- I like how he's just following Blurryface right now,
as he gave into it.
I already [bleep] analyzed the [bleep] out of this video.
- I don't understand anything that's happening in this music video,
but I'm so excited to read the eight million metaphors.

♪ (tempo increases) ♪
- Yeah!
- Okay, this is very different from a lot of their stuff.
- It sounds different than their other songs.
This one's definitely a lot more rock and roll sounding.
- There's a lot going on. I don't understand a lot of this.
♪ (tempo slows) ♪ - Why is he holding a flower?
- Got Death right next to him.
- God, Blurryface is so scary.
- A new character.
- And then Josh [bleep] shows up like it's the end credit scene
in a Marvel movie.
- I'm just really confused.
- I don't know what this means.
I want to know what this means.
- Okay, it's like there's some significance that
I'm totally missing here.
- That was great, man. That was good.
I thought it was real entertaining.
- It was a little wild.
I love videos that tell stories.
It's like you get a chance to watch a little movie.
- It blends together so many different sounds that shouldn't work
but they all flow to create this weird musical narrative
and it's so unique.
- (FBE) So that was "Jumpsuit," the newest music video
from Twenty One Pilots. - Yeah.
Yeah, it [bleep] was.
I listened to that song probably 30 times
the same day it came out.
- I usually like Twenty One Pilots, but this one just didn't
make sense to me.
- (FBE) The duo also released a new single
along with the music video, so we have a portion
of that song for you to hear next. - Oh, really? Okay.
- (gasping) Oh, this is so cute.
- ♪ East is up, I'm fearless when... ♪ - Oh! I do really like this.

- ♪ Save your razorblades now, not yet ♪
- This is groovy!
- There's not a song that I've listened to I don't like about them.
They're just so good.
- ♪ ...my jumpsuit is on steady ♪
- It just said "jumpsuit," so I guess that's
why they're released together.
- I like how that links back to the other song.
- ♪ ...oh ♪
♪ I'm so high... ♪
- It's such a different vibe from the first song,
but when you listen to them back to back, they go together so well.
- ♪ ...from Nico and the Niners ♪
- Nico and the Niners? I wonder what that means.
- Both these songs were so well written.
Just everything about it, the instrumentals themselves
are so good.
- I think I like the other song better than this song,
but I do like this song.
- ♪ (singing backwards) ♪ - Hey, a little backwards action.
- This is a little White Album action here.
- ♪ ...when I want to be enough ♪
♪ What a beautiful day for making a break for it ♪

They play it backwards and then he [bleep] raps over it.

♪ And start a concert... ♪ - (chuckling)
It's that just-- I love it. (laughing)
- ♪ We'll win but not everyone will get out ♪
♪ No, no ♪ - I like that.
It's so good.
The radio should be playing more stuff like this.
- Is this supposed to just be sort of like a story or something?
He mentions running from someone and then in the last one
he tried running from someone.
- I'm at a loss for words even though I've been processing
this for a week, you know? I still don't know what to say.
It's so amazing. I love these guys, dude.
- (FBE) So lead vocalist Tyler Joseph and drummer Josh Dun
make up Twenty One Pilots.
- So a lead vocalist and a drummer? Wow.
- (FBE) The band is known for blending a variety of genres
together, most notably rap and rock.
- You know, and reggae. That's one of their biggest influences.
- (FBE) So we recently polled our cast and found out
that Twenty One Pilots had fans across Kids, Teens, College Kids,
all the way up through Adults. - That's so cool!
- (FBE) Why do you think that a band like this
works across multiple generations like this?
- Either their music is really catchy, really good, or it could
relate to them.
- They're mixing genres together and just kind of creating
their own sound.
It could totally interest the entire population
and encourage people to listen to more different stuff.
- It reminds me of the kinds of songs that I would pick on a playlist
to play at a party.
You put a good set of music in the background
and it makes you remember that party.
- On a surface level, Twenty One Pilots can be
perceived as very much a hot topic band,
where they're like, "Oh, I'm going to rap about emotions."
But when you actually get into the music
and the identity behind it and what they're really creating,
it's something special and I think everyone can
appreciation something that they're doing.
- It's about their feelings and growing up.
I know that's a lot of things-- and kind of your inner demons,
which everyone has.
- Tyler Joseph has gone through a lot of [bleep] in his life
with depression. The fact that he's writing
all these songs that are touching on these issues,
it resonates with kids and adults and elders and whatever,
you know, just everybody, because they're issues
that humans face.
- Twenty One Pilots actually sing or rap about relatable stuff.
It says, "Wake up. You gotta get the money."
In your teen stage or tween age, you have to have
some money for lunch or either some stuff you want
to get at the mall.
(ding)
- (FBE) After they reached mainstream success
and toured around the globe, the duo spent a whole year
away from making any kind of music and then it's been two years
since they released their latest single.
- Oh, jeez. I didn't realize Blurryface was that old.
- That's risky, right, because you run the risk of losing loyalty.
- (FBE) So as, you know, a music fan and consumer,
do you like when artists kind of take those breaks,
regroup and come up with a new sound, or do you prefer when
artists are constantly releasing music as they're coming up with it?
- I think it's better for them to keep releasing because
I forgot about them.
- I really don't care if they stop, but I'll usually just move on
to a different artist until they start uploading again.
- I don't really have a preference.
I don't think it's the choice of the listeners.
A lot of artists and bands, after going on tour
and having all this huge exposure, sometimes they do just need a break.
- It's good for them to have a break, to spend time with
their family and friends.
- It's all about the artist and if you had a great album before,
then you don't have to rush to bring out something great,
if that's not your time.
- I just want them to be happy with what they put out,
so, I mean, I'm happy to wait, but, yeah, hell yeah,
I wish that they would have new music all the time.
- Showing that they took time away from the public eye
and really focused on themselves and their music,
regardless if you're a fan, you've got to admit
that shows their music is true.
Even though, yes, I would love to get music from my favorite artist
every day, in my opinion, it's not gonna be as good as
someone who really takes the time to do it.
- I almost think the hiatus was the story,
you know what I mean?
Them going on hiatus was Tyler getting consumed
by Blurryface and then him breaking out from it with this song.
(rumbling) (explosion)
Boom!
- (FBE) So finally, their upcoming album Trench
is set to release on October 5th.
Since we have so many different generations today,
we wanted to see if you think the new Twenty One Pilots album
will live up to their previous album. - Definitely.
I think it's gonna be great, man.
I think this album is going to do well.
- If they've got the staying power, then it'll stick.
- I honestly think that maybe they're just worn out
and they've done everything that they could possibly do.
- They will because they actually make some pretty good music.
- They'll be a big success because people are like, "Hmmm,
I want to see what they're gonna do this time."
- I don't think so personally because they took such a long break.
People probably forgot about them.
- They'll definitely do well in this next album.
- Blurryface was crazy, how big it got,
so I don't think it's gonna be as huge as that.
- I don't think they're ever going back.
I think it's all just up from here.
They're going to be worldwide phenomenons always.
- Blurryface is a flawless album. I love every song on that album
and I think Trench is going to live up to the same hype.
It's gonna be a perfect album.
