    This album is my favorite at least.
    An incredible growing tu their music and a big evolution, a good history concept and hard lyrics to express.

    Their best album so far, a cohesive, introspective and beautiful album with a really cool concept and story.

    Although Trench is a concept album, it doesn't require you to understand the story for you to enjoy it. One thing I can say is that this is their most cohesive album yet. The sound, the instrumentation, the lyricism show a more mature side of them. I still can't figure what my favourite song on this album but the 3 strong contenders are Neon Gravestones, Bandito, Chlorine and My Blood.

    This is entirely for the fans, or the Clique I mean. A wonderful album, after the 1 year "hiatus" this is what we wanted, and this is what we deserved

    Trench polishes the duos up-and-down, back-and-forth, here-and-there sound they've been working toward for so many years. The best parts from each of their prior works come together and make Trench a strong contender for their best album to date.

    Que puedo decir, el álbum esta muy bien hecho. Su concepto es muy original, tiene dos teorías favorables: la industria musical o las inseguridades. Sus ritmos son pegadizos y oscuros, letra profunda y unos coros que harán temblar por ser muy bien manejados. Leave The City es la mejor del álbum.
    Tiene en mi punto de vista el mejor este año.

    Everything on this album is incredible. Tyler and Josh come back with their lyrics that make you think, like Neon Gravestones talking about suicide. Legend is the most emotional song on the album that exposes Tyler's feelings about losing his grandfather. There is also rock and hip hop very present in Levitate and Pet Cheetah that do not leave anything to be desired.

    This is a strong and meaningful album with great sound, great lyrics, great music. Some people think it's boring album with no catchy songs (well what about Chlorine and The Hype?), but that's not the point of twenty one pilots music, the meaning is important.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The album, which has 14 songs, is probably the best this band have ever produced, because it has a great mix of musical styles, like from The Hype to Levitate, that are completely different. It talks a lot about mental illnesses, like Blurryface, but in Neon Gravestones the suicide relation is very clear. Nico and the Niners is probably the fan's favorite, because it's the "face" of the band, due to the clear Schizoid genre it presents. If you are a Twenty One Pilots fan, you will enjoy it a lot, because it's a great production, with really good music.… Expand

    Like Blurryface, Trench has a lot of genres in it, which makes the duo standout in creatively combining them into an in-sync track. Trench features rock elements, like Jumpsuit, slow piano from Neon Gravestones, My Blood has elements of indie pop and Smithereens, a catchy and playful pop track to name a few.

    Truly a masterpiece, twenty one pilots not only built a solid story line using their music videos but also a wonderful semi-concept album structure to build a deep and complex structure for all the songs.

Not trying to throw shade at Ricky Reed but having only Tyler Joseph and Paul Meany produce the album was a fantastic idea, the two groups have proven their ability to blend with each others ideas was already shown in the MUTEMATH SESSIONS few years past, but having heard what the end product was for them is simply magical. If anyone's looking for good alternative pop music I strongly suggest this album.… Expand

    Música original y diferente a lo de siempre. Puede no convencer de primeras pero tras escuchar un par de veces te das cuenta de que es bueno.
    Son canciones, algunas muy psicodélicas, otras un poco tristes y, en general, con un ritmo no muy rápido o directamente lento.

    En este disco hay mucha variedad de canciones, todas muy diferentes unas de otras, y lo normal es que no te gusten todas. Al haber tanta variedad, todas las canciones son buenas pero algunas parecen fuera de contexto con las demás.
    Líricamente hablando Trench supera, en mi opinión, a su antecesor "Blurfyface". Además algo que mencionar es la historia que hay detrás de este y como la conecta con la historia que nadie comprendía y algunos ni veían de el anterior disco. Por esta historia el disco coge ese papel y la hace bien en la mayoría de casos.

It's dealing with mental issues and loving yourself and lots of messages like this. Every song is unique and has a single potencial. I can't explain how good is Tyler Joseph's vocals.

    Take my recommendation and forget about the most deeply conceptual parts of this concept album--which just seems like a lot of work--and enjoy the many parts of Trench that don’t require a thirst for symbolic origin stories. There are plenty of these, like “Morph” and “My Blood,” which sport falsetto R&B hooks, somewhat in the tradition of the previous album’s best track, “Heavydirtysoul.”
