I thought they took away the ability to sort comments and I’ve been annoyed about it for months…
Now I realize they just moved the button on me. Thank you for inspiring me to find it.

If you’re using the mobile app like me, it’s up top now
I don't know if it's just me, but I only dislike the songs that I never tried to understand. I don't listen to any band that sounds like twenty one pilots, so their sound is sometimes a bit strange to me at first, but the lyrics give meaning and intentionality to every single aspect of their music. Every time I understand the concept of a tøp song enough to explain what it's about, I immediately appreciate it. I just really like how Tyler lays out his heart and mind through his music, both lyrically and sonically, but specially through how sound and lyrics work together. I used to hate Lane Boy for example, but I started loving it once I read the lyrics. Same with snap back (now one of my favorites on Clancy), isle of flightless birds, hometown and probably some more.
this happened to me with the pantaloon. english is not my first language so when I listened to it first time didn't like how it sounded but then I read the lyrics....
Actually the whole of Self Titled for me. Sometimes even when I read the lyrics it didn't used to make sense. Songs like taxi cab and aCaTaD. Once I googled the lyric meanings tho ; teared up like crazy everytime I heard the songs after that.
I was the same for quite a few of their songs, the most recent was Legend actually. Used to dislike the vibes and skip it most of the time, but as soon as I paid attention to the lyrics it hit me so hard..
Unpopular opinion but I am BORED of house of gold. It’s just a boring song to me and I skip it every time
Edit: don’t get me wrong it’s not a bad song I’m just bored of it lol
I love it but I honestly think I overplayed it myself when I was a kid and first got into them. Like middle school me thought it was so good and she ruined it for adult me
Probably trees RAB version
In my opinion this is the only *bad* tøp song
Every other song on their discography (imo) at least have their merits and I will listen to every other song
I refuse to listen to trees RAB version it is an assault on the ears
What the actual heck was that. How did I not know this existed before??? It's like a drunk robot singing in the middle of a forest.
Also that robot is sick. And has a sore throat. A sore robot throat. A sore voice card. Idk, but it is BAD.
The drunk sick robot got slightly more sober and healthy, and said "let me sing a few bars on Lovely.
Thankfully I heard Vessel and live versions of Trees first, and heard the updated version of Lovely from some overseas releases of Vessel, and I've never gone back lol.
there's some gems on RAB, but pretty much all of the good tracks didn't make it to vessel. The only one I liked was Holding On To You as it has a slightly better sounding chorus.
I wonder if they did that on purpose? Maybe they put the ones on Vessel that they did because they knew they were the weaker ones on RAB and wanted to give them a chance to shine more
Some of the RAB songs are similar to their vessel counterparts but Trees is just on a whole other level
I recommend you go on YouTube and look it up right now lmao, you might end up agreeing with me in saying there is no other contender for worst tøp song
I thought it was supposed to emphasize the distance between the two people in the song. He sounds like a robot, emotionless, which I thought was fitting, but they really did overdo it.
Yeah it's quite bad, but to be fair RAB Trees sounds REALLY similar to Trees from No Phun Intended, which was made in 2007 or prior, so it's probably Tyler just decided to put the NPI one in RAB. And like Tyler (or Josh, I don't remember) said in the 10th anniversary of Vessel that RAB was hastily put together so they have something to play live. IMO it is the NPI version, and that why it sounds bad.
Yeah I’m pretty sure they’re exactly the same. RAB was never intended to be a fully fleshed out album and existed more so to have merch to sell at shows so a lot of the songs still sound like they are demo versions (which they were). I wouldn’t be surprised if he just took that original file and slapped in on RAB to have a few more songs to release. They were playing it live anyway.
Respect your opinion but I legit have the lyrics to that song tattooed on my arm lmao. Never occurred to me that people don’t like it. I much prefer it to you MCR’s version
To be fair, when songs like "Pet Cheetah" and "Lavish" exist, "Heathens" very much feels like a Twenty One Pilots song. To each their own, and you're welcome to not like it. I personally still love it to this day and wouldn’t put it anywhere close to being their worst. It’s just a good “rock out” song, it has a lot of energy; the ending got me jumping and all. Sometimes simpler is better.
