i agree so much.

 

i guess i just get greedy sometimes when it comes to paramore since they are truly the first band i've been this in love with

yea im the same way with you two. i loved the days when it was me and my brother up front and no real struggle to stay there and just chillin with them after the show and bein able to hang for the night. oh well. times are changing.

at my store after two days of sales we have breakin benjamin on top and paramore second.

mariah carey is like 5th for the week, so that is definitely a good thing. we sell more rock than pop in our store tho.

imho. they should just play every song theyve ever made in chron. order.

lol, wouldnt that be lovely.

hmmm, i do hope hayley gets better tho. i know i had a show get postponed a month when her voice had issues back in 06. im sure shell recover just fine. glad the band still came out and did their thing. such good fellows

very pretty ashley. nice work.

He's really not. I don't get why they did that... And Craig isn't holdin' up to well, from the looks of his last tweet.

did the band have any reasoning?

Stupidest decision of that bands life.

seriously he is not replaceable!

Ah come on cheer up it was just a joke

oh im cheerful. i lol'd

good work

wow. i almost believed it.

unfortunately i love i see stars who everyone compares to attack attack. whatever.

I never said I like the albums in total, I like parts of them i.e. odd songs/lyrics. I take what I want from the song and take them for what they are, glorified pop songs.

 

 

You managed to listen to any of the bonus tracks? Is Ether any good?

 

 

Liar

Im not entirely sure on the bonus tracks? how many tracks on the regular full-length, cuz i got 13 with the leak i found. not sure if thats the full length, with bonus tracks or if its just the regular tracks. i think its really top heavy...the new album. 1-5 are outstanding and then it is just kinda whatever. once again they released the worst song on the album as the single (medicate on cl and miss murder on du).

and as for the paramore album being better...ehem, yea it is. as for paramore being a better band...not yet. but i can definitely see it happening at some point in the next decade.

ill be interested in hearing the b-sides if i dont have them already considering the b-sides for the last 3 albums were all outstanding. i thought the two for sts were just as good as the album and that is a top 5 album of all-time. impressive.

ps, i got into an argument at work today about the best writers in music. i was arguing davey and she was arguing elliot smith. how cliche? i think my argument exceeded hers without a doubt.

To be fair I was just curious to find out what you wanted from the band and not what you thought of the album

haha and if they kept doing sorta the same thing, just different songs id be happy. they should have changed the name of their band if they were gonna get all different and shitty.

i hate ppl that say they hate bands that have all their songs sounding the same but then like bands like the foo fighters...the way i see it, if you like a song by the foo fighters, you will more than likely like all songs by them. same goes for a lot of bands. thats kind of the point of being a band. yea, you want to progress and become more technical and grow...but dont completely change the whole layout of the band and what kind of music you play. if youre gonna do that, start a new band. paramore will always sound like paramore, and if they ever do what no doubt did, ill probably hate em forever no matter how much i love em now. dont do that crap, its dumb to me.

haha.

so you like the last two albums which are more "childlike" but not this one? seriously you confuse me. im not questioning your "fanhood" just saying im mad confused as to how you liked them before, but not now...and your reasoning is they are too childish?? haha.

back to afi. the first half seems to be 80's feel, and the 2nd half seems to have more of the punk element from back in the day. not sure how i feel about that setup, but i do like the album alot.

still not as good as paramore tho =]

Okay, this is more wordy than I had planned...

 

I don't have a favorite yet cause I've only listened to it once through (and yes, I opened the box set like a 5-year-old on Christmas and showed all the contents to my grandma... shut up!), but for once, I can actually hear the band's influences. They've always named influences like Jimmy Eat World, Death Cab, John Mayer, etc, but the first two albums were either too raw or too poppy, and I always knew those were the bands that inspired them, but I could never hear it. Now I do, and to me, this represents them for exactly who they are. Don't get me wrong... AWKIF and Riot! are great albums too, but brand new eyes (cause that's how it's supposed to be stylized) just feels more like I understand them as people now.

 

I was pleasantly surprised by "Playing God," which I thought, based on other people's reviews, was going to be a huge disappointment. Everybody saw those harsh lyrics and expected it to be really loud and angry. Yes, it's about frustration, but it's more confused frustration like Hayley honestly just doesn't understand what's going on. In that case, the music fits a lot better. As soon as I got through the first verse, I literally said, "Oh! I get it!" I really liked this one.

 

Others that really stood out to me: All I Wanted, Misguided Ghosts, Careful, and Turn It Off. Brick By Boring Brick is still among my favorites too. I just remember reading some of the lyrics when Hayley wasn't sure what she thought about them and showed them to a few of us in the fan club chat one night and liking the concept but not getting how it would make sense musically. Then when they played it at Unplugged in June, everything clicked, and I've loved it ever since.

 

Overall, I'm very pleased with the album.

all the same favorites as me. well put

14 something...i think 1468? idk?

theres really 150k? cool.

yeah, some people on here have said some crappy things about brand new eyes and no one has said anything....xD and it's a Paramore forum. lol

ive been talking it up all along, i dont know what youre talking about. i just hate new brand new...haha that sounds funny.

but i love brand new eyes. anything paramore does is awesome.

blouses

I thought most of the album was solid unlike BNE which had too many weak lyrics, poor vocals and overly simplistic guitar sections.....it was flawed and i'll be honest I didn't like a single track on it and it makes me cringe when I hear it and it's probably one of the worse album i've heard this year......but like you said it's all opinions so it's all good. Nice to debate music

when it comes to overall musical talent, afi and paramore are neither unbelievably talented. at least they do not show it in the albums they put out. i think adam is an amazing drummer, but it would take about a week to learn an entire album of theirs, cuz he doesnt really show it in the albums, so you definitely cant argue the simplicity of it versus the other.

and in comparison to the last two albums, hayleys vocals have got way better, so why are you even on these boards? lol. i dont say that to be an ass, im just curious cuz she has gotten better since 05. and the guitars and drums and bass lines have all gotten more complex and less poppy as well. so where is the complaint?? i guess im just a little confused as to what you are seeing, or listening to at least.

the afi album is nowhere near bsits, sts, aod or even du which ranks about 4th. id even say its a step below very proud of ya, but i dig that cd alot still. whatever.

just answer me the talent difference...obviously davey is the best writer of all-time(not sarcastic here, he truly is), but other than that what is more simple about paramore when comparing to afi...especially in the new albums?

and i agree...debating music is fun. =]

to answer the last two... no and no.

you guys take opinions way too seriously, like i should be murdered for having such a negative one? did we change the meaning of treason or what?

i cant help that the last two albums make me feel awful about music as a whole. nothing i can do but complain about how it makes me feel lol. dont get all OMG over it. not really that big of a deal.

Think he meant Fainting Spells

 

Negative it's a solid album and doesn't have as many negatives as BNE.

i dont think bne has any negatives. called an opinion. afi has three outstanding tracks and the rest are solid afi...not as good as the paramore album which is more than solid.

this coming from someone who has loved afi for over 10 years.

decade would take a couple months....

so for the year:

paramore: bne

devil wears: with roots

used: artwork

asking alexandria: stand up and scream

i see stars: 3D

broadway: kingdoms

sounds: crossing the rubicon

adtr: homesick

afi: crashlove

muse: the resistance

dear hunter: act 3 - life and death

set your goals: the death of us all

they said they become a completely new band after YFW/Deja..

he said when he listening to his old records he see a younger image of himself.

Lets just accept their sound now . I like it . The Devil and... is the best album imo .

i cant accept it if im too busy vomiting.

just sayin
