look into their early work such as regional at best or their self titled album on iTunes. those songs have deep meanings lyrically as well as their recent albums. Tyler Joseph has an amazing voice watch the video on YouTube of his cover of I can't help falling in love. please do your research before you make a whole podcast bashing on them. I think they are doing amazing things by giving a different message to teens instead of the other crap on the radio. He has said before he wouldn't call what he does rapping. he's a poet and has a lot to say to fit in a song. it's really rude and not your place to say that he is basic and a bad lyricist because those are actual struggles he went through and a lot of people connect with, how can you criticize someone's actual struggles. try reading the lyrics to screen, forest, kitchen sink, and fall away. also watch a couple of their interviews with face culture on YouTube, get to know these guys; their real. just like their music.
but like Tyler's said these songs are for the few, the proud, and the emotional. only few will understand.
