Now it's exactly 50-50. I was surprised to see that 3 out of the 4 places that are battling for that top spot are the tied just the same: 49-50, more or less. Only Tokio Hotel has 87% against Florence and the Machine.

We got so far! But this time it's really tight! Paramore 50.03% Ed Sheeran 49.97%

"Paramore" Review on the Alternative Press website (5/5). http://www.altpress.com/reviews/entry/paramore_paramore I think it's a great review!

I'm creating this topic for fun, I'm curious: which song would you prefer as the next single off the album? Please motivate your choice! I, for one, would vote for "Last Hope", because it's the pure Paramore spirit present in all their albums, it's different in a good way and I think it'd make a hell of a video!

Dudes, vote!! This one's tight! :/

I really liked your review! I agree with the following things: the LTFB/Part II merger, that Be Alone has an AWKIF ring to it (was just thinking about it today!) and the favourites you chose! God, every time I listen to Last Hope it just gets better and better. <3 I love how I can just lose myself in the middle of all those instruments and Hayley's heavenly long "ah"'s, towards the end. It's like it's taking me up on some clouds and leaves me floating there. Unbelievable! This is what a Paramore song does!

Part II is a phenomenal song, but something stopped me from making it a highlight. Maybe because it's so reminiscent of Riot and we've heard it before. Anyway I'm glad you liked it!

