i love this song, perfect direction for them to go in (if the rest of the album is like this)
― Murgatroid, Wednesday, 28 September 2022 18:30 (one year ago) link
I like this a lot, it reminds me of Lonelady which is not what I was expecting.
OTOH the only good reason to delay the album until next year is to maximise ILM poll placement opportunities.

Do any of you know what's behind long-ass album rollouts these days? There seem to be more of them lately, where the initial single will be released 5-6 months before the album comes out (see also Charli XCX's last album). I've seen people speculate that it is related to vinyl manufacturing delays. But if that's the case, why not just hold the single until it is closer to the time for the records to be ready?
― peace, man, Wednesday, 28 September 2022 22:15 (one year ago) link
Yeah, I don't know what the strategy actually is supposed to be, but for me it feels like an album getting perpetually released over the course of several weeks/months, to the extent that when it actually does come out I sometimes miss it or forget to listen to it. Happened most recently with Beach House, maybe, and perhaps the Beths. I worry it will happen with this and the 1975. For sure it happened with the Hayley Williams solo album.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 28 September 2022 23:19 (one year ago) link
the 1975 have regularly done absurdly long rollouts which seems to be in significant part due to their own disorganisation, but they also love drip-feeding singles
paramore go on tour next week so i'd imagine they probably already had the tour booked & wanted to have new music out before then but the release got held up due to vinyl manufacturing delays & this is the compromise
both of those are different to the beach house/hayley solo album cases though where they were released essentially as a series of multiple EPs - idk what's with that as an approach, it's been common enough in recent years, but i can't think of anything where i've appreciated it
― ufo, Thursday, 29 September 2022 05:03 (one year ago) link
opening 30 seconds sounds like poppy Broadcast. god if the rest of the album is even in that vein.
― Western® with Bacon Flavor, Thursday, 29 September 2022 06:51 (one year ago) link
ah they're not working with jmj this album, that's a shame - guess he's too busy with st vincent recently. it's being produced by carlos de la garza who engineered & mixed the last two + hayley's solo albums
― ufo, Thursday, 29 September 2022 10:50 (one year ago) link
xxp: trying to line things up with tours could be a reasonable explanation. Another example that I heard people talking about was Muse. The first single off this year's album debuted in January, but the album wasn't released until August. However, it looks like their world tour started in April, so that scenario could make sense.
Anyway, back to Paramore.
It sounds to me like the guys are singing background on the chorus, but I'm not totally sure. Anyone else hear that?
Zac's drumming is great.
Add this to the long list of Paramore songs that use "falling" as a metaphor.
― peace, man, Thursday, 29 September 2022 11:02 (one year ago) link
it looks like muse were just booked for all the summer festivals & probably would have liked to have been able to get the album out before them but couldn't. the dates before that were just a few promo shows it looks like. an eight month rollout is pretty silly yeah.

apparently in addition to all the 00s dance-punk influences they were also really into the second rhcp album during recording??

i don't think majors would severely alter plans for any important album over vinyl manufacturing. this is just a personal theory but i think artists started to see fewer and fewer returns on the surprise or one week timeline style album drop. i think when that idea was fresh it was a way to cut thru the noise and get attention on the album, i think at a certain point it became so common place that it stopped having the intended effect of bringing the music world to a screeching halt. ari lennox just a really short announcement to release plan and her album underperformed pretty severely. my sense is that labels/artists are starting to swing back in the other direction and feel like a steady drip of "content" is what is going to keep a new album in people's minds for more than 48 hours

More acts should do what Trent Reznor did and just leave new songs on thumb drives in public bathrooms.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 29 September 2022 17:32 (one year ago) link
If you use a streaming service that brings to your attention new releases by artists you've listened to before (as Spotify does), then a steady drip of content is also going to bring the artist to the top of your "feed" and more occasions, resulting in a greater likelihood of you remembering to listen.
― Tim F, Thursday, 29 September 2022 20:25 (one year ago) link
longer rollouts make sense in a world where people are constantly moving onto the next thing. the longer the rollout, the longer the conversation lasts.
it reminds me of streaming television switching away from the binge model
― comedy khadafi (voodoo chili), Thursday, 29 September 2022 21:06 (one year ago) link
it’s funny because in the cd era, album rollout would routinely take months, and now we’re back baby
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 29 September 2022 21:08 (one year ago) link
Isn't that an attempt to stop people constantly switching between streaming platforms? If you release episodes over more than five weeks, users will have to keep their subscription for more than a month, rather than bingeing it all in a month then switching over to another platform.

beyonce's was pretty compact compared to all these other examples though - announced two months before release, lead single a month before release, that's it
― ufo, Thursday, 29 September 2022 23:05 (one year ago) link
yeah but still there seemed to be an expectation that it would just drop suddenly whenever but they clearly went a different route if not to the extent as some of these others

got a ticket for their show here in Toronto, nosebleeds for $60, which is just about how much i'm willing to pay to see them
― Murgatroid, Friday, 11 November 2022 20:25 (one year ago) link
Three times in the last week I thought "maybe I will try to get tickets to see such and such," and all three times I learned that the show already happened, including Paramore's.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 11 November 2022 20:35 (one year ago) link
I forgot that tickets went on sale today! The cheapest nosebleeds left in DC are $125 plus fees, and to be honest that's just not worth it to me. Oh well.
― peace, man, Saturday, 12 November 2022 00:50 (one year ago) link
8 years ago - arguably at the height of their popularity, co-headlining with Fall Out Boy - the cost of my ticket, fees included, was half of that. Insane
