I generally love this community but posts like that show how impossible it is to critize the band, even in the SLIGHTEST way. No matter what song you mention here you're going to get down voted to hell because the majority of people here can't take constructive criticism. It's really sad tbh, y'all should start growing up and respect other people's opinions, especially when they're formulated in a neutral or respectful manner
twenty one pilots as a “thing” to me is nostalgic because i listened to them so much with my sister during the blurryface era. that being said, as i grew up and diversified my music preferences i started to really become critical of almost everything they’ve done. i think their discography overall is incredibly mediocre outside of trench, and things like RAB and blurryface are just straight ass.
i still listen tho cause i know it all and it brings me peace
damn people, take some criticism lol. no need to downvote here, sorry your favorite song isnt someone else's
personally i'll have to go with the RAB version of trees. just insanely unlistenable to every degree, while the vessel version is one of the best songs the band has ever made. formidable is also a contender for me due to just not being into the melodies n such. its good and is catchy but man any other S&I song will hit just fine for me lol
also for the record, before you start your day is great imo, all of Self Titled is fantastic with no misses in sight
i mean there’s definitely some songs i don’t like as much as others, but there’s no song i dislike🤷🏻♀️ which is rare for me, idk what it is about the way they do music, no matter what style they switch to it just hits my ears so right; all these comments saying ppl need to “grow up” for not being able to “criticize the band” is nuts, i keep seeing so much hypocrisy from the clique on reddit and it makes me sad tbh. so what if someone thinks all their songs are “perfect” that’s their music taste and their opinion
Understandable. It's a fun song to add to a Chrsitmas playlist, but it's nothing special. I actually just enjoy the video. The old style claymation with TØP references just makes me happy.
Cancer. Not because it's a bad song, but because it's the only song that makes me feel worse when I listen to it. All the other songs give me strength, hope, and happiness.
Still a 10/10 cover IMO, just not my vibe.
Definitely. And as a certified MCR-Not fan (though I used to LOVE 3 cheers), I listened to this before the original, so I for sure have a different connection and view.
MCR fan here too, it’s not even a favorite of mine of MCRs, and I also don’t listen to the original MCR Cancer because it’s so slow and depressing.
TOPs version I just don’t listen to because I don’t like it 🥴
I probably would if I didn’t know the original version, but it still wouldn’t be a favorite
I would say trees from RAB, but A: it’s not on Spotify and B: they obviously remade it for vessel and it’s one of their best.
I think I’m gonna have to go with Before you start your day. It’s probably the only twenty one pilots song I would say I don’t like. I also dislike house of gold but I can see why people enjoy that song
I’ve always loved before you start your day. It feels like the sky is opening up and lifting me into it, and it’s right in between two of their best songs. That album is so good <3
I do not care for Fairly Local.
"Yo, this song will never be on the radio
Even if my clique were to pick and the people were to vote
It's the few, the proud, and the emotional
Yo, you, bulletproof, in black like a funeral
The world around us is burning but we're so cold
It's the few, the proud, and the emotional"
That line is actually pretty good though I think. It shows that people a lot of the time will try to be like “oh yeah well I grew up worse”.
But if you don’t use lyrical analysis, yeah that line is cringey.
Yeah but it undoubtedly comes off as out of touch when you know anything about what it’s like living in urban poverty. While I’m sure Tyler has had some demons and struggles, it’s really nothing compared to growing up in places surrounded by violence and relying on food stamps for your next meal. Just a poor taste comparison on his part imo
I don’t think it’s meant to be a comparison though.
If you have that mindset it will look like a bad lyric. I do agree though, poverty is awful.
The point I think he was trying to make is that people can struggle in many different ways and all struggles should be accepted.
We shouldn’t be saying “oh this is worse. I’ve gone through worse than you”. and so I think tyler’s response to that is “I wasn’t raised in the hood but I know a thing or two about pain and darkness”.
This is also the only way I can enjoy that lyric
I get that interpretation too but what I’m trying to say is yeah sometimes some DO have it worse than others and it can be offensive to say that the situations are equally as painful when they’re far from it.
