Should've liked them already desu, been solid from their first album onwards

>>72746888
>do i like paramore now?
Yes, welcome to the club, man. :)

Anyways, have ya listened to any of their albums in full? I'd highly recommend their self-titled if you enjoyed After Laughter. It definitely is more ambitious in length and consequently, not as consistent, but I still consider it a great album especially with the Post-Rock closer "Future".

>>72747805
Also, this guy gets it. All We Know Is Falling is incredibly underrated. It's such a great debut album. It's so consistent. I'd say it's more consistent than the rest of their albums besides After Laughter now. Regardless, everything they've made is great desu.

>>72747805
>>72747929
Fuck you guys, only coming out now. I always get shit on /mu/ for liking Paramore and nobody ever talked about them

>>72747887
>>72746888
Yeah, if you're new to Paramore with AL, it's probably best to work backwards

>>72747929
Paramore have been good, definitely. But their debut is still the weakest of their few - Riot was the compacted streamline of it the very next year

>>72747929
Was gonna mention that one specifically, def their most emo album

Just gave it a listen, definitely much better than the S/T which I felt was bloated and a bit underwhelming aside from Future. They took the "catchy pop tunes with depressing undertones" approach of that album and distilled it into a focused synthpop/new wave effort. Usually not one for pop but they did alright here, though 26 is more reminiscent of the post-BNE Paramore I wish we got and is my favorite song for it.

Brand New Eyes > After Laughter > Riot! > S/T > All We Know Is Falling

Love the vocals and effects, but the instrumental to some songs are god awful.

For told you so the mellow melody was so off base with the vocals. They should have replaced the faint guitar riff with more electronic keyboard like they did later on in the song.

Also, the sound quality for the album leaves a lot to be desired. The fucking instrumental was made for people with sensitive hearing, some songs barely have any life.

I also don't get what no friend is supposed to be. Sounds like audio garbage.

>>72746888
I wish they replaced the hook for "fake happy" with the word "melancholy."

It makes me cringe when I hear that awkward phrase, melancholy would be a lot more apropos and sound better.

Autistic opinion, I know.

>>72746888
Aren't Paramore one of those shit metal bands that are supposedly part of some more sophisticated sub-genre of metal but the only difference is their hairstyles?

>>72748936

I actually really liked No Friend. That repeating guitar line stuck with me and the instrumental still held up even when it dropped out. Not sure what's up with the vocals on it but whatever.

>>72748956
IDk, I just like the sound.

>>72748956

>Paramore
>metal

u wot m8

They're pop punk gone straight-up pop in recent years.

>>72748967
Closest thing to metal I can think of is the song Ignorance.

>>72748977

And even that's a long stretch, though I suppose I can see how some of the guitar playing on it can give that impression.

>>72748965
>>72748967
>>72748977
>>72748984
Thanks, I never listened to them, I saw the lead singer and thought "oh, futile", so the metal thing isn't based on any aural experience.

>>72746888

> it sounds exactly like the album cover

so it sounds exactly like disposable dance-pop?

is gud. As expected from paramore, they've always been making quality music.

I'm not a fan of their Pop punk shit, but this is pretty good

I really liked No Friend for some reason.

There is no way this band would have survived the 2007-2009 era of emo/screamo/pop punk if it wasn't for Hayley Williams. I heard "That's What You Get" recently, having not heard it in years, and I was instantly taken back to my high school years. Shit, I don't even like them, but I can't not associate them with memories of my adolescence.

this makes me want to unironically dance.

Fuck, man, Franklin was my favorite song on that album.
Seriously considering getting back into Paramore now, I haven't listened to anything since Brand New Eyes.
Everybody loved The Only Exception, but I hated that shit was disappointed when they went pop.
But I love pop now, is their new stuff worth listening to?

>>72755376
Absolutely if you're now a pop fan.

TOE was the only bad song on BNE, and they have much prettier ballads now like "Hate To See Your Heart Break" & "Tell Me How"

The s/t is a decent album, but a bit bloated. AL is super comfy like another anon said

>another Paramore album
>it's still not BNE 2.0
When will I stop expecting it and setting myself up for disappointment continuously?

