Here's my take on what Paramore has recorded so far since the Farros left.
In The Mourning - To be blunt, I don't like it. Not at all. However I don't really see this as an indication of what the band is going to be like without the Farros. Why not? Simply because I don't think it was a song they were ever intending to release as an official Paramore song. I think Hayley even said it was just something she wrote for fun. The only reason I think it ended up being released is because there was a huge amount of fan support for it after the video of Hayley and Taylor playing it was posted. D-
Hello Cold World - I don't really like to judge songs based on 30 second clips, but from that clip it sounds only OK. To poppy for my taste personally. If it was on an album I bought, I might listen to it every now and then, but I would really have to be in the mood for it. I would never buy an album full of these types of songs though. Although that opinion may change once I hear the full song, like I said it's hard to judge from such a short clip C-
Monster - Love it. It quickly became my favourite Paramore song when it first came out, and while that has worn off a little since then, I'd still rank it in my top 5. A
Renegade - I really liked this when it first came out, and it has only grown on me even more since then. It's been almost a month and I still often find myself playing this song over and over again on repeat. That doesn't happen with me very often. I think I have to make it official, this is now my favourite Paramore song. A+
So, 2 songs I don't really like, but 2 songs that I like as much as or more than anything they had released before. And the 2 songs I don't really like are both songs that I honestly don't think they would have normally included on an album. All in all, I'm pleased with what they have done. I just hope their album is more like Monster & Renegade, and not so much like In The Mourning & Hello Cold World.
