I like how she lets the audience handle the offending lyric.

This is too good

guessing the lack of Chicago means Lollapalooza... boo hiss

got a ticket for their show here in Toronto, nosebleeds for $60, which is just about how much i'm willing to pay to see them

Three times in the last week I thought "maybe I will try to get tickets to see such and such," and all three times I learned that the show already happened, including Paramore's.

I forgot that tickets went on sale today! The cheapest nosebleeds left in DC are $125 plus fees, and to be honest that's just not worth it to me. Oh well.

8 years ago - arguably at the height of their popularity, co-headlining with Fall Out Boy - the cost of my ticket, fees included, was half of that. Insane

And that was also in the DC area, just so we're comparing apples

Completely awesome performance of "This Is Why" on of all things The Tonight Show.

Huh. There's some pretty wild stuff going on in that song.

Albums covers Music Videos that depict the artists hanging out with their clones

Rockin tune

Love it. These songs compliment each other very well and I can't wait to hear them in the context of the full record.

Just noticed how much she looks like British actress Amelia Bullmore. Anyway, amazing song, never given Paramore a second thought before now but I love both of these new songs.

this album's gonna rule

I like it.

The subtle little Whammy-pedal bend by Taylor in the chorus rules.

Really like this one too. Feels like they're kind of stitching together all of the stuff they do well, the pop and the emo and the postpunk.

sounds like a great BNE evolution - really appreciate how they kept it at a tight 3 minutes.

these new songs are so fucking good

The newest single, c'est comme ca, is out now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tGeMr5iXoA

love this, very much pro paramore going post-punk

For each song in the rollout, my initial reaction has been "I don't know. Am I on board with this? Does this do it for me?" And then I listen to it 2 or 3 more times before my mind latches onto it and after that, I listen to it for the rest of the day.

yeah not sure about this but I didn't like after laughter at first either so I assume I'll love it soon

There’s a real cohesion in sound when you listen to all three songs in a row - feels like they’ve been listening to a lot of early 00s dance/post-punk

Hayley mentioned Dry Cleaning and Yard Act as inspirations for the latest track, which makes sense

Dry Cleaning makes sense. I've never heard Yard Act, so I'll have to give them a try. The vocals on the chorus remind me of Cansei de Ser Sexy.

But yeah, I agree that everything makes increasing sense in context. Can't wait for the album, but I also hope we don't get any more singles before it's released.

The vocals on the chorus remind me of Cansei de Ser Sexy.

haha good comparison

love the new song, everything sounds so sharp

i do hope there's at least one moment on the album where a guitar sounds like a mouth opening e.g. "future"

Ha it does sound like Dry Cleaning. Yard Act album is good. Reminds me of Art Brut.

Billboard feature

The band wrote the album’s closing track, “Thick Skull,” a marked sonic departure from After Laughter, on day one. “It had these shades of a few different eras of us being music fans, loving heavy, drone-y, almost shoegaze-y moments,” says Williams, also citing York’s clashing guitar patterns, Farro’s thunderous bursts of drumming and even her own rare piano playing on the song. “I was like, ‘Man, this sounds like a band I would love.’ ”

Fat Mike [of NOFX] used to tell people that I gave good rim jobs onstage when I was 19 years old.

Ugh. Fuck that clown.

“It’s kind of like people see us like [The] Princess Diaries,” Farro explains. “They didn’t see the beauty, but we threw off the glasses.”

Take us to film school, Zac.

I figured it out: Taylor grew that hair to spite me.

if you're impatient this is so so good. can't wait for friday

Need a new album thread!

many XP but wrt the heavy/drone-y quote I’ve wished for years they’d do something in the vein of “you were holding an umbrella” by Boris.

well "future" isn't thaaat far off?

there's a whole lot of clips of listening parties floating around, don't think we're going to be disappointed

i was thinking more "all i wanted" but with the vocals tearing it along with the noise. but "future" is pretty much in that direction.
