Paramore - This Is Why (February 10, 2023) Album • Page 41

Pool is one of their best songs.

 

Should probably go in the Bad Opinions thread lol, but Ain't It Fun is my least favorite. And it's the only Paramore song I would even classify as disliking but I just borderline can't stand it

 

def put that one in the bad opinions thread mate.

 

I agree to an extent

 

I don’t know if it’s my least favorite, but it’s wildly overrated.

Although, I think it won them a Grammy, so what the fuck do I know.

 

Pool is in my Paramore all-time top 5. the instrumental is lowkey giving Minus The Bear

 

I was a big fan back in the day but a lot of the stuff across their first three albums is extremely dated now, but each album has been increasingly better about it. They truly are much better as a “pop” band than a pop punk/scene band. And in general I really don’t care for their acoustic songs

 

The choir in “Ain’t It Fun” is a bit corny, as is basically any choir in a rock song. But it’s still one of their best songs so it’s forgivable

 

"ain't it fun" is one of the ice-coldest pop songs, the choir just adds to that. the gang's all here to tell you things are not going to improve so quit crying lol

 

Quick takes:
Pool is elite tier paramore
Don’t like grudges at all but it’s better than caught in the middle and hard times
The go crying part of ain’t it fun is silly and I don’t like it but it’s still top tier paramore
Careful and Feeling Sorry might be my favorite on BNE, love the guitars and angst
The chorus of playing god is also silly but the rest of the song is incredible

 

Pool is the best song ever made wtf

I do agree Grudges kinda stinks

 

Pool chorus is great but the verses are a little eh

 

I’m the opposite haha, verses of Pool are great and the chorus is the weakest part of the song. Still a fantastic song

 

The “god knows the world doesn’t need another band” part of Looking Up is so corny, but the song is okay.

Ain’t It Fun is a classic, the choir is neither nor there imo.

Grudges is easily the worst on AL but it’s grown on me

 

that fallon performance…legends

all i wanted at wwwy….such legends

 

Grudges is sweet because of the lyrical content - the reunion of Hayley, Zac, and Taylor warms my heart. Musically, the song is a bit of a let down

Pool is gorgeous. Again, it’s elevated by lyricism and Hayley’s delivery, those verse melodies are stunning

I’m very much a vocal + lyrics person so I do understand if people totally disagree lol

 

I’m a casual fan but my favorite song is ain’t it fun and the new one.

 

Ain't It Fun either in spite of or because every time I hear it for a split second I'm like is this Cruel Summer by Bananarama

 

I just heard Ain't It Fun so much back when it came out that even to this day I don't have much desire to go back to it

 

Hearing it twice a day at work doesn't help me lol

 

I adore Grudges and am always bummed to know I’m in the minority there

 

my favorite Paramore song is Part II

 

I mean if we're talking corny let's address the elephant in the room - the chorus of Thats What You Get is absolute cheese. Don't get me wrong, adore the song, but that chorus 100% sounds like it was written by teenagers where the rest of the songs doesn't imo.

 

Good choice.

 

Pool’s build up intro >>>>>>>>
