paramore - after laughter - recording and anticipation

this was very instant for me and it reminds me of something off the last La Roux album

Taylor York, can you stop being so hot

thx

His haircut reminds me of one of the NKOTB guys and he does some great mugging in the video.

Love this single. Am I the only one getting massive Alphabeat vibes from the song and video?

I'd been thinking Jordan, actually, but I had remembered his hair as being curlier than it actuallly was.

HARD
TIMES

XD

this is really good and yeah it sounds EXACTLY like Alphabeat's first album

Part one of an interview with Zane Lowe.

this maybe is an unfavorable comparison, but the track reminds of "You've Changed" by Sia (with Nick Valensi on guitars)

For no reason whatsoever this song and video both remind me of

So yeah this is their new sound and they're sticking to it. Another good track though.

I wonder if this is the track that's gonna get the bigger push on alt radio, while "Hard Times" goes for the top 40 spins

that song rules

paramore's de·pres·sion

So psyched for the album now.

these songs are produced really well. all the instruments are crisp.

they seem to be having fun. this is good

Hard Times went from 'ok' to 'great' after a day and I love this immediately

after staring lovingly at Taylor's mugging iirc

New one is good too. I haven't been a fan in the past but I definitely saw some of the appeal of the last album.

I'm really enjoying the new song, but this part is nagging me a little.

Uh, that isn't showing up for me. So what I was trying to point out was the similarity between the moments at about 2:40 in Told You So and 3:03 in Hard Times.

tbh i like that the songs seem to talk to each other

That's a good way to look at it.

*relistens to "told you so"* ugh this is magnificent

lol

Love "Told You So". This looks suddenly (and, to me anyway, unexpectedly) an album of the year contender.

i can't listen to anything else. what a brilliant song.

I love it when there's something my daughter and I can both enjoy. It's much preferable to nefarious tween marketing tweaks directing her to bullseye shit like Panic! At the Disco and Twenty One Pilots.

Taylor looks like such a nice boyfriend.

Hey y’all.

This album is fantastic. It's just the kind of album I needed in my life right now.

oh awesome! thought this wasn't out till summer for some reason.

Friday.

just when I thought this was their twist-free pop record, the penultimate track shows up

"Forgiveness" is either a blatant Haim lift or a working through of the same influences.

hayley has lately been enthusing about haim all over twitter fyi

Caramanica can't hide his sneer.

I was going to say, who needs a new Haim?

Two quick observations: drummer has some fallback hi-hat on the 2 and 4 beats, and guitarist really likes those little African-esque licks. Both of which work, to my ears.

yeah, lots of high life accents

"forgiveness" is easily the best song i've heard this year & will prob destroy anything on the haim album--and i love haim!

It's got sort of 1975 vibes about it, too. And, um, "Cherish." Lovely, though.

Fake Happy is my immediate favourite. I love how those synths come in after that misleading intro.

No Friend is the only one I'm not really into. I don't think they really pulled off what they were going for. It's the only misfire on the album though, everything else sounds so good.
