Amazing! I was hoping for a clear win ending with Clancy kicking Nico's butt at first, but now I see the beauty in their ending!!

[brisk steeple]

haha

[valid saddle]

SOBBING. ITS SO GOOOOD!! Also drag path is insanely good. So sad the lore is done tho :(

Best album lyrically and production wise

[floral sun]

Cried

[opal garden]

BROKEN

[pearl owl]

"IT'S A CYCLE!!! IT'S ALWAYS BEEN A CYCLE!! CLANCY IS A CONCEPT AND NOT A PERSON!!!"

[mighty anvil]

better question: WHAT I DIDN'T
Brain left the chat

[ruby scarab]

It was lovely
People are being doomers, it had a hopeful message. It's a cycle, but the cycle improves every time. Having him win the fight would've made no sense- you can't easily beat up your depression and mental health struggles in a fight

[ebon fossil]

i cried through the entire album and then the city walls mv made it worse

[earnest rose]

IT WAS SO PEAK

[sleek anchor]

I think breach is the most cohesive and coherent project theyve ever made. It floors me. Best album they've made and I've been listening for 10 years. Absolutely blown away by the production quality, vocal delivery, consistency in themes and styles. Just wow.

[wooden oak]

It was so incredible I loved it but also I made a reaction video and it will never see the light of day bc I ugly sobbed through have of it. Also I need them to make a full length movie.

[slate dragon]

Peak cinematography

[covert shadow]

The city was very walled

[celest haven]

Conflicted at first. Now I think it’s amazing and it was the best possible ending.

[naive vine]

Too amazing to forget.
Too heart wrenching to smile.
10/10

[trail pasture]

Sad and Rushed

[modern pier]

DEPRESSING

[dawn ferry]

Don’t even know how to describe how amazing this album is, but I also feel empty

[shy edge]

I wasn't expetcing this cool fight. Peak

[flat ravine]

So good!!!!

[gray heart]

I loved it

[brisk steeple]

I can say anything and no kne will notice

[valid saddle]

TEAM TORCHERBEARER!!

[still plover]

why didnt torch and clancy kissed

[ionic fractal]

Its a breach 🗣️✨

[pastel flume]

Shocking and with my girlfriend we feel empty somehow |-/

[fair granite]

Loved it!!! It's already stuck in my head

[grand trail]

city walls mv broke me and drag path healed me
obviously affected by recency bias but I think breach might be my favourite album

[modern python]

The ending broke me

[timid badge]

Could only listen to it once

[tawny goblet]

It was Absolute Peak Cinema

[covert shadow]

REAL

[stone otter]

im still recovering

[hidden gulch]

okay but deadass i. really hoped clancy would break the cycle 💔💔 especially since this whole thing was about mental health it really disappointed me for a lack of better word. music is peak though

[loud copper]

doomed yaoi at what cost

[floral kite]

what the fuck??? what the fuck!!! what the fuck 🥲

[round chasm]

Absolute cinema

[brazen knot]

IT HURTS ME BUT I LOVE IT

[young oasis]

The fight scène were better than in daredevil Born again

[last patio]

The entire album is amazing - I was originally a little dissapointed with the ending in city walls but now that I’ve watched it a few times and thought of my feelings, I actually think it was the perfect ending

[clever solar]

I am still trying to figure out what I think ...

[rain tulip]

you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

[upbeat sorrel]

Yo

[winter vapor]

some things didnt make sense like the gang sign creating a magic fireball but it was great

[earnest adder]

REAL...

[near shell]

too much and yet not enough doomed yaoi

[pseudo lion]

It’s so sad but very good

[maiden jay]

that was DEVASTATING. best album ever 🔥

[sleek anchor]

Breach made me go to hot topic for the first time in 3 years

[obsidian flame]

fuck.

[onyx sky]

delulu, it's NOT the end

[vapid hearth]

Absolutely PEAK. And even so, it is my favorite

[obsidian flame]

fuck

[drifting sinew]

very devastating but God did I love it

[patent helm]

Makes me feel like a teen listening to vessel for the first time again 🩶

[lavish wedge]

I have the album on repeat. The songs are so good and I’m feeling a lot of things. The video made me cry a lot but I see the ending as hopeful

[spring matrix]

I liked it, slightly confusing at first tho

[summer night]

got thrown around and bodyslammed 10/10

[haughty urchin]

doomed yaoi.

[modern python]

There has to be a second part next album or smth

[tacit spruce]

I'm starting to get the impression Tyler likes hurting his fans

[dull musk]

Oh I hated it so much I’m so mad dude

[signal void]

Im in deep emotional anguish

[winter vapor]

OMG HI NIKO

[marsh aurora]

BRO DEVASTATED

[tawny holly]

i’m actually in love with an album man. like i have never taken in an album as hard as this one. personally i think it’s their best work ive ever listened to (and ive been listening a while). the music video was BEYOND perfect. it was everything they could’ve done and more. it hurt so much but it reflects reality and it’s still about not giving up.

beautiful album, beautiful video, beautiful people. i’m proud to be a fan of theirs 💕

[quick rock]

idek bro

[hidden gulch]

oh he totally does

[sleek anchor]

Couldn't agree more. I think it's their best album

[autumn leaf]

joshler is no longer canon

[rugged oak]

So good! But I wanna know why the banditos agreed to become Bishops so quickly? Like, that's completely agaisnt everything they stood for but they didn't fight him???

[severe sedge]

It was beautiful

[left gyro]

Love it

[maiden jay]

NO WAY HI NIKO

[clever solar]

the video was spectacular

[rugged hazel]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA -how i feel and what i think

[normal tapir]

My fav song changes every 10 minutes I swear

[trail pasture]

Amazing

[jagged oyster]

I don’t like it 😓

[wise smelt]

It makes listening to every previous album even more enjoyable
The amount of foreshadowing is immaculate and the storytelling is peak

[vale whale]

Album is peak and so experimental. Love it
Fav tracks for now: Robot Voices, Center Mass, Tally, One Way, Days Lie Dormant, RAWFEAR

[fickle granite]

City Walls ends with the beginning of Heavydirtysoul, which is important for the interpretation below. I posted this on Reddit the other day, which sums up my feelings pretty well.

Maybe this has been talked about before, but my interpretation after seeing City Walls and Heavydirtysoul is that there is an event that haunts Tyler and he will spend the rest of his life fighting his demons over this event. Whatever happened at the wreckage, he had to keep going, maybe someone else couldn't. This event is at the core of his struggles and those struggles can overtake him, but regardless of what happened, he has to stay alive, try again, and have intentions to be a better human being than he was yesterday. (My theory is that there was an accident that occurred under the influence and someone died in it. Drugs were in control during that accident , hence why Tyler isn't at the wheel. Tyler has expressed his struggles with substances in the past).

But this is my very, very literal take on this. It could be more metaphorical than this.

Josh is obviously going to keep fighting for his friend, but if this is about drug abuse, sometimes drugs win, and you've got to protect your peace too. He will always be there for Tyler, but when someone choses their demons, that's a journey someone often needs to take alone.

Tyler has to chose to try again after a relapse.

[noble gull]

it’s a fitting conclusion to the story and the video was insanely well done, but omg it pmo so bad 😭

[lost harness]

I WANT A REFUND

[limpid marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/gumball-the-amazing-world-of-gumball-gumball-crying-gumball-explaining-jinsblunt-gif-20762999 this

[ornate wraith]

i liked it

[modern python]

Worth the 1 million dollars

[abstract tusk]

I mean like, it’s basically immortality, it’s a pretty damn good deal

[oblique abyss]

Rocks back and forth like a madman

[solar heart]

An absolutely stunning resolution to this story that does not hesitate to give a sad ending to something that deserves it. The cycle is emblematic of struggle and I don’t think it could have been executed any better

[sullen aspen]

its great but it feels empty

[green schooner]

I FELT LIKE I WAS BEING SHOT 57 TIMES (it was absolutely fucking beautiful, but fuck that hit HARD)

[patent helm]

Yeah think it might be for me too! Very happy

[silent moat]

I loved it and hated it because no torchbearer x clancy makeout session

[unborn nest]

Emotional Damage!

[loud copper]

take me back 10 years ago to experience this again

[tacit spruce]

I would like to learn from Tyler's infliction of pain on the clique so I can traumatize my fans for the lols

[summer night]

FOR REAL. I don't think it would've been as good without the years of waiting

[deft dove]

Working hard on yourself doesn't mean that you'll make it lol

[sleek anchor]

I think it's a metaphor for becoming what you seek to destroy. You die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain. When they've followed Clancy's orders for so long, they learn to blindly obey, almost making him like a bishop in his own right. It's a dual edged sword.

