I JUST LOVE THE ALARM SOUNDS IN THEIR MUSIC OK
OVERCOMPENSATE
they are on the same lvl for me help
i love saturday so i have to vote overcompensate (i do also love backslide but that's not the point)
Overcompensate is such a good album opener tho
i may not vote this round either
Overcompensate!!!

Overcompensate is their best intro
backslide 100% my king
hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby
won't hesitate to maybe vote overcompensate
Right

can i say backslide least fav on clancy
The alarm sounds in overcompensate are just peak for me
BACKSLIDE WHAT SRR YALL ON
sorry here you can have them back 🫴
this one is really hard
The bridge of overcompensate is really fun when you do the exact same dance move
OH SCREW THIS
🇰 🇸 🇱 🇮 🇩 
backslide means everything to me
even if I got hit by a car listening to Backslide
HELL NO
I don't wanna...
sorry
Never thought i would say this but im voting Backslide
go
🇰 to overcompensate
overcompensweep
RAT RACE PLACE TO PLACE ADDING WEIGHT
this is fucking diabolical
I'm voting Backslide
IM TWEAKING OUT SO HARD I CANT PICK
PLEEEASE BACKSLIDE
AUUUGGHHHHGG I WSNT EXPECTING THIS
backslide ftw
TENDENCIES ON REPEAT INNIT
There is just something about yelling the chorus of backslide while in the car that is more cathartic than over compensate
Backslide a good song but a little more boring to me
LEFT 🗣 LEFT 🗣 LEFT RIGHT LEFT 🗣🔥🔥
backslide totally
the creepy bg vocals on backslide get me every time
Voting Backslide for the vibes (but Overcompensate live is a banger)
BENEFIT FROM A SHOE WITH NO LACE
I think Backslide has better lyrics and the simplicity of the song is honestly underrated
yeah i uh. i dont think im voting this round IM SORRY
TAKE THE SEAT WITH THE CREASE IN IT
backslide is so raw
“I don’t wanna” vote 
fuck this is hard
backslide live was the first song to ever make me cry
wtf
I DON'T MIND IF IT'S LONELY
sorry backslide I absolutely love overcompensate, the intro gives me goosebumps everytime 🤚
dude today i was listening to overcomp and i was like "ye i think if comes up in a battle id choose the other song" BUT THEN THIS COMES UP AND IDK
Yeah, I gotta vote Overcompensate as it's been my favourite ever since it came out
I DONT MIND IF ITS FAIR
Also the I DON'T WANNA live is peak
Do you think that now's the time you should let go?
discord ate my words nooo
i didnt get the I DONT WANNA scream at my show 💔
I DON'T CARE YOU CONTROL ME
LEADING ME ANYWHERE
At my show it was I don’t wanNUH
im fighting the urge to call backslide smth else (last time i did i got timed for an hour i have to hold myself back)
WELCOME BACK TO TRENCH
hehehe
Wait are we not allowed to call it that?
I DON'T WANNA BACKSLIDE TO WHERE IT STARTED FROM
ig not 💔
big brother is watching
I vote for silver weighted sun: https://genius.com/Tyler-joseph-silver-weighted-sun-lyrics
THERES NO CHANCE(es) I WILL SHAKE THIS AGAIN
i like backslide... overcompensate is really good too but i overplayed it when it came out so backslide is more refreshing to me
Backslide my babygirl I will never not vote you 
CAUSE I FEEL THE PULL WATERS OVER MY HEAD
literally this!! only reason i picked backslide tbh theyre both so fire
I’m voting overcompensate but warm take backslide > routines in the night
The first minute and a half of Overcompensate is truly an experience
Oh gosh.. ima go with overcompensate
i love backslide... but the intro to overcompensate... with the message and the siren sounds and then the bandito call back.. i can't
STRENGTH ENOUGH FOR ONE MORE TIME
@kindred cargo Drag Path vs Silver Weighted Sun plz 🙂
REACH MY HAND ABOVE THE TIDE
Marvel’s What If, except its tøp songs that aren’t real 🥀
AAAAAAAAAA
i just realized that these two songs are literally tied for me i cant
im not voting im officially refraining from voting
erm it’s actually backslide
sorry backslide but overcompensate is literally perfect
ILL TAKE ANYTHING YOU HAVE
IF YOU COULD THROW ME A LIME
voting for backslide for the I DONT WANNA
IF YOU COULD THROW ME A LINE
Backslide.
