    This album is almost flawless, cohesive from the start to the finish, with amazing lyrics and sick instrumentation. Honestly a modern rock/alt. classic. I-/

    Twenty One Pilots Blurryface is surprisingly a step up from the successful Vessel album and features even more similar songs with a ton of hits. Blurryface is an album strong and solid enough to have enough powerful songs and lyrics to keep fans listening to album for a very long time. (A)

    It's an album that pretty much reveals Tyler Joseph's alter ego, Blurryface (It can be heard on Stressed Out on the line "My name's Blurryface and I care what you think" and during the last few seconds) and puts the duo to a next level of rap rock. People can learn something from what he is saying (or rapping) on the album, which is what makes this album a great breakthrough.

Do not listen to the two negative reviews already posted here, listen to the album and decide for yourself.

    Update: I was going to give this an 8, but because of the negative reviews, I decided to bump it to a 10.

    the best album of the year, very good excelent lyrics and melodies, too simply, is an album that is heard from beginning to end without skipping any tracks, the best is 'ride'.

    There is no weak song in this album, compiling rock, pop, rap, reggae, dance and a little dubstep for an amazing compilation of Tyler's struggle with his alter-ego, Blurryface.

    Genre-blending and introspective lyricism can be found from start to finish on twenty one pilots' fourth LP. The concept of Blurryface helps create a cohesion to what could have been a genre hopping disaster. Instead, listeners are treated to one of the most well put together albums of 2015.

    Favorite Tracks: Heavydirtysoul, Ride, Tear In My Heart, The Judge, Doubt, Polarize, We Don't

    I have recently read other comment and feel that I should join the conversation. Many people are in love with twenty-one pilots like I am, but there were also some, not a lot, negative comments. Everyone has their own opinion and mine is that they are great. This is a band of two who make a living off of music. These two put feeling and truth behind their lyrics.

This is a band of two who make a living off of music. These two put feeling and truth behind their lyrics. In this world they are putting simplistic words into complex rythem and tune as they try to spread a message of living life to be happy. Tyler has been through a lot and just wants others to know that your not alone because when he was younger there was no one for him. I personally believe that this is a great album, and it may even be one of their better ones as this album has much happier and upbeat song such as, stressed out, lane boy, not today, fairly local, etc..

    Blurryface is a perfect album, Tyler fully embraces his insecurities, creating this character called Blurryface that represents them. He has choose to give a name and a face to his insecurities, doubts, fears and anxiety, it takes courage to to do that. The lyrics of the songs remain very deep and philosophical, but the beats are in a way, different from Vessel, more electric pop, I likeBlurryface is a perfect album, Tyler fully embraces his insecurities, creating this character called Blurryface that represents them.

    Esse CD que me mostrou o Twenty One Pilots. Eu me vi apaixonado pela melhor banda bem de repente! É incrível o jeito como misturam o rap com rock, com eletrônico. E o melhor é que eles não precisam de um batalhão para escrever seus hinos. O modo como o Tyler canta me faz sentir todos os sentimentos possíveis! Eu adorei!!!

    Twenty One Pilots se ha posicionado como una de las mejores bandas del momento, sin duda su último disco, Blurryface ha dado mucho de que hablar y mientras mas hablan de ellos mas grandes se hacen.

    OMG, this is one of my favorites albums of all time. The lyrics are very smart, the sound are very well, and Tyler is so handsome, (i'm just say).
    If I had to define it with a word, I would define it as art

    My second favourite album of the 2010s; from the energetic album opener “HeavyDirtySoul” to the radio Hits “Ride” and “Stressed Out” to the more experimental, almost reggae sounding “Polarize” and “Message Man” to the soft, leading into powerful, album closer “Goner”. This album is a ride from start to finish.

    One of the greatests Albums of the 2010´s, a remarkable mix of alternative, rock and pop songs that defined 2015 - 2017 with the smash hits `Stressed Out` and `Ride`

    This album since its release until now still brings freshness. Tyler Joseph's instruments and vocals seem like a dead price. And this band will be my favorite of the ever-eagerly awaited new works.

    Twenty One Pilots ramped up everything, from new influences to the number of producers (four) to the metric ton of uncertainties and fears multiplying in frontman/songwriter Tyler Joseph’s cranium. And it’s wonderful.