[ionic fractal]

I loved (almost) every song so much, the city walls mv was amazing. The brick was not kissed before being thrown and it HURTS MY SOUL

[wet canopy]

It was a moooooovie

[short radish]

Had me sobbing at 7:00am followed by laughing at 7:15. A hard but great ending to a 10 year long story.

[austere saddle]

I can barely listen to city walls after watching the video do NOT ask me

[sweet cobalt]

I feel like those banditos idolized Clancy more than being a dedicated bandito. And that’s why they fell. Even though TB cares about Clancy, he stuck to who he was

[hollow void]

Perfect

[orchid plinth]

I’m ballbuster

[crisp finch]

Peak

[summer night]

bro did NOT get the message of the album

[dry onyx]

I fucking sobbed for a hour after the music video
Breach is a genuine masterpiece
Favorite songs are downstairs and intentions

[bold gulch]

fuckin amazing

[regal socket]

Torchbearer is hot

[torn anchor]

perfect

[austere saddle]

Downstairs and one way my beloveds

[abstract tusk]

goated take

[lavish wedge]

There’s a lot of lyrics throughout the album that hit so hard and can be a punch in the gut but the sound of the bridge in city walls is like a balm and has a way of calming me

[deft dove]

Bro i was just kidding

[ionic fractal]

You get it

[graceful trellis]

Make me cry so hard🥹

[tawny holly]

how do i marry an album?

-# this isn’t google-

[pliant wolf]

the real TB saga was the journey lore josh went on 😔

[carmine vault]

10/10 just don’t like tally or robot voices that much

[dense jewel]

breach is 2nd only to trench for me, feels like such an amazing merge of all of their styles into something so recognizable as top yet so brand new
city walls mv is such an amazing wrap-up to the story too

[tough rose]

Goated

[subtle condor]

I love the whole album and bishop Clancy is awesome

[keen cloak]

If I’m being serious I didn’t like the album as much as I like the others, it had highlights like centre mass and one way but Idk to me it didn’t hit the same. Id explain more but I feel rude cuz Ik a lot of people do enjoy the album as a whole rather than just some songs like me 😅

[latent ocean]

How many times have you listened to it

[abstract tusk]

I personally thought every song was peak, maybe i’m just biased tho

[winged nest]

Breach: 11/10

CW MV: devastated, slowly seeing the vision

[frigid pewter]

it took a while, but i’m satisfied with the ending. it’s a really good metaphor - you don’t just ‘beat’ mental illness, it is a long and ongoing battle. what matters is that you intend to do your best, and you keep pushing on through

[ionic fractal]

You’re not rude, your opinion is valid! I mean, I didn’t like City Walls (hot take ik) but you not liking jt as much is fine and understand!

[trail pasture]

cried multiple times... so good ig?

[valid marlin]

It was good! The only song i truly dislike is days lie dormant

[fossil lintel]

That’s totally valid. I personally enjoyed the album very much, but every feels differently, so I appreciate your take tbh

[carmine vault]

Yea there’s nothing wrong with saying certain things u don’t like about an album of theirs, some fans take offense if u don’t say everything they put out is perfect

[stark kayak]

me = dead inside

[left bobcat]

EMOTIONAL they really shared a lot in this album

[keen cloak]

As a whole once but iv re-listened to the songs I like a lot

[severe sedge]

It honestly killed me at first but the more I rewatched it it made more and more sense

[winged nest]

I'd persoanlly excude Robot Voices cause it doesn't sound like them, other than that 100%

[abstract tusk]

I loved robot voices lol, it’s so whimsical

[sleek anchor]

It feels like even their music is a cycle lol.

Vessel was very bright and colorful, and blurryface was very dark and somber. Trench was a beautiful combination of the two styles.

I think we see the same thing here.
SaI was bright, colorful, hopeful, while Clancy was darker, more raw and somber. And Breach, again, feels like a beautiful combination of the two. I love Tyler and Josh and Paul they're so smart and cool and awesome

[fossil lintel]

I agree with this. That song wasn’t bad, but it felt slightly out of place

[latent ocean]

I think you should listen to the entire thing a second time. When I listened a second times that’s when everything clicked

[dawn birch]

Chaotic and Unexpected

[severe sedge]

Literally my username

[ionic fractal]

Robot Voices is such a comfort song to me now 😭✨ turns out its my boyfriends favorite too so now it makes it more silly

[upper dust]

LOVE ROBOT VOICRS

[north mason]

I liked some of the songs but some of them were ok imo. I liked downstairs, city walls, drum show and intentions the best. Downstairs gave me self titled vibes

[winged nest]

Agreed, I don't hate it, I'd just probably never listen to it outside of being on the most GOATED album I've heard in awhile

[sleek anchor]

It's so good

[lavish wedge]

That’s totally valid. For me, I love the songs but it feels too new and like I haven’t experienced it enough to say if it’s their “best” or not

[smoky swan]

Awesome, I love Downstairs

[shut holly]

THE BEST

[opal loom]

peak

[abstract tusk]

my favorite is center mass, i just relate with it a lot. At least to what I interpreted it as

[arctic nimbus]

honestly i think it was their best album, center mass being the best tracks with robot voices and RAWFEAR being up there too

[pastel current]

A lot. I loved it though. It invoked a lot of emotion, but the cinephile in me was obsessed with the visuals

[outer herald]

absolutely freaking peak

[fickle granite]

Aside from my City Walls analysis, I love Breach. Especially Downstairs. I have a very personal connection to the lyrics in that song. I've been listening to the album on repeat since it came out, had the opportunity to go to a listening party, and got my hands on a RAWFEAR picture disc.

I won't do a whole dissertation on Breach as an album, but Tyler and Josh didn't miss with this one.

[left bobcat]

at first robot voices and one way were kinda iffy for me, but like some of their other songs it just took more listens to come around to them

[fossil lintel]

Right, I wouldn’t necessarily seek out that song, but when I listen to the album I won’t be like ew

[sleek anchor]

This is the first time I've listened to a twenty one pilots album and didn't immediately know which song was my least favorite. So that's crazy. I've always been able to single out one or two tracks that don't really hit me as hard as the rest. But breach felt like an explosion. So good 😭❤️

[latent ocean]

They could’ve absolutely phoned it in with this album but they didn’t and it’s so weird and I love it

[shut holly]

I love RAWFEAR and Robot voices ❤️

[winged swift]

IT'S FUCKING PEAK

[winged nest]

same

[abstract tusk]

I thought rawfear would be my favorite, but i got catfished by the font 😭

[ionic fractal]

RAWFEAR was nothing how i expected it to me but my expectations were met and passed

[stone whale]

CRAZYY

[upbeat urchin]

City walls was good! The ending made me cry though. I absolutely love downstairs and tally !

[rigid hound]

Where is Tally appreciation? 😭

[wise smelt]

I want to watch the music video with The Line playing

[orchid blade]

Every song is amazing I am going to be stuck looping this for ages

[pastel current]

When they started brawling it was actually epic

[sleek anchor]

I think center mass might be the best song they've ever written low-key!!!!!

[rancid cobalt]

was good just not sure if this means if its the end

[untold karma]

VERY EMOTIONAL

[left bobcat]

TALLY WAS AWESOME

[late sentinel]

i cried

[abstract tusk]

tally is #2 for me, it’s so tuff

[ionic fractal]

Justice for Tally its so good

[latent ocean]

Rawfear being the second song and being all caps and having that title font pissed me off and I think it affected the rest of my first listen very negatively

[crimson urchin]

ruined me!

[normal knoll]

I wasn't ok w the ending :/

[outer herald]

absolutely phenomenal work of art zero skips had me in tears

[fossil lintel]

I love RAWFEAR it’s def in my top three from the album

[tall oar]

i hate them so much, it was awesome

[rigid hound]

Hell yeah

[surreal cloud]

I cried

[unkempt nimbus]

I cried SO MUCH THAT NIGHT I COULDNT SLEEP

[fathom summit]

City Walls is the “You got the bad ending. Try again?” screen

[latent ocean]

I think the ending would’ve been terrible if it was happy

[sleek anchor]

Completely agree it's their only album where every song genuinely felt like a 10/10 for me

[normal knoll]

Tally is so tuff

[lethal sage]

I think it had the ending it needed. sad but also hopeful

[prisma hinge]

so good but i also cried so much

[abstract tusk]

everyone keeps talking about crying but I can never manage to ever cry to a song 😭

[tall oar]

i NEED a drag path mv

[maiden lagoon]

CRYING

[ionic fractal]

PLEASE YES

[lost harness]

I wanted the ending where Torchy and Clancy got married....