*lime
OSWEEP (OC)
I SHOULD HAVE LOVED YOU BETTER
but then again
overcompenate has that WOOOSH that slows the beat of the song
i love that part
backslide is so good if it doesn't win Imma cry
like I love overcompensate but backslide just hits different
backslide has a panflute which i love
c'mon guys Overcompensate is the first song we got in over a thousand days, and can you remember the hype we felt when we saw the red TOP logo over the sea? (oh GOD the piano) there have been very few moments like that
backslide is my second favorite song by them ever just below next semester
Honestly Overcompensate hype and hearing bandito snippet experience might be even bigger than Jumpsuit hype for me
Aaaah !! Not this one !! 😭
Got dam this is hard
Let me cry in the corner, I'll vote later 😭
jumpsuit and natn releasing is a core memory
yeah well backslide came out at the perfect time for me when I was really lonely and the only friends I had kept growing more and more distant and it was the push that lead me to let go of those rotting friendships and find people who would actually stick with me
Yeah true, and jumpsuit is a better song than oc for me, but the hype for oc was unmatched
OVERSWEEPERATE
yeah i get it, my friend was going through a breakup at that time too. anything on clancy is a valid choice (but clancy era hypeeee with OC, start of my redemption arc)
I love Backslide but Overcompensate.......
literally me. i was having a tough time last year and i was lonely and backslide was so helpful. also i relate to it in other ways :/
midwest indigo is the only song that hasnt been up in song battles yet can we move onto the next round so i can be insufferable about my child
so i have to go with backslide simply because i relate to it so much (for other reasons as well)
OVERCOMPENSWEEP
I love backslide though
Really tough choice
I got into twenty one pilots mid March 2024 bro I’m lucky af I missed the long ass gap and I got NS, Backslide, and the rest of Clancy all coming out right after
overcompensweep
close but backslide
no one is arguing with me therefore i am right
Backslide
WELCOME BACK TO TRENCH 🗣️🔥
Fr lol
or they're ignoring your less-than-stellar opinion|| (jkjk valid take)||
these are both so ahh it's hard to pick
Jumpsuit isn’t my favorite song of theirs but I will say that it is one of if not the best
overcompensate clears easily
I used to be the champion of a world you can't see, Now I'm drowning in logistics... (TBF these lyrics feel SO RELEVANT righ now)
bysyd clears both of these songs 🌹❤️
|| flop ||
chat they’re rage baiting
bysyd is my least favourite song of theirs 🥀
why else would i have such shitty takes
it has its moments tho just... not very often
(the song that still holds the record for having the least votes received)
Trees RAB is worse but that’s about it
nah i love the RAB trees scream
Clear winner
sweepslide..?
no
Fr
neiman?
- trench
- clancy
- vessel
- blurryface
- scaled and icy
- self titled
i dont think ive ever been able to get through rab trees without switching songs
valid but I don’t think that’s enough to save the song
it's worth it for the scream "HELLO!"
boots and cats and boots and cats an
vessel over self titled??
alr lemme listen real quick
overcompensate IMMEDIATELY
that is the song that introduced me to twenty one pilots
i woke up to rab trees last night and switched it off
wrong
always
vessel clears st
I love backslide but I'm going overcompensate
st does have a couple bangers though
vessel imo would be 10/10 if it didnt have screen and run and go
strongest in ST clears weakest in vessel though

- Clancy
- Vessel
- Trench
- Self Titled
- RAB
- SAI
- Blurryface
rag catching strays for no reason
fair, the run and go is one of their worst songs but there’s a bunch of awesome self titled songs
sometimes on self titled he sings like gracie abrams indie girl bananies and avocadies and it bothers me
vessel over trench 😭
it’s literally the same piano chord for half the song
"i need you to STAY" saves it
and it’s fire
F# over and over
maybe the live but not studio
Nah screen is peak
that part is fair tho i like the lyrics
and it's gas
screen is dookie
screen is dookie
i will not stand for Screen slander
They’re honestly interchangeable for me I’m just in more of a vessel mood rn
speak your truth
you’re not invited to my screen themed birthday party
screen clears all of self titled
screen is the same piano riff for the whole song
Can I come?
