Hayley Williams - FLOWERS for VASES / descansos (February 5, 2021) Album • Page 9

the Elliott Smith esque double tracked vox on "Good Grief" >>>>

 

Got to listen to this while driving through a blizzard. Very fitting. I think Inordinary is the one for me right now.

 

HYD is climbing the ranks as my favorite off this.
The melody of the chorus is so memorable, and I love how the lyrics subtly change each go around.

 

really hitting me today how good the ambient/electronic bits weaved into this are

 

This album is definitely really pretty and her vocals and lyrics are amazing but this isn't really the kind of music I tend to go back to very often unless I'm in a very specific mood. Still continue to be incredibly impressed by her and her growth though, it's definitely okay that this particular album isn't really for me, especially one as personal as this clearly is. Still pretty regularly listening to tracks from PFA though

Cannot wait to hear the next Paramore album, I genuinely don't even have a good guess where they're going to take it after this

 

Some of these songs make my feeling feel something.

I seem to recall an interview where Hayley and Taylor hinted they wanted to take things in a slightly heavier, rock-tilted direction, but that could have also just been a fever dream I had.

 

This has been on repeat all weekend at our house. Also just a reminder sent to me by a friend today:

 

i wish a few of these had the bass and drums of petals but overall this is pretty solid

 

I'd be ok with that. Let her solo work be a little more 'out there' while Paramore stays more in the 'rock' lane.

 

I just keep going between having different songs from this record stuck in my head. First Thing to Go, My Limb, Trigger, Just a Lover, Over These Hills, Inordinary... I really love this thing

 

I don't see Wait On getting enough appreciation, so here I am, appreciating it.

"There was a bird that never flew, but she still kept all of her feathers, so she could pluck them out for you" is one of my favorite parts of the album

 

Man her conversations with Zane are always so great. Looking forward to digging into that later

 

was lukewarm on PFA but this feels like an instant classic

 

Can't sing along to Asystole anymore because Siri thinks I'm saying "hey siri" and she interrupts the song

 

I can't remember which one it was, but one of her songs definitely triggered my "Hey Google" while driving today heh

 

I feel like the back half of this album is much, much better. The first few songs just don't do much for me but the album ramps up and up as it goes on ad by it's end, I'm won over. But still, songs like "My Limb" and "Asystole" are just fine.

 

This is really great, maybe the best release I've heard that's associated with Hayley.

 

she dont miss

 

i think i prefer petals and after laughter. but it’s very good.

 

Taylor is Bubbles, Hayley is Blossom, Phoebe is Buttercup

 

I like this album quite a bit, but I like PFA quite a bit more.

Much more into Petals.

 

Ridiculous as usual
