paramore - after laughter - recording and anticipation

one more with Hayley harmonies!

this is like the first time i heard fearless and thought half of the choruses on that record were rebranded mainstream emo

I guess i've gone full circle. Fearless is probably a large touchstone for what I might consider modern country, even though it was almost a decade ago.

tee-THAH!

some good taylor content there cc alfred

Huh. Lots of prerecorded stuff there, especially with six people on stage. I was curious how they would pull it off.

Went out and bought the album day of release at Target, which Hayley loves, so that was appropriate.

I also got the DIY magazine issue with them on the cover in the mail. It’s tiny.

THESE
NIGHTS

Yah?

Love how the plot of "Rose-Colored Boy" is basically a direct inverse of the archetypal manic pixie dream girl narrative.

you are the waaaave

I still love this

Would you say you’re still into it???

I need to listen to this. It's not the sort of thing I want to listen to in the background while I'm online (since the English lyrics will be too distracting). I think the best thing for me to do is buy a copy and listen in the car.

After all this time?

I think I love every song on this album now.

I'm still into him!

I should be over all the butterflies

Some things just, some things just make sense.

I think I love every song on this album now.

same. i had a moment with "grudges" today

LAUGH. TILL. WE. CRY

kinda want to know what the og straightforward rock arrangement of "caught in the middle" was like

"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

It reminds me of "Future"

Let the record reflect that I was OTM about "Grudges" upthread.

guys I think this is the best paramore album

i a/b'd it with the s/t last week and i disagree but only slightly

^^^^ same

I gotta be honest I regularly skip like 5 songs on Paramore (and I don't mean the interludes)

love this one but BNE remains the best.

"Caught in the Middle" and "26" are the only ones that still haven't unbuttoned their shirts for me.

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.

I've been listening to "Tell Me How" on repeat lately

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.

“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"!

*I did it

Proud of u bb.

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

So this album has been a sales flop eh

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
