An Honest Review of Twenty-One Pilots' 'Trench'

Wikimedia Commons

Imagine me in the middle of July; scrolling through the depths of Youtube to find something to watch during my long lunch. After scrolling for what seemed like forever; I stumbled across something surprising. Twenty-One Pilots released not one but two new songs.

I just couldn't stop freaking out as I listened to the first two singles "Nico and The Niners" and "Jumpsuit."

I, a long-time Twenty-One Pilots fan, couldn't wait to get my hands on this new era of music from the "hometown heroes".

Their long-awaited return has been out for a little while now. I wanted to write this review for a while but I needed time to sit and enjoy my time with this album and give it a few listens before I give it my official review.

The tracklist is as follows:

1. "Jumpsuit"
2. "Levitate"
3. "Morph"
4. "My Blood"
5. "Chlorine"
6. "Smithereens"
7. "Neon Gravestones"
8. "The Hype"
9. "Nico and the Niners"
10. "Cut My Lip"
11. "Bandito"
12. "Pet Cheetah"
13. "Legend"
14. "Leave the City"

Despite my worries, it is safe to say that Tyler Joseph definitely lived up to the hype set in motion since the release of Jumpsuit. I see fans try to stick this album into a certain category pertaining to their previous records but it defies everything that this band has done before.

I have nothing but good things to say about this album; there is everything to love and nothing to hate when it comes to the world of Trench.

The album calls for a complete immersion. With all of the cryptic teasers and story-filled videos we have been getting; this just goes to show the absolute insane talent that Tyler Joseph has. Not only did he create a whole album, but he also created a whole world.

Favorite Track: "My Blood"

This choice was a hard one to make. I can go in and listen to this album without skipping over any of the tracks. However, if I'm scrolling through my playlist and this song just so happens to pass by me; I'm going to play it.

It's funky, it's fine, and it gets me hyped no matter what crap mood I seem to be in.

Least Favorite Track: Um, don't think I have one?

I seriously love all of these tracks, I listen to at least each of them without skipping and fussing about it.

I love all of these songs and I'm usually very picky about that.

Overall, this is what I'm going to be listening to for the rest of the semester so you can enjoy my constant flurry of Instagram captions relating to this album.

Am I sorry? Nope!

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
