Oh man I'd love to watch this right now but I just finished listening to the album and it 3:30 pm and my brain is DECEASED. But you bet I'll be here tomorrow case this going to be SICK AS FRIK !!!!!! 😆😆😆😆
Just in case you were wondering most of the happy sounding songs were supposed to be like that to make dema look better in thier universe and that's y the mood switched completely in the last 2 songs.
I had a feeling the over the top happiness was just the Bishops was of like sucking us in…in the live stream last night it kept breaking to “commercial” where these two ppl where advertising scaled and icy to us…but then it showed Tyler in front of the tv watching it…and it looked as if for a second he was like questioning it…but then he just snapped back to “reality” and continued to preform Saturday
Good Day is Tyler writing from the perspective of how he would feel in the first week after losing his wife and kid. Like he would just be in such insane denial and pretending like everything is fine. It's such a happy sounding song but behind all that is a super dark reality.
@@amirfilmsstuff893 It depends on how you feel about the song, the lyrics can be dark but to me it’s just an example giving as a message to live in the moment, just as on your bad days you have a bad time, on your good days you should enjoy them.
I think the last couple songs being the darker vibe and being completely different from the rest of the album which was a happy vibe could have been what Tyler meant by synthetic highs.
which makes sense when you think about the number of tracks on the album. 11. why is that important? well that means that if the last two are darker then the number of “happy” tracks is what? that’s right, 9. 9! it all connects.
@@kitchensinkchronicles3272 this album sus not just because of the disguise that the 9 songs have (cue the 9 bishops right there) but also because of ty having the colored hair which is unusual and that we're used to see josh with that stuff, another one is the number of tracks, it's only 11 which opposes the usual queue of tracks on each album with 14, and probably because this album has a bright intro which is unlikely to happen. many theorize that we're supposed to listen to it in reverse (as in from redecorate to goody day) feel free to subscribe to vooshoo and jlanderson music to find out more in regards of this album
tbh it was such fantastic performance and i can gladly say $20 well spent. The amount of preparation the boys did + people behind the scenes must be insane. we actually got a good amount of songs played and all the visuals,props and stage set was amazing. ik people will say that it was short and i felt that too but when we are enjoying too much 1h felt like 15 mins HAHA
This guy is great because he rarely if ever talks shit about the music, he tries his best to understand the music and lyrics and is never dismissive of creative choices. Coming off of Fantano's review, this has warmed be back up to the album. it is always great to see someone so genuinely loving the music. Ernest's favourites are often my least favourites but that just encourages me to like the songs a bit more. God bless Ernest
I feel like the first 9 songs were meant to give you a false sense of security. Then the last two tracks bring you back to the reality of what is. So, like you mentioned about the “synthetic high” lyric. We make ourselves believe things are much better than they truly are.
@@annakehm2630 hey said as a joke in the House of Gold BTS video that they shot it at Will Smith’s house, and since then this joke kept coming up. They shot the Nico and The Niners video in a school in Ukraine where Josh used to go and Will Smith was his biology teacher, they shot some parts of the Jumpsuit video on Will Smith’s property, they shot Choker in Will Smith’s toy store, etc.
@@FabrizioRossi1970 I highly suggest watching all the behind the scenes videos. These boys are hilarious, and it just shows what a great friendship they have
The livestream performance is now on youtube. I BEG YOU to react. It's an hour long and so creative. It was not actually a concert. It was really like a musical. The guy is creative genius. So creative with actors, choreography, sets, props etc. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!..
mullberry street is a street in new york where you have little italy and china town and other ethnic blocks so he says i live on mullberry street meaning hes feeling out of place as thats what he said being there made him feel in an interview
the title "SCALED AND ICY" is a triple metaphor 1: scaled and icy meaning Tylers description of his creative side, (blue dragon) 2: CLANCY IS DEAD, the same letters rearranged. 3: scaled back and isolated, meaning it was made in his basement during quarantine.
Someone needs to timestamp every time he says “that’s a bar” because he calls out ALL the best lyrics. Love your attention going to there, btw. How can anyone say these lyrics are plain or underwhelming. So many huge thoughts in there. 100% agree with your thoughts, man!