WHat's that Locomotive of slander for Screen??? (That's a train btw)
do you like screen
Is the entrance a screen door?
And it goes HARD
thats wild
overcompensating vs a meme song
Bait
yeah and the zombies are screen door zombies
theres like 5 songs on self titled that I would pick over screen in a heartbeat
yea
Ok now that’s a tad ambitious but ok
Btw I'm feeling like backslide today
this guy DOESNT get it
No, I don't, and that's okay
bro overcompensate imo is like top 5 all discog
so is backslide
Navigating is better anyway
there’s some crazy songs on self titled i’d want remastered like fall away, addict, air catcher, acatad, taxi cab, isle of flightless birds but the production quality lowers it significantly for me
i feel like all the garbage takes i'm seeing rn are just to distract from Drum Show in a couple hrs
ehhhhhhhhh no
its up there
Don't sleep on a song who can't lose twice!!
Backslide is peak
In the same night!
garbage?
Bro, this battle HURTS
oh god
SWEEPSLIDE
Poop, this is hard
Ima have to go backslide
Backslide is in MY top 5, and that’s all that matters to me
I feel like all of the discography is top 5 except all the songs on RAB 
same here
Again, my emotions are affecting this battle
there are so many Backslide defenders honestly I thought it wouldn't stand a chance against OC
OVERCOMPENSWEEP
i shall not stand for bysyd being in the same tier as jumpsuit
hate that ppl don’t like it bc “song not loud = bad”
I’ll vote, but I’d prob vote differently tomorrow
same
bysyd
whats that
Mood changes, fave song changes
before you start your day
oh
Before you start your day
thats a great one twib
As a backslide defender, I completely agree
Make your slits look just right
thērês myłèš öf lænd íñ frøńt õf üssssss
are you allowed to say backslide’s other name?
oh damn.
I LOVE backslide, but overcompensate still gives me “omg new music” vibes
first time I'm not voting ngo
if you say it's backsweep then i'm leaving the server
ngl*
overcompensate sweeps
no rhe other name
i actually dont like backslide all that much
same here
its alright but its one of those i can only listen to in certain moods
he needs to do self titled tyler’s version and upgrade it
backslide is great
but overcompensate>
ya I want all of these
if that happened my head would explode
omg fall away remastered would be awesome
Also someone will put on a drum show in 2 hours exactly no?
I can agree with that but I still adore all those songs
trapdoor renmastered
Glad we got to see fall away live during Clancy tour
Isle of flightless birds remastered
ive never heard trapdoor :(
IOFB and ACATAD remastered i'd give my life for
i need to listen to all their songs :(((
get to listening then
i shoulddd
thisss
March to the sea needs an update
i’ve been a pilots fan since like 2014 but i never really got into self titled it just doesn’t do it for me
acatad still gives me chills it’s up there
yea it needs new vocals
I listened to every TØP song and the mute math remixes except RAB
I hate the dripping sound
Backslide 🙏
I was placed into this world with a certain hate towards RAB
hey i never said march to the sea was a good song
Even though Backslide is a newer song, it just feels nostalgic
youre missing out on glowing eyes, forest, anathema and kitchen sink
but if it was remastered maybe it would be
Gang why 😭😭😭
fr the only exceptions are clear kitchen sink and glowing eyes the rest are honestly dookie
I want a Clancy album mutemafj thing
hoty WAsnt bad i think
i mean it’s okay vessels just so much better so no reason to listen to the RAB version
exactly
i think of RAB as a demo album
i view RAB as a rough draft of vessel tbh
I like the rab version drum solo better but the rest of hoty is just better on the vessel version
—sincerely, a rab meatrider
i never listen to a track and think “oh this is track _ of RAB” i think oh this is from RAB i think
Anathema?
