As some people don't know much about them other than Stressed Out, Ride and Heathens, I'm making this post to hopefully show some light on all their work :)

Twenty One Pilots is an American musical duo originating from Columbus, Ohio.

The band was formed in 2009 by college friends Tyler Joseph, Nick Thomas and Chris Salih.

Tyler came up with the band's name while studying All My Sons by Arthur Miller, a play about a man who must decide what is best for his family after causing the death of twenty-one pilots during World War II because he knowingly sent them faulty parts for the good of his business. Tyler explains that this story of moral dilemma was the inspiration for the name of the band.

Their lyrics mostly feature Tyler Joseph's insecurities and his fight with depression.

On 2011, due to busy schedules, Nick Thomas and Chris Salih left the band, and Josh Dun became the new drummer.

Their second self-release, Regional at Best, was released July 8, 2011 with the new lineup consisting of only Joseph and Dun. The album was accompanied by a free CD release show on the grounds of New Albany High School.

Although many labels fought over the band, it was ultimately decided that they would sign to the Atlantic Records subsidiary label Fueled by Ramen.

It was released January 8, 2013 and reached No. 21 on the Billboard 200, No. 9 on the Digital Albums chart, No. 17 on the Internet Albums chart, No. 15 on the Rock Albums Chart and No. 10 on the Alternative Albums Chart.

The two elderly men pictured on the album cover are Joseph and Dun's grandfathers. The pair did it to see what the label's reaction was and when the label said yes the group said "Okay, maybe this is going to work!". 

In an interview, Joseph spoke on the meaning behind the album's name, saying that a vessel (our body) is an object carrying something far more important than the outer shell, and when we die, that is set free and lives on.

As they where signed, they reworked some of the songs on Regional At Best and composed new ones for Vessel

Tracklist:

Ode To Sleep

Holding On To You

Migraine

House Of Gold

Car Radio

Album Artwork Meaning

On March 16, 2015, the band announced that Blurryface was to be released on May 19.

Blurryface was released two days early on May 17, 2015 and sold 134,000 copies in the first week in the United States, becoming the band's first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200.

The album is named after a character the band created called Blurryface. According to Joseph, he "represents all the things that I as an individual, but also everyone around, are insecure about."

 Joseph wears black paint on his hands and neck during his live shows and music videos for the album, to represent Blurryface, saying: "Very dramatic, I know, but it helps me get into that character".

Josh Dun represents his anxiety with red paint around his eyes, his "war paint".

Stressed Out

Ride

Fairly Local

Tear In My Heart

Lane Boy

The Judge

Doubt

Polarize

@SpookyKid They deserve all of their success. Their songs stand out from the rest of the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. "Heathens" is my favorite song by them. I'm not a fan of their screaming in songs. Other than that, they're great artists. Wish them the continued success! :D Thank you for taking your time to arrange this. :happy:

I first discovered Heathens through my radio station. They played the Top 50 of the Billboard Hot 100. I was going to the beach, and I wanted to listen to the radio. I saw them actually playing the rest of the chart. When they played the songs, "Heathens" just stood out to me. My favorite song by them! :diane:

Love them.

Blurryface is their best work, followed by Vessel and then Regional at Best and self-titled are tied.

Glad they are receiving the success they deserve. Hoping they snatch some grammys. I really want to see them live.

Been a fan since the Holding On to You video.

It used to be my favorite song of theirs, still among their top songs but now my favorite is probably something off of Blurryface. The video is great.

Omg stop lol Polarize has been a favorite of mine since I heard it. It, Hometown, and Message Man make up my top 3 of Blurryface. I always wanted polarize to be a single or at least get a video.

Love Hometown :giveup: Message Man is probably my least favorite off Blurryface, but it's still awesome.

My top 3 from Blurryface is probably Polarize, The Judge and Goner
