[@dwellerintheden7973]

My favorite part of the album is when they say “Welcome back to French” and the entire rest of the album is sung in French

[@guesta6005]

Absolutely - if I’m being honest, I find that there’s a few tøp songs out there which I listen to specifically for the drumming. Josh is probably my favourite drummer right now

[@allonmyownherewego9893]

This might be some of the best Josh Dunn drumming on any TOP album. He tastefully brings the groove, fills and energy to every song - even if it’s a mid one. It’s certainly a great album for drums.

[@mr.joesterr5359]

Agreed. ToP might have issues sometimes woth their music but josh's drumming has NEVER been one of them lol

[@Mcguguf]

I used to think on some songs like On Scaled and Icy or even here the patterns were too simple but I actually appreciate how tight and fitting all of his drumming is even when it's not trying to be too flashy and take over the song, instead servicing it and bringing it up, and knowing when to bring in the bigger solos and fills

To be honest, about 80% of this album grows on you the more you listen to it. With Backslide specifically I feel like the structure seems a bit weird at first and the chorus does not feel like a chorus at first, but on second listen you really start appreciating how huge it is.

@@thatguy4310i think a 7 is deserved tbh defo not better than trench but it’s still a pretty good album

[@AgentZeata]

I think the reason that Snap Back feels so similar to Backslide in its themes is because it's the fears from Backslide come to life. Backslide is about not wanting to backslide and trying to avoid it, while Snap Back is the backslide actually happening and "all the progress being lost." That then leads directly into Oldies Station which I think is kind of the thesis of album. Sometimes backsliding can be inevitable because people aren't perfect, you "start a streak you're bound to break." So the answer that Tyler comes up with is to just keep on trying and not give up when that happens. "When darkness rolls on you, push on through."

[@PlanetaryMaxwell]

The album is also about a cycle that Clancy can't break

[@Beckzyy]

The fact he brought up navigating and routines as being two of the better songs on the album when Tyler had to be convinced to keep them on the album by Josh is hilarious 😂 Also the point of lavish was to be different. That’s entirely it’s purpose. They said they didn’t want to back themselves into a corner of being one style ponies, where they’re forced into feeling like they can only write one style of music. And it achieves that, it’s like a reminder that they aren’t afraid to adventure and differ from what they usually do.

I don't think that the "welcome back to trench" line on Overcompensate means necessarily "welcome back to the trench era of songwriting". It can be taken as a line from the story since the character is actually returning to trench and dema as tyler explains in the "i am clancy" video.

He was much more fair and positive on this than I thought he would be. I was predicting g he would give it between a 4 and 5, so I’m glad to see he enjoyed it. I love the album, but I can’t say any of the critiques he brings to the table aren’t things I hadn’t also considered. Multiple listens have cleared up a lot of things I initially had problems with. Very solid review and glad he’s not buying into the pretentious twenty one pilots music critic hate train.

[@lanceb247Upload]

I much prefer Fantano’s review videos over his gang of reviewers w/chat livestreams…. 🙄 At least this felt well thought out and gave credit where it was due. I definitely disagree with some of his opinions anyway, but at least it was not just a dismissive and offensive review to the fans of the band. Sad about his cringey comments on Vignette, though - Tyler’s singing and falsetto on that track is actually one of the highlights of the album for me. 😳

[@ohhello1809]

Same I was confused when he said that like bro i love the falsetto and I wish he used it more

[@HobzVHS]

I appreciated the effort in your Twenty One Pilots reviews Anthony even though you’re not a big fan of them. I wish Trench wasn’t tied to this album as it doesn’t feel much like a sequel in lore, production, vibes, anything really. It’s like this weird middle period and is better off as its own thing. I have small issues with pockets of the album, but overall has some of my favorite songs like Navigation, Vignette, and At the Risk of Feeling Dumb. The pacing of the album just feels off for a twenty one pilots album, but i like the direction they are taking overall.

