A strong influence on the sound of the album was Chris Salih, because he had more experience with equipment and production than anyone else in the band, because at that time Chris worked in a music center where he got quite a lot of equipment and experience. At that time Tyler Joseph did not have much experience in professional music recording, which can be seen in the band's second album [[Regional at Best]], but musically Tyler was the main composer of the album, he would record music at home on his laptop and then with the band they would improve and develop them, electric drums that don't mimic acoustic sounds, synthesizers and pianos were designed by him. Most of the lyrics were written by Tyler too, bass and drums were not recorded live, Chris' drumming triggered into the software EZ Drummer to make the sound of the album as good as possible, because the band lacked the ability to record acoustic parts using microphones.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/twentyonepilots/comments/164mb2j/what_songs_each_member_perform_on_self_titled/</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHz0pdRdVHA&t=1s</ref>