I kinda compare it to how people will compare any political policy or event they don’t like to the Holocaust or 9/11. Sometimes, saying those one of those things isn’t worse than the other is just kinda tasteless.
As a kid who grew up in poverty and had days where we couldn’t get our EBT and had to share beds with one of my siblings for the first half of my childhood and occasionally had to steal food just to stop the hunger, these lines just irk me wrong knowing Tyler came from a fairly affluent family.
Yeah, I for sure agree with that though. That holocaust line, as a jew myself with family who went through it, resonates a lot.
But, I will say, suicide (thoughts) is a really bad issue. And it’s less of saying that they are equal, than saying that they matter too.
I only think that’s true for BF though. Honestly, they’ve grown in songwriting, but Self Titled and Vessel have BYFAR the best and most creative lyric writing.
Like you could analysize Selftitled’s lyrics for hours and you’d still be entertained (I’ve done this).
The new lyrics are kind of lame a lot of the time, in the lack of depth.
They are good, just lacking depth.
I was thinking about this depth issue. It feels to me that the band is actually going for more depth at times to say more with less lyrics, and letting the song style and delivery do the communicating. Some older songs felt like they had a lot to say to get things off their chest, but trench and this new album feel even more impactful to me with fewer words
100% I’m happy with the direction they’re going. this might be a little controversial but if they released a song like “migraine” today I don’t think I would like it. Dont get me wrong, I love migraine but the lyrics and sound just seem a bit outdated. this goes for a lot of their other songs too. Very early 2010s sounding
Migraine is one of my favourite songs of theirs ever. I agree though. But that’s not necessarily because of the sound. I don’t care about outdated sounds. I think doing that kind of stuff is awesome. Throwing it back.
However, they’ve already done it. And with that said, it wouldn’t be the same. Migraine was written when they were still, though not legally, mentally children. Not to take away from it. Kids make incredible things. Some of the most creative things. That is to say that I don’t know if they could do it to that extent again. They aren’t kids anymore. Not even below 25, which is what I was saying. So their songs should grow up with them.
I can see that, but personally, I think that the more meaningful words are more impactful to me personally.
All of the early songs were written first as poems and then turned into lyrics, which is amazing. You can enjoy the lyrics as just poems, or with the music. The new lyrics really need the songs. Which is fine, but not special. They used to be doing a very special and creative thing. Very unique for their.. type of music especially. The only other artists I can think of like that are Tom Waits, and Dawes. Though, there are definitely more. It’s not very many.
I respect that, they used to say a lot more in their older songs. But personally think the lyrics were a bit more on your face and were more like talks about a certain subject and that nowadays they are able to create mpre layered lyrics, even if their true meaning end up being a bit foggy.
But that's just me, I really enjoy the more cryptic side of lyricwriting.
why? i don’t mean that offensively either, i’m genuinely curious. i admit before you start your day isn’t necessarily a favorite for me but that’s because for me it’s so devastating and soul crushing and heavy to me, i don’t necessarily put sad songs as my favorites because crying isn’t my favorite thing to do lol.
I’ve been a fan for 10 years (seeing them for the 4th time in October!) but the one song I can’t stand by them is Never Take It. It just doesn’t sound like them and I get the message but it feels a little too performative if you will
Can I ask what you don’t like about it? I end up listening to it way less because it’s not in my album rotation. But when I do, I’m pleasantly surprised.
I don't know, maybe the effects in the voice, the very acute voice or the chorus I can't really tell why but the only part I really like is the "watch it" with the drop in the base
I remember watching it when it came out when I was like 12 or 13, purely because they had a song in it, and it ended up just being in the credits or something and I was livid LOL
Taco Bell Saga. Funny to listen to when you first find it as a newer fan, funny for a week then it gets put in the brain safe until one is reminded of it’s existence
You should check out the genius page. It’s really interesting. The lyrics are much more than they seem. It’s a reference to shakespeare and the bible, and the idea of a pantaloon as a character in a certain genre of books from the 16th century. A “Harlequinade”. it’s so cooool. Really redeems the song
[https://genius.com/Twenty-one-pilots-the-pantaloon-lyrics](https://genius.com/Twenty-one-pilots-the-pantaloon-lyrics)
Twenty One Pilots is sort of like Lemon Demon, where you don't really "hate" a song or think one is "the worst". If I had to pick one, I'm tied between Fairly Local, Hometown, and Polarize. Don't get me wrong, Blurryface is what got me into TØP is the first place, but a large majority of the songs are pretty mid on that album. The production and quality went from 0-100 with Trench, probably because of the popularity and success of Blurryface.