[twilit forge]

I finally watched it and fuckin cried

[sleek anchor]

Intentions destroyed me and it destroyed me twice as hard when I listened to it in reverse

[acoustic sorrel]

I need a lore breakdown

[orchid blade]

The fact that City walls ends and hds starts is insanely cool. Also the fact that intentions is truce reversed is incredible. I love everything about this story (and if you include drag path it ties everything together perfectly; it's the song that actually got me to realize how much they've worked on this story)

[rigid hound]

Really?! Tough crowd I see

[outer herald]

for real

[arctic nimbus]

breach is them adding all of their styles from the past decade and a half into one beautiful mess of genre breaking music

[unkempt nimbus]

You guys think they'll go on hiatus?

[manic yoke]

Breach is absolutely fantastic, and I truly loved City Walls. From an artistic perspective, it looked sooo good. But I was lowkey shocked they didn't try to give the ending at least a little bit of a more positive spin on the ending while still keeping the same message

[lapis cloak]

I actually found the ending to be reassuring

[twilit forge]

It happens in an au

[analog glacier]

I HOPE NOT

[dull musk]

Straight up didn’t even listen to that album after how much the MV pissed me off

[patent helm]

It was the damn logos in the credits that got me. LOGOS

[abstract tusk]

like I really love the music and I do want to be able to cry to it, but like i just can’t for some reason

[latent ocean]

The way the first piano note of Truce reverses and it feels like it’s sucking back in the sound is so powerful

[trim sonnet]

I’m actually mad on whoever put dislikes

[unkempt nimbus]

Well I mean Tyler did say he doesn't know what will happen now

[ionic fractal]

I hope they do tbh, I hope they get time to themselves and their families. They all deserve it.

[rigid hound]

Don't fight it man😭

[rotund seal]

that video was just like among us

[flat frigate]

I LOVE IT

[brittle quest]

Good.

[outer herald]

whenever I listen to intentions i just feel all the feels

[dusty orchid]

I really liked how portrayed faith in the mv. TB symbolising Jesus makes so much sense now and just like Jesus TB didn't force Clancy. He did his job, he guided Clancy, gave him direction but in the end he didn't force Clancy's hand the same way Jesus leads and gides us but doesn't force us to make the right or wrong decision

[unkempt nimbus]

Yea

[calm junco]

It's a breach

[trim sonnet]

Yes. I believe so. They deserve it, give them some time to figure out what they do next

[cobalt hatch]

LEVEL UP: You are now level 3!

[fathom summit]

The actual song City Walls ending with HDS kinda bums me out, it should’ve just been in the MV, otherwise it’s a cool album, minus Downstairs somewhat

[formal moon]

just wait til u have something sad or traumatic happen to u while a tøp song is playing 💀

[abstract tusk]

truly is

[lost harness]

Doomed yaoi 🥀

[sleek anchor]

I think they'll take a break for sure. But I'm sure Josh will be uploading on his YouTube channel. Tyler will probably stream fortnite. I fully believe there's no way they'll ever truly stop making music. Tyler has joked in interviews about performing until he gets to make fun of Josh for being too old to backflip, and Josh apparently sent a message to one of the listening parties talking about "more in store for next year". They'll always be here even if it's distantly.

[brittle quest]

Maybe too good…

[analog glacier]

i just hope its not as long of a break as it was between trench and level of concern

[calm junco]

Hehe

[solid loom]

I haven’t seen the musical video but the album was great. Rawfear was disappointing a little though

[unkempt nimbus]

My Dad said they'd do what daft punk did

[abstract tusk]

tbf, I am lucky enough to have not struggled with many things in my life yet, so i probably just don’t relate with the message enough

[sleek anchor]

Why is everyone shitting on raw fear 😭😭😭 that was a top 5 track for me

[analog glacier]

number one for me

[warm orchid]

Yeah rawfear is peak

[latent ocean]

If Rawfear was a metal song the album would be perfect

[brittle quest]

RAWFEAR is so good…

[trim sonnet]

Tally is my fav non lore

[fickle granite]

Personally, I cried the first time I listened to Downstairs. I also cry every time I listen to Leave The City.

I know I'm going to start crying because I start getting goosebumps all over and I realize there's an emotion my body wants me to feel and I just let my brain go where it needs to go. Where it's drawn to. A feeling, an emotion, a memory.

Seeing Leave The City in concert in the pit just did something to my psyche I suppose.

[rotund seal]

i definitely expected RAWFEAR to be a lot more rough/metal-y versus the kinda radio-friendly song we got, but the indepth lyrics make it pretty good none-the-less in my eyes

[pastel current]

Downstairs has to be my favorite I relate with is heavy especially when I was younger and idk if I've ever been quite able to get that feeling into words and hearing it from someone who I admire a lot makes me feel less alone yk. Like I'm not the only one who has a juxtaposing personality

[sweet cobalt]

Yes but it also makes me sad that Clancy couldn’t stay with TB. He wanted to, he really tried. I feel like a lot of us are in that position when it comes to faith.

[solid loom]

The name suggested it to have a lot of intensity imo so that’s why it was disappointing. Still a good song but could’ve been much more

[rigid hound]

It was such a misleading title

[left bobcat]

Anyone else get absolutely SMACKED hearing center mass?? 🥲

[sleek anchor]

Radio friendly is such a lame term 😭 it's a well structured song with pop and indie elements

[latent ocean]

I hated Rawfear the first time I listened to it, but when I woke up the next morning the chorus was stuck in my head

[abstract tusk]

RAWFEAR was amazing anyway, but i couldn’t help but feel lied too the first time i listened to it

[rotund seal]

idk about 'misleading', i think we as a community just forged a different expectation and didnt get what we were expecting

[formal moon]

when i first started listening to them, only a couple of their songs made me emotional, and not enough to cry; i now bawl like a child to my blood, redecorate, and legend 👍

[sleek anchor]

I still remember the first time I heard redecorate omg that song made me sob so much

[latent ocean]

The logo looks absolutely nothing like it sounds tho 😭

[slender obsidian]

dowNstairs tickles my brain🫢

[latent tiger]

I’ve got 1 week to memorize all of these lol. This album was great :D

[rotund seal]

well thats not the title 😼

[outer herald]

lol same here

[trail pasture]

icl i really wanted a rap song again like heavydirtysoul and overcompensate

[burnt plume]

Peak, really like them experimenting new stuff, possibly training for the next non-lore album!!

[raw field]

I think they wrote it and recorded it at the same time as clancy (even because how would they have had the time to record it and write it otherwise?), and it shows.
I liked this album very much but i can feel that there’s something off, like they want to cut ties with fueled by ramen (or something like this) as soon as possibile; and this could be another reason why they won’t do a proper EU tour (plus the reasons tyler wrote on the letter). I dont know, again, i loved it, but i wonder what’s gonna happen next at this point

[bitter garnet]

the contract was kinda it iguess

[lost cove]

Best music video Ive ever seen. Absolutely epic

[burnt plume]

Trueeee but im happy with it

[trail pasture]

yeah i suppose

[outer herald]

already almost done tho

[rotund seal]

ᴰᴼᵂNsᴛᴀɪʀs

[safe shuttle]

Cried

[pastel current]

I hope they use more guitar, cuz like robot voices was so good! Idk y he like never used guitar, get me wrong im a bass girly but yeah

[latent ocean]

Anyone else think it was weird the MV costed $1,000,000???

[latent tiger]

I’ve been at work the past few days ;-; can’t listen to it on loop

[still jacinth]

Absolute cinema

[raw field]

I’d like to say more but in at the theatre rn 💀

[sleek anchor]

I was scared we wouldn't get much rapping after Clancy but I was very shocked by the amazing rap verses in city walls and the contract. Center mass as well the beginning of that song is some to pimp a butterfly shit I was blown away

[dusty orchid]

and with that said, Idk if it's just me but I people don't talk much about the hijacked religion is the true enemy of the story here. Clancy focused so much on not becoming a product of the fear, the system...sin that he became it.

Correct me if I'm wrong but me personally, I've always seen Clancy as Moses, the chosen one to lead his people to freedom but ended up splitting the rock. That's always been my personal take, wht do you think?

[abstract tusk]

samezies, i’ve listened to the album on repeat for two days straight pretty much (ofc i slept)

[rotund seal]

new nickname just dropped

[rigid hound]

I personally love RAWFEAR but the title itself plus written like this, I just immediately thought about something heavy

[trail pasture]

yeah thats fair

[outer herald]

no literally I've gone through every song at least 8 times

[sleek anchor]

Dude there's like 5 songs on this album that feel like the best song they've ever written it blows me away

[naive mauve]

It felt like a whole ass movie

[bitter arch]

I watched it 3 times. I can’t watch it anymore. I cry too hard. I love the song though. Objectively, it is beautifully done. Just can’t handle seeing Clancy become a bishop.