Redecorate is actually a really tragic song inspired by the death of a friends son (who I presume lost his life to suicide but I am not sure). His parents kept his room exactly how it was when he died to sort of memorialize him.
@@nattcattt From what I read, Redecorate was inspired by his friends son dying, but then Tyler took that feeling and and turned it into how people in his life would react if he were to die (which could theoretically be by suicide) so Its influenced by both things! Natural death of a friends son, but also the thought of the impact of suicide on your family and friends!
@@gabbygarrison3878 yeah cuz this whole album was a propaganda by bishops so obviously the songs would be vibey and bright but before Clancy died he was there in redecorate and then bishops took control in no chances and same way till the good day it's a complete propaganda that everything is fine ....
I love the entire album but the last two tracks... I've always liked this type of darker sound so obviously they are my favorites. I have the entire album on repeat all day, God I don't deserve this masterpiece
The placement of the songs are like how depression feels. It doesn't matter how many good days you had, when it hits, it hits hard and cancels the good days.
Tyler Joseph: I had a friend of mine whose son passed away and they would keep his room the same way that he had left it. I remember thinking how crazy powerful a story that is, and how it makes me wonder, like, ‘What will people do with my stuff?’ It can actually bring you back down to earth, make sure that you don’t make any horrible decisions. I’m realizing now how difficult it is to talk about, but this song is really important to me. I love the messaging of it, and I hope that our fans hear what it is I’m trying to say in it. Because it is a bit delicate, but it’s one of my favorite tracks and it’s pretty powerful if you let it.” I believe this is from his interview with genius talking about redecorate .
I decided not to listen to the album before the livestream, it was my stand out favorite. Up until the rap it's got synth pop, maybe even post punk vibes
This album sounds the way it does because it's Dema propaganda. Toxic positivity if you will. Tyler is being forced by the Bishops to make this album as propaganda for the residents of Dema. Throughout the album you can hear slight hints of rebellion from Tyler. If you watch the Scaled and Icy Livestream Experience it gives way more context to the album.
I love seeing your reactions and the way you dissect every lyric! Personally, Redecorate broke me, it made me completely forget that I was vibing with the other songs. I understood it as the struggle of losing a loved one and going thorugh the doubt of "I want to leave everything in its place and remember that person, or start redecorating and try to move on by forgetting it". Besides the line "Make my people do decisions wondering what to do" hit me right in the feels. Hope the next album comes out soon. I'm excited to see where they take this new sound
I really think bounce man is about Ned. Which represents his creativity and he had to say goodbye to his creativity so he could make this album for dema.
i saw a comment on the ‘Good Day’ video: Tyler imagined what his reaction would be if he suddenly lost his wife and daughter. He manifests the stage of denial in its fullness by declaring that it’s a good day despite what has tragically occurred in his family, pushing off the contemplation of what life will be like now they’re gone
Yes, and I feel like this sets off the theme for the whole album. It sounds so happy but its a fake happy, a false front put up. Then I think the turning point for the album is Mulberry Street, where he starts facing that it's ok to admit you aren't all ok.
I could see this whole album as working through the process of grief after such a big loss like that. Going from denial to ending in suicidal thoughts (with redecorate.)
Seriously love you're videos, I've been racking my brain all day on what artists these song remind me of..... benny and the jets spot on! Thank you so much for connecting those dots. I listened to the song 3 times before you did it on the fly. This is why you and "No Life" are the best reactors in the game. You know your music and you can breakdown songs with ease. I love me some T O P and I love listening to your breakdowns.
This!! No chances is easily my favourite on this album. I love it so much but would also kill to hear it taken even a step further and for someone to put filthy strings over it like tommy profitt would do.
(Haven’t finished the video) I’m so happy you’re finally all caught up man. I’ve loved the journey since the beginning of you discovering TØP and now to have you with us hearing the same music as it comes out is so cool. Love you have you with us man 💛💛
Also, this video made me so happy. I’ve been a subscriber/Patreon for a long time. I love your thoughts and analysis. Seeing your face reacting to these songs and watching your mind get blown by them was so fun to watch. Lol. As always, great job!