I like bounce man more than Before You Start Your Day and Fairly Local. Fairly Local is just cringy and something about opening the slits in your face doesn't sit well with me.
There’s two TOP songs I really just can’t stand
One is before you start your day, I don’t have much to say about it I just don’t like it and that’s fine, it’s off their first album and everyone is allowed duds
The second one is Christmas saves the year, I genuinely don’t know what they where thinking putting this out there, it got off to a hard start to begin with coz I don’t like Christmas music but holy hell I can’t find anything I like about that song.
I don't actually know. A lot of people don't like Bounceman, but I love it.
I suppose I'll go with Legend, not because I hate it no, but because it reminds me of my own grandfather and everytime I hear it I just burst into tears.
I struggle to find a song simply because the only songs I don't like is Stressed out and Heathens. But I feel bad saying that cuz I feel like it's so ""pick me"" to not like their most popular songs. But I also work in retail and have for the last 4 years consistently so I hear Stressed out at least 4 times a day. Heathens just sounds like it was not written or put together by them, although I know it was but it's very obvious it was for a movie and not any albums so it just feels like a weird outlier to me. 🤷🏽
Excluding their non-record label albums
I would say Neon Gravestones, complete mush and nothing catchy at all. It’s not bad, it’s not like it’s something I wouldn’t listen to, but there is no redeeming qualities.
But that’s a high bar for the worst song
good day actually turned me off listening to sai for 3 years
I genuienly listened to it first time last week and it stuck out as being genuinely awful
it sounds like a "welcome to our town" musical opener in the worst way possible
I like this song, but it reminds me of the whole pandemic situation. The loneliness, worries, panic attacks and the good things that happened (like the closeness to online friends and the lost pressure to function (since the world was standing still)). It was a fantastic song to that time, it sounded careless and it was catching. But damn, I get war flashbacks and my chest feels heavy🥲 sadly
Trees RAB
But if we don’t acknowledge it because it got a remake in Vessel and it’s great now, I’d say (and I’m sorry in advance) Goner. The production isn’t amazing, and at least for me the song lacks meaning. Maybe it’s meaningful to you, and that’s cool. I don’t hate the song but I do usually skip it.
i’m not a huge fan of some of the Trench tracks and ik that’s like ppls fav album but idk. smithereens and cut my lip are just kinda no up there for me. i’m not saying i hate the songs but compared to the rest of their discography they’re just not the best
Yeah, I agree. It’s just not it. It’s okay if it plays in the background as a part of their whole discography; but I would never choose to listen to this song and probably also skip it when I’m actively listening to music

For me it's just kinda boring, it does have a cozy vibe, but compared to others sobgs on self-titled it's not as interesting and I rarely listen to it out of the context of the album.
TOP aside, I’m trying to figure out what song off We Are Not Your Kind they thought was Slipknot’s worst out of everything they’ve released
Edit: It was “My Pain” and I kinda understand now
I realize there's a weird divide in time where blurryface is now considered cringe but the music before that has good nostalgia. But RAB's Car Radio has no "oomf", it's pretty bland. Vessel one is better
Reading comments just made me feel scared to say it but, Saturday is their worst if you have to put it that way, not a horrible song but their worst when it comes to ranking.
I generally love this community but posts like that show how impossible it is to critize the band, even in the SLIGHTEST way.

It's really sad tbh, y'all should start growing up and respect other people's opinions, especially when they're formulated in a neutral or respectful manner
yeah, like, I really don't think TOP's worst song is "still a 10/10" lmao
Exactly, you should be able to criticise an artist you like and not just blindly follow and love absolutely everything they do.