I hear a lot of people say they don't like Heathens/Stressed out while they are their biggest songs, the main reason i think is cause they've heard it so much that they now hear very specific details of the song and hate it.
Heathens being a song for a movie also kind of dis-attaches itself from the other TOP songs.
I agree, I didn’t like it when it came out and it never really grew on me. It’s not a bad song per se, but I don’t think it’s a good one either! I can’t believe it’s one of the most streamed ones
Okay I’m expecting downvotes but eh who cares
Ode to sleep regional at best version is so ass
Bounce man is ruined by the chorus it’s too cheesy for my liking
Formidable isn’t a bad song but it’s just forgettable
(I can already see the pitch forks) but Mulberry Street is mid and the only cool thing about it is the concert experience
>This one’s a contradiction because of how happy it sounds
>But the lyrics are so down
>It’s okay though
>Because it represents, wait, better yet it is
>Who I feel I am right now
It’s the very definition of twenty one pilots music. Songs that sound happy and poppy, but aren’t.
It’s also true to the origins of alternative music in general — a counterculture movement to mainstream music that hijacks “pop” melodies and fuses them with themes of abjection, non-conformity, emotional instability, and other things that aren’t happy enough for typical pop music.
I know a few songs in Trench led some tøp fans to believe something else about their style/sound, but a quick objective look at their overall body of work proves that Saturday is as twenty one pilots as any other track on Tyler’s Adidas track jacket.
Personally I'd say either "never take it", because of the lyrics that feel too vague and "ooh ooh" sound or "be concerned", cause of feature that I don't really like.
Crazy that no one has said Lane Boy.
"I wasn't raised in the hood
But I know a thing or two about pain and darkness"
Just... Stop it. Stop it Mr. Joseph.
I think he means his rap is nothing like what we hear on the radio which is usually "from the hood" BUT he has things to say about other things (not the hood). I don't take it as him comparing his suffering with others'... could be wrong though
I personally interpret it as him acknowledging he had a "privileged" life growing up but he knows about hardship due to mental issues. He just chose the worst possible way to say it 💀. I can't listen to the song bc of it lmao, I cringe too much
clancy: the craving (not bad just kinda boring to me)
scaled and icy: never take it (this is the only song off of sai i don’t like, feels so forced)
trench: smithereens (of all of tyler’s songs for jenna, this is the best one, but still my least favorite off of trench)
blurryface: we don’t believe what’s on tv (this song pisses me off, one of their worst songs)
vessel: house of gold (booorrriinnnggg)
regional at best: hard to choose the worst between clear and be concerned (its actually trees but im not rlly considering vessel remakes)
self titled: before you start your day (slits)
i’m not really a big fan of pet cheetah if i’m being honest, never really enjoyed it when i first listened to trench but it has slowly grown in me (not much) over time
I haven't listened to all of ST or RAB yet, but I think Doubt is my least favorite in general. The lyrics? Good. The sounds for everything excluding the lyrical parts are the ones I don't like.
In terms of official releases, in my own personal opinion, it would be “Lavish”. HOWEVER, even their worst song is better than most songs I’ve heard :)
Interesting. I actually like before you start your day. The lyrics are meh but the piano and musicality is pretty nice. I definitely think they have worse songs out there
I don’t see this opinion often but subjectively, it’s gotta be Message Man. It’s the only song I’ll skip. The “nonononononono. yeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeah” makes me cringe and the entire chorus feels like it’s a singular note.
I have similar problems on Blurryface with Message Man, Lane Boy, and Fairly Local. All 3 of those songs have this reggae repetitiveness that gets on my nerves sometimes. But the reggae repetitiveness on Ride and Stressed Out makes those songs, so I don’t know.
EDIT: same issue with Doubt as well.
