Clancy: the perfect album cover (twenty one pilots analysis)

The clancy album cover.
Upon its first official release, it became one of the most divisive things in the clique since the release of sai. An album cover is our insight into the aesthetics and sound of the era; an era that promised so much was, many people at the time argued, given an album cover that delivered so little.
Now that our first three singles have been released, we know what to expect for this coming era, and, when applying what we now know to the album cover, clancy’s design may be more perfect for this era - and the end to our story - than anyone initially thought.
songs used:
webseries demo 002 (classic),
anathema,
slowtown,
clear

To be honest, for a while now I have been forming my private theory that the representation of Josh that accompanies Tyler in, to name a few, The Outside, Heathens or HDS is not real, and it's more of a counter-blurry. It's a representation of strength, confidence and encouragement that Tyler himself is lacking, so he pictures it as Josh guiding him. Like the boy in My Blood creating an older brother. So Josh's face being very blurry and faded, to me, somewhat symbolises that he is not exactly real, and that he fades as Tyler gains his own confidence, and thus the need for that mental imagery of a guide diminishes.

I spent a lot of time making similar arguments over on reddit when the cover was first leaked; at the time we didn't have any context (music and aesthetics wise) for the cover, the boys wouldn't have picked it if it wasn't going to fit the album etc. You, however, have pointed out *so* many more details than I ever noticed. Seriously, great job, I loved your analysis!

New album cover was not aesthetically captivating for me at first. But now that you described its secrets, it definitely has become more interesting. I knew that our boys are almost never straightforward with album covers but I haven't noticed it hides so many things and combines every era in one cover. That is indeed kind of brilliant. Well... it's twenty one pilots - must be brilliant

Cool detail, if you invert the colors of the cover they are two different shades of blue which is the symbol of defeat. It could be continuing the narrative of cycles. Don’t know if that’s intentional, just a cool detail.

Something sort of related, but unrelated, but also related to what's going on in the Dema story; I was watching the guns for hands video a while back, and noticed that the band symbol on Josh's drum was red, black, and blue. It never really made sense to me how Vessel was tied into the lore, as it had no real lore references. But the symbol on Josh's drum was partly the red of the bishops, the blue of the neon, and the black Tyler would eventually paint his hands and neck. Makes me wonder if even back then, we were getting small hints and clues of what was to come.

Vignette: a brief evocative description, account, or episode (obv works for this story); but it also can mean: a portrait photograph which fades into the background without a definite border. I was wondering if this had something to do with the blurry images (particularly Josh). Thoughts? Nice video. I definitely did not like the cover at first. It's growing on me. But I also think that anything they do will always grow on me because of the respect I have for their creativity and artistry... so either way I would have ended up liking it on some level. Your video helped change my mind a bit though. As always, well done.

Whole 1st half I was thinking to myself "yes I agree that can represent that, but street; punk; rebellion (whatever label you want to give it) can look really good & this doesn't"" Then Slowtown started playing & I calmed down. I have certainly gotten used to the Clancy artwork, but however still think it could look much better within the intended style.

Slowtown really does have that effect on people huh I've said this in another comment, but I think it's extremely valid to not like the album cover. I remember initially really disliking the trench album cover but I got used to it over time. I just wanted to make this video specifically to tackle comments of there being a disconnect with the album cover and the actual content the pilots are producing this era; it works for this era, even if it isn't pleasing to the eye

@@Good_Day_Dema It's my favorite of their's. I completly get the intention of the video. Thankfully 2 of the 3 songs have put me in a better place as for expectations for the album. I regret watching the Next Semester video before hearing the audio on it's own, because to me the song doesn't lean into the gritty grunge vibe enough & it would have been perfect for the album concept.

I understand that it's not everyone's cup of tea, although I don't think 'artistic value' is just defined by it looking aesthetically pleasing, otherwise there are a lot of pieces of art in the art world that should not have artistic value as well. I guess it's just a situation of beauty is in the eye of the beholder? I still know a lot of people aren't sure about the cover after this, I just wanted to analyse why it worked for the era as some were saying it has a complete disconnect with the era itself.

@@Good_Day_Dema pretty much only the die hard fans will find that it is an interesting part of the lore context and symbolism, which i find is respectable. Otherwise, its really not that deep and its just an album cover that looks like it was made in a day.
