Shortly after the band announced Chris' departure, they announced a show where they would play with Josh Dun for the first time. There are some inconsistencies about this topic due to the fact that Josh Dun in an interview mentioned his first show with the band at a street performance on May 6, 2011, but most likely meant that Josh attended it, he did not play as a drummer, because May 13, 2011 was the date of the first official show with Josh Dun announced by the band on May 8, 2011 on social medias.

In 2010, ''Joseph'' again starts to work a lot on new music at home or with the band in their studio. Thus, in March - April 2010, [[Slowtown]] and [[Car Radio]] were recorded. It's suspected that the video from [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEFzBielBjE&t=1s Live Highlights] is a recording studio for, but not limited to, these songs. Eventually the band decided that recording live instruments is overly complicated and they will do all new material on a MacBook. From this point on, almost all new music was written only by ''Joseph'' himself.

	By the end of 2010 in August-September, ''~~Tyler~~ Joseph'' was imagining and recording a song that he had dreamed of. It became one of the strangest and most unusual song in terms of structure. The song was nameless for a while, and according to Tyler's commentary in [[Vessel (Commentary Version)]], with the help of fans, the name of the song was found - [[Ode To Sleep]].
