Paramore - After Laughter

I'm on song 4 and it's guaranteed a 3/5 which is very good for me and could still get a 4/5

what's with the vocals on No Friend?

I love this specific style but I don't know what it's called. It has like a sort of beach carribean feel.

>excited for math rocky album after told you so
>told you so is far and above the most technically complex song on the album and its just paramore with an 80s vibe
:(

>>72729166
Hard times still the best track

A collection of shitty Haim B-sides...oh boy.

Uh oh string squeaks

I don't think this things getting a 4/5

its brett i gud
7.1/10
except Haim to blow it out of the park though

Tf this is unironically good

>>72729262
>math rocky
>told you so
Yeah I kinda noticed that too.

Will this be this year's Carly Rae Jepsen where everyone pretends a pop album is really good?

DUDE 80s LMAO

>>72729437
this

>>72729215
It's the singer of mewithoutyou, as a fan of their stuff the low vocals are completely intentional. Hayley is a giant fan of their work.

The guitar work in Forgiveness is actually pretty ok,

>>72729239
If it's this new pop tyoe stuff youbshould definitely check out Flock of Dimes (Jen Wasner of Wye Oak's solo project) and AT/ALL

Listening now and this is actually really nice.

>>72729166
mega link? archive isn't working

>>72729262
this

>>72729166
anyone got any bands with this sound but with a male singer?

>>72729683
As for the beach carribean pop feel I was referring to which has actually been called Nu-hula, check out the 2014 album from Vacationer called Relief

This will get an 8.4 BNM from p4k

26 was a low point so far.

>>72729854
Agreed

>>72729854
It's the only one

>>72729873
I dunno No Friend isn't exactly rubbing me the right way

>>72729166
fake happy/rose colored boy best songs on album

Welp no 4/5 but it gets a strong 3

>>72729854
>>72729883
>The two best tracks on the album

Alright; mostly finished.

This album is overall disappointing - but not because it is poppy. It is disappointing because thee nailed the poppy stuff WAY better on the self-titled already. Ain't It Fun is better than this entire album.

The vocal production is kinda naff on a lot of it.

>>72730178
Told You So is the best song they've ever done

Just finished. Surprisingly good.
>>72729883
No Friends was p good.
Gonna give it another really critical listen so when I awkwardly bring the CD to the checkout of my local record store tomorrow I know I'm not making a mistake

>>72729239
Kind of like La Roux's second album?

>almost every song has the same sound

Why couldn't they just make an album of stuff like this?

https://youtube.com/watch?v=4oScRBsOV6I

Alright, so best songs;

Hard Times
Told You So
Rose Coloured Boy
Fake Happy
Idle Worship

Most WTF:

No Friend (but I hate MwY as well so eh)

Pool is fucking AMAZING. Fake Happy is a runner-up.

8/10, better than their self-titled and I like this direction for Paramore.

BEST SONGS IN ORDER

Rose-Colored Boy
Caught in the Middle
Fake Happy
Grudges
Idle Worship
Pool
26

WORST SONGS
Forgiveness
No Friend
Tell Me How

>>72731345
Pool is literally GOAT. Put it higher right now.

>>72729166
>Best
Idle Worship
>Runner Up
Pool, Rose-Colored Boy, and Fake Happy (only listened to the album once, after a few more listens I'll have just 1 runner up)
>Worst
Tell Me How

i dont usually check this type of stuff out but im really liking this. any recs for similar stuff?

if you think its too obvious it probably isnt, im ignorant.

>>72731830
other paramore songs

>>72731837
whats their best work

>>72731861
Their self titled album is far and away their best work. The first album is emo garbage and the two after it are pretty good but have a lot of shitty songs on them.

>>72731884
My favourites on this album are No Friend and 26 so take my taste into account with these recommendations.
Let The Flames Begin and Part 2 are both great (would recommend a live version of ltfb with the outro)
Other notables would be brick by boring brick and future.

Idle Worship might be one of the best songs they've ever released

>>72729166
Only on track 1, Hard Times, and I'm watching the music video and I have to wonder...Anyone else think Hayley looks HOTTER now than when she was younger?

