THISxFIRExBURNS Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 True. I wasn't bashing it for that reason. I was "bashing it", wrong word imo, because I just didn't like it like AWKIF. As I've said before that the two albums are pretty much the same length as each other. Riot I think is two minutes longer. AWKIF = 36 min, Riot = 38 min. AWKIF left me wanting more, and the album seemed too short where as Riot, by about the 5th track I was putting something else on cause the album felt a lot longer than it actually was. And then the fact that it took a couple of weeks for me to actually listen to it in full from start to finish said a lot about it for me. But it is a decent album. Just imo not as good as AWKIF was. We're all entitled to our opinions right? And it doesn't make us bad people wrong:wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damo Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Good opening post buddy. I don't necessarily agree with everything you said, but understand what you mean. What I've found with bands in the past is that they can easily loose their personal appeal once they hit the big time. By personal appeal, I mean that quality a band has that makes you think "wow, I could totally be friends with all of them!" I actually think only the lesser known bands hold this appeal. It's not their fault. Success, inevitably kills that personal appeal and causes fans to become detached from the band and it's members. I wonder if success has hit Josh the way it's hit some of the fans? He doesn't strike me as the kind of person who craves the spotlight. Some of his performances have definitely lacked some much needed energy; maybe that's why? I'm still insanely jealous of the guy though However, I am hoping for a bit more from the upcoming album. I loved Riot, but think I may have overplayed it. The more I listen to it, the more I think, "It's missing something..." Something Hayley and the guys could easily inject if they have enough time to fine tune their next release. Fingers crossed then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emzy Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 they might be crap, but aslong as i know deep down that paramore are who they are, great people with great HARDCORE fans, not them teenyboppers who dye their hair red to be like hayley, i dont care. i wear my shirts with pride, but i do slightly agree.

travel_hymn Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 I don't care at all, that's my view. I love Paramore, their music, and I'm patient with them. I will wait for their next album. Unlike someone I know who tells me "I'm over Paramore" Kind of sad the way things work out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 FBR promotes their bands too much, way too much. They signed a 360 deal = kaboom marketing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paint the sky grey Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 I kinda don't know what I should think about this, but in some way I have to agree. At the beginning of being a Paramore fan, I was kinda proud or better to say calmed that I finally found a good young band that plays exactly the music I like and is not known to all (at least over here). But now they're almost known to all, already appeared in the most crappy german teen mag ever (Bravo) and stuff. It's kinda annoying for me to see how much people from my school behave like 'I'm so cool, I know a band that you don't know and I'm the biggest fan.' When I'm comming over then and say they should calm down, I know this band already about a year and I really live for them, the people often laugh at me and don't believe me. That's the thing I hate at Paramore getting more and more popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_hymn Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 I don't understand why people care so much, like it's the end of their lives. Can't you all just get over it. Sorry to sound rude. But we can't change anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travel_hymn Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Yeah, I totally get that. It's just, to me it seems like the same thing is being said over and over...and from the way it's been said it's as if Paramore are just "whatever" now. I would like to repeat, that they chose to go on MTV. I don't know, maybe they wanted a bigger audience? They knew there would be consequences. I would like to repeat what someone has said, that it seems to be cool to bash mainstream stuff, or something. I don't see the problem personally. I'm a fan of Paramore and I don't care what people think, that's all...lool ehhh...don't shoot me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyTarget Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Perfectly understand what you're saying, if I'm honest I don't really have an opinion on this, my first post on this thread was in one direction, the next another, now I'm neautral on the subject haha.

ParamoreFreak2468 Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 I hope that nobody continues this ridiculous thread. There is a rule that says no bashing PARAMORE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chriss Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 It's not really bashing, just talking about it. However, the best way to keep old posts like this in the past is to just leave them be. Commenting on them bumps them back to the top and then everyone sees them - the last post on this was from 2008, so nobody was continuing it. Rule of thumb: if the last post in a thread is more than a few months old, it's dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