[latent ocean]

The music video was mostly green screen I genuinely don’t understand how it was $1,000,000

[static thicket]

cgi costs a lot of money

[formal moon]

i mean did you see how extensive the credits were?? theres so much that goes into cgi, green screen, costuming, directing, actors...

[latent tiger]

I mean animation is expensive yeah

[rotund seal]

did u see those credits. .. . . . .. . .. . . .. . . .. . . . .. . .. .. . .. . .

also they remade every set

[lament gorge]

Breach is a toxic relationship
I like it but it hurts me

[sleek anchor]

It was not mostly green screen lol Tyler talked about in interviews how they had to fly out to several different locations and rebuild sets for the video. They had to buy another car and blow it up. They had to fly to the jumpsuit mv location and the levitate mv location, set up shots, for about 30 seconds of footage. Not to mention CGI costs a shitton of money, and they pay everyone fairly and equally between the actors, directors, stylists, etc etc etc.

[rotund seal]

"they had to buy another car and blow it up"s gotta be the most dystopian shit i've ever read 😭 but yeah

[abstract tusk]

i keep seeing people messaging their friends about TOP and it makes me so mad that i don’t know a single person who listens to them that i can rant to, i’ve started writing my opinions on the songs on paper 😭 😭 😭

[latent ocean]

There is no way they went to the jumpsuit location I do not believe that 😭😭😭 that looked so fake

[vestal yacht]

Im going insane . Thats what I thought of it .

[formal moon]

they actually went to the jumpsuit location??

[karmic matrix]

It's just alright, probably their worst album

[sleek anchor]

Tyler talked about it in an interview yeah

[ember sluice]

I love it, it’s their best album

[latent ocean]

Just look at the jumpsuit MV compared to City Walls. One is clearly faker than the other

[molten sparrow]

the 35 people who reacted thumbs down are citizens of dema

[formal moon]

holy shit full props to him i so thought that was cgied

[proper sundial]

I loved it!! Made me happy and sad. In a good way. Trust.❤️‍🩹🥹

[high fox]

Even if some of it was CGI, it doesn’t discount the awesome production quality and just pure badass vibes it gives

[rotund seal]

honestly every album has such a different vibe that it's totally valid to say any album is your favorite or least favorite, theres someone with every combination.
but objectively saying 'probably worst/best album' i think is unfair. 'i like it the least/most personally' is a lot more constructive

[wraith rain]

Made me put out first piece of art in years

[sleek anchor]

I'm pretty sure it's due to different directors actually. The cameras feel much more movie-esque compared to the heavy use of grain filters and color wash in previous videos

[latent ocean]

Absolutely. I loved the MV, I just don’t get how it was so expensive

[shy forum]

It’s ok

[vapid ocean]

albums made me sob more times than i can count center mass is my baby and city walls is their best opener

[limber folio]

Peak but why did they have to do this to us

[trail pasture]

Breach? Amazing. City Walls music video? Depressing, epic, sad and also amazing

[sleek anchor]

Like you can definitely tell the water is real lol maybe I'm crazy but it's very obvious to me. I study film in my free time though so maybe I'm just a nerd

[abstract tusk]

imo overcompensate was the best opener of all time

[sinful patrol]

Cried for 3 hrs straight

[formal moon]

anywho in my opinion breach is a very solid entry to their discography; lots of brilliant songs, a sweet (temporary) sendoff while they both are busy with their families :) doesnt top my two favorites, but definitely a top 3 album

[latent ocean]

But Trench feels more stylized. You can especially tell in Paladin Strait and City Walls that it seems they just dialed saturation to 100 and called it a day

[molten sparrow]

twin

[rotund seal]

i love top and i love tyler but honestly he looked sort of a doofus at times in the MV 😭 like he's very obviously not an actor but i love him he's so silly /lovingly

[sleek anchor]

I think overcompensate is close but I love the city walls opener only because it feels like the most cohesive layout of their sound for an album

[gusty glacier]

ITS ALL A CYCLE

[formal moon]

i do agree with you on this, i really miss the directorial style of trench (and even SAI, saturday mv is masterfully produced)

[rotund seal]

like we've all had times where we show a friend top and their reaction is "he looks/sounds like a loser" 😭 its so silly

[full cosmos]

Album so good it gave me a somewhat permanent stomachache. Center Mass changed something in me. City Walls MV is banned on my household but only because it hurts so good. Oh man. What an album!

[drowsy tapir]

it feels very vessel/rab in vibes, the story ended in a way that makes sense, not my favourite album by them but still a really good album!!

[sleek anchor]

Given that saturation fading was a big deal in SaI, especially with Clancy being kidnapped by dema, I like to think it's a display of the saturation returning

[alpine swan]

[high fox]

That definitely lends itself to the fact that it was more of a buildup, the kinda hypeman for the album

[tidal wing]

City Walls is good, but nothing compared to Tally, Center Mass, One Way, Garbage and others. Tbh one of my least favorite songs from here

[abstract tusk]

i honestly know nothing about music, i just know when i wake up and get ready listening to overcompensate and listen to clancy all day i feel badass

[rotund seal]

overcompensate is a great opener and city walls is like a great second act opener, if that makes sense

[forest hazel]

I LOVE BREACH WOO WOO YEAH WOO YEAH WOO YEAH YEAH WOO

[sleek anchor]

Nah I do agree with this it's the best song on Clancy imo. Probably a top 10 song they've ever made

[sinful patrol]

Ehhehe

[sweet cobalt]

Honestly, I think Clancy is Tyler and not a different person. In morph, he says “above is blind belief, under is sword to sleeve,” I think he WANTS to “fly” (like one way and natn). He wants to have faith in Jesus, and if he can’t believe in Jesus, life feels pointless (Aka vialism and neon gravestones)
City walls showed him a place where he can’t figure out how to follow Jesus, but he has figured out a way to get rid of Nico (and thus the religion of vialism, having it represent neon gravestone/death more specifically than sin itself).

I like the idea of Moses / another figure, but I think it’s for people like Tyler (and me) - I WANT to believe, but for some reason my brain won’t let me. What do you think?

[gray ermine]

tragic

[wanton lantern]

Mental anguish

[latent ocean]

Maybe, but even Saturday and The Outside MVs weren’t so colorful. You know it’s bad when the grey cement city looks just as appealing as Trench

[rotund seal]

-# wait, what?
-# wait, what?

[molten sparrow]

as someone who knows a lot about music, i feel the exact same way

[formal moon]

overcompensate is so iconic that even in a breach thread we're still talking about her ❤️

[ornate nacelle]

Downstairs and rawfear are my favourite songs, cottonwood hurts in a good way, and city walls had me rolling when i was watching for the first time

[pearl current]

[abstract tusk]

[high fox]

-# earned my stripes

[sleek anchor]

That's the idea, the music for Sai was made under the eyes of dema. It was used for propaganda. But Clancy was made for the banditos. It was made with hope, with drive. Hence the saturation

[serene badge]

Emotional masterpiece, I love it sm 😭

[fathom crown]

Peak Twenty One Pilots

[pearl belfry]

tyler joseph im coming for your ankles/j

[latent ocean]

I was talking about Paladin and City Walls, too colorful imo

[rotund seal]

in my opinion, i dont think im gonna be listening to cottonwood/intentions very much just because they are a whole different vibe. they totally made me cry though. definitely gonna listen to them on their own but not in my sorta main top playlist

[rancid sleet]

its awesome, sad and emotional but so silly in some moments

[swift pelican]

i originally didnt like city walls' MV cus i had a Lot going on in my life and i felt like it was a hopeless ending. but now that i finally listened to breach today (i was Going Through It) it feels so much more hopeful and honestly it was exactly what i needed. just had to remember that while i relate to clancy, i need to be torchbearer. absolute peak, actually devastating for real

[sleek anchor]

I get what you mean but I disagree they're so PRETTY 😍😍 it's like they turned Minecraft rtx on

[molten sparrow]

REALLY??? OMG WHERE

[high fox]

-# acting gobsmacked don’t hesitate

[rotund seal]

honestly, i dont agree with city walls being a "bad" or "bleak" ending. it's just not a fantasy ending? its realistic and it does get better, paint lower / sunnier / 'farthest we've got'. i really appreciate them not humoring a fantasy that we'll be okay immediately, but telling us that it's going to take a lot of trying

[sour copper]

I'm really sad about it

[latent ocean]

I also just felt like the City Walls MV was made on a soundstage. Especially in the Jumpsuit segment. In the original Jumpsuit MV you get this sense of scale from the city (the city DEFINITELY got smaller in later MVs) to the mountains and Tyler just being so small around them. But in City Walls they feel like dioramas, like they’re only 10-15 feet tall. It feels like a green screen is all I’m saying.

