Blurryface and Other Such Music

Holy hot dang! The newest album from Twenty One Pilots, Blurryface, is now available! Of course, I didn't have the finances to pre-order one, but now I can get the disc from Target. And though I have the songs, I've yet to get the physical CD.
     At first I didn't like all the songs, but I've listened to the whole album and I love every single one. Fairly Local was one I didn't particularly like, but as it would pop up on shuffle, it grew on me. One song, Doubt, seemed kinda out there, but I also came to like that one as I heard it more. Honestly, all the songs are amazing and I've been listening to the album on repeat since I got it. The songs are still like their old ones, but fresh. They hold the same depth in meaning but are still new. I'm a pretty recent fan of Twenty One Pilots, but I have their albums Vessel and the one called Twenty One Pilots. I love their music and often listen to them on shuffle for long periods of time. Since I play the ukulele (more or less), I've learned a few of their songs since the singer, Tyler, plays the uke in some of the songs. On Blurryface, I've started to learn We Don't Believe What's On TV. Even though I cannot sing worth anything, I love to strum along with the music and just be able to play music I love. I also love the fact that the drummer, Josh, plays the trumpet for some of the new songs on Blurryface. I play the clarinet, but since the trumpet and clarinet are in the same key, I'll be able to play those songs, if I can ever find the sheet music.  If I could, I would try and learn how to play all their songs.
     I literally love their music so much, but have zero merch. I guess that's the down side of having no finances. I go on their website (http://store.twentyonepilots.com/) and look at the beautiful things, my cursor hovering over the order button, but never actually clicking. Alas, I am not able to purchase anything until I can get a job. The vinyl of Blurryface looks soooo pretty and beautiful and amazing but 1) I have no money (as I have iterated many times) and 2) I have no record player *yet*. Even the CD looks gorgeous and I want it. I would like a tee shirt and hoodie and iPod case and a snapback. I don't even wear hats, but I would get a Twenty One Pilots hat. I have so little band merch for someone who listens and lives music. In my wardrobe I have a Red Hot Chili Peppers shirt, an Eminem shirt, and a Bastille tee (which I embroidered my self, as you can see in a soon-to-be post; this will be the link once I post it); a pretty crude collection of band-wear.
     On the flip-flop, my disc collection is growing at an alarming rate, and I plan on posting a picture of all I own soon. The lil basket I have holding all that musical beauty is running out of room, so I'm gonna need a upgrade soon! I would also like to get a vinyl collection going, but again, my finances tell me to stick with CDs. I'm sure, one day in the great future, I will have my own place with an area for lovely records to be played and enough to afford all I can hold. I'm sure CDs will be out dated soon enough, as records are, but they will hold a special place in my heart, along with cassette tapes. Man, I love owning physical musics. Cassettes are aesthetically my favorite form of music.

     If you want, leave your opinions (hopefully positive ones) in the comments below and let me know what you think of the new album. Maybe drop your favorite song or other artists you may like, I don't know. Okay, let me know if this is the kind of stuff you all like to read! Thanks!