>>72755376
Yeah it is it really is, listen to 26, fake happy, and forgiveness, rose coloured boy from the new album
From their self.titled check- future, last hope, now, hate to see your heart break.

>>72755452
thank you, anon. I'll download them as soon as I get home.

>>72748895
spot on ranking. after laughter is p close to BNE but even though BNE has one or two stinkies it has misguided ghosts and ignorance so it's kind of objectively the best album ever

>>72755513
I knew it wasn't just me! Misguided Ghosts was my shit back in the day. One of the greatest songs of all time.

>>72755513
Careful is legit the best song they've ever done

>>72755452

>TOE was the only bad song on BNE

Eh, I've always felt the run of songs from Feeling Sorry to When The Lines Overlap were too self-indulgent and on the nose for their own good. Otherwise, BNE was spotless and remains their best IMO.

>>72755486
>>72755534
>>72755543

Y'all are alright.

>>72750255
You might just be fucking autistic. That's the shittiest "song" on the album.

>>72753616
Fake happy is good, but the other two are a hit and miss for me.

>>72756969

Not him but it's my second favorite behind 26.

>>72756996
Why? I listened to that twice last night and I got angry at how uninspired and vapid it was. Just random whispers and a mediocre beat.

>>72757025
I bet you think Trout Mask Replica is bad too, right?

>>72757025

I got into the repeating guitar line pretty hard on it. It's almost hypnotic. The whispered vocals don't bother me at all.

>>72757043
Don't worry about fish man, I'm talking about a low audio, barely any vocals, piece of autism.

>>72757093

>piece of autism

Care to explain how that works exactly?

>>72757130
Something that appeals to a fraction of the human psyche. Something clicks that makes someone like it, can't explain it, don't know why you like it, it just so happens that you enjoy it.

A person's autism clings to some piece of work. It assuages their carnal needs for Asperger power.

>>72757084
Just listened to it again. Don't see the appeal.

Only songs I've added to my playlist so far is Hard times, fake happy, and told you so.

>>72757177
wew lad now that's what I call projection

>>72757188

To each their own. I dig it but I'm not much of a pop guy so I like the breaks from pop form more than the proper pop tunes.

>>72757327
I mean it is true for me. There's certain things I like that aren't necessarily the best.

For example I like a few songs off of the Stoney album, but that album is garbage because Anthony Fantano told me so.

Album goes straight to shit after the third song. I wouldn't know if my girlfriend didn't love Paramore so much. You're all closet little girls.

>>72757391
kek

>>72757424

At Forgiveness? That shit reminded me of Tears for Fears or something, I think I liked it more than the first 3 songs.

>>72757499
I actually liked the guitar work up until the cheesed out chorus. You're just looking for ways to appreciate it if you think it sounds like Tears for Fears.

>>72757528

Well, the whole album has a new wave sheen on it. That song in particular feels like it almost could sit next to Everybody Wants To Rule The World stylistically. Not saying it's as good or anything, just that it's in that ballpark.

>>72757607

Just don't act like it's uncommon. 80s nostalgia is a big thing right now, it's generational. Just look at Lorde. Shouldn't evaluate corporate bands so seriously

This is /mu/ in 2017.

>>72761517
Lemme guess- you like harsh noise and Swans?

>>72761605
No but noise and Swans was always part of /mu/ culture. Not a fucking 15 years old girl album

>>72761605
IDIOT. I only listen to REAL music, like Death Grips and Gorillaz.

>>72761605

I like Swans an awful lot and I can tolerate harsh noise just fine. That said, I've also liked Paramore since Misery Business popped up on Guitar Hero. It is what it is, I guess.

>>72758244
so.. like what

is it a concept album about lungs?

what the heck is up with these naming conventions lol

>>72755486
Hayley said their done with that and are more into this type of music these days, so don't expect it.

>>72762600
Yeah I'm sure it had nothing to do with Ain't It Fun buying them a couple of new houses

>>72747990
Plz no bully. ;_;
One of the first threads I made on /mu/ was actually a Paramore thread where I shilled for the band by posting "Future". I've always posted in Paramore threads whenever I saw them too.