[karmic matrix]

Breach lost what I loved about tøp, in previous albums basically all the songs felt like they stood out on their own somehow, now they they just feel bland and similar. Can barely understand the lyrics, and most of the lyrics fucking suck, it just feels like they're saying shit just to further the song, no longer having any point a lot of the time, this was also noticeable on clancy but it got a lot worse on breach

[rain furnace]

It's exactly what it needed to be, in the best way possible

[high fox]

-# I fly by the dangerous bend symbol

[latent ocean]

Please give me an example of what you mean by bad lyrics

[abstract tusk]

-# don’t hesitate to maybe overcompensate

[haughty sentinel]

The best ending

[solid beacon]

All of it was peak anyone who hates it is just coming up with imaginary things to hate on

[rotund seal]

this is one of their more complex albums imo lyrically. like what does robot voices even fully mean, the entire raw fear lyrics? micro-dose to immunity is insanely cool

[abstract tusk]

i have no idea with one way and robot voices, still decoding them

[latent ocean]

And Intentions as a whole is so vague but so great

[high fox]

It’s a lot more poetic and you have to dig a little more to understand them, especially since they aren’t referencing the lore anymore

[snow relic]

I cried hard. It's amazing!

[karmic matrix]

I don't have any examples, just saying what I feel about it. None of the lyrics catch my ears whatsoever, unlike older albums. I maybe shouldve worded it differently

[heady smelt]

i loved the lore (Trench is still THE GOATTT) but i’m also excited to see what they make outside of it

[rustic spear]

Was epic

[high fox]

-# by the time I catch in my peripheral

[crimson lion]

Emotional damage

[ashen orbit]

the callbacks to previous MVs was glorious

[royal knoll]

It’s meaning is just so perfect like it’s so peak

[tawdry bison]

Bro can someone just explain why the fuck Clancy is a bishop now? Like what?

[rustic spear]

The cycle never ends

[latent ocean]

I suppose that’s a personal thing. I felt the same way my first listen, but after a second listen I felt much better. I can think of a lot of memorable lyrics: “you tore me up more than you know” “micro-dose to immunity” “sounds of empty uzis” etc

[solid beacon]

It’s on par with trench for me and that’s why it’s doing so well in charts !! 🤷‍♀️

[abstract tusk]

i mean that’s one way to end the cycle 🤷

[rotund seal]

i think why people are off-put by the album is that, idk how to put it, but some songs definitely feel more "radio"-y, which references blurryface/trench, and there's also sorta an electronic/sci-fi vibe on some of the songs. which references older stuff. its a really cool combo imo but i can understand how it's off-putting for this anti radio comformity band to release a more radio-friendly album. i think their soul and essence is still totally dripping though, and again the album is really complex when you look deeper into lyrics. they totally supplement it

[royal knoll]

He’s fighting himself

[latent ocean]

Dripping 💧😩

[tawdry bison]

Yeah, the cycle of depression and insecurity, but now he BECAME that depression and insecurity, so he's no better than he was 14 years ago?

[hidden ermine]

Man, the music video killed me, but this goddamn album (including Drag Path) is the musical peak of the first half of the decade lol

[rotund seal]

i will kill you with hammers

[abstract tusk]

no yeah i agree, I didnt really get what becoming a bishop symbolized

[high fox]

Basically, it is a cycle. Because the whole story is a metaphor for mental struggle, you can never really fully cure mental turmoil. It’ll always be there.
But the end, Josh says “We’ll find him again, we always do” he means that even though it got hard again, we will find a way to make it better.
Mental health is a cycle, and you can never truly get to a stable spot, but the persistence to keep going is what matters

[vestal thicket]

this is not even subjective, you're objectively wrong.

[latent ocean]

He replaced his old fears with new ones, beginning the cycle again

I.E. “Wait, who’s the new kid?”

[solid beacon]

think of it as he’s sick and tired of nico/his mental struggles always catching up to him and finding him. he can end that by becoming a bishop. that’s him being irrational and wanting to be set free. i can’t knock him for that

[tawdry bison]

Yeah, you can't get stable. But you can get better, no? Like, becoming the embodiment of his pain and his mental anguish means he's no better off than ever

[abstract tusk]

his raw fears got refined

[rustic spear]

apparently 😭

[crystal sparrow]

I think it's a really good ending for the story. It's not a "good ending" in the way that it's a happy end, but it's a good way to end the story. It actually was an end I had in mind, I already thought about it so I wasn't really surprised by the path it took. BUT ! The MV is soooo good ! And how they made it, that was surprising. I'm always amazed by what they do. The song, the movie (because, don't lie, it feels like watching a movie), it's stunning, and I won't recover from this easily, I know it ! So, to sum up everything, I love it !!

[heady smelt]

but it’s a little better this time. More light, more greenery, less dark paint. TB is the true symbol of hope, not Clancy

[rotund seal]

you kinda have to remember all of these characters are a piece of tyler. he didn't "become" a bishop, it's just that his bishops (issues) got less bad, and his clancy (pushing through) got transferred back to the beginning of the cycle ("thats not clancy anymore")

[dusty nymph]

At first I didn’t really liked it but I just love it now. I also loved the music video, except I’m really sad about that ending… I’m probably wrong about it but it really looks like a defeat, what does that mean if clancy’s becoming a bishop in real life ? does that mean that he will never leave the city and the cycle will never break? I mean that’s not what Tyler taught us, even tho the message « try again » is here, if the story ends like this, it looks like it’s useless to try again do you get what I mean?😪 (I’m sorry English is not my first language)

[karmic matrix]

Well womp womp, I'm disappointed at the album, even if I'm wrong

[trail turret]

my fav song was tally and i loved the mv it made me cry

[abstract tusk]

OHHH thanks for the explanation!

[latent ocean]

Not true, it’s an opinion

[left star]

It’s sad, my mind is now shipwrecked on an Island of violence

[rustic spear]

I like to think he makes Dema better

[high fox]

You can def get better yeah, but like I said you can never stay in that place.
I think there might be some more as to why he turned into the embodiment of his fears and insecurities but I think the overall meaning is the cycle of mental health

[latent ocean]

How many times have you listened to the album?

[plain lantern]

Epic, artistic, real, meta, with a touch of heartbreak. Love that they did an Inception-style ending where you can decide what it means for yourself (and the meaning to you will likely change with you as you age).

It's a masterpiece.

[rotund seal]

its poetic having the other band member be the torchbearer, because the torchbearer kinda symbolizes outside help / support and feels the least like a piece of tyler

[tawdry bison]

So what you're saying is that he's tired of running from his own problems and has decided to embrace them? To become what he feared?

[high fox]

The only land your mind could find?

[solid beacon]

it’s one way to look at jt, at least from my perspective lore based. i think the MAIN thing here is the cycle of depression and mental illness and it’s perfectly done

[abstract tusk]

Did you know it was such a violent island?

[high fox]

Is it full of tidal waves?

[hearty sapphire]

literally burst into tears when Clancy put the robe on, the fact that he wouldn't look Torchbearer in the eye 💔

[tawdry bison]

Suicidal crazed lions?

[solid beacon]

it’s the fact he can’t see yellow anymore

[ancient hawk]

Been listening to Breach, blindfolded, in a dark room, for the past hour

[abstract tusk]

Are they trying to eat you?

[dusty nymph]

Can we talk about their acting ??? Especially Josh he should def act

[high fox]

Blood running down their chin?

[vale warren]

they created music 2.0, just amazing

[latent ocean]

My least favorite song is probably One Way

[vestal thicket]

well then just listen to old stuff and stop complaining ig

[abstract tusk]

my least favorite was garbage (unironically)

[quasi phoenix]

PEAK

[karmic matrix]

I don't really listen to albums like that, that may actually be my issue with it. I usually just listen to individual songs off it I like, and put them into separate playlists, and here's there's only like 2 or 3 songs that I like enough to ever seek out, while on older albums that was 90% of the songs, that's the diff for me, but yes maybe listening to it more would change my mind

[latent ocean]

I absolutely loved garbage lol

[frozen mauve]

My least favorite is rawfear 🫣

[abstract tusk]

do you know that you can fight them?

