#1531 Twenty One Pilots - Vessel

I really want to like this: it's hooky, playful, sprightly, inventive...but
* emo whining
* very-white rapping
* middle-school margin confessionals

That's three damn strikes, leading to as many cringes as grins, and I'm not even dinging them for the cloying, thinly-veiled Christian angles. But as a combo-capper, the rapping is criminally amateur, falling into that more-rhymes is better nonsense like "And the window sill looks really nice, right? You think twice about your life, it probably happens at night" Huh? 2.5/5
