That first reaction was an oopsie sorry
Ode to sleep is my favorite song but Clear is beautiful
it makes sense due to the eyes and all the stuff
clear it's really underappreciated
I never listened to clear so ig this is my sign to go listen to it
Chlorine. I wanna know what I thought of it's content then
And the demon voice, and the looks he gave 😭🫣
I don't know why there wasn't a live concert for the song (I think)
Nico needs some moisturizer in palden strait mv
Probably because it’s a rab song ✊😔
Live in the RAB era
I guess because of the meaning of the song where Tyler "stopped evangelizing us"
it's more personal to tyler i guess you could say in this song tyler makes metaphors of why he's chrsitian and wanting to express that but at the same time not wanting to, and then the rap is like "if you make introspection you can discover who yo really are and the answer would be crystal clear"
neon gravestones, that's what really got me into the band
and hit me so hard that time
kitchen sink probably. lyrics of that first verse hit hard
I was 3 when that came out so 🤭
time to say goodbye
Morph, I remember loving that from the first Spotify preview I heard
neon gravestones
Routines in the night
Morph or the outside. I like the atmospheric sound.
probably taxi cab
Ooh for atmospheric sound I love Bandito
Hey same! I can't wait to get crushed in the pit hahaha
pet cheetah
was so thrown off by the song at first but man does that song go INSANE
I would like to listen to palidan strait with the music vid for the first time
Like having not listened to the song before then the first time listening would be with the mv
Bc I thought the song was mid at first but now that the mv came out it’s one of my fav Clancy songs
I LITERALLY CANT CHOOSE AHHHHHHH HELP!!!!!
Redecorate
ode to sleep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Heathens
for the first time? redecorate. that song made me cryyyyyyyyy
routines in the night
Semi-automatic, the run and go, fake you out. (I'm back again)
Jumpsuit - my introduction to tøp
Bandito
Ride
no way I could pick just one
overcompensate or the craving
I think I'd have to go with next semester or kitchen sink... WAIT NO I PICK SEMI AUTOMATIC
I can’t pick just one so my top few would be
next semester, redecorate, guns for hands, truce, friend please, neon gravestones and leave the city
Oldies station and kitchen sink are definitely contenders too
paladin strait!
or neon gravestones since i wasn’t paying attention the first time i listened to it lmao
Overcompensate or paladin strait hands down
Good point, would be no chances or leave the city for me
Guns for hands
Overcompensate because of how it builds up
Addict with a pen (I’m taking this as “I go back to whenever I heard this song first”) I was at a blurryface tour concert when they played it on b stage. I didn’t know it and didn’t record it, I will never forgive myself 😭😭😭
overcompensate for sure
But if it’s just like erased from my memory, then it’s probably a 3-way tie of Friend, please
Jumpsuit
Migraine
jumpsuit
Leave The City
If it's just the music no chances if it's the music video too then jumpsuit
Isle of Flightless Birds
air catcher
Blurryface
Oldies station or kitchen sink
Heathens / Trees Livestream version! I cried so hard the first time I heard this
paladin strait
Saturday, because that was the first time my heart actually skipped a beat because of the rhythm change in the last 2 choruses
Now I just expect it to happen because I know it's there, so that didn't happen any other time that the first time I listened
Good song
Kitchen sink 100%. That song changed my life and it now hits me like a brick everytime I hear the first measure
fake you out to easy
def redecorate, the way i sobbed the first time i heard it omg
March to the sea
All of em
choker
navigating, its currently my favorite song from the entire album
Implicit Demand For Proof
Heavydirtysoul.
Forest
Ode to sleep
Probably the craving (Jenna’s version)
neon gravestones. it left me holding in tears while on the bus home from school. kinda didn't expect it
Hey what the fuck is that reaction emoji on this
also it’s gotta be Overcompensate
Hearing “welcome back to trench” like that affected me spiritually
guns for hands
frfrrrrrr the hype is so good
Lane boy, it’s the song that got me hooked and I wanna get that feeling again
can I just relive the whole Clancy livestream again lol
The hype leading up to clancy in general was great
And especially when the singles were getting released
bro I listened to the singles nonstop and now I haven’t listened to them in like weeks
I have all the tøp songs playing on loop almost all the time so it varies.
JOHNNY BOY BRO
2085
Shit wrong server
Paladin Strait
They’re both the last songs so don’t make fun of me
I was just in the AJR discord :((
1120th reply
My Blood or anything off the Trench album tee bee ach
definitely Truce
For sure for sure hoty
Tear in my heart mtv unplugged <//3
Trapdoor
theres an ajr discord!? could u send me the invite?
taxi cab
As far as I’m aware there isn’t a official one
Noo i need one
There are several fan made ones tho
r u in any of the fan made ones?
paladin strait
I’m in AJRearlyReleases which is a fan made one
Just google & you’ll find some
oh okay ty!
leave the city probably
ride or paladin
ride because it’s the first song i heard when i first listened to them
maybe my blood
Guns for hands or a car a torch a death
DM
Wait
You’re in it
Vignette
Friend please or redecorate
Holding onto you or anathema
guns for hands
i found it hehe!
