Amiee. Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 i was reading through my brothers NME from this week, & came across a track review for 'All We Know'. so yeh, here it is; All We Know (Fuelled By Ramen) There are contrasting views on youth in rock. Some believe that, once you turn 20, you are already too old to be doing rock and you should go and get a proper job, others that teenagers know fuck all and should shut up and go and read some books. Exhibit A in the case for the latter view is Hayley Williams, 17, of rock poster kids Paramore, who takes a fine exercise in barrelling, elemental grunge-pop and queers the brew with the kind of agonised, hyper-menstrual bellowing and general overwroughtness that is peculiar to those particually desperate to be taken seriously. What is it, dear? Have you met a boy? Somebody at school? Well, maybe if you wore a nice dress once in a while he might notice you. Well, i'm just saying. scan; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerrie Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 i thought it was good till someone said it was a bad interview...shows how much I dont get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 I think NME's plan was to write a review that no one could understand so that if Paramore got big, they could then kiss their asses - like they've done with My Chemical Romance.

hayleh Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 okay, i just read back over it and i don't get it much either. it doesn't make sense to me. it can't be a good review though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolkaRocks Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 The person who reviewed the Album was not listening to the lyrics... atleast that's my opinion. And the same thing happened to MCR so no worries peeps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatsername104 Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 haha it took me a couple times through to actually get what the person was saying. and if they were reviewing the track 'All We Know' then i think they got the wrong impression of the song, because the person is pretty much saying that Hayley is singing about a guy not noticing her, which i don't think is the case. and, i think the person who wrote it used those weird analogies and huge words to make up for the fact that they had no idea what they were talking about =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatsername104 Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 yea. if i'm not mistaken, the song is about jeremy leaving ... ? so technically, it's about a guy =] haha but in a totally non crush way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Whoever this guy is, his comprehension skills are lacking. I don't understand how he can perceive the song as a love crush song when throughout the entire bit she says WE not I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 I'm not even sure I understand that review...the whole 20 is too old for rock/Hayley is exhibit A for that makes absolutely no sense to me. He's saying that once you're 20, the stereotype is that you're too old to be in a band making music as your job- and you need to start pursuing a real career. Hayley is the example for that statement because she's so young, probably thinking to herself, "I have to do it now if I'm going to to it at all, cause once I'm 20 I'm too old." Which obviously isn't true.. it's just another chance for this guy to take popshots at the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchurch004 Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 haha, the vocab is almost good. maybe u should take a basic english or writing class. elementary student. listen to barney cuz that is all u would like anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ive seen love die_ Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Maybe this guy should learn what All We Know is about before judging it. Paramore doesn't sing about petty issues. But this guy is an idiot, so I'm done taking what he said seriously anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