>>72748009
I'd say that Riot! has higher highs than All We Know Is Falling, but I enjoy every track on their debut, while "When It Rains" and "We Are Broken" are low points on their second album.

>>72752418
Super comfy. Every song is great, but I will say that the vocals in "No Friend" are still a little off-putting. It would've been amazing if they turned "No Friend" into a long, Psychedelic Rock/Post-Rock track.

>>72755239
Emergency is top-tier and was how I really got into All We Know Is Falling. I used to think their debut was complete trash, but it ended up growing on me an incredible amount.

>>72755376
Why don't you like "The Only Exception"?

>>72757424
>closet little girls
Really gets the noggin joggin...

>>72759862
Brand New Eyes is great, but I don't understand how that is such a favorite for many. Besides, "The Only Exception", there is a little bit of a dip in quality during the middle of the album.

If you don't like No Life you have zero taste

>>72756996
great taste, anon

>>72763741
Hold your horses anon, we won't know that until Anthony tells us.

>>72746956

>>72763729

>while "When It Rains" and "We Are Broken" are low points on their second album

Throw Fences in there and you just listed my favorite songs from Riot!.

>Brand New Eyes is great, but I don't understand how that is such a favorite for many.

For me it's a mixture of things. Thematically it's probably the most angry and confrontational of their records, it's not quite as angsty as the early stuff nor as "look at me, I'm growing up!" as what came after. Hayley really sounds like she has some bones to pick on BNE. Instrumentally, the Farros are incredibly on point, and even when the songs aren't entirely there (like that middle lull you mentioned) their performances carry them farther than they really ought to. Stylistically, it moves out of that pure pop punk sound just a little and shades of indie rock shine in to pepper up the sound a bit - it still feels like the same band that gave us Riot!, but at the same time it sounds like they're trying something just a little different, a little more diverse.

>>72747792

>being this fucking new
GEE GEE GEE GEE BABY BABY BABY

>>72765249

That album had such a great 1-2 punch to start off. I think that's my problem with their post BNE work, BNE was such a "we're fucking mad and we're gonna kick asses to prove it", which they then completely neutered afterwards with the self titled

>>72764124
I'm not saying After Laughter is a 10, it definitely isn't, but hypothetically speaking let's say it is. Anthony would NEVER give it a 10. It has the name "Paramore" attached to it.

>>72765387

>Anthony even touching a Paramore record, let alone reviewing it

I'm not seeing it.

>>72765249
This about BNE. In that regard, I guess it reminds me of what 'nimrod' was for Green Day. These bands are special because, if you like their *general* sound of music, you can see how they brought it down to a perfected, simpler baseline (like RIOT or GD's Kerplunk, Dookie, and Insomniac), perfected that, and then started to show they can keep that up as well as fan out on either side.
++ Honestly, after having AL for a few days, it *does* sound like a matured inverse of the younger, fierier BNE energy. Fighting was a younger peoples' game. On the new album, you can *hear* that Hayley's older & does *not* want to bother with arguments and bickering and all that. Just lighten UP and have fun and "hold onto hope" and all that cheesy-but-pretty shit! In one word, this album just sounds so damn FRIENDLY!

>>72765387
Isn't it weird how he's always surprised they did something good? How did he not at least love those *drums* and vocal melodies from hteir other albums??

>>72765560
I don't think Anthony ever actually listened to a full Paramore album, I could be wrong but I feel he only knows them from songs like "Misery Business" and "Ain't it fun"

fuck off

>>72766033
Are you that butthurt Christian guy who left the band? No need to be mad.

I don't have time to listen to this multiple times to decide whether it's good. Tell me: if I liked Emotion will I like this?

>>72768698
Maybe. They're both pop but After Laughter is more reminiscent of something from the 80's.

>>72768698
This is better than Emotion, Hayley is not a characterless automaton like Carly

>>72769082
Hey man that's fucking rude.

But yeah I agree, Hayley is more relatable.

>>72747929
All We Know is very rudimentary emo-tinged alternative rock. Even Riot was a massive step up.
