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.

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"!

this is my album of 2017 so far, i can't stop listening to it

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

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

i'm telling you, pop radio is allergic to women who don't sound catatonic these days

Even Katy Perry replacing Williams couldn't stop this from tumbling out of the top fifty. And Perry's next.

maura otm. "Ain't It Fun" wouldn't reach the top ten in 2017 if RCA sent 20 grams of coke to every programmer.

"Fake Happy" is my favourite track

Can we discuss how beautifully -- how intricately -- York layers those guitar parts on "Told You So"? At least three riffs, each playing something different, and Williams has a melody line for'em all. The thing is like a cuckoo clock.

I tried to convince a skeptical peer of this album's genius by playing him "Told You So" and he replied with "bridge is OK, rest is meh" and now I truly understand rage

that person is not your peer. treat them as the sub-human refuse that they are.

has it been remarked that "forgiveness" sounds like a christine mcvie-penned FM song?
