Paramore - After Laughter (May 12th, 2017) Album • Page 71

i thought that was "grudges"

 

Good to hear. It always worries me when everyone has a universal favorite.

 

This isn't really my thing. I enjoyed bits and pieces here and there. Fake Happy was probably my favorite. No Friend is very odd.

 

I had to double-check, but it was definitely Caught in the Middle.

 

26, Caught In The Middle and Idle Worship are the best on my taste after first listen.

 

weird no idea how i misheard that but i guess i was half-paying attention to the interview. can't imagine "caught in the middle" any other way

 

Ya it's one of my favorites on the album, but I'm still curious what the original version sounded like.

 

Honestly surprised how mixed of a reception this is getting on here, I think it's absolutely brilliant

 

I don't think it's been mixed to be honest, I think it's been like 90-95% positive.

 

Growing on me with every listen, and I liked it to begin with.

 

wednesday and thursday were super enthusiastic

 

The whole thing is wonderful and I like Told You So much better with the album's sonic context.

 

Hmm, I guess it's just been a bulk of them close to each other.

 

yea I agree with jason its mostly positive and even when people critique it, it is usually followed with I really enjoyed the album as a whole. I think that all of the positive remarks make the negative ones stick out a bit more.

 

NeoGAF hates it, but they hate everything.

 

What is NeoGAF?

Edit: oh, a video game forum.

 

Gamers.

Color me shocked.

 

Haha. They seriously hate everything, including games. I don't even know why I frequent there anymore.

 

Gamers like disturbed and static x

 

After all the Gamergate/Ghostbuster's stuff, as a whole, I don't really care about their collective opinion at all. Haha. (Not that I did much to begin with.)

 

Oh man I play games too whatever shall I do


Been listening through the album straight for hours now, man.

 

Yeah, I've given it a couple listens. It's not terrible but also not blowing me away at all.

I think the first 6 tracks would make a pretty good EP, but honestly after that...I start to get sick of the "vibe" of this album. The other albums I feel like experimented much more between individual tracks(ex. look at the difference between something like "Aint it fun" and "Future").

My favorite album by them is Brand New Eyes....with Self-titled as second best for me. This album is alright, but ultimately fairly forgettable for me.

 

Why is No Friend even on the album? Genuinely confused by it.

 

bc it is a great song and really informs where the band is right now...

 

Dang I would've loved to hear that -- the island/reggae-ish guitar work and drums on this song probably make it my list favorite track (all based on one listen of the album, hopefully my mind will change).