Kasiek mentioned above that no one was talking about the album, so I decided to write a review. Please, if you don't agree with something I wrote, that's fine, but don't rant about it and attack me, it's my personal opinion! "PARAMORE" by Paramore - Review It's finally time. It's been almost 4 years since the band's last effort, the astonishing "Brand New Eyes". Since then, they've went through a lot, but they're no quitters. Their friends from Fall Out Boy state clearly: "Quitters never win". Now they're back stronger than ever, with fresh forces, happy faces and ready to rock those goddamn stages. FAST IN MY CAR (10/10) Their fresh comeback is clearly visible in the opening track. Opening with sick drumbeats, Hayley sings about how they had to change over the years ("All we want is you to give us a break", "When we spotted a second chance we had to learn how to steal"). But no worries, all they want right now is to have fun! NOW (10/10) Who would've imagined a war song from Paramore? They've teased us since December and then suddenly, in January, the song was released. "Now" portraits the new style perfectly. They might have lost some battles (wink wink, Farro brothers), but in the end they're the winners. The heavy, yet danceable lead single will remain one of their best songs. Ever. GROW UP (9.5/10) Now we now that Hayley's Instagram status is actually a lyric from this song. The song bursts with up-front attitude from the singer ("I told them all where to stick it"). It's a clear message: you should grow up if you still hate on them for something insignificant! Also worth mentioning the catchy "We get along" part. DAYDREAMING (8.5/10) There's just something...off about this song. The lyrics are great for the most part, the chorus could have been shaped better. Anyway, the instrumental is great. INTERLUDE: MOVING ON (10/10) Following the steps of the former song, "Grow Up", Hayley sings with a relaxed attitude: "Let 'em rise and rise, cause one day they're gonna fall". Ending the first part out of the three of the album, it's really good to hear how devilishly happy she sings, and how they don't have no worries anymore. The theme is continued in their final interlude as well. AIN'T IT FUN (10/10) *** 10 is not enough of a good mark for this song, cause it's SPECTACULAR! That gospel choir, mmm! Reality check songs aren't always that good, but Paramore nailed it. Also, the transition from the glockenspiel in the first chorus to the guitar riff in the second one is marvelous. PART II (10/10) "Let the Flames Begin" was one of RIOT!'s highlights; its sequel is the same on this album. This song is amazing for a couple of reasons. First, it reminds us what happened on LTFB, mixing it with the darkness of BNE. Second, the way the chorus is sung, with those riffs and so much power in Hayley's voice, that's the real Paramore right there. Third, the ending...wow. Can't wait to hear it live. It sounds like a Final Riot song, but there ain't nothing wrong with that. LAST HOPE (10/10) *** I might not be the only one who portrays Hayley as a innocent girl-like, with a cute white dress on and a tiny microphone. Her voice is simply adorable. "It's just a spark, but it's enough to keep me going" may well be awarded Lyric of the Year. It's also great that they decided not to set a structure for this song, it gives it way more originality and personality. STILL INTO YOU (9.4/10) The fans were clearly surprised when they heard the second single of the album: a poppy, feelgood love anthem. The song screams "Paramore", it's clearly their signature on the song, but it might've been a teeny bit better to make it more rocky. ANKLEBITERS (9.7/10) Had the song been longer, it would've gotten the top mark. It's among the only songs that reminds us of the anger on "Brand New Eyes". And not to make it totally dark, they've brightened up the music a bit. Risky move, but worth it. INTERLUDE: HOLIDAY (7.5/10) I don't know if this one was really necessary, I mean the "Now I can move on to facing big girl problems" has kind of been debated already in the first part of the album. Repetition's not always that good. Not the greatest way to end the second part of the album. PROOF (9.5/10) "Baby, if I'm half the man I say I am, if I'm a woman with no fear just like I claim I am". Damn, this is one catchy chorus! You can simply not hate this song. It makes me want to grab the nearest bottle and pretend I'm singing on a stage and dancing around in a world full of pink and lovey-dovey stuff. HATE TO SEE YOUR HEART BREAK (10/10) *** Doesn't this song scream the 90's? It's a perfect way to invoke the great ballads that have defined one of the greatest decades in music history. The emotion that is transmitted throughout the song is simply amazing, you can actually hear her pain. Plus, the violins towards the end let you process the greatness you've just heard. Simply wow. (ONE OF THOSE) CRAZY GIRLS (9.8/10) Wait, what? Tango rhythm at the beginning? Now that's something! Perhaps if you only heard the instrumental of the song you wouldn't be so hooked on it, but the desperation to see her loved one is what makes this song so adorable! Loving how they transition from dance to rock and then to a smooth uke atmosphere, to make room for their final interlude. INTERLUDE: I'M NOT ANGRY ANYMORE (9/10) Still relaxed from OOTCG's ending, this interlude sets a great image: somewhere on the beach maybe, sitting in the sand with the uke in the nad. The band isn't angry anymore, they're "syrupy sweet". Like mentioned above, the fact that they repeated the theme of the first interlude can get a little bit nagging. BE ALONE (8.5/10) Too bad the song's so catchy, the chorus is just...really? I would like to know who is behind this, this is probably their worst attempt at writing a catchy chorus. FUTURE (9/10) When seeing that the song is nearly 8 minutes long, I expected something epic. The lyrics are alright, could've been much better. The song, however, is prolonged senselessly. It could have ended at 5:30, before it goes into that short silence and begins again. Props to Taylor and Jerm for creating a great guitar and bass line, but don't make another 8 mins long song unless the greatness extends up to that time. RATING: 9.5/10 Highlights of the album are marked with ***. Maybe it isn't a masterpiece, but it sure is a great way to come back! Paramore, you've been missed.

57.6 % against 42.4% for Paramore. VOTE PEOPLE!

^ I get what you're saying. I was thinking I wouldn't listen to the album until Friday, but screw that, I was too excited! Like watchthesky said, new favorite Paramore album, hats down. The only thing that will bug me forever about the album is that "Part II" could have had a MUCH better title than the current one. By the way, are there any Neon Trees fans here? "Last Hope" sounds so reminiscent of their song "Trust"! It's great.

Can't believe they've finally announced a release date! <3 I'm really excited for this last series; Cassie was my favorite from the 1st gen. Although a lot of people hate the last gen, I kinda liked it. I mean, it wasn't bad, it just didn't live up to the 1st & 2nd gen. July can't come any faster!

yeah so...i'm going to interrupt you guys for a second. i won't be posting links and i hope i don't get in trouble for this, but the album's already leaked on the internet. apparently some stores in Argentina (!) have already started selling the album. from there on it's history

I'm so sorry How can you not be happy when you're winning free tickets? Hell, even if they were for Justin Bieber I'd fake being happy on the phone! Then I'd put them up on eBay and with that money i would go buy me some paramore tix

WOW! Oh my God, this looks amazing. So new, so fresh, so... them! I'm happy to see they've transported the main message of the album into the website as well!

