Perfect From 5 Albums
that capture
you from the
Note One first beat.

  Vessel-Twenty-one Pilots (2013)
   ​​Have you ever been listening to an album, and ​Two-man band Twenty-one Pilots’ first hit
it’s so good until...that ​one​song. Either it disrupts
the flow, doesn’t follow a story, has less album, Vessel was first made well-known with the
meaningful lyrics, is just one beat off, or just flat single “Car Radio,” which is about a young Tyler

that one song. Except these. These 5 albums are, experience with getting his radio stolen in college.
in my eyes, perfect from note one, to the final Despite it’s popularity, “Car Radio” is not my
beat. Artists like All Time Low, Halsey, Panic! At favorite track by far. “Truce” takes the cake for

their storytelling, songwriting, and song worse, hearing Tyler ask me to “stay alive, stay
composition abilities. So, in no particular order, alive, for me,” has helped me a lot.
here are 5 great albums.

BADLANDS-Halsey (2015) Don’t Panic: It’s Longer Now!-All Time Low
​​Ashley Frangipane (Frang-ee-pawn-ee), (2012)

better known by her stage name Halsey, released T​he “It’s Longer Now!” is the extended version of
her first full album, BADLANDS, in 2015. It’s a
concept record about being caught in wastes All Time Low’s original album, “Don’t Panic.” I put

makes the most sense in the album, and the
amazing lyrics like “with your face all made up,
living on a screen, low on self-esteem so you run
on gasoline.”

 

White Noise-PVRIS (2014)

Personally, I feel like this picture is enough reason ​Finally, the last album that I’m listing is White
to say that it’s my favorite. This is a picture from
the music video for “Backseat Serenade.” Noise by PVRIS (Pronounced Paris, not P-Virus, or
Piv-ris). This album is fiesty, angry, and lonely;
these words could also be used to describe lead
singer Lyndsey Gunnelfsen, or Lynn Gunn. Gunn’s
song writing was mostly inspired by her
ex-girlfriend, Sam San Roman, detailing their
long-distance relationship with songs like “Eyelids,”
which at the end actually has a voice recording
from Sam. It was actually a voicemail left for Lynn
after she fell asleep, and the voicemail says, “I
mean, in what world do I go to sleep after you and
wake up before you? I don’t even know how it
happens! Well, I hope you’re having sweet dreams,
and you call me when you wake up.”

Vices & Virtues-Panic! At The Disco (2011) Of course, there are other albums that are
​Vices and Virtues is the third studio album from amazing from start to finish, but these are most
definitely my top 5. What are yours?
Panic! At The Disco. (No, you can’t forget the
exclamation point.) People were surprised that
Panic! had even even stayed a band, when after
their second album, “Pretty. Odd.” the band was left
to two members, Spencer Smith, (Drums) and
Brendon Urie (Lead singer). “Memories” tells the
story of young love, and how “you can’t predict the
end,” with “the end” being the death of the couple.
