Twenty One Pilots: Vessel

Twenty One Pilots:  Vessel

I'm so pumped that nobody has reviewed a Twenty One Pilots album yet.  My wife introduced me to them and it became a running joke (that we've since retired as it ran its course) that I dove into them so hard-core that I'd turn to her and say, "Don't be afraid of a guy in shades."

Oh, wait.  That's Corey Hart.  I get myself mixed-up with '80s singers all the time.

I'd turn to her and say, "Hey, you should really get into this band called Twenty One Pilots..."

If I were a musical act, I've long said I'd be The Beastie Boys.  But a close second now may very well be Twenty One Pilots.

I.  Love.  These.  Guys.

They're fun, upbeat, self-referential, and self-deprecating.  I was actually torn amongst their three albums:  Twenty One Pilots (2009).  Vessel (2013).  Blurryface (2015).  I leaned towards doing their latest, given Musooklub likes to lean to the recent.  And it was the cheapest.

But I feel a special draw to their 2013 effort.  So, I splurged.

A decidedly non-upbeat turn is "Car Radio," which to me is a modern masterpiece.

I'll leave y'all with a screen shot of the music video.

The guy dons a mask to cover everything but his eyes.  The opposite of sunglasses.