They should have released the album after hard times came out. More people would have cared.

meh

when will la roux (the true queen of pop) make a comeback?

>>72732127
She isn't as hot as 2009, but if she had the same look that she has now in 2009, then she would be sexier. Blonde pop star look just happens to make me cum

>>72729417
/mu/ always loved paramore

if anything this album is kinda disappointing compared to their previous stuff (only slightly)

>>72729417
emotion is a masterpiece you piece of shit

Feel kind of mislead by Hard Times and Told You So but I really like the album.

The tracks Zac co-wrote (Pool, Grudges and R-CB) are all bops, fingers crossed they stay together long enough for there to be a whole album that Zac works on

>>72729262
Best song hands down

>>72729275
this, without Hayley its just more generic 2010s indie pop

>>72729854
>>72729868
>>72731398
>>72732045
shit taste

JUST LET ME CRYYYYY

A LITTLE BIT LONGEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I'm a huge Paramore fan, have been since Riot.
Half of the songs on this album are good.
Half are bad/really generic.
The highlight is Idle Worship with the outro (No Friend).
The other good tracks are Hard Times, Fake Happy, Told You So and Rose Colored Boy, the rest isn't anything special. And I say that as a great fan of their acoustic stuff.

TFW no rose colored boi

Fake Happy is god tier

First 3 songs were great.
They had a really nice 80s adventure vibe about them, but they didn't feel really full bodied. However though, massive potential there. Would love to see Paramore take the route of essentially a female The 1975, because that's what it reminded me of, and I think that could be incredible. I really foresee huge potential if they go that route.

The rest were trash. All sounded like shit I would hear on any indie pop record.

Overall, 3/10. If they bring out the potential I heard in the first 3 songs, they could bring that up to a 7/10, and if executed right, I foresee a potential 9/10.

>>72729463
hayley is a fan of a lot of unexpected shit
she has a guest spot on a fucking chariot album

Love the album. Can't stop listening to it.

The album started energetic and fun as fuck and then it turned to shit with slow songs and meaningful shit.

Anyone has a link for the 24/96 version?

>>72731398
Are you me?

>Caught in the Middle was originally recorded to be more in vain with their older albums
I'd kill for that mix

Anyone got a working download link for the album in 320?
Everything I'm finding is dead already.

>>72729683
Lmao, this whole 80s pop kick everyone's (Paramore, Haim, Lorde, etc.) on today was done by The 1975 excellently last year

As a longtime Paramore fan , the 2nd half of this album sucks besides the GORGeous last song :(

>>72734420
>he stopped 4 tracks in
Anon pls

>>72729683
everything everything lmao

It was a really different album but you could definitely tell Zac was back and it felt so much more like Paramore than the self titled even though the sound was a bit different. I really liked it though as a whole and it was nice to hear another person singing on the album like back in their first album.

>>72729417
This is New Wave, which is a a Rock sub genre, so no.

>God-tier
Told You So (SOTY as well)

>Sub God-tier
Idle Worship
Hard Times
Fake Happy
Rose-Colored Boy

>Great-tier
Pool
Grudges
No Friend

>Good-tier
Caught in the Middle
Forgiveness

>Meh-tier
26
Tell Me How

>>72729166
it's surprisingly good considering it's paramore

>>72736864
Paramore has always been good dude

>>72729166
just finished listening

Hard Times is still my favorite track since the song I hear first from an album usually sticks with me as the favorite one

Idle Worship, Rose-Coloured Boy and Told You So, Grudges, Caught In the Middle and Pool are all good

the rest felt sort of a bad taste in my mouth

overall I think their s/t and Brand New Eyes were better
6,5/10

>>72736838
Whoa, dude...just...no

>God-tier
Hard Times
Tell Me How

>sub-God-tier
Told You So
Rose Colored Boy

>Great tier
Forgiveness
26

>Good or Decent
Fake Happy
Caught in the Middle

>Grating; not a pleasure to listen to/would select in a list to go listen to
Pool
Grudges
Idle Worship

>Bad; no interest to listen to again
No Friend
A fucking instrumental version would be nice!