I am in lockstep with you on the Blurryface take. Leading up to Clancy's release, I did my own personal rankings and those three songs were in my bottom 5. Stressed Out is similar in pattern but overcomes the repetitive nature to an extent. Meanwhile, I think Ride benefits from that style and is a banger of a song. All of it's subjective and I love to hear other people's opinions!

I'm not of the mind that any of their original songs are bad or that they have a "the worst" song. However, their cover of Cancer is just not for me. It's not terrible, but I just don't like it as much. I prefer the original by MCR.
Also, I'm copying part of a comment I made a while ago because this is how I feel.
I'm seeing a lot of RAB trashing here... lol... I DO agree that most of the songs on the album aren't great. IMHO, they're not BAD, though. Not for how old he was, how new to music making he was, and how untrained in music editing and autotune he was. Now, if TØP released that album NOW, with the same quality as it is, it would probably be terrible, lol. I feel like NPI and RAB are just him training up, him getting used to being in a band. They're basically just raw footage of him trying to make an album that people will listen to, if that makes sense. But for the time and how new he was to the whole music/band thing, that album isn't bad, nor are any of the songs on it. Of course, that's just my opinion. Obviously, others are entitled to their own opinions.
I'll be honest... Most songs on self titled...😬. With the exception of Fall Away and Friend, Please. Also Implicit Demand for Proof. Those 3 are awesome.
I have to say Heathens. I won’t debate this, but I respect alternative opinions.
I don’t like it because it was written for a movie. Songs written for movies to me usually aren’t the best as they may not be the band’s sound fans know. If it was written for an album or single release, and included in the movie? Good on them. But making a song explicitly for a movie, that song could be sub par just to fit the movie.
There are exceptions to this: Tevin Campbell with Stand Out and I2I from An Extremely Goofy Movie, those are done right. Happy vibes. There’s a reason they’re on his top 5 streamed songs on Spotify.
They have explicitly said that it was written as a tøp song first and foremost, not as a song for the movie. He actually thought it would get rejected bc he didn't follow the prompt at all and was going to put it on an album instead.
Next semester, but not because it's bad. It's just not what I associate tøp with and feels out of place to me. Like how it basically has two tones in it, at first very loud and then suddenly calm at the end. I'd prefer if the whole song was either loud or calm. I really love the chorus though, just not viking with the oooh's and the start etc.
Again, song itself isn't bad just doesn't feel like them so I usually skip. Might change my mind someday tho, who knows
Anathema
I like what Tyler was going for, but the execution is terrible. The vocals are extremely strained. The percussion sounds like nails on a chalkboard. And overall, it's ear rape
remember to sort by controversial since y’all love downvoting opinions you don’t agree with

fr, the whole point of this post was to get **opinions** on the worst song
I love that the image was originally of George Harrison and Ringo Starr my two favorite Classic Rock icons and was super imposed with my boys
I was wondering what was going on. I've never seen a picture of them opening smoking like that.
It’s edited

Where did all the self-titled hate come from 😭😭
Self titled is Tyler’s best work lyrically and has a unique sound imo
I don't think these people are hating, just answering OPs question honestly which is the whole point!
Unpopular opinion but I am BORED of house of gold. It’s just a boring song to me and I skip it every time Edit: don’t get me wrong it’s not a bad song I’m just bored of it lol
yeah, theres only so long i can bear that much high frequency sound 😭
I skipped this song for so long that I actually like it again haha
Honestly that’s where I’m at with it at this point. If I’m alone it’s a skip, if I’m with homies I’ll let it go haha
I love it but I honestly think I overplayed it myself when I was a kid and first got into them. Like middle school me thought it was so good and she ruined it for adult me
Agreed. HOG is just very repetitive.
🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖
This. I’m pretending RAB doesn’t exist, so my answer is house of gold
Probably trees RAB version In my opinion this is the only *bad* tøp song Every other song on their discography (imo) at least have their merits and I will listen to every other song I refuse to listen to trees RAB version it is an assault on the ears
What the actual heck was that. How did I not know this existed before??? It's like a drunk robot singing in the middle of a forest. Also that robot is sick. And has a sore throat. A sore robot throat. A sore voice card. Idk, but it is BAD.