@@richardlefebvre8257 ive spent the last couple hours trying to find it. Can't find/recall which interview. The apple interview with Zayne he only says that there's "one more album" for dema story and that's the end of dema story. That's all he said. BUT the interview that i can't find/recall, he said the next (and last) dema album will tie things up and explain with an ending. And at that interview he said something about how he hasn't stopped song making he is doing it now. And to expect it sooner than think AND what he doesn't know is about concert when pandemic passes.. he doesn't know if concert would be the 2 albums together. Sorry i can't pinpoint the interview bit if i come across it I'll come back herr and post. (It's driving me crazy that i can't find it so I'll keep searching)
Alright, I have a theory about Mulberry street. Dr. Suess’ first children’s book was titled And to Think What I Saw on Mulberry Street. The book describes a boy who went out to the aforementioned street; and when he gets home he makes up a story about the things he saw on his adventures, when in reality all he saw was a horse and a wagon. So my interpretation of the song would be Tyler going at all of those people who post fictionalized versions of their life on social media to make themselves seem more interesting, when in reality, they are just a horse and a wagon
Love that you did the whole album! In some ways reminds me of a mixtape with the odd combo of styles, but I think it still kinda fits with the past storylines. The livestream was pretty wild.
the devil may work fast, but Ernest works faster. seriously dude, i was expecting this in the next couple days not the same day of the album release! appreciate it though! I've been looking forward to your reaction almost as much as the album itself.
I was... almost... as excited for your reaction as I was the livestream. I was thinking about it during the livestream. I couldn't wait to see what you thought about it, and I am so glad you LOVE it!!!
I WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU REACT TO THIS !! When you listened to The Outside, No Chances, and Redecorate I reacted the exact same way. I’m glad you got to experience this one as your first TØP album, I’m so happy you liked it too :)
The last two songs being so different and much darker was absolutely on purpose. The whole album is meant to be "propaganda" from DEMA and it's like Tyler and Josh are being forced to put on a smile and make music and pretend like everything is fine. But everything is not fine. So at the end of the album they break out of that and finally show how they are really feeling.
It's funny you mentioned thinking of Billy Joel and Elton John when hearing Good Day because Tyler just recently said in an interview that he likes their music a lot! Spot on!
Omg this album is crazy good! And that livestream was something out of this world! It was phenomenal! It's up on TH-cam, so hope you get a chance to watch and react.
19:56 oh my goshhhh! So true, I always thought he was talking about drugs, but now you helped me see the bigger picture, and I SEE MYSELF IN IT! You word things fabulously, and I'm absolutely in love with your channel. Twenty One Pilots brought me to you and I am NOT in any way disappointed! Keep this going! I'm excited to see where this channel goes!
tyler is unbelievable at what he does. if it wasn't already immediately obvious what 'Redecorate' is talking about -- as I've seen that connection hit really quickly for some people -- 'Redecorate''s lyric video really reveals the double meaning in his writing. I definitely felt like he took a song that was _inspired_ by the passing of his friend's child, and worked it into something that could be related to from a very _intimate_ point of view. that double meaning holds so much weight from both sides; "do I tidy up after my loved one, now that they're no longer here to do so?" versus, "do I tidy up before _I leave,_ so that my loved ones don't _have_ to?" Both come from a very forlorn, despairing place in two different ways, and I think Tyler nailed that feeling in the production of the song, too. thank you for the reaction man! I was _waiting_ to see you pop up with a Scaled & Icy reaction in my feed, and you did not disappoint! loved seeing your appreciation for 'Bounce Man' -- it was one of my unexpected favourites from the album, and I love that you picked up on that thread of melancholy woven just beneath the upbeat production of the song. Keep it up! Love your work.
when can we expect a reaction or just a review the livestream event? it had so much juicy lore i really want to know your thoughts on it. im sure people are dissecting it for every hidden detail rights now, i just wanna see the things that you picked up on and what u were able to tie together. Also lets not forget the fact how A++ the whole performance was and how smooth the production went. they fucking killed this shit
Anyone who watched the live stream experience will now understand how much irony in this album is and that it sounds happy, but it fit so well into the whole concept if their story telling.. like after watching it ot all make sense now
Someone mentioned that Bounce Man is about Ned and it actually makes a lot of sense! Because in an interview Tyler mentions that a friend of his turned off his phone and he's lost and we know it's true because in Choker's video there's a sign of him.
duuuuude you should search the Dema universe Tyler created, to understand the context of the songs and the albums... it will make you appreciate their music even more... idk, for me it has
You have got to watch the live stream. It’s an experience that no top fan should miss. I should know by now not to have any preconceived notions when it comes to this band but, I thought it was going to be a performance of only the new album. Um, nah, they wove in songs from previous eras and created a tapestry that can only be called a masterpiece. My mind was blown. All live. I knew Tyler had moves but I didn’t know Tyler has MOVES! They’re both so talented. Next. Level. Genius.
