anyone know if there are still deluxe editions still out there? Highly unlikely, I know. Just wondering.

eBay. Expensive.

I don't like Looking Up that much.

I mean, I can't picture it on the radios.

People would be like 'Whaaaa?'

Nah, it would easily work on the radio. They play Ignorance on the most popular breakfast show in the UK, practically every day.

My Full review :3

United Kingdom: Brand New Eyes sold a staggering 23,500 copies on its first day of sale [september 28] and has already been certified Gold in the UK having shipped over 100,000 units.

Probably due to the huge amount of advertising they are doing for it. I watched TV for about two hours last night and saw the promo THREE TIMES.

^ wow i'm not talking about it anymore..this is ridiculous. i was just stating something. don't flip shit on me. i know everyone has judged someone at least ONCE in their life. it's impossible not to. chill the fuck out.

Im not "flipping shit" on you. Sorry if you feel that way.

that's not what i'm getting at. if you read my comment a few above the last, i said i dont care about who the fans are anymore. don't get made at me judging. though i don't do it often, everyone does. its part of life and the human being everyone judges.

Well, no, not everyone, In reality you should be on the other end of the spectrum, you said yourself that you know its wrong.

^ yeah everytime i see someone in a paramore shirt i judge them. it's terrible but i'm not going to lie. i'm like i bet they didn't know them before twilight or riot! it's mean, but it's true considering the people that wear their clothes. i still remember in 06 i wore a paramore shirt to school and everyone was like what does that say? what does that mean?

It doesnt make anyone less of a fan. You dont have any entitlement to them just because "you were there first"

of course it's exciting for them! and im so happy and proud. im just saying it's a little strange to me because i'm still not used to them being as big as they are.

I wasn't really referring to you I know what you mean

Regardless of how you feel about this personally, you've got to remember that Paramore are getting major success here, it must be so exciting for them!

Where as, I am. So I don't necessarily view it as being a 'bad' thing.

 

 

Let Go and Under my Skin are two brilliant records that're easily towards the upper end of the quality spectrum in their respective years of release.

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that...

Let go is my third favorite album!

So Canadian Kayla got 14,100? Wanna rethink that?

Yup, My flawed Logic is flawed.

14664

Im guessing the UK got from 13,000-15,000 or something like that.

YouTube-op

precisely why i need to make it good after going off on one to you

...sorry about that by the way, haha !

well duh, guys hahaa, how it actually turns out depends on if i'll parade it around here or not. storyboards are done, haven't started filming yet though. eeek. who knows if it'll work as planned.

 

BUT ANYWAY, ON TOPIC. woo, shane drake, etc. wait, i mean boo shane drake. whatevs trevs !

^It's a poor song

 

 

Opinions are funny things

Win!!!

 

My 4 year old loves MJ and there is something to be said about him still touching kids even after he has died

lol

In September 2009, record producer, singer and rapper, Timbaland announced that Paramore would feature on Shock Value 2, the follow up to his 2007 platinum selling record, Shock Value. Other artists on the album include Lady GaGa and Kings of Leon. The album is currently scheduled to be released on November 23rd in Europe and November 24th in North America.

Or you could release Careful and give people something they'd actually listen to

I like you...

*stalker face*

I was simply trying to explain my thoughts as clearly as possible, if that came across as patronizing, I apologize. I didn't know you were studying Media, that's why I used that argument. It turns out, you are way more qualified to use such an argument than I am.

It was the only way I could put it into words that I could find to explain why I feel the way I do about the videos. But, every Director has their own style (of course). Regardless, I stand by what I said, and I think the amount of time Ive spent with the videos, and my geeky fascination with cinematography contribute to my love of Shane Drake and his work. That personal interest contributes to the small amount of a "professional" (lol) opinion I can have regarding the issue. Like I said, all "professionals" (there it is again) have different opinions on their fellow "Professionals" (and again) work.

Oh, Jake, let me get one thing straight: please, please do stop patronizing me when i have just sent off several applications to study film production and cinematography at university, stop assuming i don't know anything about genericy or cinematography because this time next year that is going to be my life and i am serious about it. I have, coincidentally, spent years studying media texts (including, infact, music videos) and, since you bring it up poems. So just drop that tone of arguement right there while this can still be fun mmkay

 

Now, i am not calling misery business easy to do, or even awful; it is what it is, and it is generic, predictable and uninspired. care to fancy on contradicting that rather than hammering down my opinion based on academic learning and youtube ?

I find it quite ironic how you just slammed me for being patronising. I would write a more detailed reply, but now it is aparrent that it's not worth it.

Well....Sorry I had to leave for a minute

oh, also, whilst i'm in the argue-y debate-y mood, i'd just like to tell you how much i hate that back point. seriously ? it's like going, "oh i don't really like mozart's symphony" "go do it better then", oh, really ? no. because i don't know how, but at the same time, i don't claim to be able to do so either.

 

somethingsomething. just sayin' !

Sorry, you misunderstood my point by posting that. For the most Part I agree with you. I hate that argument. What I meant was, if you had a little taste of making a moving image project, you would realise how hard it is to even achieve the "generic shots" you condemn in the videos. Its actually hard to explain, but its like Analysing poetry. If you have no background in literature, you can be given a poem and be told to extrapolate the Authors emotions and meanings from the piece, and think "What the hell? Theres nothing to analyse here" But if you've spent years of your life studying Poems, you'll be ablle to pick apart every nuance of meaning from each word the poet uses. TO the inexperienced it will look like you are pulling things right out of your arse, but to the expert it will all make sense.

Although I am not an expert in Cinematography. But I have had some experience

One of the reasons that I may have a more positive outlook on the videos might be because Ive seen them hundreds of times, probably verging on thousands. I spend a lot of time making YouTUbe videos and projects ETC, stuff Like unofficial music videos where you have to match Hayleys voice to her lips in the clips. Not easy, and you have to watch every video repeatedly, paying utmost attention to every shot. Ive seen Misery Business so many times, (and this is no joke) I can actually play it through in my head, shot for shot, angle for angle, in the right order.

Spending so much time with that video has really sharpened my Cinematic eye. And I feel I appreciate it more for what it is because of it.

Oh, believe me, give me three years at uni and i full well plan on doing everything to do with music videos, lighting and filming better than shane drake.

 

and i actually can't figure it out; have you even seen these videos ...? the lighting is same old, same old. the whole of them are just so predictable, i don't understand what makes you think they're something special ? please provide some examples; i'm not closed on this, you understand, i'm open to have you change my mind ! but i can't see it happening so far

I guess If you dont like them, you dont like them. I dont know what I can do other than tell you to watch the music videos (which you've already done, many times)

or just messy and generic ? oohhh, conflicting opinions, ohhhh

Haha. Well If you think it was messy go out and do it better. Compare the music video to many others out there where the camera work is uninspired and bland, Where the lighting is same old same old....

I quite liked the way MB actually told a story with it's music video, I'd like for the next Paramore single to be similar in that way. Just makes it more interesting.

I dont care about the story. I just think the way the camera moved around, and the different shots of the Band performing from many angles were really put together well.
