Kitchen Sink IS a sleeper. When he finally screams "Don't leave me alone" after repeating leave me alone throughout the song hits me HARD. He perfectly described the feeling of depression and loneliness in that one line. You want everything to stop and everyone to leave you alone because dealing with it all is painful. But in the same breath, it is just as scary to be alone with your thoughts and have no one there to help you.

[@TheNraveles]

It is by far one of the BEST things tyler has done in any song tbh.

[@reigrayson]

The main and basically only difference between the songs here and on vessel, is that these are demos. there's no real drums, it's all made by tyler on his computer. Vessel are the final versions of those songs. When doing regional at best, the other two og members (chris salih/drums and nick thomas/bass) left the band. Josh joined a lil before this record was done. Kitchen sink features tyler's brother Zack. Be concerned features a guy named Jocef, a guy tyler went to college with.

[@davidi.9877]

Lovely has 2 versions, i recommend both, the second one was an extra vessel track and it has no autotunr

22:00 those lyrics are from another song from "No Phun Intended", an álbum that Tyler wrote before he started the band Oh yeah, and the verses for "Fall Away" (from the Self Titled) come from the song "Drown", song that is also part of No Phun Intended

[@sp0ngeb00b7]

Fall Away is one of my fav Self Titled tracks and I didn't know this, thank you!

vessel trees and car radio sound really different to me but that’s probably because i’ve heard them so much

Self titled has some of my favorite songs on it including, Pantaloon, Johnny Boy, March to the sea, and so many more. Glad to see you going through it all.

[@AbHearn1]

Self titled was when twenty one pilots was made of 3 members Tyler, Chris and Nick. Regional at best was the first album Josh was on, and Chris and Nick had already left at this point.

[@jiplugpumelonnai9199]

Josh was in the band, but Tyler recorded it on his own, and programmed the drums. Nick and Chris were around for the early conceptualization of RAB. Car Radio and Trees are among the songs that were written and played prior to Josh joining. TLDR: RAB has only Tyler on it

[@athanasiospapadopoulos6582]

@@jiplugpumelonnai9199 thanks for clearing that up. I always thought that Nick and Chris worked on Regional at Best with Tyler, but left before they released it, and then Josh joined shortly thereafter.

[@ethanp1348]

Why was this scrapped? Well, Tyler self-released and produced this and the Self-Titled album before being signed to Fueled By Ramen. When signing, part of the deal allowed him to keep the distribution rights to one of their albums for himself. He chose to keep the Self-Titled, presumably because it's more personal to him (though I can't say for certain), and gave RAB's rights to the label. FBR took the album down before Vessel released, and I assume that's because half the songs are on Vessel, and they didn't want to take away from that album's sales. There are rumors that they'll officially re-release this album for the tenth anniversary next month, but there've been rumors of that before, so don't count on it. Also, Be Concerned featured rapper wasn't one of his brothers, but his friend from college called Jocef. Tyler's also featured on one of his songs called Live, and there's a song they made together as a college project called Dollhouse about a play they read in their theatre class.

[@DracoOoOoOo]

There are definitely changes in the songs that are on both albums but they are mostly subtle and easy to miss. My preference leans to the vessel version but mostly because that is what I heard the most.

[@brosephin]

I'm pretty sure when he says "tell our dad I'm sorry" he's talking about God lol

[@asdband888]

Do you see why starting at the end made it a little hard to discover and explore TOP? I think you might have appreciated the newer albums more if you had started at the beginning. But it seems like you are appreciating the new albums anyhow. They have come a long way but their base has stayed the same. As you said the production and sound have evolved and improved over time, but the basics of the beginning are amazing in their own right. I love Forest and Kitchen Sink is a fan fave. But the whole thing is a great album!

[@wyldstealer]

also also. don’t forget tyler’s first album “No Phun Intended” Serious vibes on that one. rough production at times but pretty damn good. it’s a crime to not react to taco bell saga

[@XeroLucian]

[@FabrizioSalerno]

[@HobzVHS]

I think if this album was remastered and the songs reshuffled in a different order, it would probably be the best twenty one pilots album of all time. Vessel is my favorite album, screen, semi automatic, and fake you out being some of my favorite tracks. But I might be willing to give them up if I heard Forest, Glowing eyes, Anathema, lovely, Be concerned and Clear remastered to its full potential.

