Paramore - This Is Why (February 10, 2023) Album • Page 95

looking at their career arc, imo AL feels more like a deviation than this

 

i agree with that

 

I strongly disagree, songs like Tell Me How can fit on any of their albums

 

and I find that to be a wild statement but you know different strokes ha.

 

Yet it’s not actually on an album at all.

 

Oh 100% different strokes I hope folks realize I don't think I'm always right lmao

 

What

 

Okay, maybe I’m drunk and I don’t know it somehow.

 

Someone already said this, but I think there’s a pretty clear thread that can be traced between TIW and S/T. Songs like Fast In My Car, Now, and even stuff like Future, Grow Up, and Be Alone definitely share some DNA with the stuff on this album.

 

definitely didn’t get that vibe, so no worries. and all things considered I don’t even really see AL as a deviation, per se. I think their trajectory makes a lot of sense overall, I guess for me that’s just the one where they leaned the most into their pop sensibilities over their rock ones on the whole, and it feels like their most “textural” record from a production standpoint if that makes any sense.

 

Fast In My Car's pre-chorus really paved the way for a lot of concepts in the new record. id even say its one of their most important songs in retrospect

 

Unrelated to any of this but I ALMOST sang that’s what you get at karaoke last Friday at an almost empty gay bar in Maine but chickened out and sang sugar we’re going down instead

 

Also- looks like this will debut at #3 on the billboard 200 with 50k

 

Aw man I missed this, I hope it gets uploaded soon

 

Thank you random YouTuber

 

It was a little out of sync. But I still loved it.

 

It’s the closer on After Laughter. Maybe you thought about a singles club song or something

 

The other Swifites are going to be afraid of me when Paramore plays Running Out of Time in AZ

 

my brain keeps thinking the beginning of Liar is Descansos and every single listen I go “man, this is over already?” and then instantly remember its only track 8

 

The reality is that I genuinely thought No Friend was the closer. And my brain has no memory of Tell Me How until recently and I assumed it was a b-side. Not sure what happened there.

 

Everyone's favorite part of this website

TIW
BNE
AL

S/T


AWIF
R!

another ranking of how likely I am to listen to these albums over the next few months

 

I know for a lot of folks it’s where the album dips but imo Liar and Crave, gun to my head, might be my favorite two back-to-back tracks here.

 

crave >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 

I haven’t settled into knowing the names of any individual songs outside the singles yet, which I guess one could argue as a ding against it. But, there’s no point where I don’t really dig what I’m hearing. It’s consistent in a good way and flows so nicely.

I’m sure I’ll hone in on which particular songs are favorites with more time.