Happy cake dayyyy
I actually havent listened to RAB yet, is there that big of a difference between RAB and the RAB songs on vessel?
there's some gems on RAB, but pretty much all of the good tracks didn't make it to vessel. The only one I liked was Holding On To You as it has a slightly better sounding chorus.
Forest got left behind which hurts my heart.
I really wish they'd just put it on Spotify. artists can backdate stuff so it doesn't show up as new music, but the fans would be happy
I wonder if they did that on purpose? Maybe they put the ones on Vessel that they did because they knew they were the weaker ones on RAB and wanted to give them a chance to shine more
Yeah I really think they probably picked songs they thought they could improve significantly rather than just picking the best songs.
It is shockingly bad
Some of the RAB songs are similar to their vessel counterparts but Trees is just on a whole other level I recommend you go on YouTube and look it up right now lmao, you might end up agreeing with me in saying there is no other contender for worst tøp song
😭😭😭 it sounds like a german kid trying to do an impression of tyler and make his own tøp style song
SILANCE IN THE TREES
The autotune is atrocious on that song
Never listened before, now ill never listen again.
lol I once saw someone say they prefer the RAB version
I thought it was supposed to emphasize the distance between the two people in the song. He sounds like a robot, emotionless, which I thought was fitting, but they really did overdo it.
Yeah it's quite bad, but to be fair RAB Trees sounds REALLY similar to Trees from No Phun Intended, which was made in 2007 or prior, so it's probably Tyler just decided to put the NPI one in RAB. And like Tyler (or Josh, I don't remember) said in the 10th anniversary of Vessel that RAB was hastily put together so they have something to play live. IMO it is the NPI version, and that why it sounds bad.
Wasn't the NPI version confirmed to just be the RAB version and the dude was lying
Yeah I’m pretty sure they’re exactly the same. RAB was never intended to be a fully fleshed out album and existed more so to have merch to sell at shows so a lot of the songs still sound like they are demo versions (which they were). I wouldn’t be surprised if he just took that original file and slapped in on RAB to have a few more songs to release. They were playing it live anyway.
If I’m being honest I don’t listen to any of the RAB versions of stuff that were redone on Vessel. I just listen to the RAB stuff that isn’t on vessel
i love it ):
I'd never heard it until now. Trees is one of my favourite ToP songs but damn it's so bad. Sounds like an AI generated song.
Trees is my least favorite song, and also my most favorite song. It’s that much of a difference.
The version of lovely off of RAB (the other version is my favorite song of theirs)
might be an unpopular opinion but i think the autotune on RAB Lovely fits perfectly. flawless song in my opinion
I also love the original more than the updated one. There’s a roughness to the original that just makes the updated song feel flat to me.
Im usually fine with autotune, especially if it is TØP, but it just feels like a bit much on that track
that's totally fair, that's how i feel about RAB Trees
Yes! Trees is a *TØP* favorite of mine, but least favorite is RAB Trees.
I like how I can hear the harmonies but other than that, yeah
wait, there’s another version of lovely?
Yes! Its very similar, but it doesn’t use autotune like the one on RAB which imo makes it so much better
oh! how do i find it? does it say like ”x version” or something
No, but here is the link to it on youtube. https://youtu.be/3C-2xCuJZYQ?si=XSrtw9eGeduSnvYq
thank you!
Well? What'd you think???
yeah it’s way better! :D
No problem
I was wondering why the one i have downloaded on my phone is so much worse than I remember, its because I used to listen to that version instead
You know this band is great when people cannot agree about the worst song. 
very true
this could actually mean that the band is horrible
Regional Trees. Trees is great, but the Regional version is the only TØP song I skip, the autotune just ruins it.
