Modern Paramore is very much a group that feels playful and eager to explore the border between pop and rock in all kinds of ways.
Yeah they're doing this better than anyone else. I see rock as a little more of a commodity rn, since so few are doing it well, but their past gambits have paid off so I'll happily take a pop album

Looks like I made a mistake reading the YouTube comments on "Hard Times." I forget the ideal of purity their most fervent fans believe in.

The only track of theirs I rep for is / ain't it fun / which is transcendent. However much I was ready to love this one, it seems to be missing some magic.

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

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.

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

So psyched for the album now.
― how's life, Wednesday, 3 May 2017 17:40 (nine years ago)
these songs are produced really well. all the instruments are crisp.
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 3 May 2017 17:59 (nine years ago)
they seem to be having fun. this is good
― Spottie, Wednesday, 3 May 2017 18:23 (nine years ago)
Hard Times went from 'ok' to 'great' after a day and I love this immediately

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.

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.
― how's life, Thursday, 4 May 2017 13:41 (nine years ago)
tbh i like that the songs seem to talk to each other
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Thursday, 4 May 2017 13:42 (nine years ago)
That's a good way to look at it.
― how's life, Thursday, 4 May 2017 13:43 (nine years ago)

Love "Told You So". This looks suddenly (and, to me anyway, unexpectedly) an album of the year contender.
― Jeff W, Friday, 5 May 2017 09:41 (nine years ago)
i can't listen to anything else. what a brilliant song.
― Nourry, Friday, 5 May 2017 09:56 (nine years ago)
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.
