Guest Arya Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Plugged In Online recently published a review of RIOT! on their website: Paramore Riot! From Mag to Web OCT. 2007 Prosocial Content: Lead singer Hayley Williams asks an unnamed other (God?) for protection, life, truth and restored innocence ("We Are Broken"). The optimistic "Hallelujah" requests patience, believing "everything's gonna fall right into place." A woman tells her flighty man that she'll strive to make things work when he stops running from his problems ("When It Rains"). Vague faith references are embedded in "Let the Flames Begin." "Fences" seems to be telling celebrities weary of life in the spotlight that they need to erect boundaries to protect their souls. Cloudy context doesn't diminish Williams' desire to witness a "Miracle" ("I won't let you give up on a miracle when it might save you"). That track also finds her refusing to run from things that are uncomfortable. On the popular "Misery Business" a woman won't compromise sexually to win a man. However ... Objectionable Content: She lands the guy after he's cut loose by a female she calls "a whore, you're nothing more ... that'll never change." In gloating over her victory, she uses God's name several times in an exclamatory manner. Summary Advisory: With a similar vocal style to Avril Lavigne, Williams upstages wailing guitars to deliver palatable angst, plus a few references to faith and hope. Sadly, the clearest mention of God on this sometimes spiritual disc is a misuse of His name. Use the "skip" button on track four. ----- I don't agree with some of this (mainly the Avril Lavigne and Miz Biz comments), but it's still a pretty positive review.

out_of_the_blue Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 And that is why religion freaks (people who take it too far) piss me off... Exactly. If you ask me she got the meaning of When It Rains totally wrong.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annmarie Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Um, I don't think so. exactly. Can't they just stop with the Avril comparison. She sounds nothing like her Its like if they have nothing else to say, they'd mention avril. you can tell this is a religious review Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the1 Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Exactly. If you ask me she got the meaning of When It Rains totally wrong.. I just think that not everything should be linked with or evaluated by religion. Hence why I respect Paramore- they keep it to themselves. And it's meant to be a music review, not a cross-examination of the bands faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

numbtothecore Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Wow. Yeah, that is kinda harsh, but hasn't she apologized for that? Or was this written before then? I don't know. But either way, this was a bad way to get their point (if there was one) across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But either way, this was a bad way to get their point (if there was one) across. Reading the other crap reviews on there, the point they want to get across is that it's evil to think for yourself. I hate sites like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
