Review XP Trench

So let me preface this by saying I might be completely and totally fucking biased at this point.

THIS ALBUM IS THE BEST I'VE EVER HEARD THROUGHOUT THE HISTORY OF ME.

And I don't say that lightly. I mean it. It's so epic in every way imaginable. As forever, the music is doesn't fit into any single genre other than alt. Some bands change as they age, for better or worse. Twenty-one Pilots evolves into an unstoppable force, inspiring, grounding, and unifying millions.

It's hard to choose favorites. But if I have to choose favorites:

Levitate
Morph
Pet Cheetah
Chlorine
The Hype
Cut My Lip
My Blood
Jumpsuit
Nico and the Niners
Bandito
Smithereens
Leave the City
Legend

And the heart wrenching, soulful social commentary that is "Neon Gravestones." I was so moved that I actually went to YouTube and commented alongside clique members about Tyler's intention with this song.

R.I.P. Chester all over again. 😭

(Did I really just use a crying emoji to convey my sorrow at the loss of one of my idols? I did. Someone slap me.)

I'm still on the bandwagon, people. No, fuck that. I am the Queen of this bandwagon. Listen, but don't just listen, to this album. Listen to them all. Go to a show. You can thank me later.

Excerpt from "Pet Cheetah"

I've got a pet cheetah down in my basement

I've raised him, and bathed him, and named him Jason

Statham, I've trained him to make me these beats

Now my pet cheetah's quicker in the studio than on his feet

Imma get mine and get going

I'm showing my faces in just enough places

I'm done with tip-toeing, I'll stay in my room

My house is the one where the vultures are perched on the roof

Get behind me, I bet this nepotistic mindset

Will help us get ours as we're growing

This clique means so much to this dude

It could make him afraid of his music

And be scared to death he could lose it