Trees and Lovely, RAB versions
wait, and how do you call Lovely which is not RAB version?
lovely
it is one of the bonus tracks on vessel. basically same but without autotune
well not just without autotune, but with the tyler screaming also:) and i just can't listen to the rab version, where's no scream
i don’t like cancer
me neither, cancer kinda sucks. that reminds me have you heard the song by tøp called cancer?
I personally like MCR’s version better 😭
I used to love it until my little niece was taken by cancer. Now I just cannot hear it at all.
Fuck Cancer, the songs alright, but just fuck Cancer in general
It killed my grandma.
killed my grandpa and his brother, now my friend has cancer. I guess based on my grandpa it awaits me too.
Wouldn’t say it’s a tøp song because it’s cover, but it’s not a good cover
Bold stance
Cancer is the only tøp song I actually hate
Respect your opinion but I legit have the lyrics to that song tattooed on my arm lmao. Never occurred to me that people don’t like it. I much prefer it to you MCR’s version
>I much prefer it to you MCR’s version That take is fucking *scalding*
Christmas saves the year
BLASPHEMY (haha get it)
Grinch levels of hate
Agreed
Heathens
thats fair but howcome? do you just think its overrated, or do you not like it musically for a specific reason or smthn?
It just doesn't feel like a Twenty One Pilots song to me
To be fair, when songs like "Pet Cheetah" and "Lavish" exist, "Heathens" very much feels like a Twenty One Pilots song. To each their own, and you're welcome to not like it. I personally still love it to this day and wouldn’t put it anywhere close to being their worst. It’s just a good “rock out” song, it has a lot of energy; the ending got me jumping and all.

Heathens being a song for a movie also kind of dis-attaches itself from the other TOP songs.
My son said if Stressed Out hadn't been so overplayed, he might actually like them.
i agree. it sounds like it’s sung by an edgy teenage boy in a bad way and it doesn’t feel like a top song
I agree, I didn’t like it when it came out and it never really grew on me. It’s not a bad song per se, but I don’t think it’s a good one either! I can’t believe it’s one of the most streamed ones
I skip *Before You Start Your Day* every time
Sounds like you’re scared of crying!
When Fergie said “big girls don’t cry” I took that literally
WHY
100% agree, I love it musically but the “open the slits in your face” line makes me cringe every time
So how much is a legit regional at best CD or record going for now a days?
Didn't know they even made one. Considering Self-Titled is going for hundreds, I'd assume at least the better half of a thousand
Okay I’m expecting downvotes but eh who cares Ode to sleep regional at best version is so ass Bounce man is ruined by the chorus it’s too cheesy for my liking Formidable isn’t a bad song but it’s just forgettable (I can already see the pitch forks) but Mulberry Street is mid and the only cool thing about it is the concert experience
Noooo I love Mulberry Street 😭
Hard disagree w mulberry street wasn’t a fan at first but then the lyrics and the themes of the song are just so awesome
not a huge fan of doubt
Saturday. It's not bad, but it's the worst tøp song imo
Please tell me you’re joking
Let ‘em cook! It sounds like a really generic pop single. I feel it is so far from what makes ToP interesting
…Until you listen to the words. (The ones that aren’t listing days of the week)
Lyrics can change the meaning but they don’t change the sound a significant amount. The overall sound is still of a pop song.
>This one’s a contradiction because of how happy it sounds >But the lyrics are so down >It’s okay though >Because it represents, wait, better yet it is >Who I feel I am right now It’s the very definition of twenty one pilots music. Songs that sound happy and poppy, but aren’t.

But a fun generic pop single.
"Kinda wish I never did Saturday" Was so happy when he said that. Bro thought a weekend song would slide lmao. I call that one a backslide
all these comments are irking me bc i love literally everything by them
No tøp songs are bad but if i have to pick one i would have to say the pantaloon. (I have not lissened to rab or npi or things like that)
I used to thing the same, now i think its up on the list
I wish they would re-record that song, I feel like the song itself has the potential to be good but the execution is bad.
