Blurryface
Blurryface is the fourth studio album by American musical duo Twenty One Pilots, released on May 17, 2015 through Fueled by Ramen. Like their previous album Vessel (2013), the album takes influence from various genres, including hip hop, rock, pop, reggae, and indie music. Lyrically, the album incorporates themes of mental health, doubt, and religion. It contains the successful singles "Stressed Out" and "Ride", which both reached the top-five on the Billboard Hot 100. -Wikipedia
Critic Reviews
Show All-
Medium
Blurryface is a sharp turn towards a darker realm, but 21P masterfully evolves without straying too far.
-
Alternative Press
twenty one pilots ramped up everything, from new influences to the number of producers to the metric ton of uncertainties and fears multiplying in frontman/songwriter Tyler Joseph’s cranium.
-
Billboard
[Blurryface] doesn't quite reach the heights of Vessel, but nevertheless serves as evidence that one of pop's most daring duos isn't about to slow down.
-
Sputnik Music
Twenty One Pilots managed to take something that quite honestly should have failed and turned it into a resounding success.
-
All Things Loud
On Blurryface, Twenty One Pilots have proven themselves to be an incendiary, unstoppable force.
-
The Edge
Overall, the album is completely and utterly ridiculous. It is everything and nothing that you want.
-
The Indie Sound
twenty one pilots have used their latest album as a canvas, some songs were great, others…not so much.
-
Under The Gun Review
Blurryface largely relies on already proven ideas for its best moments. Twenty One Pilots have delivered more satisfying material in the past.

Soundscape
The album is a piece of art, combining multiple genres, writing moving songs, writing fun songs and demonstrating they are a force to be reckoned with.

Western Herald
The album delivers on all ends of the spectrum; creativity, catchiness, originality, length, and meaning.
-
Infectious Magazine
The entire album is solid, but it also feels like a little too much. Fourteen songs may have been overkill.
-
Coog Radio
This album has a good mix of slow and fast-paced songs. The signature poetic lyricism remains, and the relatability and variability distinguish this album.
-
Cleveland.com
As it stands, the most honest component of "Blurryface" lies in Joseph's willingness to admit things can sometimes be confounding.
-
Spectrum Pulse
Blurryface by twenty-one pilots might appear to be a genre-blurring oddball mess, but beneath it is an incredibly strong and thematically rich core that shows a band improving across the board.

PPCORN
Blurryface is an incredibly intelligent album, and one full of overarching messages, sincerity, and intent.

Overall, this album is a mixed bag of emotions and does not keep a consistency throughout. And that folks is why it is an absolute masterpiece.

Twenty One Pilots are an anomaly in the music industry, and it has proven to be their biggest strength.

Blurryface is the best album to come out from 21P in recent years.

The National Student
The album is very well groomed, but perhaps in parts slightly too over produced.
-
The AU Review
[Blurryface] is a supremely intelligent record that very few artists would ever be able to create, yet at no point does it feel forced or over the top.
-

Twenty One Pilots have brought a fresh and unique sound to the table with their music.

Art of this caliber seldom makes an appearance in the industry, and it would indeed be a travesty to set this album aside.