I read that formidable is for josh. He says fast forward 13 years. That’s how long they’ve been together. He hopes that josh knows how important he is to him and tøp.
just realized the outside comes after the two of the lead singles and other people would probably like click out of the song since "i'm already bored i've heard this all before" idk if that's intentional but
Scaled and Icy was everything I expected and more. It wouldn't be T0P if the songs didn't sound happy and have dark lyrics ya know. Formidable gives me Beatles vibes not so much REM, but it's funny you mentioned them. Twenty One Pilots has always reminded me of REM a bit, like with all the introspective lyrics. Now I was totally expecting a couple of heavier songs but No Chances blew me away in the first 15 seconds. I'd love to hear your thoughts and reactions to the livestream event, that was one of the most amazing works of art I've ever experienced. I'm in awe of how much time and care Tyler and Josh put into everything they do. I often call them musical geniuses, but they are really artistic geniuses. It's more than just the music and the videos. You'll understand what I mean if you see the livestream or even better see them live. There's nothing else like a Twenty One Pilots concert, it's something that stays with you. I can't really explain the feeling, it's almost spiritual in a way.
the first time reacting to bounce man i freaked out so much in the first 5 seconds because i listen to his brother's (jay joseph) music too and he has a song called jumpman and when i saw bounce man on the tracklist i expected it to be somehow related to his brother's song and his brother literally sings in the song, the starting vocal is his brother
Mulberry street: place in New York, one of the first places tyler went out of state to to meet with a person from their label. Formidable: probably about his wife, could also be about Josh, or anything else lol Bounceman: seems to be about Ned
The album is different but it’s been confirmed that a Trench 2/ conclusion to DEMA album is coming soon and as close as next year. There’s no tour for SAI so another album will come out. I think this was just TOP having fun and having so much time in their hands
LMAO I WAS WONDERING SHOULD I WAIT TIL AFTER THE SHOW TO DROP THIS OR NAH....OBVI DECIDED NAH. lol
you watched the show?! If so, how was it?! I think it was phenomenal
Yeah would love to hear your reaction to the live show!
@@andy8922 ngl it was as cool as an actual concert if not cooler. I wish they played No Chances but i can't complain at all
Oh man I'd love to watch this right now but I just finished listening to the album and it 3:30 pm and my brain is DECEASED. But you bet I'll be here tomorrow case this going to be SICK AS FRIK !!!!!! 😆😆😆😆
BRO THAT WAS SICK!
even though is 4 am imma watch this and die
Personally I feel like Mulberry Street is kinda like "there is no war in ba sing se"
Oh my gosh that's an awesome comparison!
THAT is a reference haha
Nah because you made a real point there lmao
That's this whole album yooo
I love when someone bring an atla reference out of nowhere, that's one of my favorite shows
YOU JUST HAD to release this 42 minute video 10 minutes before the live stream concert LOL
I watched it, it was an awesome concert
Can you watch it any where?
Just in case you were wondering most of the happy sounding songs were supposed to be like that to make dema look better in thier universe and that's y the mood switched completely in the last 2 songs.
