voted "still into you" cause it's one of those songs that gets stuck in my head every few months or so
really great album

iirc part ii was the one I loved most but will have to relisten to confirm
― imago, Wednesday, 16 September 2020 06:10 (three years ago) link
kinda surprised how easily this ended up being "ain't it fun" for me but there's so many other great moments on this album. "grow up", "daydreaming", "future", "crazy girls"...
― ufo, Wednesday, 16 September 2020 12:50 (three years ago) link
this is more about "what I want from my Paramore" and not so much "best to worst" but

best moment on the album: "aren't you tired of being mad at the world / won't you just admit you don't care?" backed by that sassy little string flourish.....wonderful

I didn't see "Ain't It Fun" becoming a top ten more than a year after the album's release. Hard times!

clearly my two favorite Hayley Williams lyrical modes are "withering, world-weary takedown" and "here's how I am just barely holding my shit together"

Love this album so much, could vote for half of them at least. But over the years “Proof” has sort of risen (baking joke!) to the top for me. Hayley Williams is one of the few people whose crises of faith I find compelling.

This is impossible.

It's funny, looking at the album image at the top, I never thought of this as a double-album. But it makes sense that way. It has the ambition and arc for it.

it's canon that this is a double album

Best moments of this album are all the lyrics I misheard, mostly in “Grow Up”, such as: “I left town with a dog and my name” and “Self righteous prawns in a loser game”.
― Tim F, Thursday, 17 September 2020 12:22 (three years ago) link
those are both fantastic wrong lyrics
― unpaid intern at the darvo institute (Simon H.), Thursday, 17 September 2020 12:37 (three years ago) link
She absolutely says "prawns". Also, in the misheard lyrics category, 'I'm bringing my chicken shit back to the shore'

"Proof" has always been my fav but there are four others that I'd be perfectly happy to see win
― Indexed, Monday, 21 September 2020 16:59 (three years ago) link
On my first listen through the album, Last Hope was really the standout track and it has stuck with me through the years, but I really love most of it.
― peace, man, Monday, 21 September 2020 17:38 (three years ago) link
"Last Hope" is a big sweeping phones-in-the-air stadium anthem done about as well as you can do it.

after giving it another listen, it's still "ain't it fun" for me, tho "future" and "last hope" had me reconsidering

Hayley tore into Josh Farro the other day on twitter.
there’s a reason there are only 3 people left in @paramore. surprise, haters, it ain’t cause of me.paramore do not condone religiously/politically dogmatic beliefs which leave our LGBTQ+ friends, fans, & family feeling abandoned and hopeless.— hayley from Paramore 🌺 (@yelyahwilliams) October 28, 2020
and ya know, if that doesn’t jive with you, well, feel free to go to where all past members of paramore have gone which is literally anywhere else but paramore.to paramore’s LGBTQ+ family (and @ColormeBrian i am talkin straight to you) you are full of love and you are loved.— hayley from Paramore 🌺 (@yelyahwilliams) October 28, 2020
Context being that fans had dug up a recent facebook comment by Josh that compared homosexuality to pedophilia.

Listening to this so I can vote. It holds up pretty well doesn't it

I admit I still prefer After Laughter by a fair bit, just for the sheer consistency, and the audacious, possibly total absence of love songs

"pool" is a love song afaict but otherwise yes

ah true, it's always been my least fave on the album and that might explain why lol