More ppl need to hear this, I absolutely love TØP but not all their songs are good, and this goes for all bands
twenty one pilots as a “thing” to me is nostalgic because i listened to them so much with my sister during the blurryface era. that being said, as i grew up and diversified my music preferences i started to really become critical of almost everything they’ve done. i think their discography overall is incredibly mediocre outside of trench, and things like RAB and blurryface are just straight ass. i still listen tho cause i know it all and it brings me peace

I’d also add that any of the Vessel songs on RAB are just worse imo. House of Gold is borderline awful in that album.
Same goes for Car Radio .. the Vessel version just feels a lot more urgent, the RAB version doesn't do much for me despite the amazing lyrics
I agree with one exception. Ode To Sleep is better on RAB
Lmao right 😂
I completely agree with you. RAB Trees sounds like Tyler swallowed a harmonica to me lol
My least favourite song is Trees… but the Vessel version.
You've asked the wrong fanbase. Everyone here will say "aLl tHeIR soNGs aRe peRFecT"
i mean there’s definitely some songs i don’t like as much as others, but there’s no song i dislike🤷🏻♀️ which is rare for me, idk what it is about the way they do music, no matter what style they switch to it just hits my ears so right; all these comments saying ppl need to “grow up” for not being able to “criticize the band” is nuts, i keep seeing so much hypocrisy from the clique on reddit and it makes me sad tbh. so what if someone thinks all their songs are “perfect” that’s their music taste and their opinion
The vast majority of people here are freely expressing songs they don't like idk what you're on about
May not be a popular opinion, but Christmas saves the year just didn't do it for me.
Understandable. It's a fun song to add to a Chrsitmas playlist, but it's nothing special. I actually just enjoy the video. The old style claymation with TØP references just makes me happy.
Cancer. Not because it's a bad song, but because it's the only song that makes me feel worse when I listen to it. All the other songs give me strength, hope, and happiness. Still a 10/10 cover IMO, just not my vibe.
Cancer is so depressing. I listened to it for the first time in years a couple days ago. So sad.
Does that even count? It’s a cover.
Forgot about this guy… as an mcr fan it offends me. And tøp is my favorite band
I think it’s sick because it’s not as much of a cover, as it is a recreation. Which I think is soooo cool.
Very accurate! One of the best covers I've seen a band release, specifically for this reason.
Definitely a cool concept! A shame that I feel they butchered the song
Definitely. And as a certified MCR-Not fan (though I used to LOVE 3 cheers), I listened to this before the original, so I for sure have a different connection and view.
I'm also an MCR fan! I like the MCR version more, which probably also contributes to why I chose this song as worst song.
MCR fan here too, it’s not even a favorite of mine of MCRs, and I also don’t listen to the original MCR Cancer because it’s so slow and depressing. TOPs version I just don’t listen to because I don’t like it 🥴 I probably would if I didn’t know the original version, but it still wouldn’t be a favorite
Dude when I’m not quite depressed, but not quite happy the song goes so hard. Every other time it is hard to listen to because I just will cry
That is the one song that I cannot bring myself to listen to anymore. It's too painful.
I would say trees from RAB, but A: it’s not on Spotify and B: they obviously remade it for vessel and it’s one of their best. I think I’m gonna have to go with Before you start your day. It’s probably the only twenty one pilots song I would say I don’t like. I also dislike house of gold but I can see why people enjoy that song
Before You Start Your Day is my 2nd least favourite TØP song.
What’s your first?
Trees, the Vessel version
“open the slits in your face and start your day” i couldn’t understand that he was talking about your eyes without looking it up 😂😂
I’ve always loved before you start your day. It feels like the sky is opening up and lifting me into it, and it’s right in between two of their best songs. That album is so good <3
ikr i love that song why do so many people hate it and yes self titled is goated
Real, I love every song on there… apart from the one I mentioned
I do not care for Fairly Local. "Yo, this song will never be on the radio Even if my clique were to pick and the people were to vote It's the few, the proud, and the emotional Yo, you, bulletproof, in black like a funeral The world around us is burning but we're so cold It's the few, the proud, and the emotional"
This and lane boy’s “I wasn’t raised in the hood” 😬
“But I know a thing or two about pain and DARKNESS” 💀
That line is actually pretty good though I think. It shows that people a lot of the time will try to be like “oh yeah well I grew up worse”. But if you don’t use lyrical analysis, yeah that line is cringey.
