DON'T YOU THINK IT'S WEIRD HOW "TOLD YOU SO" SOUNDS LIKE STEVE REICH'S "TEHILLIM"???

I don’t really care about Fleetwood Mac. They should play some Staind.

I still haven't caught up with the new one. Loved the self-titled record though. This one is a bit more synthy, no?

About what I've recently concluded is necessary for me to keep things together at all.

Top 1 for me

Ha yeah, same here! I took a break from listening to it for a week or so but went back to it again today. I loved the s/t but this even tops that.
― Gavin, Leeds, Tuesday, 4 July 2017 17:53 (six years ago) link
Yeah, this has become my album of the year too. It's just edging out Perfume Genius.

Still love this band but this album is tacky

You know who else is tacky?

I haven't heard any other Paramore album, but I love this one. Would I enjoy their other stuff? I know this one is different...
― Unchanging Window (Ross), Tuesday, 4 July 2017 23:33 (six years ago) link
Tacky
― the Rain Man of nationalism. (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 4 July 2017 23:50 (six years ago) link
xp yeah you'd probably enjoy them a lot, especially the s/t album, which foreshadows some of the poppier sounds on this one. The albums before that were much more modern rock-y, but they were a best in class kinda thing for what they were

I seriously just got into a car accident about two hours ago while Hard Times was playing on my car stereo. Fortunately, nobody was hurt and I am pretty sure the other driver's insurance will have to pay (I was rear-ended while being forced to stop during a right-hand turn), but my care looks like crap even more than it did before. Some sort of sign.

good show. the fleetwood mac cover is really good.
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 5 October 2017 14:52 (six years ago) link
Now that the album has been, alas, a resounding flop I wonder what's next.
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 5 October 2017 14:54 (six years ago) link
Hopefully they're still doing well enough as a touring act that soft sales don't matter so much?
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Thursday, 5 October 2017 14:59 (six years ago) link
I think I'm the only one here who hates the new album, but would they still be worth seeing if I'm not into the new stuff? They're coming in December but I don't think I can take 90 minutes of polyrhythmic beach party Paramore
― Evan R, Thursday, 5 October 2017 15:07 (six years ago) link
There are a lot of videos and setlists available from the tour. They are playing plenty of older stuff.
I had tickets to their DC show, but found out a couple weeks ahead of time that I couldn't make it. Put my tickets up for sale online and no one bought them. There were several other sellers there, all seemingly trying desperately to unload tickets and taking losses at the last minute. As far as I know none of them sold. This was my first time trying to sell tickets online, so I don't know if this is the usual experience, but I would have thought there would have been more demand for Paramore in a 3,000-seater.
― how's life, Thursday, 5 October 2017 15:13 (six years ago) link
the album isn't even 40 minutes of polyrhythmic beach party paramore
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Thursday, 5 October 2017 15:18 (six years ago) link
I just busted out the album for the first time in a while this week and the polyrhythmic beach party still holds up really well for me.
― how's life, Thursday, 5 October 2017 15:19 (six years ago) link
they play hard times, told you so, rose colored boy, forgiveness, fake happy, 26 and caught in the middle, everything else is old ... it was a very tight set list i thought
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 5 October 2017 16:38 (six years ago) link
the first 6 songs on the album are fav stretch of any album i've heard this year... still warming up slowly to the back half
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 5 October 2017 16:39 (six years ago) link
they sold out radio city last night (6,000 cap) but idk what that means really
i don't think this album not catching on means much ultimately... i think they're a pop band now but wouldn't imagine them making more songs that sound like "hard times" et al anyway
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 5 October 2017 16:41 (six years ago) link
Yeah, I'm sure the next album cycle will bring more change.
― how's life, Thursday, 5 October 2017 16:48 (six years ago) link
hopefully Taylor York won't learn one new guitar trick and hammer it into the ground on the next record
― Evan R, Thursday, 5 October 2017 16:53 (six years ago) link
strong disagree
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Thursday, 5 October 2017 16:55 (six years ago) link
lol, just the way you phrased that makes me hope he assiduously throws himself into Steve Vai and the next paramore album is all arpeggio runs, whammy bar, and pinch harmonics.
― how's life, Thursday, 5 October 2017 17:19 (six years ago) link
Taylor York has stepped up to every challenge since 2010.
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 5 October 2017 17:49 (six years ago) link
i can't disagree harder w/ any opinion than the idea that those guitar parts on the paramore album aren't awesome
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 5 October 2017 19:11 (six years ago) link
yeah I wish I felt the same way. They sound tacky as fuck to me, and unfortunately the album's best written songs are the ones that lay them on thickest. Like, the whole album is a wash for me, I can have my pick of either second-tier material or good songs saturated in a shtick I find insufferable.
― Evan R, Thursday, 5 October 2017 19:25 (six years ago) link
again, not trying to change anybody's mind on this; I know I'm pretty much alone in this opinion in this thread. Just bummed about it. This was maybe the album I was looking forward to the most this year

i don't really get this video at all but i'm glad they're pushing this one as a single. think it could be the hit from this album.
