lol, just the way you phrased that makes me hope he assiduously throws himself into Steve Vai and the next paramore album is all arpeggio runs, whammy bar, and pinch harmonics.

Taylor York has stepped up to every challenge since 2010.

i can't disagree harder w/ any opinion than the idea that those guitar parts on the paramore album aren't awesome
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 5 October 2017 19:11 (six years ago) link
yeah I wish I felt the same way. They sound tacky as fuck to me, and unfortunately the album's best written songs are the ones that lay them on thickest. Like, the whole album is a wash for me, I can have my pick of either second-tier material or good songs saturated in a shtick I find insufferable.
― Evan R, Thursday, 5 October 2017 19:25 (six years ago) link
again, not trying to change anybody's mind on this; I know I'm pretty much alone in this opinion in this thread. Just bummed about it. This was maybe the album I was looking forward to the most this year

i don't really get this video at all but i'm glad they're pushing this one as a single. think it could be the hit from this album.

I love this song
― Evan R, Friday, 17 November 2017 17:21 (six years ago) link
Fake Happy is my favourite song on the album. Hope it can do an Ain't It Fun and give them a slow burning hit single. I'm still in shock at the commercial performance for this album. It should be huge.
― kitchen person, Friday, 17 November 2017 17:32 (six years ago) link
I think the album is fine for what it is but a pretty poor use of this band and Hayley William's vast skill set. It definitely doesn't sound like it should be huge to me, the charts weren't really clamoring for a bunch of polyrhymic 80s throwbacks. Most of it just feels kinda silly and disposable to me; it doesn't have the heft or longevity of the three albums before it.
― Evan R, Friday, 17 November 2017 17:50 (six years ago) link
I'm still hoping there are a bunch of outtakes from these sessions that eventually see daylight. I respect that they opted to make a fairly tight record, but after the four year wait between albums this just feels slight and incomplete to me
― Evan R, Friday, 17 November 2017 17:51 (six years ago) link
this record is perfect and your life is in shambles, friend

― Spottie, Saturday, 18 November 2017 01:23 (six years ago) link
it's a good album but was under-promoted and feels more like their indie album than their pop album so the performance isn't surprising
― ufo, Saturday, 18 November 2017 02:26 (six years ago) link
It could been promoted 24 hours a day in 2017 and it wouldn't have made a difference. These songs don't fit formats.

Anybody seen this tour? Weird moment from last night's show: Zac sang a song about Scooby during the encore, and the crowd seemed totally lost. Couldn't quite understand what was going on.
I was bummed they didn't do "Now." "Fake Happy" and "Ain't it Fun" killed though
― Evan R, Saturday, 2 December 2017 19:31 (six years ago) link
it's a halfnoise (zac's band) song

New Hayley interview! This podcast focuses on beauty/makeup and Hayley's on there to promote her latest GoodDyeYoung product, but she talks a lot of Paramore as well.. About halfway through they get DEEP into skincare products which I found interesting but is alien territory for me so I haven't finished the ep yet. But she has a good rapport with the interviewer. The conversation feels honest and open and friendly and not very press junket-ish, which some of the other AL-cycle interviews suffer from.

Rose Colored Boy video out soon, with a hopefully more satisfying amount of Taylor York hair than the last vid, for Alfred's sake.

i was literally just thinking yesterday, "they should put out 'rose-colored boy' as a single. it won't go anywhere but they should do it anyway"
seeing them live a few weeks ago revved up my appreciation of this album. "Rose-Colored Boy" is now my favorite song on the album
oh & they walked on just after blasting "Man! I Feel Like A Woman" & the crowd sang along in full voice; then they left to "I Wanna Dance With Somebody". this all makes sense I think