I KNEW IT!! I mean I didn’t know but I figured lol the album feels like North Korea propaganda lol
@@TheThirdErnest in the cristhmas song music video it said that sai(scaled and icy) was propaganda ( scaled and icy rearanged says clancy is dead)
@@TheThirdErnest in the live stream you can see how much propaganda dema is trying to push, kinda like the ads in WandaVision or The Truman Show
I had a feeling the over the top happiness was just the Bishops was of like sucking us in…in the live stream last night it kept breaking to “commercial” where these two ppl where advertising scaled and icy to us…but then it showed Tyler in front of the tv watching it…and it looked as if for a second he was like questioning it…but then he just snapped back to “reality” and continued to preform Saturday
I think if they do a video of Saturday the two breaks/pauses at the end of the song could be portrayed as glitches in the fake matrix dema world

i saw a comment on the ‘Good Day’ video:
Tyler imagined what his reaction would be if he suddenly lost his wife and daughter. He manifests the stage of denial in its fullness by declaring that it’s a good day despite what has tragically occurred in his family, pushing off the contemplation of what life will be like now they’re gone
Oh god that's tragic:/
Yes, and I feel like this sets off the theme for the whole album. It sounds so happy but its a fake happy, a false front put up. Then I think the turning point for the album is Mulberry Street, where he starts facing that it's ok to admit you aren't all ok.
I could see this whole album as working through the process of grief after such a big loss like that. Going from denial to ending in suicidal thoughts (with redecorate.)
The live stream was crazy af. That shit was an emotional roller-coaster and I need an album of the songs that were in it like damn.
Yes. And the transition between the pieces was amazing
Seriously love you're videos, I've been racking my brain all day on what artists these song remind me of..... benny and the jets spot on! Thank you so much for connecting those dots. I listened to the song 3 times before you did it on the fly. This is why you and "No Life" are the best reactors in the game. You know your music and you can breakdown songs with ease. I love me some T O P and I love listening to your breakdowns.
The live show was such a feast for the eyes and ears! They poured their souls, and probably their wallets into that show, such high production value!
Honestly prefer this over when you react to songs individually from new albums
What we’ve all been waiting for! 🔥
The choir part of No Chances reminds me of Therapy Session
This!! No chances is easily my favourite on this album. I love it so much but would also kill to hear it taken even a step further and for someone to put filthy strings over it like tommy profitt would do.
(Haven’t finished the video) I’m so happy you’re finally all caught up man. I’ve loved the journey since the beginning of you discovering TØP and now to have you with us hearing the same music as it comes out is so cool. Love you have you with us man 💛💛
Also, this video made me so happy. I’ve been a subscriber/Patreon for a long time. I love your thoughts and analysis. Seeing your face reacting to these songs and watching your mind get blown by them was so fun to watch. Lol. As always, great job!
Also, in bounce man, “bounce” can refer to going up and down emotionally, like the bouncing action
Letsgooooooo, as the previous TOP reaction, been waiting for this all day.
Can’t explain how excited I am to watch these 40 minutes
No Chances is the perfect child of Trench and SAI
Notifs on for this reaction, thank you!
I think they will surprise us with another album like really soon, i got that feeling
Yes he said so in an interview.
@@testimusicali6445 is there a link to watch that interview please?:)
@@richardlefebvre8257 ive spent the last couple hours trying to find it. Can't find/recall which interview. The apple interview with Zayne he only says that there's "one more album" for dema story and that's the end of dema story. That's all he said. BUT the interview that i can't find/recall, he said the next (and last) dema album will tie things up and explain with an ending. And at that interview he said something about how he hasn't stopped song making he is doing it now. And to expect it sooner than think AND what he doesn't know is about concert when pandemic passes.. he doesn't know if concert would be the 2 albums together. Sorry i can't pinpoint the interview bit if i come across it I'll come back herr and post. (It's driving me crazy that i can't find it so I'll keep searching)
@@testimusicali6445 Oh thanks a lot, that’s really sweet and no worries, that’s more than enough information! Can’t wait for that next album!🤩🤩
i hope so
Alright, I have a theory about Mulberry street. Dr. Suess’ first children’s book was titled And to Think What I Saw on Mulberry Street. The book describes a boy who went out to the aforementioned street; and when he gets home he makes up a story about the things he saw on his adventures, when in reality all he saw was a horse and a wagon. So my interpretation of the song would be Tyler going at all of those people who post fictionalized versions of their life on social media to make themselves seem more interesting, when in reality, they are just a horse and a wagon
Maybe he read that book to his daughter and got inspired...
Aight now that the livestream is over I can finally watch this!