Morph hit so hard on the first time, definitely that
LEVEL UP: You are now level 1!
maybe car radio or oldies station or the craving (jenna's version)
i just can remember that the craving made me cry a lot. the moment a see the video
just like i don't cried for so long time... that's it.
i agree, i've been listening to this after a time and still makes me feels like the first time i've hearded
when trench was released i was passing through something bad. i remember that i listened the album right the time it cames out in my country (brazil), and that song makes me feel so... not alone
Pet cheetah
fake you out dude i love this song with my heart and SOUL.
Fall Away live 100%
The first time listening to Overcompensate and Next Semester was very crazy for me but I think I'd like to listen Stressed Out or Heathens so I could properly look at them without the overplayed bias
all of vessel 😭
Paladin strait
Neon Gravestones or like bandito
hey that's a definitely a good idea
never really thought about that
and it's true, like, heathens for example is the famous one that you listen and it's like "ohhh this is this bands's famous song" then there's stressed out which is even more famous and it's the one that everyone listens to the first time alongside ride
so being able to listen to them without that bias of like "i don't know anything about this song i just know it's popular automatically it's good" would be insane
Migraine
- Goner
- Jumpsuit
- PS
All fo the song. I knew almost all of them before even being a big fan of the band
Kitchen sink or Bandito
Next semester
The Judge
Ooooh I didn't think of Bandito at first but that would be one of my choices. So now the list is: Jumpsuit, Neon Gravestones and Bandito
Oldies station.
LEVEL UP: You are now level 1!
car radio
or maybe truce
I hate myself I'm saying time to say goodbye
migraine bc it was my first song
heathens because now whenever i hear it i cant unhear the frog ribbit sounds 😦
Holding onto you live or trees or truce
Honestly I would like to listen to all their discography like it's the first time
Trees live again would be surreal as well
Ooof I have too many options, perhaps Stressed Out or Next Semester, that shii changed my brain chemistry
the heathens/trees mashup from the sai livestream 🤌
What???
I need to listen to it again lol
Migraine
Ride holds a special place in my heart bc when I was riding in the car to daycare when I was younger, me and my dad would listen to it and sing along.
But instead of “I’m taking my time on my ride” we would sing “I’m taking my milk on my ride” bc I would always take a cup of milk on the ride.
Holding onto you
bandito or maybe hometown
Ode to sleep or Migrane
Just relistened to it and I'm crying no joke
yeah it gets me every time i listen to it
Also
It doesn't feel like the same stage as the other songs
My brain can never process that when I look at it, it really feels like he's on a boat in the ocean
And by the end he's in outer space
I'm crying I love it so much
Art
taxi cab
Message man!!
Screen
Exactly, I want to know what it's like because I don't remember hearing it for the first time, it just sort of osmosis-ed into my brain sometime in 2015
so true, vessel supremacy i love that album
trees 💙
it still impacts me regardless but when i heard for the first time i cried so badly.
Overcompensate
Cut my lip
YES
I wish I could go back and fully listen to Holding on to You when Vessel was out back then when MTV Push was showcasing them
YES SO REAL
screen
Forest changed my brain chemistry forever, would love to hear it again for the first time 
My Blood. i experienced SHRIMP EMOTIONS man
STAY WITH ME NOW
i actually cried hearing my blood live tho
Trees
Per cheetah
Backslide ❤️
Neon Gravestone
call me basic but ‘heathens’
holding on to you and oldies station
it was the song that turned me into a clikkie in 2016, so i felt this
YES
Semi-Automatic or Holding Onto You
i should have filmed my reaction to that ending
it was priceless
Car Radio
Taxi Cab 🚕 💙
Trapdoor or A Car A Torch A Death
Lane Boy
Pet cheetah
that is very real
I can't choose just 1st
pet cheetah is a great answer
Agreed, A car, a torch, a death did a number on me the first time I listened
Oldies Station
fairly local
holding on to you 
neon gravestones 
Goner!
Trees
START FRESH NEXT SEMESTER
ride, stressed out, or heathens... not because i like them, but because ive heard them so many times i can barely stand them now, so erasing my memory of them would help with that
Maybe pet cheetah… idk all of them are sooooo goood
RUBYYYYY 
Paladin strait I think bc the experience : alone in my bed, almost in the dark, and then hearing the birds.. it was a beautiful moment
Addict with a pen, the song is absolutely beautiful and resonates a lot with me. I also like the faith aspect of the song as a Christian myself!
yessss
honestly just their entire discography
imagine discovering them for the first time again
Formidable
Friend, Please
omg formidable appreciation 💜
Ode to sleep for sure, it was the first one that got me into them. And oh boy, it was a whole ride listening to that song the first time, mainly because of how much it changes
"Shrimp emotions"?
imagine being a shrimp, what do you feel
theres a shrimp that can percieve more colors that a human can, so it'd be like emotions humans shouldnt be able to percieve
Okay. I'm still going with Paladin as my pick because the Nico jumpscare doesn't work on me anymore.
air catcher!!!!!