[granite goblet]

The City Walls MV, man… I’m still processing it, cant believe it’s over
Clancy becoming a bishop was something that we definitely saw coming, but didn’t want to believe.
It may be bittersweet for some but it makes sense, when you struggle with your mind you cant just get rid of it, but you can fight so it becomes easier, as Torchbearer said: we’ll try again… always.
The video had an incredible acting, the scenes were beautiful and they fit perfectly with the lyrics
And intentions at the end credits… that hit hard

[karmic matrix]

Brother it's a thread talking about what people think of the album, if you only wanna hear people who think it's peak go somewhere else

[high fox]

Or you can let the lion win

[steep roost]

its a breach

[small ivy]

I frikin love the song, (city walls), but the music video kinda pissed me off, (i was hoping for a happy ending)

[abstract tusk]

I’m pretty sure you can assemble all the weapons you can find, right?

[latent ocean]

My first time through I honestly would’ve given it like a 5/10. But the more I listen to it the better it gets. Right now I’m looking at like a 9/10. I’d recommend listening to it in a different state of mind, at a different time of day than your first listen. Then it all comes together. I hated garbage the first time through but when you listen to it while walking it’s really good lol

[wheat halo]

I PROPER UGLY CRIED AT THE CITY WALLS MV 😭

[high fox]

Well sometimes to stay alive you gotta kill your mind

[crimson hinge]

they are inventing a new mental asylum thanks to their actions.. (so many theories.. We are never free.)

[ancient hawk]

The song is better if I'm not watching the music video at the same time
Same with the other MV songs. Sounded not great the first time, but then better after. Just had too much to comprehend watching the video and listening to the music

[latent ocean]

Part of it is just meeting the album on its own terms. When you understand the bones of a song, you learn to appreciate more of it.

[shy forum]

Better wait a bit. And literally like 60% of top songs the lyrics aren’t clear. Still dunno what half the trench songs mean, until .

[abstract tusk]

am i the only one I know?!?!?

[crimson hinge]

MIGRAINE I cant spell

[karmic matrix]

I suppose I'll give it a shot, Imma try listening to it all the way through next time I go on a walk 🙏

[frozen mauve]

I agreed w you at first, my first listen I felt a little disappointed and a lot of the songs sounded repetitive and overproduced. But after listening to the album in full 3+ times there’s a lot I love about it and it has grown on me so much. There’s a lot of creativity and ingenuity in the song structures and callbacks that just tie together the story really well

[high fox]

WAGING MY WARS

[abstract tusk]

BEHIND MY FACE

[latent ocean]

Imo, this is a daytime album. Clancy is more of a nighttime album

[deft shuttle]

My ears were blessed. All I gotta say

[charred ibex]

SO GOOD OF COURSE

[high fox]

AND ABOVE MY THROAT

[verbal cypress]

I cried. I never cry, but I cried.

[abstract tusk]

listening to clancy is one of my routines in the night

[latent ocean]

I listen to that shit as I walk the layout

[abstract tusk]

SHADOWS WILL SCREAM THAT IM ALONE

[high fox]

BUT I KNOW WE’VE MADE IT THIS FAAAAAAAAAAR

[abstract tusk]

I mean i sometimes get tired of it, but it just keeps coming around

[high fox]

It is tough to find good company 😔

[karmic matrix]

Gonna yap a bit more
It feels like if rosemary by deftones was a full album, but with a lower payoff. just quickly skimming over it, it's kind of mid, but when you're really in the zone for it the good parts become fucking heavenly, with all the build up especially. although idk maybe

[abstract tusk]

kid :)

[latent ocean]

That seems reasonable

[analog chasm]

IT WAS GOOD. but sad. Thats the end of their lore, and it makes me sad that that's how it ends. Clancy became a Bishop, while torch left and said "we will try again", but if first because their lore has a mental health meaning of a cycle, so they are just going back in the cycle of trying to save clancy

[abstract tusk]

thanks for reassuring my original thought, finding good company is hard

[sweet cobalt]

Which songs do you feel are radio-friendly? Tbh I can’t picture any of them on the radio for some reason

[frozen mauve]

I feel like a lot of tøps stuff is like that- it seems mid or cringey at surface level but when you really dig deep and understand what the message is and the way they use music to convey that message it becomes really beautiful and creative. Intentions are everything 🥹

[high fox]

Album is so beautiful, it’s like the space between

[abstract tusk]

it’s a painful reminder of a terrible dream I had one time

[brittle tide]

I cried and then died and then cried and then died again

[latent ocean]

Garbage

[gloomy dock]

I dont like knowibg that clancy has to go down the path of a bishop, after working so hard to overcome. Clancy's fate is sealed, which is sad. Torchbearer had no choice but to move on.

[frozen mauve]

I could see rawfear as a radio song tbh, maybe days lie dormant as well

[oblique sleet]

I love the album and I'm blown away by the story telling and how they play with music 🎶 City walls was an epic way to end it xx

[frozen mauve]

Also robot voices

[high fox]

My days are blurring cuz of how much I listen to this album

[grim kelp]

I cried a lot and made a meme. I can’t share it here though bc it’s a video

[fiery kraken]

breach is fire

[abstract tusk]

I gtg, but you are the coolest person I have ever met

[high fox]

Haha thanks dude you are too
Had a fun time doing Karaoke with you lol

[vagrant escarp]

It was bøth incredibly gøød. Sø dammit gøød, it made me cry.
Cørrectiøn, It makes me cry all day. I cøuld fill a pøøl with my tears. (See what I did there? )
My favv søng is prølly Øne Way

[abstract tusk]

you better keep coming around, i’ll see ya later hopefully

[upbeat mirage]

Crazy 🗿

[fossil kernel]

honestly with the way the album was marketed I was expecting a more metal sound lol

[high fox]

See you around dude

[mellow shore]

I cried at the listening party and still love it all… I still have lore questions though?

[subtle current]

Im not okay. I love it though

[versed sedge]

Same

[deep shale]

I think that's exactly why Intentions was the follow-up/ending, he truly believes he will

[pliant furnace]

It's beautiful. They definitely worked hard on this one. I'm proud of the boys ♡

[buoyant anchor]

Cried a lot

[rustic spear]

aw yh I almost cried 😭

[vagrant escarp]

Tru 🥺

[normal galleon]

felt like the end of the Peter Jackson LOTR trilogy. Loved it but don’t want it to be the end.

[final harness]

Devastated but yet satisfied and sad and happy but I'm glad of the story and the beautiful ending and agahaha

[vagrant escarp]

Intentions was such a gøød møvie ending

[strong pumice]

It retired my former favorite album, it truly felt like the end and made me highly emotional, I cried. I like that the ending shows a slimmer of hope in city walls, and Downstairs is SO PEAK

[final harness]

Broo yesssss

[gray ore]

Sobbed

[raven nymph]

I cried

[wanton fog]

still crying

[final harness]

My mouth made a sad face

[vagrant escarp]

Maybe it's just me høping før it, but I don't feel like it's the end.

Like, I have the feeling øur Clancy still will break the cycle.

[compact venture]

I was not expecting intentions and credits, it made the impact of the music video much bigger. Breach is amazing, I went to my local music store and bought it on cd today. Robot voices is something else man, it's an amazing song. "Moi death" and "girl I don't think you should take that" in center mass is insane, Tyler Joseph you sneaky little snake. I'm not angry at the ending at all, I've been dealing with all sorts of mental health issues all my life and it makes alot of sense. Lately it's been rough, after I finished the album I felt really motivated to do better with myself. tøp has told us to stay alive, now they're telling us to live our lives. Live, not survive if that makes sense. That being said, with drag path released, I don't think it's quite over. "don't give up on me" in garbage, "how did you find me?" In robot voices, and "did you learn a thing?" in intentions maybe point to something we need to be looking for. Idk, maybe when tour comes around we'll get some more answers.

[simple pagoda]

yk how you can hear the heavy dirty soul static sound near the end of city walls?

[vagrant escarp]

Yup

[cerulean bone]

BREACH IS PURE GOLD

[simple pagoda]

i feel like that like- symbolizes that the cycle is repeating once more. cause its going back to WHERE it started, hds.

as much as i want to hope that bishop clancy wont bring back vialism, it may be just copium

[rotund seal]

rawfear, one way, garbage, downstairs imo. maybe tally

[trail pasture]

l o v e

extraordinary production

[vagrant escarp]

But if it is starting again then, før me it feels like it's gønna be the last time. "I believe that this is the last time", wasn't that what TB said?

[void bough]

Intentions I think was kinda cool, but really felt kinda lazy ngl

[unique granite]

Beautiful. Cried my eyes out. But beautiful none the less 😭

[vagrant escarp]

That's what I'm saying. It døn't feels like the end. Ah!

