Transcription

Background and production

Tyler Joseph met Chris Salih at a party during his time at Ohio State University, who offered to play music with Joseph. They formed the band with Salih playing drums. Later, Thomas was invited by Joseph to join the band as a bassist. In 2009, the group moved into a house of their own and started working on their first album. Joseph was primarily in charge of the songwriting with input provided by other band members. The album was recorded in the basement studio. Due to the low budget for making the album, instead of recording real instrumentals, most of the drum beats were programed with computer software.[2][3]

The album cover art was designed by John Rettstatt, a friend of Joseph.[4]

Release and sales

The album was released in December 2009. After the release, the band began touring Ohio. Their initial marketing was grassroots; Joseph's mother would stand outside of Ohio State University, giving away tickets to their shows.[5] During this time, the band participated in various "Battle of the Band" contests at The Alrosa Villa and The Basement, important Columbus music venues.[6][7]

The album debuted on the US Billboard 200 in January 2016,[8] months after the band's 2015 album Blurryface was released, peaking at No. 139 on the chart in January 2017.[9] According to Billboard's data in July 2016, the album had sold 115,000 copies.[10]

The band retained ownership of the album after signing with label Fueled by Ramen in 2012, and continues to make it available for digital sale and streaming.[11]

Reception

Despite ranking as the lowest of the band's albums in a list for Kerrang!, Emily Carter considered that "the quality of the songwriting here is already superb", praising Joseph's lyrics, and concluded that "these aren't chart-topping bangers, sure, but the impact of these songs cannot be understated".[12] Maria Sherman of Fuse praised Joseph's "speak-singing" and the "beautiful piano arrangements" on the album, though criticized his enunciation while rapping.[13] Alternative Press described "Addict with a Pen" as "slow, spare, and nakedly honest" and "the best representation of what initially drew fans to the band".[14]
