Yeah, the people at my HT were insulting Paramore as I walked over, and then one of the workers said "yeah this girl is here for the listening party [meaning me]" and they were like "Oh....sorry."

dang. that sounded like it was awesome.

i couldn't go, because i had a dang orchestra concert at 7. :( i would have ditched if it wasnt a. all my grade and b. it was like a big deal i guess.

but it sounded like it was awesome! my friend got to go and she doesnt even know anything about paramore, which makes me kind of mad. but oh well, more surprise for june 12th!

So.. I just got back. The album is pretty much really awesome. I felt stupid standing around listening to the music, but since I was the only one there for the listening party the woman who worked there tried to make it a bit fun for me because she liked the band too. So, in between every song she'd be like "AND WHO IS THIS?!?!?!" and I'd be all "PARAMORE!!!!" and people kinda just stared at us. Lolz.

 

For A Pessimist I'm Pretty Optimistic didn't sound too different, same version that's on the internets already. Misery Business had a longer guitar intro. Born For This had the "we want the airwaves backkkkk, give us the airwaves backkkk" (or whatever she says) part that she sings live in it. Uh.. hallelujah wasn't changed up too much at all, but it was definitely re-recorded because the vocals were louder and clearer.

 

I loved all the new songs except for one.. it was totally P!ATD with female vocals. Oh well.. I'll get used to it eventually. All you P!ATD fans will love it right away, I'm sure.

 

After it ended I was on my way out of the store when the lady who worked there stopped me and was like "TIME FOR A PARAMORE QUIZ!!"

 

Me: Oh god, I'm going to fail this. I don't know too much about them.

Lady: Haha well give it your best. What is the singer's name?

Me: Hayley Williams..

Lady: Who are the current 4 members?

Me: Hayley, Josh, Zac and Jeremy

Lady: What tour is the band co-headlining this summer?

Me: Warped Tour

Lady: What is the name of their first album?

Me: All We Know Is Falling

Lady: Can you name a former member of the band?

Me: Uh.. Hunter

Lady: What record label are they on?

Me: Fueled By Ramen

Lady: And lastly, when does RIOT! hit stores?

Me: June 12th

Lady: I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU DIDNT KNOW TOO MUCH!! *laughs*

Me: Haha. So what's my prize?

Lady: Aww we don't have any.. we suck

Me: You could give me the new album! Haha!

Lady: Dang we don't have it yet.. our music comes in via satellite

Me: Ah, I see.

 

 

Then I left. So all you people who are thinking the "hot topic idiots" are going to leak it, think again. They don't even have it.

 

 

PS: THAT'S WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU LET YOUR HEART WINNNNN <3

i was extreamly dissapointed with the trivia. i was like GIVE ME A CHALLANGE.

 

it was me and 2 friends that were there noone else was there for paramore.

i was disapointed i thought more people would have came.

 

as for the songs i listened but didnt really really listen...

becuase i still want the surprise.

 

the guys there were so funny and kinda weirded out how much i knew.

and my friend blurted out that i was on the song so they made me point out when my part came haha it was funny.

 

and thats what you get is going to be a hit i know it.

its sooooo good i loved it

 

so excited.

tonight was a sucess i think.

well for us :]

i kinda knew what songs were which by the chorus.

but some i couldnt tell.

i think it was fences that i need a bettter listen to and the one where

she sounds kinda avrilish at the begginging.

but that could also just be the loudness of the mall kicking in and whatnot.

 

i dont think we can offically say anything till we get the cd.

and lock ourselves in our room and listen to the cd 20 times.

THEN we can talk :]

Yeah...I don't think they promoted this much honestly...I mean, the myspace bulletin on it just went out, what, yesterday? Judging from the attendance, I bet most people didn't even know about it. Ahh well...the hardcore fans heard it I guess :)

It's funny that people are saying Thats What You Get is their favourite, because it's my favourite after I only heard a little bit of it on that FUSE thing (I think it was fuse anyway).

 

Even if they did listening parties etc here (which obviously, they so wouldn't), I don't think I would have gone. I like the moment I first listen to a cd to be good.

 

Anyway.. yay for RIOT! I can't wait to hear it :)

yeah the trivia was so easy. and they were like "sorry we don't have a prize, you can take some leftover Linkin Park stickers." i don't know why i actually took them.

i went with my little sister and we just browsed the store and listened to the album. it was worth going to for me, HT is like 5 minutes from my house.

I went and everything, but I really

couldn't pay attention because the

people around me kept on talking. I

really wished it was louder so I could

here it better. And they didn't do any trivia

or anything and some people on LJ said that

they were going to give out stuff and they didn't. =(

But, from what I could tell, RIOT! is AMAZING.

And I loved how in the begining of Misery Business

they had the mexican music. I was like YAY!

i went && i was the only one there. i walked around the store about a million times && looked at every freakin' thing in the store.

 

i reallly liked it though. very different from all we know, but still good. i still can't get over how much better hayley's voice has gotten. i lovvvvve hallelujah, it's been my favorite paramore song since i heard it. i really liked fences, too. it was different, i liked it. i can't wait to get my own copy && never stop listening to it.
