Twenty One Pilots Release Sixth Studio Album ‘Scaled and Icy’
Twenty One Pilots released their sixth studio album, Scaled and Icy on May 21. The duo became fast friends over a decade ago and have now successfully released six albums together. Scaled and Icy is a follow-up album to Trench, which had been released in 2018. Vocalist Tyler Joseph and drummer Josh Dun come together again in an exciting way, delighting fans for New Music Friday.
Twenty One Pilots hit superstardom when their fifth studio album, Blurryface was released into the world on May 17, 2015. The album generated hits such as “Stressed Out” and “Heathens,” which had been featured in the DC Comics superhero film Suicide Squad. By 2017, the duo picked up their very first Grammy win for Best Pop Duo/Performance for “Stressed Out.” Blurryface had received the Top Rock Album at the Billboard Music Awards. The critically-acclaimed album also received the iHeartRadio Music Award for Alternative Rock Album of the Year. The album fused many genres of music together, such as hip hop, rock, pop, reggae, and indie.

After accumulating so much success over the years, the duo is now back at it again with Scaled and Icy. The album consists of eleven tracks, where fans have debated which song is the best. Scaled and Icy begins with the track “Good Day,” which has left fans feeling all of the emotions. Joseph sings, “Today’s a good day, never know, never know.” Life can be very unpredictable, but the song encourages listeners to find the good in each day.

Scaled and Icy also has fusions of hip-hop threaded into the album. By the time listeners get to the standout “No Chances,” fans begin to obsess over the wordplay and beat that Joseph and Dun effortlessly created.
