Paramore - After Laughter (May 12th, 2017) Album • Page 95

That was the biggest outlier to me too

 

I'm listening to it for the first time right now. I think it's kind of a jam, quite unlike most of their work.

 

I don't think it's a bad song, just clearly not top 10, or even top 35 in their catalogue for me.

It sounds a lot like Taylor trying to imitate Josh's songwriting style in the wake of the Farros' departure before finding his own unique songwriting style

(he's even admitted to that happening in the Zane Lowe interview)

 

if i were making a weird personal paramore top ten that didn't reflect any sort of external reality it'd be like

proof
born for this
i caught myself
ignorance
told you so
ain't it fun
tell me how
last hope
where the lines overlap
feeling sorry

 

tbf "renegade" is prob my favorite song from the singles club but i think all of those songs are kinda not great paramore songs. made me really worry for how the s/t was going to turn out

 

For a Pessimist I'm Pretty Optimistic
That's What You Get
Ignorance
Playing God
Feeling Sorry
Where the Lines Overlap
Still Into You
Proof
Fake Happy
Grudges

Not in order, but there they are.

 

In the Mourning is still my favourite of their acoustic songs.

 

my single favorite moment in the paramore discography is probably "gimme attention.... i need it nowwwww" in "where the lines overlap"

 

Playing God
Ain't It Fun
Grow Up
Where the Lines Overlap
Proof
Turn It Off
Last Hope
Ignorance
That's What You Get
I Caught Myself

(too early to put AL songs in)

 

wow literally 100% same

 

If I could include honorable mentions they'd be Grow Up, Rose Colored Boy, and Pool

 

Mine is the bridge of Turn it Off. Can't really think of a close second either.

 

Never Let This Go/When it Rains
For a Pessimist
Last Hope
Careful
Daydreaming
Future
Ain't it Fun
Brick By Boring Brick
Playing God

 

Lol, I haven't done a list in forever, even though almost every thread devolves into rankings

So here goes:
All I Wanted
Playing God
Brick by Boring Brick
Hello Cold World
Idle Worship
Told You So
Tell Me How
One of those crazy girls
Part II
Misguided ghosts

 

god "proof" is the best song in the world

 

I lose my MIND during Proof's bridge

 

I came prepared:

That's What You Get
Last Hope
For A Pessimist...
Misguided Ghosts
Idle Worship
Ain't It Fun
Let The Flames Begin/Part II
Careful
Tell Me How
Future

That list is extremely tentative and will likely change again by the end of the week. I think my honorable mentions would go to When It Rains, Ignorance, and Grow Up. Maybe In The Mourning.
EDIT: and Proof. Fuck, this is too hard. This band is too good.

 

Oh ok we're doing this? I love lists so here's mine:

Ain't It fun
Grow Up
Decode
For a Pessimist
That's What You Get
Careful
Playing God
Last Hope
Turn It Off
Where the Lines Overlap

I'm not ready to include After Laughter yet, since it's all still so fresh.

 

Also I feel I have to include some mention of the live version of Future, but that wasn't included on my list since there's not an officially released recorded version of the song.

 

10) Idle Worship
9) Ignorance
8) Looking Up
7) Misery Business
6) That's What You Get
5) Pool
4) Rose-Colored Boy
3) Feeling Sorry
2) Hard Times
1) Ain't It Fun

Edit: if you can't tell, After Laughter is the first album to really stick with me.

 

Something like this I guess

Brick By Boring Brick
Daydreaming
Ain't It Fun
Proof
Anklebiters
Fences
For A Pessimist
Born For This
In The Mourning
Hard Times

 

Now that's a damn good list.

 

where the fuck is let the flames begin everyone???

 

this was from that tumblr thing a while back it's still kinda right

 

That's one of my least favs on Riot! Never really got the love for that song.
