Twenty One Pilots - Regional At Best - 2x LP Vinyl

Following the release of their outstanding debut, twenty one pilots take a new approach to their sound. Yes, the crossover of pop, rock, and alternative is still present, but there is just something different about it. An increase of dependence on electronics and synths, Regional at Best experiments and delves deeper into the realm of pop/alternative, utilizing the synths as the overall melodies of the albums. Alongside this, the overall drumming has increased, adding more complexity to the mix thanks to the talent brought to the table by newly recruited Josh Dun. However, not all is an improvement. In fact, this happens to be a step down in many ways. As this album leans more towards a demo album for almost half of the songs, a lot of the songs just sound underproduced compared to their fellow reworkings. But we aren’t here to compare, we’re here to see what we have, and what we have is pretty great as it is.