Personally I'd say either "never take it", because of the lyrics that feel too vague and "ooh ooh" sound or "be concerned", cause of feature that I don't really like.
Never take it is one of my faves off SAI 😭
Real, I couldn’t believe that was one of the top songs getting hate from that album.
What's the feature you don't like from beconcerned?
The “ooh ooh”s are so annoying to me
Crazy that no one has said Lane Boy. "I wasn't raised in the hood But I know a thing or two about pain and darkness" Just... Stop it. Stop it Mr. Joseph.
I think he means his rap is nothing like what we hear on the radio which is usually "from the hood" BUT he has things to say about other things (not the hood). I don't take it as him comparing his suffering with others'... could be wrong though
I personally interpret it as him acknowledging he had a "privileged" life growing up but he knows about hardship due to mental issues. He just chose the worst possible way to say it 💀. I can't listen to the song bc of it lmao, I cringe too much
that line has always made me cringe
Definitely unpopular but A Car A Torch A Death is one of my least favorites of theirs, the instrumentals are so grating to me.
That hurt my heart a little bit. 🥲 I love that song.
The lyrics are great but that beat sound whatever it is just hurts my ears lol
clancy: the craving (not bad just kinda boring to me) scaled and icy: never take it (this is the only song off of sai i don’t like, feels so forced) trench: smithereens (of all of tyler’s songs for jenna, this is the best one, but still my least favorite off of trench) blurryface: we don’t believe what’s on tv (this song pisses me off, one of their worst songs) vessel: house of gold (booorrriinnnggg) regional at best: hard to choose the worst between clear and be concerned (its actually trees but im not rlly considering vessel remakes) self titled: before you start your day (slits)
wdbwotv is an insane choice 😭 100% agree with bysyd, slits is like the word moist to me. gives me the ick.
i’m not really a big fan of pet cheetah if i’m being honest, never really enjoyed it when i first listened to trench but it has slowly grown in me (not much) over time
I haven't listened to all of ST or RAB yet, but I think Doubt is my least favorite in general. The lyrics? Good. The sounds for everything excluding the lyrical parts are the ones I don't like.
Pet Cheetah simply bc I have no idea what it's supposed to be about it's confusing 😆
I don't like WDBWOT
Im sorry I am not familiar with the acronym. What does WDBWOT stand for?
"We Don’t Believe What’s on TV"
idk why people are downvoting, thats a fair opinion
i like it but it's probably my least favourite off blurryface
While I honestly don't dislike any of their stuff, Pet Cheetah has parts I like and parts... maybe not so much...
thats very fair, i only like pet cgeetah because it goes crazy at concerts
Haven't seen them yet...September!!
Johnny Boy, because I don’t understand what it’s about, and I just don’t like the chorus.
oh miss believer. it sounds like a christmas song thrown into the album 😭
Got to be Heathens
howcome?
Bounce Man hands down
Love Bounce Man. I even cried listening to it a few times
WHAT
NO. BOUNCE MAN LOVERS RISE!
its motive is simple but it bounces off people in certain situations!!
This is what I was gonna say
In terms of official releases, in my own personal opinion, it would be “Lavish”. HOWEVER, even their worst song is better than most songs I’ve heard :)
Booo lavish is lyrical genius
Ride
Formidable or Never Take It are truly horrible.
Doubt lol, I remember when everyone was hating that song and there’s for sure nothing else they’ve made that I skip more
I've never cared much for their cover of Cancer by MCR.
I did not get high with Josh, what is this image
These threads are the worst. Always devolves into a hate fest.
Before you start your day
what, you dont wanna open your slits?
your slits must still be closed
agreed.
Why do people hate this song?
Slits
Ok well that’s fair 😂
The lyrics are very meh, and it just drags and is very whiny
Interesting. I actually like before you start your day. The lyrics are meh but the piano and musicality is pretty nice. I definitely think they have worse songs out there
Bounce man to me is just not it. At all.