[@liminalityy_]

Every single album TOP has released is tied to the storyline (including Heathens despite it not being part of an album) and every album has a different vibe and style to it, which I feel like is something that non-TOP fans don't really understand. They expect a definitive, similar sounding sequel to Trench that they will probably never get I do really like how almost every single song on this album follows a mix of their previous albums though, at the risk of feeling dumb feels like RaB combined with Blurryface for example

[@dumbmusorowan]

i feel the opposite pretty much, i think the vibes and the production and the themes and the songwriting all fit perfectly for the step after trench. the only thing that doesn't make sense to me is the lore. trench felt like when you first make a connection in a murder mystery story, and you expect to then start piecing together what happened, but clancy just seems like.. another first clue? not connected to anything solid. but when you take scaled and icy into account as being an in-universe album i think it all fits a little better, plus the circumstances of the band itself. also the pacing works for me, again like a culmination of all their previous stuff. but hey, all of my impressions are filtered through the fact i was obsessed with this band when i was 13 lol.

[@SirTheory]

Twenty One Pilots is one of those bands I haven't paid much attention to, but always kinda felt like maybe I should? Like, especially in terms of massively popular, mainstream rock, everything I've heard from the band before Clancy (which isn't much) has been very respectable. So I gave Clancy a listen. And another listen. And another. My overriding takeaway is that Clancy reminds me of music I liked growing up. And there's something nice and comfortable about that. I guess file them along with POD as bands who released music in 2024 that I wasn't expecting to connect with, but I keep coming back to and could conceivably see making my year-end list.

great review as always. i’m glad you enjoyed the album! i’ve been a massive fan for years of twenty one pilots and have been waiting to hear your thoughts. you’re always very concise and well spoken. surprised you gave it a strong 6/10 though, your entire breakdown made it seem like you were gearing up to give it a 7/10 at least lol

[@MrPolitical2]

Personally I rated this alblum a 7/10 I believe it has some really high points and some really low points. I’m surprised you didn’t like vignette as that was imo one of the best tracks on the album with its strong hitting instrumentals and it’s great vocal performance. Also don’t take anything some of these TOP fans say in a negative way towards the artist. Some of these fans are way too ambitious

[@kubahavelka9556]

Should've said Trench - sition at the end

[@filbertfiddlesticks]

yknow as a tøp fan myself, i think ill take this one. def better than some of the other reviews people gave clancy.

[@rosemulet]

You can’t just give this a 21/10 and think you’ll get away with it…

[@ima_jesus]

I appreciate Fantano vibing with how much of a straightforward album this is, you can tell it is one of it’s strengths when every song feels so personal to tyler and josh instead of trying to fit into a complex narrative

[@Kuso319]

Strong 6 is something im happy with. Still his second favorite TØP album lmao so i can agree

[@sophiaisabelle0227]

We appreciate how well you've articulated your insights. Keep doing your best.

[@Tylercantsleep]

you completely misinterpreted backslide and snapback. Backslide is him not wanting to backslide and snapback is him backsliding and trying to get back to the mindset in backslide.

It’s also really funny and doesn’t take itself seriously, and I don’t know if everybody realizes that’s intentional. The music video helps communicate the vibe they were going for with the song. I love it and think it’s hilarious, especially the proctologist line

A 6 is perfect for this album. Didn’t hit as hard as Trench been a tøp fan for a loooong time, but I appreciate everything they put into it despite some songs just falling flat for the most part. Fire review Mr. melatonin

[@shashanklakhaiyar6440]

he didn't seem to have much of a problem with this album and I'm so glad about it and I'm happy that he stated the unnecessary hate tøp are getting from people who didn't even tried to listen to their musics and based their opinions on just listening to some reviewer (i think we know who we are talking about) , try the music out for yourself first rather than basing your opinions on what other thinks

[@kristina_eb]

I'm shocked. He rated it lower than I did but the way he talked about the record is borderline more positive than I am about it

[@aiajaj]

yea

[@fa2lemuelm2]

Expected. Fantano has always been not too deep into the lore and the callbacks like in 1:45 (even trench has a lot of more direct ones, which he mostly passed by), but this album is such a fascinating show of celebration for the group's discography and journey. I personally feel that deserves more merit with how it influenced the structure of top's music. Fair review for what the music can offer regardless. Very articulate in his opinions, which I respect. Especially because of that horrible first impressions listen on his stream. Thank you for giving this an opportunity and time to make for a concise video.