is this a safe space to say i never really liked backslide
only bc the saturday lyric makes me really sad
the lyrics are good but the production hurts my ears
Backslide lo es todo para mi 
I really want Backslide to win but the amount of love Overcompensate gets from the Clique just confirms to me that its not lmao
What abt forest?
forest is okay but i almost never come back to it, i wouldn’t compare it from songs on the later albums tbh
backsweep
I FEEL THE PULL
WATER'S OVER MY HEAD
STRENGTH ENOUGH FOR ONE MORE TIME
REACH MY HAND ABOVE THE TIDE
I'LL TAKE ANYTHING YOU HAVE
IF YOU COULD THROW ME A LINE
Definitely Overcompensate
Days feel like a perfect length, I don't need them any longer
But for goodness' sake, do the years seem
Way too short for my soul, corazon
WAY TOO SHORT FOR MY SOUL, CORAZON
HOW CAN ANYONE NOT LIKE OVERCOMPENSATE?
definitely backslide
BACKSWEEP
the lyrics to robot voices will contain "Never should've did Overcompensate"
OML I LOVE BOTH SM
LMAO
backslide top 10 songs that feel like being shot in the chest
very hard one for me
While Overcompensate is better when thinking about production, I think I'll go for Backslide because that one has a spot in my heart
this is so difficult but backslide is so goated
Bro backslide is my fav on the album and it's prolly gonna get swept up but BACKWEEP HYPE BRO
i pay huge attention to just the lyrics but also the whole background of a song. both are terribly relatable, I just can't relate to Overcompensate in terms of sound and emotion, and it's just too catchy, i can't stop shaking ass 😭
backslide :(
can't wait for Drum Show guys
i love backslide but the intro for overcompensate still gives me chills
can we ban @toxic perch for leaking robot voices lyrics
thhis gif KILLS ME
overcomperstae
if backslide doesnt win i will cry
i'm in dire need of a physical copy of clancy
Love both ❤️
backslide
I DO T WANNA
Okay so I listened to backslide on repeat for hours every day for a month bc I wanted to be that months top listener and now I’ve overplayed it for myself so I gotta pick overcompensate 😞
My first tøp concert was Trench and my second was Clancy AND WHEN THEY OPENED UP WITH WELCOME BACK TO TRENCH MY SOUL ASCENDED
Overcompensate ftw
NOOOO WHYYYYYY????? YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO PUT THE RIGHT FIGHTS 😭😭😭😭
OVERCOMPENSWEEP
Backslide easy
overcompensweep
BLESS YOUR EARHOLES
Right? I mean I love Backslide, but Overcompensate is one of my fave album openers. It's just too good!!
love backslide
same, as I don't wanna backslide to where I started from
No because I agree with you
thanks win loves garbage
You're welcome, danni!!
I ❤️ drum show
Drum Show ❤️
drum show may be peak i need recency bias to go away
WELCOME BACK TO TRENCH
No no I think you’re right!
Are we gonna vote on breach when it’s out?
idk how hot this take is but josh’s drumming saved drum show from being bottom 5 TOP songs
Wow
Jocals ateeee
Real
How’d vignette lose!!!
backslide or NOTHING.
I flyyyy byyyyy the dangerous bend symbol!!!
the scream??
I was so happy when the Jocals happened. The scream made it even better 👏
the jocals were so dope
same im so happy we got his voice on a studio song 🥹
Uhmm...
ya that was good too
but i mean i didn’t really like the vocals in general and the jocals were good but used too much autotune
backsweep
Oh thats a definitely a hot take
OVERCOMPENSATE ALL THE WAY
this is one of the easier choices i love overcompensate
what about the jocals though 
how dare you skip over the jocals

well I mean ig bottom 5 TOP songs isn't even bad bc all their songs are amazing
but still

ya exactly
I'm not really an auto-tune person either, so I get it, but besides that, I would say it's really good, in my opinion
Overcompensweep!
Honestly.. I kinda agree with u
backslide is better
i am so mad
NOOOO