That was the coolest thing I have ever seen
Welcome back lol
Love that you did the whole album! In some ways reminds me of a mixtape with the odd combo of styles, but I think it still kinda fits with the past storylines. The livestream was pretty wild.
I love your videos cause it feels like I’m listening to the songs again for the first time
BRO, HOW GOOD WAS THE LIVESHOW WAAAAAA
It was fire, had chills the whole damn time😭
the devil may work fast, but Ernest works faster. seriously dude, i was expecting this in the next couple days not the same day of the album release! appreciate it though! I've been looking forward to your reaction almost as much as the album itself.
Loved the album reaction bro! So happy to watch you enjoy hearing the songs! The whole album is a vibe!
Love your videos! You've been one of my go to channels for song reactions lately! :)
Bro can we talk about how he didn't mention that guitar solo in Never Take It. It was amazing
I think in Bounce Man he was talking about Ned since I believe he mentioned somewhere he left home and didn't respond to messages
I was... almost... as excited for your reaction as I was the livestream. I was thinking about it during the livestream. I couldn't wait to see what you thought about it, and I am so glad you LOVE it!!!
I WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU REACT TO THIS !! When you listened to The Outside, No Chances, and Redecorate I reacted the exact same way. I’m glad you got to experience this one as your first TØP album, I’m so happy you liked it too :)
That album is a straight vibe
As soon as the album was released, i thought of what you would be thinking about it. So happy you made a review!
The last two songs being so different and much darker was absolutely on purpose. The whole album is meant to be "propaganda" from DEMA and it's like Tyler and Josh are being forced to put on a smile and make music and pretend like everything is fine. But everything is not fine. So at the end of the album they break out of that and finally show how they are really feeling.
It's funny you mentioned thinking of Billy Joel and Elton John when hearing Good Day because Tyler just recently said in an interview that he likes their music a lot! Spot on!
Omg this album is crazy good! And that livestream was something out of this world! It was phenomenal! It's up on TH-cam, so hope you get a chance to watch and react.
19:56 oh my goshhhh! So true, I always thought he was talking about drugs, but now you helped me see the bigger picture, and I SEE MYSELF IN IT! You word things fabulously, and I'm absolutely in love with your channel. Twenty One Pilots brought me to you and I am NOT in any way disappointed! Keep this going! I'm excited to see where this channel goes!
I feel like synthetic highs can mean anything from drugs, social media likes, gambling, sex etc.
@@katstorm13 Yeah, definitely. I feel like it’s a great line, and it’s one of my favorite in the song. Dang it, Tyler is a literal lyrical genious☺️
Dude that Benny and the Jets comment nailed it I was trying to think what does this remind me of and 💥 that’s it! Awesome breakdown
Would you have the full album uncut on Patreon? I still don't know how your Patreon works so I haven't joined yet. I am a little confused.
tyler is unbelievable at what he does. if it wasn't already immediately obvious what 'Redecorate' is talking about -- as I've seen that connection hit really quickly for some people -- 'Redecorate''s lyric video really reveals the double meaning in his writing.
I definitely felt like he took a song that was _inspired_ by the passing of his friend's child, and worked it into something that could be related to from a very _intimate_ point of view. that double meaning holds so much weight from both sides; "do I tidy up after my loved one, now that they're no longer here to do so?" versus, "do I tidy up before _I leave,_ so that my loved ones don't _have_ to?"
Both come from a very forlorn, despairing place in two different ways, and I think Tyler nailed that feeling in the production of the song, too.
thank you for the reaction man! I was _waiting_ to see you pop up with a Scaled & Icy reaction in my feed, and you did not disappoint! loved seeing your appreciation for 'Bounce Man' -- it was one of my unexpected favourites from the album, and I love that you picked up on that thread of melancholy woven just beneath the upbeat production of the song.
Keep it up! Love your work.
I really enjoyed the album, but the livestream elevated everything. Absolutely loved it. Just amazing.
