I'll definitely buy it, but if the new sound sucks (which I'm completely confident it won't suck) I'll be kind of disappointed.

But hey, a long time ago Bad Religion put out "Into The Unknown" and every human being alive on planet Earth knew it sucked and they had to go back to their normal sound, so bands can put out pure shit and then realize it was a mistake and come back stronger with their original sound.

either way, i will be purchasing that EP the day it comes out!

I don't blindly purchase any albums anymore. I've done that with albums in the past and have been very disappointed on more than a few occasions, and although I'm not hurting for money, I still don't have enough to go throwing it away on sub par albums. I'll do what I do with every album now, I'll listen to it online and if I like it, only then will I go spend money on it.

That's amazing news. I hope that it's heavier and darker and includes death growls from Hayley!

I hope not. I wouldn't mind it being heavier, or darker, but no to the death growls from Hayley. It would be interesting to hear, but that can be a major strain on some singers voices, and Hayley has enough trouble keeping her voice in shape as it is.

Back in the day, I was a member of Columbia House. I got suckered in by their offer of 11 CD's for 1 cent and I ended up buying a lot of albums that I didn't necessarily want but I liked one or two songs that I'd heard on the radio. What I learned from this experience was that a lot of bands in the 90's who had really great songs on the radio picked that song to be their single because the rest of their songs fucking sucked. Now I have stacks of CD's I got dirt cheap that I know I'll never listen to again. I mean you had to pay shipping per CD, so it ended up being like $2 an album, but retrospectively I wish I'd been more careful what I picked. I used to buy them when they had like they buy 1 get 20 free specials, there'd be a bunch of CD's I wanted and then I'd get up to number 10 and be like what the hell should I get to fill in the rest of the order?

That said, I have so much respect for Paramore that I would blindly buy the EP and if it sucks it sucks. I trust that they wouldn't put out shit so I'm comfortable spending the money.

I used to feel that way about some of my favorite bands. Then Metallica put out St. Anger and now I don't trust anyone anymore.

[HayleyRoxMySox]

I've never had a bad experience with a band I like ultimately putting out shit. I'm very flexible with the music I enjoy listening to, if it sounds good I'll listen to it. I find a lot of music to sound good, which is why I'll roll down the street listening to everything from Paramore to Taylor Swift to AC/DC.

[Ross]

Interested to hear how this sounds.

[Erin]

Interested to hear how this sounds.

Definitely.

[kasiek]

i want it like.. NOW

[Erin]

i want it like.. NOW

amen.

If I'm reading this correctly, from the other links I've been linking to, the EP is going to be a lot like In The Mourning, but then Hayley goes on to promise an upcoming (later this year?) LP will be more in line with what we expect from Paramore? They'll finish an LP and release it in what would amount to about 5 months (in order to get it out by the end of the year)? I want a new LP as much as the next person, but I'm thinking more like a year after the EP this summer.

Hope not. I wouldn't buy an EP filled with songs like In The Mourning.

[OliDayyy]

I don't remember reading anything saying the EP would sound like ITM, on the contrary, I thought Hayley said ITM doesn't reflect the rest of the new demos, which are darker.
I guess we just have to wait and see! They said they would start recording the demos 2 weeks after their return from the South American tour, so, one week left! I hope they're going to post videos and stuff during the recording process!

[Chriss]

Yeah, I've heard what Olivia has heard about the rest of these new demos not being like In The Mourning, mostly from Hayley responding to people on LJ. Media outlets are saying it's going to be acoustic, but the band is saying the opposite.

[HayleyRoxMySox]

In any event I can't wait to hear all of it.

A. because it's new Paramore music and that kicks ass and
B. because it'll be summer and summer is fucking awesome because it's summer

[Chriss]

I agree with both of those points.

[HayleyRoxMySox]

the older I get, the more I wish I was young again. Paramore has given me the opportunity to feel young again, and knowing there will be a new EP out this summer has me super excited, even in the face of turning 30 which honestly scares the shit out of me.

[Harry]

I'm in that minority crowd that has a tendency to like their most recent album most, then Riot! and then AWKIF finishing in last, so if this shows genuine progression in their sound, I'll most likely dig it

[Chriss]

^I'm the same way. I love the most recent album and then as soon as they release a newer album, I like that one the most.

I talked to Hayley on Twitter early this morning, and she said they're going to California to record the new EP soon! SO STOKED!

[Erin]

OMG. Stoked! Can't wait for this.

This might be one of the most exciting paramore developments only because you have NO idea what to expect. All we know is it'll be a "darker" version of paramore. Vague terms, be damned!
