'Paramore': April 9th


Recommended Posts

Successfully managing to confuse myself, seems so long since I pre-ordered it all. I got an e-mail with an update on the boxset saying that the standard vinyl should be shipped by April 12th and the boxset may be as late as the 25th. So basically by standard vinyl they mean the standard version of the album right? Then the boxset that's arriving by April 25th will have the CD, b-sides 7", poster, hoodie and book?

Track by track review from Billboard!

At times, the explanations for the songs are simply ridiculous, like the one for Be Alone. Anyone could have written a better one, but at least it's a positive review!

 

(Btw, LOVING the new forum look, great job! )

I've been listening to this album for quite some time and to me it's without a doubt their best album so far. I just read an article on NY Times where see mentions that she is much into older stuff like Blondie, The Ramones and Shirelles. I think that shows on this album. Not that they sound like any of these bands, not at all, but like those bands Paramore can also make a great pop tune, even if they are labelled as a emoband or punkband or whatever they are named. On this album they are take a step in their own direction, just like the bands that Haley mentions.

 

What we get is a very versatile album. Just take the two singles as an example. One is a rocksong, the other a romantic popsong. Mixed into this we get interludes that binds the songs together, guitarsolos etc.

 

Also, I think that Hayleys voice sounds better on this album. Well, she has a great voice and on this album I think we get to she that she has a very versatile voice. There is a better balance between her voice and the music. On earlier albums they had a tendency to make music, like the guitar be the center of the songs. Her voice wasn't used to the bands benefits.

 

So I'm really impressed with this album. It shows that they've moved on.

So I got this the day it came out and I have to say I am loving it so far. 

 

The general sound of the band has really evolved since Brand New Eyes- it's got less of a scrappier feel than Riot! and AWKIF had, and it has a slightly less polished sound that Brand New Eyes had, but still all that time they spent on making the album definitely wasn't wasted- the songwriting's a lot more mature and varied, and the song arrangements are a lot tighter- you've got the more rock tracks like 'Fast in My Car', 'Now' and 'Anklebiters', and also the more classic emotional tracks like 'Part II' and 'Future'. It really is a full package. :)

 

And the fact that the album's gone #1 in 8 different countries shows I'm not the only one who loves it!  8-)

And also a fan asked why they're releasing a music video for it, Hayley answered:

@ParamoreFB we just thought we'd like to release something for that song cause it's become pretty special to us after the last tour.

There were a few songs on first listen that I wasn't keen on. Daydreaming was one of them but now it's one of my favourites on the album. I love the Interludes, and normally I'm not an interludes fan. I tend to skip them. Ain't It Fun is great and I love (One Of Those) Crazy Girls and Still Into You. Part II took it's time to grow on me but I love it.

 

In short, I can't wait to see them do these songs live in September!