Yeah but it undoubtedly comes off as out of touch when you know anything about what it’s like living in urban poverty. While I’m sure Tyler has had some demons and struggles, it’s really nothing compared to growing up in places surrounded by violence and relying on food stamps for your next meal.

Gotta admit, some of the older lyrics can be a bit cringy nowadays. But it shows how they've grown in songwriting and lyricwriting.
I only think that’s true for BF though. Honestly, they’ve grown in songwriting, but Self Titled and Vessel have BYFAR the best and most creative lyric writing. Like you could analysize Selftitled’s lyrics for hours and you’d still be entertained (I’ve done this). The new lyrics are kind of lame a lot of the time, in the lack of depth.

I respect that, they used to say a lot more in their older songs. But personally think the lyrics were a bit more on your face and were more like talks about a certain subject and that nowadays they are able to create mpre layered lyrics, even if their true meaning end up being a bit foggy. But that's just me, I really enjoy the more cryptic side of lyricwriting.
Even to this day Tyler has some cringe lyrics, especially some songs on Clancy
BLESS YOUR EAR HOLES
Well, can't say I disagree. But I think they got less cheesy over time.
Definitely, but there's still some things that I heard from Clancy and I'm like okay you're 35
We don't talk about Lavish...
Trees RAB version pretty much unlistenable
I just discovered this song thanks to this post. It’s unlistenable but I find it hilarious in a way 😂 Both worst and most funny song from TOP imo
Before you start your day
why? i don’t mean that offensively either, i’m genuinely curious. i admit before you start your day isn’t necessarily a favorite for me but that’s because for me it’s so devastating and soul crushing and heavy to me, i don’t necessarily put sad songs as my favorites because crying isn’t my favorite thing to do lol.
People really don’t like that Tyler referred to eyes as slits. I think that’s the only reason.
I feel like that’s missing the point of the song, though. He very deliberately chose to refer to them as slits.
Yeah, and a lot of the community thinks that decision was cringe, idk what to tell ya
I can't stand Heathens. Don't know why but it's an insta skip for me now.
100% the other two songs from the overplayed era have grown on me a lot, after I hated them for years but heathens definitely still sucks lol
house of gold and we don’t care what’s on tv I SAID WHAT I SAID
I forgot about we don't care what's on TV.
The christmas song
Easily trees RAB but also a few more tracks from RAB would fit. The mixing just takes me away from what conceptually is a really good album.
Trees (RAB)
Doubt.. just doesn’t sound “right”, idk how to explain it
I heard someone sample a cat meow and play doubt with it. The song has not been the same since
omg i’m glad someone else said it i just said the same thing
Same. Too 2010s EDM pop for me
Yeah exactly!
I’ve been a fan for 10 years (seeing them for the 4th time in October!) but the one song I can’t stand by them is Never Take It. It just doesn’t sound like them and I get the message but it feels a little too performative if you will
I have to go with heathens
Can I ask what you don’t like about it? I end up listening to it way less because it’s not in my album rotation. But when I do, I’m pleasantly surprised.
I don't know, maybe the effects in the voice, the very acute voice or the chorus I can't really tell why but the only part I really like is the "watch it" with the drop in the base
That's definitely down there for me, possibly because of how terrible the movie was. It was the first superhero movie I didn't finish.
I remember watching it when it came out when I was like 12 or 13, purely because they had a song in it, and it ended up just being in the credits or something and I was livid LOL
unofficial , trees (rab) official , probably bounce man imo
you should bounce man
i gotta agree with you here
Taco Bell Saga. Funny to listen to when you first find it as a newer fan, funny for a week then it gets put in the brain safe until one is reminded of it’s existence
TB Saga II is better
RAB trees
I really went and let this thread hurt my feelings. Lmao
me finding some of my favorite songs in this thread.
The Pantaloon. Only tøp song I ever skip
“YOUR GRANDPA DIED 🗣️‼️‼️” “WHEN YOU WERE NINE 🤘🚫👴”
“THEY SAID HE HAD LOST HIS MIND 🧠🔥💯”
"YOU HAVE LEARNED WAY TOO SOON 👨🏫🚫⌚"
You should never trust a pantaloon.