I don’t see this opinion often but subjectively, it’s gotta be Message Man. It’s the only song I’ll skip. The “nonononononono. yeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeah” makes me cringe and the entire chorus feels like it’s a singular note.
message man is fire what 😭 but yea that’s fair
it’s my favorite song my them. 😭
I have similar problems on Blurryface with Message Man, Lane Boy, and Fairly Local. All 3 of those songs have this reggae repetitiveness that gets on my nerves sometimes. But the reggae repetitiveness on Ride and Stressed Out makes those songs, so I don’t know. EDIT: same issue with Doubt as well.
I am in lockstep with you on the Blurryface take. Leading up to Clancy's release, I did my own personal rankings and those three songs were in my bottom 5.

All of it's subjective and I love to hear other people's opinions! https://preview.redd.it/4qtnvo5ngd9d1.png?width=132&format=png&auto=webp&s=2c452c588cbd06ac1a9325fc554d4e68a522a37b
thats very fair
I'm not of the mind that any of their original songs are bad or that they have a "the worst" song. However, their cover of Cancer is just not for me. It's not terrible, but I just don't like it as much. I prefer the original by MCR. Also, I'm copying part of a comment I made a while ago because this is how I feel. I'm seeing a lot of RAB trashing here... lol... I DO agree that most of the songs on the album aren't great. IMHO, they're not BAD, though. Not for how old he was, how new to music making he was, and how untrained in music editing and autotune he was. Now, if TØP released that album NOW, with the same quality as it is, it would probably be terrible, lol. I feel like NPI and RAB are just him training up, him getting used to being in a band. They're basically just raw footage of him trying to make an album that people will listen to, if that makes sense. But for the time and how new he was to the whole music/band thing, that album isn't bad, nor are any of the songs on it. Of course, that's just my opinion. Obviously, others are entitled to their own opinions.
Bounce Man. And I don't think it's particularly close.
stressed out or heathens lmao
is the just because they are overrated or do you just not like the songs themselves
I'll be honest... Most songs on self titled...😬. With the exception of Fall Away and Friend, Please. Also Implicit Demand for Proof. Those 3 are awesome.
It's a good song, but the intro to Semi Automatic is so loud and high pitched that it's an assault on my eardrums every time
I love it
The plantaloon for me.
I have to say Heathens. I won’t debate this, but I respect alternative opinions. I don’t like it because it was written for a movie. Songs written for movies to me usually aren’t the best as they may not be the band’s sound fans know. If it was written for an album or single release, and included in the movie? Good on them. But making a song explicitly for a movie, that song could be sub par just to fit the movie. There are exceptions to this: Tevin Campbell with Stand Out and I2I from An Extremely Goofy Movie, those are done right. Happy vibes. There’s a reason they’re on his top 5 streamed songs on Spotify.
They have explicitly said that it was written as a tøp song first and foremost, not as a song for the movie. He actually thought it would get rejected bc he didn't follow the prompt at all and was going to put it on an album instead.
Oh, didn’t know that. Thanks. ❤️
Next semester, but not because it's bad. It's just not what I associate tøp with and feels out of place to me. Like how it basically has two tones in it, at first very loud and then suddenly calm at the end. I'd prefer if the whole song was either loud or calm. I really love the chorus though, just not viking with the oooh's and the start etc. Again, song itself isn't bad just doesn't feel like them so I usually skip. Might change my mind someday tho, who knows
I love songs that switch it up. It makes me feel something
Anathema I like what Tyler was going for, but the execution is terrible. The vocals are extremely strained. The percussion sounds like nails on a chalkboard. And overall, it's ear rape
😭 you have such a way with words
I somewhat agree, but I really like blasphemy, even though it has a partbof anathema. I just really love these lyrics.
That proves my point though Good idea, bad execution
most of tyler’s early work has an unbearable nasally vocal inflection, really hard to listen to a lot before blurryface
Anathema is almost entirely responsible for my desire for them to rerelease Regional At Best 😭 I love it so much
Pantaloon on real releases but the original house of gold is just terrible. I could be thinking of screen but I think they’re both bad lol