Fresh tweet. Monday's so close!! paramore â€@paramore5h The new album will premiere beginning Monday on http://paramore.net - more details coming soon!

Yeah, it's pretty unfair with these contests... But then again, even if it were just for die-hard Paramore fans, how would they be sure you're not faking it, just for the sake of the tickets? Anyway, good luck on winning those tickets!

Paramore is now up in the second round against Metallica! The current stats are: Paramore 65.9% Metallica 34.1% Vote vote and always vote! http://www.mtv.com/news/musical_march_madness/

For those of you who don't follow LiveJournal, pretty big update! 1. Lyrics to "Daydreaming" 2. New post by Hayley: http://paramoreband.livejournal.com/82022.html 3. Hayley confirmed that "Escape Route" & "Native Tongue" will be the bonus tracks on the vinyl edition of the album. 4. First review of the album in RockSound! Read below: There's a line approximately halfway through 'Fast In My Car' - the first track on 'Paramore' - that sums up everything we've come to learn about its creators as of late. Namely: "No one's the same as they used to be." Rarely has a truer word been spoken, let alone so quickly. Nearly four years after the multi-million selling 'brand new eyes' was first unleashed, Paramore are finally back on the grid and riding high after a period that nearly broke them - several years older and two men down. And as the song in question tells us, the trio have stepped back into the sunlight in a much different form to the unit that temporarily slipped into the shadows. Having barely set foot in front of an audience fort the past two years, let alone in front of a camera, the band's self-titled fourth album quickly reveals that in re-emerging, Paramore have done so in a very, very different form. Where its predecessor perfectly captured a period of frustration and resentment - the result of which was an angry, bitter collection of songs that clattered and snarled in equal measure - 'Paramore' is a very much the sound of a happier, more comfortable band. Bathed in subtle synths and sprinkled with pinches of electronica, songs such as the aforementioned opener and 'Grow Up' show the trio in a very different light. Catchy and danceable, there's an unmistakably 'cheery' edge to much of the songs present. 'Part II' follows a similar path, featuring electronic-sounding drums alongside a chorus that booms and distorts in equal measure, a distortion that's often equally as prevalent throughout the album's course. The scuzzy, almost garage rocks guitars of lead single 'Now' aside, the likes of 'Anklebiters' and 'Proof' offer gang vocals and abrasive guitars respectively, presenting a polar-opposite to the acoustic refrains of 'Last Hope' and the slow mellow harmonies of 'Hate To See Your Heart Break." It's broad, interchanging stuff, and there are moments on 'Paramore' that push the envelope further still. 'Ain't It Fun' is an infectious slice of gospel-tinged soul, while there are ukulele-led interludes breaking things up in between. Even come the album's conclusion - the expansive, eight minute long 'Future', which incorporates strings and layered guitars to create something genuinely bordering on post-rock - there are still surprises to be found, and new sounds to tune into. Ultimately, though, 'Paramore' is exactly that; an album of surprises and an unpredictable, varied and wildly diverse journey. It's bold, brave and on occasion almost difficult to digest, not least in a single sitting, such is its sheer scope and willingness to push the boundaries of what people are likely to expect from a mainstream rock act. This however, is no bad thing. Because although this may be a very different Paramore to the one that disappeared from view, the end result is at least an album that sounds, and more important feels, like themselves. No one's the same as they used to be, but in the case of 'Paramore', this is something to be celebrated. FOR FANS OF: Comfort, happiness, new beginnings. Side note: Hayley seems to be commenting a lot on LiveJournal, so I guess we have higher chances of getting our questions answered there than Twitter!