[rotund seal]

it was cool but definitely a little on the simpler side, i think to echo back to vessel's slower feeling songs

[sage brook]

didnt really like this album unfort. twenty one pilots has this pattern for me of making one album i really like followed by another album i really dont like. vessel (love), blurryface (dislike but nostalgic), trench (love), scaled and icy (hate), clancy (like), and now breach (dislike)

[vagrant escarp]

The "girl I really don't think yøu shøuld take that" made me støp the søng and watch that vid again 😭

[void bough]

I got that in the 11 songs before it

[rotund seal]

12?

[void bough]

City walls exists

[sage brook]

its why when i talk about them to my friends i call them a "lightswitch" band because tyler joseph and josh dun dont like making music that i like or dislike for more than one album

[rotund seal]

intentions is the 13th song im confused wym by 11

[void bough]

You said the song tries to capture the vessel feeling, just I already got that in the 11 songs prior, excluding itself and city walls

[pliant furnace]

I want to believe that the new Clancy will break the cycle, but I don't think there will be a music video for it

[warm dust]

1. It was sick, I was extremely invested in the Clancy vs Nico fight
2. The I-/ symbol took me by surprise, but felt so so satisfying, the ending we've all waited for
3. Then the... That. I can't stop crying and turning into a blubbering mess on the ending

[vagrant escarp]

City walls...
But øn øne ør møre øf the cøncerts, didn't we see the City burning??
Døes this mean Dema is gøing tø burn down??

[rotund seal]

unrelated but i think it's cool how well you can define someones music taste based on their ranking of top albums

[sage brook]

that being said, i didnt hate it, and unlike sai i'm walking away with at least one song that i genuinely loved (drum show)

[vagrant escarp]

Prølly yea

[void bough]

I get disappointed when the first single ends up being my favorite on the album, and that's what sadly happened here :/

[trail pasture]

Finslly slowmode here omg

[warm dust]

I have a taboo in my head about City Walls

[trail pasture]

Thats not true😔

[pliant furnace]

Don't be disappointed. City Walls is great

[timber drift]

what do i think? WHAT DO I THINK?

i sobbed. then sobbed again. then sobbed another time. then felt quirky and sobbed more because why not?

[rotund seal]

tyler went OFF with his vocals in this one, like the downstairs rough singing "I FEEL BETTER IN THE CELLAR DOWN THERE" was so immaculate. days lie dormant has some amazing vocals too. their vocal mixing is also really clean on this one

[warm dust]

It's okay

[void bough]

I do a lot of jazz and use what I've learned to decipher a lot of songs; City Walls is one of the first TøP songs to use what I call "the cool note" and make it the center of the sound

[vagrant escarp]

1. Yea, it was SICK, my brain was like "øøøh, bøss fight "
2. THAT. Was sø gøød
3. I am søbbing just thinkin abt it 🥺 😭

[warm dust]

Oh no hearing you cried makes me cry right now

[opaque oar]

oh no

[white ferry]

Nut

[vagrant escarp]

Døwnstairs is living and running free in my brain, halp

[sage brook]

ah, as for the demo rework, it was nice to hear fetus tyjo (to bring back 2016 fandom terms) again in big 2025, but the "save" remaster remains my favorite deep cut

[shell nest]

i can't stop listen city walls.

[warm dust]

Clayze are you former Clancy?

[vagrant tartan]

Hi, why does dema look like a castle now

[vagrant escarp]

-# Sshhhh, nøt sø løud!

[pliant furnace]

Wow, that's really interesting. "The cool note"? I've never heard someone use that term to refer to a note before. 🤔

[loud narwhal]

absolutely AMAZING! cried many times though

[warm dust]

I see you're lurking in the trenches

[vagrant escarp]

Me! Tøø!

[vagrant escarp]

I- nø.

[light kite]

eternally sobbing but also so so proud and happy

[warm dust]

Square up with me, I can take you right to the left, pair up with me, I can take you right to the chest

[desert wing]

I cried. I was absolutely devastated, but thinking about it now it actually does make sense as the 'end' of this story. and the album did not disappoint at all, I think it's like one of their best albums ever

[vagrant escarp]

I WØNDER WHERE YØU ARE! I WANTED YØU TØ SHØW ME, A WAY ARØUND THE CITY WALLS...

[wide valley]

i feel like city walls mv was this grand epic ending, but going back to neon gravestones is like getting a full explanation to what it means for tyler

[final harness]

How'd put downstairs like that? ;-;

[silent cave]

Betrayed. But peak

[void bough]

Y'know how the diminished chord is defined by one note and that's the sharp 5th? The scale (key) of a song can use that in cool ways, like how City Walls uses it in the part at 2:09 (second rap part)

[vagrant escarp]

What are yøu laughing at banditø? Yøu're next!
Takes øut seizing hørns

[pliant furnace]

Ah, I see 🤔

[warm dust]

Are we making another breach listening party here guys?

A WAY ON THROUGH! I WONDER WHERE YOU ARE! I WANTED YOU TO SHOW ME! BUT NOW THE NIGHT HAS FALLEN! ABANDONED BY THE SUN

It was crazy, like I went through 7 stages of grief about the ending.

Clancy and Nico is smth i never expected but it's hells cool

[warm dust]

prepares for an epic boss fight

[vagrant escarp]

Me tøø, but nøw løøking at it, it makes møst sense

[vagrant escarp]

Yøu wanna fight? With what weapøn?

[outer elk]

Fuckass ending, amazing music video tho

[warm dust]

I'm still processing it
I tried doing a summary for my TOP presentations but I can't write it without sobbing and having my eyes dry to a crisp

[jade lagoon]

I lwk cried ngl

[warm dust]

you wanna fight not me

[vagrant escarp]

This mørning I was eating my breakfast, then I remembered the mv and started søbbing again

[quaint wing]

I understand, it was extremely emotional

[opaque meadow]

absolute cinema !

[vagrant escarp]

Is that sø? Then why are yøu preparing yøurself like før a bøssfight?

[rustic ocean]

City Walls makes me feel nostalgic. I love the entire album!❤️

[quaint wing]

It makes the most sense, I can agree with that. Tyler has been one to make sure this story is realistic

[storm drift]

As much as I wanted a fairytale ending where Clancy defeats nico for good and everyone lives happily ever after, I knew that wasn't realistic

[warm dust]

Just thinking about it makes me cry
I was lurking in the top fandom website, saw bishop clancy and barely held back my tears

[rotund seal]

I used superscript for the DOW and I used small caps for the stairs! ᴰᴼᵂNsᴛᴀɪʀs <-- you can copy it if u want

CLANCY AND THE NINERS, OOHHH

[storm drift]

I know its meant to be a cycle and the point is to keep fighting, but the line "this is the last time that I try" in city walls worries me

[warm dust]

Right until the finale I was convinced Clancy would ALMOST become a bishop but they'd save him, or he'd save himself
Oh boy 😭😭

[vagrant escarp]

Maybe- maybe it means sømething gøød?

[final harness]

Thank you, thank you
(I kinda did ig)

[vagrant escarp]

[warm dust]

I saw all the clues confirming he'd become a bishop, everyone was talking about it, but just like everyone I was in denial

[final harness]

I original was sad for the ending but I now realized it was the best way for the ending ig yk?

[warm dust]

Yeah
They couldn't be running it forever after all

[final harness]

And happy ending would still make people like "well now what, and unsatisfied"
Best Ending For The Message

[vagrant escarp]

But like, imagine if the bøis just chøse the ending that søld øut øut fastest with the cd-bøxes. The møst pøpular.

[warm dust]

And would be quite unrealistic, since you don't really defeat mental illness

[final harness]

Real

But we'll try again, always

[warm dust]

It can get better for sure but sometimes it comes back, you have to put in consistent effort to keep yourself in check

[opal lintel]

Breach was really good, and the city walls mv was sad at first but after seeing a lot of explanations from other clique members I feel a lot better about it

[vale citrus]

the cycle repeats 😢😢

honestly the best way they could have ended it though

[clear ermine]

I cried so fucking hard. I don't know what I would do without my friend crying with me

[narrow ginkgo]

I sobbed several times which was CRAZY because I never cry so listening to breach for the first time was an emotionally taxing experience. I can’t stop listening to it, I think this is their best album EVER, and I will be listening to it for a year straight

[warm dust]

I don't really have friends to cry with me but I yapped to my friend group about the whole storyline and how emotional I felt after the finale. They won't empathize but at least they can sympathize

[warm dust]

Always.