>>72729166
Only bad track is 26. It's not even that bad it just doesn't fit at all and kills the momentum of the album.

>>72736926
Yeah, 26 is way out of place and doesn't add anything to what is otherwise a great album.

>>72736926
this desu
otherwise it's a solid 7

>>72736926
>>72737000
Yeah, second listen through it's a fine song just the opposite vibe of the rest of the album. If it was a closer I think the shift in tone would be easier to handle since it won't just jump back into the same vibe like nothing happened.

>>72729166
this album slays. Rose Colored Boy is the shit

>>72736899
>overall I think their s/t and Brand New Eyes were better
BNE yes cause it's easily their best album, S/T sucked dick, but even that was better than this overall

>>72732759
>>72732127
post pics for comparison

>>72733067
*sips tea*

>>72736899
finished listening to the album for the second time and it all somehow came more together than before, 26 still feels out of the place though
8/10 is my final verdict which now makes my second favorite Paramore album

>>72729166
>>72729166 (OP)
On track 10 right now..Can't help but feel that I want it to be over. Probably won't re-visit it, "Hard times" is catchy but the whole 80's revival thing kind of bores me, and that's coming from someone who likes shit like that.

>>72737571
it doesnt sounds like 80s revival.
it sounds like a revival of mildly rehashed 80s aesthetics from the mid-00s,

>>72737623
That makes more sense.

>>72730372
i thought after laughter sounded a lot like trouble in paradise at times

No Friend.

did anyone else hear someone whisper "carlos" at the end of fake happy?

is it just me or are they ripping off vampire weekend extremely?

>>72738820
just you

>>72738703
omg yes

>>72738820

It's their 80s pop album, not their Paul Simon album.

>Tell Me How

some of the lyrics on this album are very boring. 26 wouldn't be out of place on a Hallmark greeting card

literally their only good record

>>72739649
brand new eyes was better though

>>72739735
brand new eyes was a snooze-fest through and through. what are you on?

>>72729166
what's with the logo thing on the cover? did their designer fuck up or something?

>>72739829
i just liked the band desu

the self-titled was like an explosion of creativity

this kind of feels like the same song over an over (except for 26 which is great, and the last two songs, which are awful)

I like the singles, but I'm (so far) disappointed in the new album. Their worst yet, no question.

I'd rank them:

1. s/t
2. Riot
3. BNE
4. AWKIF
5. ATL

>>72739829
>Careful
>Brick by Boring Brick
>Turn It Off
>All I Wanted

>boring
The fuck are YOU on? It's automatically one of their best albums just because of Careful.

>>72740243
THE TRUTH NEVER SET ME FREE SO I'LL DO IT MYSELF

>>72740039

I'd argue:

1. BNE
2. Riot
3. AWKIF = S/t
4. AL

That being said, I'm glad AL is a step away from the rest. They need to veer off a little more, I think

BNE > s/t > AL > shit=the rest

>>72740812
>putting BNE at the top but then not appreciating at least Riot at *all*? Literally what the fuk, dud?

interesting opinion

This album is so comfy senpai

>>72729166
>3.55 on RYM
What the hell?

>>72741850
Should be higher.

That chorus on Pool is fantastic.

>>72740039
1. AWKIF
2. Riot
2. ATL
3. s/t
4. BNE

Wasn't that big a fan of BNE desu

>>72740039
AL > S/T > BNE > Riot! > AWKIF

Certified 8/10. Bretty great stuff.
The only tracks that fall short are Caught in the Middle, No Friend, and Tell Me How.

>>72742334
But those tracks are the best off the album.

5/10 and I think that's being generous, only listened twice.

>>72731010
Are you me?
This is an accurate list after my first two listens.

>>72731010
26, Pool, Grudges and Tell Me How are all good songs.

>>72733873
This. Easily the best emo as fuck

>>72740359
Where do EPs come in? Cause I really dug the Singles Club
