Hey everyone! Recently Paramore's new self titled album Paramore came out, and I totally forgot to review it, but I'm here now, so let's jump right in. Note- This won't be a track by track review, but rather an overall review.
The album starts out pretty strong with Fast in My Car, but at some parts of this song the lyrics didn't fit and they just crammed them in, making the song sound really awkward at some points. However, it was a pretty nice start to the album. From there the album goes to the song Now, which has a great beat, is very catchy, and showcases Hayley Williams' beautiful voice very well. Grow Up is titled very properly. That's because this song has very refined sound, and shows how much Paramore has grown over the years. From there the album moves to Daydreaming, which is also titled very properly, as I was daydreaming through this whole, boring song. The album then moves to their first interlude. The interlude Moving On had a very interesting sound, so I was excited to see what the next part of the album sounded like. The next part of the album started with Ain't It Fun, and it had a more upbeat pop feeling to it, which was a interesting sound for Paramore, but they pulled it off with no trouble at all. The album then moves to Part II, which was a bit of a mix of the first part of the album and Ain't It Fun, which made for a very unique sound, which I enjoyed. Paramore then went to Last Hope, which was a much slower, and even though it did speed up, it took too long, and this song just didn't keep my interest. The ninth song on the album was Still into You, the second single of the album. I can see why this song was picked as a single. While it was still rock, Paramore's strong suit, it was very upbeat, and had a great beat, coupled with Hayley William's great vocals, which made for a great song. Anklebiters kept up with Still into You, with great vocals, a great beat, and a quick speed. There the album switched gears again with Interlude: Holiday, which sounded almost folk like, and was very different for Paramore. Probably a bit too different, as it just didn't sound right to me. But luckily, the next song, Proof, didn't sound like the interlude, however, it sounded just like the rest of the album, and didn't really offer anything new. It was the same situation with the next song, Hate to See Your Heart Break, which was a very slow song, which dragged on much too long in my opinion. The rest of the album followed suit, with some stand outs and some duds. Overall, I really enjoyed this album, and it definitely met my expectations, and I think other Paramore fans were probably very happy as well.
So that's all for this review! Tell me what you thought of this album in the comments below, and I''ll see you next time!