isle of flightless birds or trapdoor
Overcompensate or Migraine
the entire SAI album, feel like i didn't appreciate it enough
nobody did
I did, it's one of my favorites, probably after Trench and Clancy
tough call but I’d say a tie between addict with a pen or chlorine
Fairly local
not me though, y'all stay safe
it was my fave since day 1, got more than enough tweets to prove it 🤷♀️
it went platinum in my household
defended the album with my life
Anathema or Clear
not saying sai is better overall but imo it was way more fun as a first time listen then clancy was
the songs were more immediately different i guess??
anyway good day was a great opener and i loved the shock factor of hearing the no chances chorus for the first time haha
sai has a special place in my heart because i became a fan in the sai era, quite some time after it dropped. the judge and ride were what got me to look into them,,, but sai had me hooked, mainly because indie pop has been one of my top genres and 10th/11th grade was my indie kid phase lol
Ode to Sleep
Overcompensate
Leave the city
Migraine
Paladin Strait, no doubt. The jumpscare, the relax, the "what´s about to happen" feeling, the anxious sensation when I first listened to Tyler's uke at the end...
Kitchen sink
so many but anathema, lovely, jumpsuit and overcompensate
all of them
Formidable
probably ode to sleep. i remember first time hearing it i was not prepared for the genre switch ups and i’d love to experience that feeling again.
oohhh that's a great choice
thanks :)) what did you pick?
A Car, A Torch, A Death 😫😫
All of them
Oldies station
Oh Ms. Believer
Bysyd
Car Radio
Ode to Sleep 🔥
ride. as basic as it is, I have such a strong memory tied to it and it'd mean everything to experience listening to it in the same scenario
goner.
we don't believe whats on tv
Heathens
Trees
forest
Original goner
jumpsuit
i picked bandito!!
thanks!!
especially the "sahlo folina"
getting to hear that for the first time again would be insane
i still get goosebumps whenever i listen to it, but the first time just hits different because you never expected it at all
yes that is so true
i wonder if it would be better to hear it for the first time knowing the lore i know now, or better to experience it with the amount of lore we had at the time it was released🤔
Ride, it's how I got introduced to tøp through my car radio. It was catchy and sounded different than other songs. Hearing it makes me oddly nostalgic like smelling petrichor.
I want to watch the chlorine video again for the first time with the knowledge of the lore I have now
anathema & neon gravestones! anathema was my favorite song for years, really helped me through the hardest time in my life. right before trench’s release, i stopped listening to tøp (stubborn teenager trying to force myself to fit in — abandoned anything that could make me different, even music). coming back into it here recently and giving trench a listen took me back to that time and neon gravestones is now one of my favorite songs. so beautiful, both songs are very special to me (‘:
Lovely and Message Man
vignette
paladin strait and ode to sleep, and car radio
fairly local
Overcompensate and pet cheetah
i think that both would have a totally different experience, that's for sure!
but i'm definitely happy that i got to experience it with the amount of lore that we knew when it was just released rather than only listening to it now
i havent even listened to pet cheetah so now i'm excited lol
Honestly snap back with the drop at the end to be better
The problem with discovering a new band is the fact you don't know if you will love it or not and then you find yourself underaprecciating some songs because you couldn't know how good they are before the first listen. Thats why I wanna listen to trench as whole for the first again, knowing how good the album is/will be and not just skip every 2nd song, which I did when listening to it for the first time
Either Ode To Sleep or Isle of Flightless Birds
did you mean to reply to the new qotw with this? 👀
I would remove the silent part of paladin strait, I know it means something but I don’t like howbtheres a minute of silence when I’m streaming the song but they removed it from the official music video😭
Wrong thread 😭
GUGGLING I WAS HALF ASLEEP
Paladin Strait OR Overcompensate. The scream I scrummed when I heard "Welcome back to Trench" and "Hello Clancy"
Fuckinnnnnn ODE TO SLEEP but specifically live where he’s SLAMMING on the keyboard like WAAAAAaWawawawawawawa and Tyler is shaking is whole entire being in exorcism while they wear the fucking SKELETON jackets
I’m ngl I just wanna hear Clancy for the first time again. I remember being so excited driving to school bc it was my first time listening to the whole thing. And then it ended up being amazing
doubt
Bandito and A car, a torch, a death :>
Anything from RAB
Not Today, it got me into the band and I would kill to have that shock again
Redecorate
overcompensate
House of gold (it's my favorite song)
oldies station for sure
Wish I could watch the heavy dirty soul music vid again, that shit was peak
heavydirtysoul!!
in agreement 🫡
probably Level of Concern or lavish
def lavish- seems fun
Oldies station or routines or paladin
Message man
Trees!!!
Morph 
neon gravestones
neon gravestones or hoty
Trees or car radio live. I didn't embrace that moment and I regret it
yessss, hoty is my very most favorite
isle of flightless birds or the line. maybe levitate so i can get all excited over the car radio reference again
LEVEL UP: You are now level 1!
Paladin Strait. The bridge in particular omg
I would love to hear Paladin strait for the first time with the video, the combo experience would be heavenly