You are tired!!!!
YOU ARE HURT!!!
A MOTH ATE THROUGH YOUR FAVORITE SHIRT!!!
Every time that plays I just skip it I'm not tryna hear that 😭😭😭
THEY SAY HE HAD LOST HIS MIND
You should check out the genius page. It’s really interesting. The lyrics are much more than they seem. It’s a reference to shakespeare and the bible, and the idea of a pantaloon as a character in a certain genre of books from the 16th century. A “Harlequinade”. it’s so cooool. Really redeems the song [https://genius.com/Twenty-one-pilots-the-pantaloon-lyrics](https://genius.com/Twenty-one-pilots-the-pantaloon-lyrics)
Oh wow. Thanks for sharing
I see where you're coming from. To me, the vocals and cadence of the first couple lines are unfortunate because I really enjoy the rest of that song.
I thoughts is one of RAB. All tøp songs are good actually Sorry about my english, i'm learning
You’re doing quite well. It’s not perfect but it IS readable.
Way better than readable. They’re doing great!👍
Before you start your day
Twenty One Pilots is sort of like Lemon Demon, where you don't really "hate" a song or think one is "the worst". If I had to pick one, I'm tied between Fairly Local, Hometown, and Polarize. Don't get me wrong, Blurryface is what got me into TØP is the first place, but a large majority of the songs are pretty mid on that album. The production and quality went from 0-100 with Trench, probably because of the popularity and success of Blurryface.
Yeah I would agree with the first sentence. I think they are all pretty great in their own way but some I just don't care as much about.
Most of the songs on SAI - really didn't do it for me, outside of a few.
Bounce Man? It’s not awful but it’s certainly not the best. Still a funish listen
bounce man is my favourite song from SAI 😔
I like bounce man more than Before You Start Your Day and Fairly Local. Fairly Local is just cringy and something about opening the slits in your face doesn't sit well with me.
I love bounce man personally, makes me bouncy and dancy lol but I'm also a SAI stan so yeah
The Pantaloon I’ve always disliked
I’m gonna get flamed for this but Oh Ms. Believer or Before You Start Your day They’re probably the most boring TØP songs
Cancer. Until I lost a parent to cancer, I was able to listen to it without any issues. Not anymore.
I feel you, lost my mom to cancer in december and i just can't.
Cancer is a song thats not by top. It was written by Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance). Top simply covered it.
I am aware of this. Yet it still hurts to listen to it, whether it be Twenty One Pilots or My Chemical Romance performing it.
Before you start your day
No this song is amazing and not the worst
Christmas saves the year is probably one of the most forgettable tøp songs honestly
Bounce man
There’s two TOP songs I really just can’t stand One is before you start your day, I don’t have much to say about it I just don’t like it and that’s fine, it’s off their first album and everyone is allowed duds The second one is Christmas saves the year, I genuinely don’t know what they where thinking putting this out there, it got off to a hard start to begin with coz I don’t like Christmas music but holy hell I can’t find anything I like about that song.
Omg I forgot about their Christmas song! Yeah it's okay but not that great
I think Never take it is by far the worst song they released. I always skip it when I listen to sai.
HEATHENS
Since RAB Trees is not on spotify I'll go with Bounce Man
the pantaloon
It hurts to try to find one but for me it’s Heathens
formidable
Formidable is in my top 5 lol
I love Formidable also.
what is your top 5?
I don't actually know. A lot of people don't like Bounceman, but I love it. I suppose I'll go with Legend, not because I hate it no, but because it reminds me of my own grandfather and everytime I hear it I just burst into tears.
pantaloon, and saturday, i’m sorry
Heathens, I never liked it
message man i just don’t like anything about this song
I struggle to find a song simply because the only songs I don't like is Stressed out and Heathens. But I feel bad saying that cuz I feel like it's so ""pick me"" to not like their most popular songs. But I also work in retail and have for the last 4 years consistently so I hear Stressed out at least 4 times a day. Heathens just sounds like it was not written or put together by them, although I know it was but it's very obvious it was for a movie and not any albums so it just feels like a weird outlier to me. 🤷🏽
Excluding their non-record label albums I would say Neon Gravestones, complete mush and nothing catchy at all. It’s not bad, it’s not like it’s something I wouldn’t listen to, but there is no redeeming qualities. But that’s a high bar for the worst song
saturday personally (ik its a basic response)
>!Lavish!< or Bounce Man
>!Lavish!< Is a contender for sure.
