Twenty One Pilots’ newest album, Breach, features 13 similar-sounding songs that portray a sad story that stretches over many years.

The tracks on the album symbolize the broken trust between the band and their fans, paired with the breach of the walls of the fictional city that were left open by characters named Clancy and Banditos.

In this fictional world, Dema is a city built of cement on the continent of Trench. It is ruled by nine different bishops, who strictly enforce a new religion called Vialism. The group created the storyline to show their own mental struggles, insecurities, and societal pressures.

The album starts strong with “City Walls,” which covers most of the new storylines. The song follows patterns from their past music and supports the rest of the album.

Other great songs on the album include “Drum Show,” “RAWFEAR,” and “The Contract.” All of these elements play a significant role in the story unfolding within the music. They depict the struggle to escape the oppression of the city because the city has a deep hold on the characters.

The final song on the album, “Intentions,” suggests that the story that began in 2015 on the album Blurryface is now coming to an end.

Overall, the record is a must-listen for anyone wanting to try something new or wanting to listen to a deeply thought-out story that will change the way they think about music.