Man i really love you breaking down the songs, best i've seen in that, also, excuse my english i'm from Argentina so my english isn't great haha
when can we expect a reaction or just a review the livestream event? it had so much juicy lore i really want to know your thoughts on it. im sure people are dissecting it for every hidden detail rights now, i just wanna see the things that you picked up on and what u were able to tie together. Also lets not forget the fact how A++ the whole performance was and how smooth the production went. they fucking killed this shit
Your TOP reactions are incredible! Thank you ❤️
I appreciated your review. Talking about “Never take it” you focused on the lyrics… I heard some U2 “contamination” 😅
Anyone who watched the live stream experience will now understand how much irony in this album is and that it sounds happy, but it fit so well into the whole concept if their story telling.. like after watching it ot all make sense now
I love how from your first few reactions to TOP to this reaction you now notice way more of the subtle messages and references to the story
mulberry street is a poem by Dr. Seuss that had to do with a kid seeing strange things on his walk to school on mulberry street. Idk if this helps
Literally was watching listening last night and thinking Ernest will have a review up tmrw 👀 but I DIDN'T KNOW HE WOULD THE WHOLE ALBUM 🤤
I love coming to reviews and knowing exactly what songs you're going to go insane about, I knew you'd be all over No Chances hahaha
The second best thing besides de live stream, so here I am half way through the video 🔥🔥🔥
Bro your interpretations and analysis are crazy good !!
Someone mentioned that Bounce Man is about Ned and it actually makes a lot of sense! Because in an interview Tyler mentions that a friend of his turned off his phone and he's lost and we know it's true because in Choker's video there's a sign of him.
I wish you did this for Nevers Road by Witt
I'm so happy to see your reaction, I love this album and enjoy every single song!!!
duuuuude you should search the Dema universe Tyler created, to understand the context of the songs and the albums... it will make you appreciate their music even more... idk, for me it has
This man just has a gift of lyrical breakdowns. Plain and simple. The Goat.
You have got to watch the live stream. It’s an experience that no top fan should miss. I should know by now not to have any preconceived notions when it comes to this band but, I thought it was going to be a performance of only the new album. Um, nah, they wove in songs from previous eras and created a tapestry that can only be called a masterpiece. My mind was blown. All live. I knew Tyler had moves but I didn’t know Tyler has MOVES! They’re both so talented. Next. Level. Genius.
I read that formidable is for josh. He says fast forward 13 years. That’s how long they’ve been together. He hopes that josh knows how important he is to him and tøp.
They didn't meet until 2010 though.
WHAAAAAAT THE HEEEL. HOW DID I LOST THIS VIDEO. I even have notification on, and i was only waiting for your reaction
just realized the outside comes after the two of the lead singles and other people would probably like click out of the song since "i'm already bored i've heard this all before"
idk if that's intentional but
Scaled and Icy was everything I expected and more. It wouldn't be T0P if the songs didn't sound happy and have dark lyrics ya know. Formidable gives me Beatles vibes not so much REM, but it's funny you mentioned them. Twenty One Pilots has always reminded me of REM a bit, like with all the introspective lyrics. Now I was totally expecting a couple of heavier songs but No Chances blew me away in the first 15 seconds. I'd love to hear your thoughts and reactions to the livestream event, that was one of the most amazing works of art I've ever experienced. I'm in awe of how much time and care Tyler and Josh put into everything they do. I often call them musical geniuses, but they are really artistic geniuses. It's more than just the music and the videos. You'll understand what I mean if you see the livestream or even better see them live. There's nothing else like a Twenty One Pilots concert, it's something that stays with you. I can't really explain the feeling, it's almost spiritual in a way.
You were literally me when I first listed to it, couldnt stop the little dances like everyone, so gooooood AHHHHHH
What's with the AHHHHHH
the first time reacting to bounce man i freaked out so much in the first 5 seconds because i listen to his brother's (jay joseph) music too and he has a song called jumpman and when i saw bounce man on the tracklist i expected it to be somehow related to his brother's song and his brother literally sings in the song, the starting vocal is his brother
Mulberry street: place in New York, one of the first places tyler went out of state to to meet with a person from their label.
Formidable: probably about his wife, could also be about Josh, or anything else lol
Bounceman: seems to be about Ned
The album is different but it’s been confirmed that a Trench 2/ conclusion to DEMA album is coming soon and as close as next year. There’s no tour for SAI so another album will come out. I think this was just TOP having fun and having so much time in their hands
You nailed it, in my opinion. I think their next album will be the darkest one yet.