Statistically, I believe it’s Never Take It, and I agree
If we only look at released songs, Saturday wins by a huge margin
My fave song off SAI 🫣
Trees - Vessel
Hot take
Lavish
Can I say Glowing eyes?
No
good day actually turned me off listening to sai for 3 years I genuienly listened to it first time last week and it stuck out as being genuinely awful it sounds like a "welcome to our town" musical opener in the worst way possible
Level of concern
I like this song, but it reminds me of the whole pandemic situation. The loneliness, worries, panic attacks and the good things that happened (like the closeness to online friends and the lost pressure to function (since the world was standing still)). It was a fantastic song to that time, it sounded careless and it was catching. But damn, I get war flashbacks and my chest feels heavy🥲 sadly
Trees RAB But if we don’t acknowledge it because it got a remake in Vessel and it’s great now, I’d say (and I’m sorry in advance) Goner. The production isn’t amazing, and at least for me the song lacks meaning. Maybe it’s meaningful to you, and that’s cool. I don’t hate the song but I do usually skip it.
i’m not a huge fan of some of the Trench tracks and ik that’s like ppls fav album but idk. smithereens and cut my lip are just kinda no up there for me. i’m not saying i hate the songs but compared to the rest of their discography they’re just not the best
level of concern
i’m definitely getting downvoted but to me their worst song is doubt
Level of Concern - never really clicked with me
Formidable
Yeah, I agree. It’s just not it. It’s okay if it plays in the background as a part of their whole discography; but I would never choose to listen to this song and probably also skip it when I’m actively listening to music
Absolutely not
I agree. It's the most cringy of the Jenna songs, which is sad cause I love Tear in my heart and smithereens
It's about Josh

While I still do like it, Shy Away will probably always be my least favourite tøp song.
For me it’s never take it. It sounds a bit political to me and I personally don’t like politics in my songs, regardless of what side it’s on.
i agree i dont like that song

All of you saying before you start your day need to provide at least one specific reason you dislike it please.
For me it's just kinda boring, it does have a cozy vibe, but compared to others sobgs on self-titled it's not as interesting and I rarely listen to it out of the context of the album.
Rab house of gold or before you start your day
Regional at best Trees
I’d say Christmas saves the year. I’ve listened several times but it’s still not clicking.
The only insta-skip for me... Trees from RaB
The AutoOTUUuuUNe is ObNoOoxiOuUUsss it would be 100% without the autotune.
Fairly local, it didn't deserve to be a single, and has some of the cringiest lyrics that tyler has ever made
TOP aside, I’m trying to figure out what song off We Are Not Your Kind they thought was Slipknot’s worst out of everything they’ve released Edit: It was “My Pain” and I kinda understand now
Before you start your day is really not for me
house of gold ngl. only song i would skip without fail
Bounce man
Bounce man or never take it
Stressed out, really doesn't hold up anymore to their other songs.
Saturday, rest of the song is fine but the hook is so bad that it stains the whole track
Coconut sharks in the water. It's a joke song, so it's their worst in comparison to their rest.
I realize there's a weird divide in time where blurryface is now considered cringe but the music before that has good nostalgia. But RAB's Car Radio has no "oomf", it's pretty bland. Vessel one is better
Original Trees
heathens….
Bounce Man
i would definitely say bounce man. the lyrics and vocals are bleh and its just the most stereotyipical awful pop song i've ever heard
Scaled and icy
Personally, The Pantaloon and Bounce Man are their worst songs at D tier for me, but they’re not even bad songs
house of gold and rab trees
Reading comments just made me feel scared to say it but, Saturday is their worst if you have to put it that way, not a horrible song but their worst when it comes to ranking.
Bounce Man Bounce Man Bounce Man Bounce Man
Two.
