Huh. Lots of prerecorded stuff there, especially with six people on stage. I was curious how they would pull it off.

Went out and bought the album day of release at Target, which Hayley loves, so that was appropriate.
I also got the DIY magazine issue with them on the cover in the mail. It’s tiny.

Love how the plot of "Rose-Colored Boy" is basically a direct inverse of the archetypal manic pixie dream girl narrative.

Would you say you’re still into it???
― the ghost of markers, Friday, 26 May 2017 00:30 (seven years ago) link
I need to listen to this. It's not the sort of thing I want to listen to in the background while I'm online (since the English lyrics will be too distracting). I think the best thing for me to do is buy a copy and listen in the car.

LAUGH. TILL. WE. CRY
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Friday, 26 May 2017 01:06 (seven years ago) link
kinda want to know what the og straightforward rock arrangement of "caught in the middle" was like
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Friday, 26 May 2017 01:07 (seven years ago) link
"Caught in the Middle" and "26" are the only ones that still haven't unbuttoned their shirts for me.

u like "tell me how" now alfred
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Friday, 26 May 2017 01:20 (seven years ago) link
It reminds me of "Future"

Let the record reflect that I was OTM about "Grudges" upthread.
― Tim F, Friday, 26 May 2017 04:18 (seven years ago) link
guys I think this is the best paramore album

i a/b'd it with the s/t last week and i disagree but only slightly

^^^^ same
― Tim F, Friday, 26 May 2017 05:01 (seven years ago) link
I gotta be honest I regularly skip like 5 songs on Paramore (and I don't mean the interludes)
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 26 May 2017 06:58 (seven years ago) link
love this one but BNE remains the best.

Caught in the Middle feels like a No Doubt album cut. While I like the idea of Paramore going ska, I wish there was more of a chorus. 26 is amazing though! At first I didn't think it lived up to Hate to See Your Heartbreak for me, as far as Paramore country attempts go, but sonically, it really feels like a lost Taylor Swift ballad circa Fearless or Speak Now.

You were.

I think of "26" as a sequel to "Misguided Ghosts", which is one of the three ~perfect songs~ on Brand New Eyes.
But yeah there is something kinda Taylor about it.
― Tim F, Friday, 26 May 2017 14:13 (seven years ago) link
I've been listening to "Tell Me How" on repeat lately
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 26 May 2017 14:15 (seven years ago) link
Dang, jealous that you all connected with this so much. I burned out on it pretty fast.
It's well crafted and has some solid songs but I think it's kinda tacky.
― Evan R, Friday, 26 May 2017 15:15 (seven years ago) link
“Pool” has been a thing for me.

The final three song stretch on this is hypnotizing stuff.

I did -- four days without listening to "Hard Times"!

Proud of u bb.

I was thinking to myself yesterday "man, Fake Hpapy would be a great next single if it weren't for that pesky intro" then lo and behold there it is on Spotify with the intro shorn off

*Happy argh
So this album has been a sales flop eh
― the Rain Man of nationalism. (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 12 June 2017 19:40 (six years ago) link
btw riot! came out ten years ago today
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 12 June 2017 19:41 (six years ago) link
I was hoping that "Hard Times" or "Told You So" would end up as a slow-burn hit the way "Ain't It Fun" did but I guess that's looking unlikely
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Monday, 12 June 2017 19:46 (six years ago) link
they rushed the promo cycle on this record intentionally but its floppability may have been out of their hands anyway
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 12 June 2017 19:52 (six years ago) link
I will never understand the mechanics of what gets to be a pop hit tbh
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Monday, 12 June 2017 19:56 (six years ago) link
i'm surprised "hard times" didn't catch
