Regional at Best

Regional At Best is twenty one pilots' sophomore album, with the first being their self-titled album. Several of the songs featured on the album were eventually re-recorded and released on their next album, Vessel, such as “Guns for Hands,” “Ode to Sleep,” and “House of Gold.”

The album was released independently on July 8th, 2011, and was their last self-released album before they were signed to Fueled by Ramen, the same record label that has signed bands such as Panic! at the Disco and Fall Out Boy. Once the band got signed in 2012, they lost rights to the album and it is no longer available to buy on iTunes or any online music distributor besides mp3 downloads, Pandora (radio only), and Deezer.

Regional At Best was discontinued in 2013 by the band’s record label, Fueled By Ramen. FBR’s reasoning is believed to be because some of the songs on this were re-recorded and released in the band’s 2013 album, Vessel. “Slowtown”, “Anathema”, “Ruby”, “Be Concerned”, and “Clear” are the only songs that didn’t get re-recorded and are exclusive to Regional at Best. The songs “Glowing Eyes”, “Forest”, “Kitchen Sink”, and “Lovely” appear as bonus tracks on various digital versions of Vessel.