[vagrant escarp]

That line made me sø sad. First I was like "wøw, TB talked!"
Then I turned intø "øh..." 🥺

[warm dust]

I just remember something. When the trailer for Breach came out, the one with the snippets of songs and the lyrics, I commented that this album was going to be intense
I cried on most of the songs

[rotund seal]

my top 3 songs (no particular order) are tally, center mass, and drag path
who agrees

[vagrant escarp]

Før me City walls, øne way, center mass

[warm dust]

mine are drum show, center mass, and either drag path or city walls

[frozen mauve]

For me downstairs, drum show, and either drag path or intentions

[warm dust]

I can't stop vibing to city walls while drag path makes me feel small and like a sad sack

[vagrant escarp]

Fr 😭

[rotund seal]

i need a drag path mv

[final harness]

TØP 5 BREACH
DOWNSTAIRS
DRUM SHOW
DAYS LIE DORMANT
CITY WALLS
THE CONTRACT

[wind sedge]

I agree with Avery. I feel like Drag Path DESERVES a music video

[warm dust]

Btw I realised that with the lyrics "This is the last time that I try" Clancy is either setting himself up for failure because you can't really defeat a mental illness, or believes he's not strong enough to handle this again. Or maybe he's just hopeful idk

Just throwing ideas here

[storm drift]

Essay incoming lol

When I first watched the mv I was just like oh god oh fuck he lost he become what he swore to defeat

But now I interpret it like... he was always fighting himself. mental illness isn't some scary guy in a mask and robe, its part of you. You are your own blurryface. And thats why it's so devastating. I wish I could just beat up some evil guy and be healed, but that's not how it works.

Sometimes it feels like its taking over us completely (Clancy becoming the bishop), but we keep fighting, we find our own torchbearer, whether its a real person or just something that gives you hope

[warm dust]

You've just made me cry it's so golden 😭

[final harness]

"Give this man a medal"

[storm drift]

I assumed that line meant he was gonna win and then I was like. Oh.😭

This is FANTASTIC. & I couldn't agree more

Anyway I can't rank my fav song but I made a list of which ones I like best for different moods lol

[warm dust]

"now it's the climax to the story that gives the demons and angels purpose, they fly around while we are walking, and mold our emotion just to please them"

[storm drift]

i want to dance to: rawfear, robot voices, days lie dormant
i WOULD dance to if i wasn't so sad: downstairs, center mass, tally
i want to scream: city walls, drum show, the contract, center mass
makes me cry everytime: city walls, intentions, drag path
for chillin/vibin: one way
comforting: intentions, drag path
stuck in my head: one way, drag path
i want to hear live: rawfear, drum show, downstairs, intentions, drag path
relate to the most: garbage, center mass, tally

[vale citrus]

it's still so hard to believe the story of dema is over 😭😭😭

[slender portal]

Idk I needed this album. I've been going through a lot this past week and they always seem to release it when I need it. Definitely enjoyed the album. The music video was good. Garbage andcenter mass are my favs for sure

[storm drift]

Oh thats longer than I thought lol

[warm dust]

I screamed to city walls today and had a mental breakdown after

[stiff mango]

PEAKKKK

[warm dust]

NOVA BISHOP 😭😭

CRYING, THROWING UP, PUNCHING THE WALL

[warm dust]

I was home alone today, so I could just sing and scream however much I wanted
God I wish it happened more often, it'd be an answer to most of my problems

[ionic linden]

it was super depressing :( it made me think tho which is always good
definitely worth the 1b
not that i’d be spending that

[hot moth]

I felt like someone gave me a factory reset.

[pliant kayak]

I am definitely in the minority but I didn't really care for the overall album all too much 😞 I liked Drum Show, Downstairs, Intentions, and Raw Fear

as for city walls, the song is amazing and probably my favorite song of the album. The video was also ELITE

[hazy plank]

Heartbreaking I was crying so hard

[compact needle]

city walls and center mass are SO good 😭

[elder gyro]

I think Breach is a good album. Got some great songs.
The City Walls audio isn’t one of my favorites, but it is good. 8.5/10.
The video though was awesome. The fight was a little dramatic imo, but I love how it flashbacks to all the other MVs with Nico. The end of the story is very bittersweet, but I am happy to have an official end.

[pine flume]

i really enjoyed both and have been listening to breach on repeat since it came out

[rotund seal]

i didnt know you could download local desktop files (like drag path) on ur phone this is SO game changing

[cobalt hatch]

LEVEL UP: You are now level 2!

MV was peak but kinda depressing. Breach is looking to be my 3rd favorite album of all time. 3. RAWFEAR 2. Garbage 1. One Way

[trail roost]

devestated about how torch couldn’t break the cycle but lwk giggled at how clancy and nico fought

n breach is so fire ive had it on repeat ever since it came out

[proper solar]

so like i love it the songs are fire including city walls and i understand the intended message but i did not follow this shit since i was 9 years old just to not even get the good ending

[lyric swift]

Absolute cinema

[merry beacon]

Cinema

[next panther]

[rotund seal]

Tally's first 25 seconds is the best part of the album imo

[rotund seal]

honestly, i dont agree with city walls being a "bad" or "bleak" ending. it's just not a fantasy ending? its realistic and it does get better
-# (paint lower / sunnier / 'farthest we've got')

it's honestly kind of a good ending. it shows progression, which is important.

i really appreciate them not humoring a fantasy that we'll be okay immediately, but telling us that it's going to take a lot of trying.

[robust crypt]

I feel absolutely devastated, hurt, and betrayed but I love it!!

[severe sedge]

RV 🔛 🔝

[rotund mesa]

greatest moment of my life

[bold tinsel]

cured me

[languid finch]

Feel like my heart's broken, I love it as much as I hate it. Can't stop listening to it. Can't wait for the tour (going to the Bangor, ME show)

[final belfry]

i absolutely sobbed the entire time but it was perfect

[grizzled niche]

I liked the part where nico and clancy made ammends and then had a nice picnic and nothing bad happened 😊

[final belfry]

devistated i can't go to the concerts

[green shore]

I haven’t cried that hard in a minute. I started BAWLING at the end of Tally and my family was very concerned. I needed that tho

[steep elm]

The album is so goooooood you guys 😭

[scarlet shuttle]

the album is so peak

but i watched the city walls music video and my smile disappeared

[sour ruin]

I cried when I remembered it was the last one for a while.....

[sleek elbow]

Amazing and emotional

[keen nymph]

cinema

[olive pike]

Peak, but made me cry

[junior shoal]

ABSOLUTELY PEAK

[unborn cipher]

deliciouso my dudes

[wooden folio]

I love this album so much and with each listen I find new things to love about it. For instance Rawfear - 'nipping heals' or heal nippers are kids at your feet. I think this song is actually about his kids and how little time you get with them as you get older. How the 'new kid' is another anxiety of fearing for your kids as you navigating being a parent. Rawfear keeps you on your toes. Time doesn't slow down, it just goes faster. Nothing is ever the same after you become a parent.

[wet sparrow]

I LOVED the religious themes throughout breach like in downstairs, center mass, etc

[scarlet sail]

I cried like a big baby

[brisk swift]

i love it all so much

[zinc forge]

Cried for 2 hours 😭😭

[fossil willow]

the Contracts music video had so many insanely creative effects I was blown away

[tidal gust]

I cried for hours, even got rid of my clancy jacket seeing as I could only ever think of betrayal when I saw it, but the album itself was amazing, as someone's who favourite tøp album is trench, this is very much like trench on steroids, and even has some elements from every other album, mainly vessel but i felt some SAI based moments in a good way, likely because both in the I am clancy video tyler says "getting better at it with every attempt", and with their being less black on bishop clancy vs nico, and dema being sunny now, so tyler could be bettering himself with every fight mentally

[wild oyster]

Their Best MV of all time. It was amazing.

[gray edge]

It's lowkey untoppable.

[dim flower]

Absolutely amazing - I know we’re supposed to focus on Clancy’s intentions (he did his best!) but I really wanted to see him do better 😦 I agree with that bandito - I really liked this Clancy 😭

[stray cave]

personally ive sobbed atleast 3 times now to it bc i love torturing myself. absolutely amazing mv 10/10 would watch again

[mystic night]

Very exciting and very emotional. When I first heard City Walls at a listening party I knew that the music video would be devastating… and I was right

[viscid glade]

breach is fire. wailed like someone killed my whole family while watching city walls. i was super devastated by the ending at first but after more thought i think it makes the most sense and is actually the best depiction, as much as it hurts. i love rewatching it, the fight scene is so fun and it's kinda a little bit funny to watch tyler get his ass kicked. just a little. but ive become somehow even more excited for my concert. and drag path is an incredible bonus ending that gives more closure but i accidentally fell asleep with it on repeat so now it sounds a little weird and i cant listen to it again for awhile 💔

[late edge]

breach is so good, but not as good as clancy
