Vessel is the third studio album from American duo Twenty One Pilots which was released on January 8, 2013 through Fueled by Ramen. It is their first full-length release since being signed in 2012.[1][5]

In a fan-based interview, lead singer Tyler Joseph spoke on the meaning behind the album's name, saying that a vessel (our body) is an object carrying something far more important than the outer shell, and when we die, that is set free and lives on.[6]

Tracklist

All songs written and composed by Tyler Joseph[5] except "Holding on to You" (which was written with numerous co-writers).

The album is a mix of new tracks and tracks found on their previous self-released album, Regional at Best, as well as all of the Three Songs EP that preceded this release.