[@TheBlindEternities]

I don’t know if you’re aware but Lovely has been remastered and is actually featured on Vessel as a bonus track.

[@HobzVHS]

@@TheBlindEternities I completely forgot about Lovely being a bonus track in other countries. I remember being very happy when finding the “non-auto tune version” of Lovely and converting it in my phone back when I was still learning about them.

[@sp0ngeb00b7]

Best, I don't know, but taking the best tracks from here and the best tracks from Vessel would absolutely top out.

[@HobzVHS]

@@sp0ngeb00b7 it’s always been an interesting stance when I heard people say that Regional at best is their favorite album. As personally I cannot get over the production value, with Vessel being my favorite album, I can’t listen to original version from Regional at Best. But the more I think about it, the best tracks from Vessel are already on the album, it just comes down to preference of the more deeper cuts.

Main difference in "Trees": autotune vs amazing vocals on Vessel

[@potato44_]

In Regional at Best, Trees was full auto-tune but in Vessel, no auto-tune in sight mainly because fans of twenty one pilots aren't really fans of auto-tune

[@strem2267]

[@AbHearn1]

I love these reaction videos omg you have so much energy!! If you wanna continue listening to them then I recommend some of their singles: Heathens (you might know that already), Cancer (MCR cover), Can’t help falling in love (Elvis cover), Level of concern, Level of concern from the outside, Christmas saves the year, Shy away livestream version, Vessel also has some bonus tracks if you can find them And obviously the album self titled

[@mollymoleres2115]

It's cool that you checked this out! It's kind of the forgotten stepchild of twenty one pilots' albums, but a lot of people in the fan base love it because it was the first album of theirs they started touring on outside of Ohio (hence the name lol!) Also, this album was done almost exclusively by Tyler (instruments and production) with some help on production from the old drummer in the band. Josh came into the band right as it was finished and was the one who played the songs live. It was made right as the older members (Chris Salih and Nick Thomas) left and Josh joined. (They actually have a web series titled Regional At Best following them touring this album on their KZbin channel). Finally, I have seen a couple people mention you should react to the "album" No Phun Intended. I know a lot of fans love it, but I think it is important to know that this isn't a real album. Only 6 tracks from it were released with permission from the artist. The others have been uploaded by other people who for what ever reason had a copy. The 'track listing' is just a collection of bootlegged songs and even the songs that Tyler originally uploaded were eventually taken down by him.

A little disappointed in your breakdown of Kitchen Sink. I guess I was hoping you'd focus on the part where he's giving advice on creating in order to fight off your demons. "Are you searching for purpose? Then write something, yeah it might be worthless Then paint something then, it might be wordless Pointless curses, nonsense verses You'll see purpose start to surface" These bars are fire & poignant.

[@projektoragami]

Ruby is about a girl with down syndrome from tylers church. It's really sweet. Also your reactions are amazing

[@TheNraveles]

The “don’t leave me alone” in kitchen sink makes me cry every single time. Personally I deleted all the songs you can find on vessel from RAB as I’m not a fan of the style tyler did on here (to me they just felt super unfinished, lackluster, etc) but every other song was perfectly made imo.

[@austinmucciante3108]

You should try OK Computer by Radiohead. One of the best of all time. The lyrics are profound and life changing, and the music is insanely good.

[@ELias-vn5yv]

There’s not supposed to be any structural difference between the regional at Best versions and vessel versions. For guns for hands, they reused the exact same vocals for the vessel version, but they mixed it way better. It’s the same exact song though. For holding on to you, they also used the same vocals, but remixed everything. It’s still the same exact song in essence though. For ode to sleep, it’s the same song structure, but on Regional at best, it’s slightly slower, and the vocals are much different. They re recorded and used totally new sounds and vocals for the Vessel version. For Car Radio, the song structure is again the exact same song as vessel. This one was just completely re recorded for vessel. And then Trees is the most obviously different, because the regional at Best version was auto tuned, but the vessel version wasn’t. So if you put each version together, you can obviously tell the difference between them all.

[@virgosxgroove]