[@evan]

Trench is probably my fave TOP album, so I'm stoked to give the new one a listen. I didn't listen to the one in the middle more than once

This is the second time i've been excited to see "Twenty One Pilots - Clancy Album" in my notifications, Will definitely be cranking one out to this one Melon Man 👍👍

[@E_E_PITCHES]

Fantano would’ve given it a 10 if it was a lot better

[@lastsecondhero87]

Its not going back to the Trench ERA. Its the characters of the story going back to the continent named Trench.

[@comp.lex4]

Why would this make any difference? Shouldn't Trench (place) sound like Trench (album) anyway? And why would they start the album off with a track like Overcompensate (which could have been on Trench) and the words "welcome back to Trench" if they didn't want you to think of Clancy partially as a companion piece to Trench? Silly thing to bring up, I think

[@WhiteTrash2993]

​@@comp.lex4 not necessarily tho because Trench (album) was pretty much set in Dema. And Clancy is set in Voldsoy. so a completely different sound actually makes a lot of sense even if you look at it from that lense. Dema is dark and bleak and Voldsoy is an icy island. Blurryface is technically set in Trench as well

[@comp.lex4]

@@WhiteTrash2993 in that case the original comment makes even less sense since the characters aren't even going back to Trench lol

[@some_one]

@@comp.lex4 the album is until the point of navigating the return to trench, but overall the theme of the album is reclaiming the color red as in the blurryface era in opposition to the banditos (the yellow in trench) and musically it makes sense as fantano pointed out that some of their songs are similar to the previous albums instead of trench

[@gucketjug]

Lore below For people (like melon) that dont really get this, scroll on if you dont care ❤ every Twenty One Pilots album since Blurryface is part of the Trench/Clancy storyline. "Blurryface" is another name for Nico, who is the antagonist of the story. At the end of Trench, Clancy runs away from the city. Scaled and Icy is still part of the storyline, and "welcome back to trench" on Overcompensate is in reference to Clancy returning to "finish the fight" or what have you, not particularly about the sound of the old record. Alls to say; they didnt "take a break" from the concept albums, theyve always been making them. Glad to see this album get a six, much higher than i was expecting after he listened to some of this on the livestream

[@kristina_eb]

every Twenty One Pilots album from Blurryface on*

[@gucketjug]

@@kristina_eb my bad, you are correct :) edited the comment to be correct :)

[@josgriek3101]

Nice review. Even if I dont think that we already got the “full length” LP, because of the ending. I think we get another Song or maybe even an album

[@ThatMonkey]

Anthony‘s pretending he doesn’t care about the lore when we all know that when the fight against the Bishops happens, he‘d be the first one from the Banditos to start swinging

[@kevinlowen2648]

This is a really good review. I am honest I was kinda worried that Anthony didn't see the quality that goes into this album and gives arguments that fail in quality, but I can totally understand his position. On some parts I can relate and agree, but since I really like this album a lot, I can also only disagree on many parts, but this is just taste. Someone likes to listen to things and ideas which others don't like ti listen to. I feel dumb that I was a little frustrated that his reactions were mostly not understandable. It was just a first listen and I shouldn''t care too much. On the other hand, sometimes these reviews and reactions show me amazing TØP really is. I hope that IF there is coming more with this album, because many theories point a little bit in this direction, that he will listen to it :)
