guess.

[limber jasper]

yeah

[bright tinsel]

But now that mass appeal has been "kicked to the curb", maybe they can go all out?

[karmic lake]

The first thing I thought of when I woke up and saw the band and blurry tweet I was like HOLY SHIT I WAS RIGHT IM NEVER RIGHT

[limber jasper]

it is likely i mean breach is the final album of the story soo..

[bright tinsel]

Yeah, Clancy needs to lock in 💀

[limber jasper]

fr man 💀

[compact arrow]

Yeah and just in case someone tries to say it’s not from the new outfit it is

The Clancy tape is short and you can see the cut off on both sides

[limber jasper]

yeah

[bright tinsel]

Also red wallet chain - which was an even easier giveaway

[shadow cipher]

LEVEL UP: You are now level 12!

[limber jasper]

yeah'

[maiden onyx]

THANK YOU

Guys the new video on their Instagram 😭😭 that’s gotta be the contract I’m so excited and also like why is it so freaking creepy helppp

[bright tinsel]

I love the thought of Torchbearer's theme being The Contract.

No way, we both said basically the same thing lol.

[gilded cape]

2004

[compact arrow]

New pfp go hard

[bright tinsel]

Okay guys, let's take a vote here!

Do we think that The Contract music video takes place in Tyler's mind? A sort of "domain expansion" where Clancy manifests a microphone, stage, etc. to express his feelings at that point in time? ()

Or do we think that The Contract music video will take place on a physical stage somewhere in Dema, where Clancy is producing music for the citizens - whether it be rebellious or controlled? ( )

[arctic ocean]

no way its op

[compact arrow]

[trim bough]

Okay, this freaked me out. This is so old.

[bright tinsel]

Sometime's Tyler's mannerisms/sayings end up in his music...this could be one such case.

[arctic ocean]

step up for me 🤨

[bright tinsel]

@sour kestrel Sorry for ping. It's a wallet chain though.

[sour kestrel]

It's okay! I've never seen a wallet chain like that
