STORY SYNOPSIS: Across seven albums, Twenty One Pilots invite listeners into Dema—a city watched over by a group of leaders called the bishops. At the heart of it all is Clancy, who begins to question their rules and search for a life beyond the walls. The band uses lyrics, artwork, and hidden clues to tell a story about courage, creativity, and holding onto hope when the odds feel stacked against you. It’s a puzzle and an adventure rolled into one, with plenty for fans of all ages to discover.

MATURITY RATING, OTHER COMMENTS: Overall Story: G, Individual Songs: G (except “Never Forgive, Never Forget” - has one curse word in it.) Really awesome concept by a great group. There’s no linear story that goes along with it, so you can shuffle this one (though I don’t recommend it since it is put in a specific order for a reason.)
