Paramore - After Laughter (May 12th, 2017) Album • Page 33

Enjoying the discussion.

And definitely not the place to ask but since we're already talking about recommendations, are there any albums that are similar to Hotelier (Goodness, Noplace) and Mansions (Dig up the Dead, Doom Loop) that released in the last 2 or 3 years? I haven't been up to speed in that span and I'm pretty sure I missed some gems.

 

i'm so glad now now is putting something out soon to finally get those fans down from the roof, haha

 

I would go to bat for The Sidekicks' Awkward Breeds

 

I know for my part I tend to go on binges where I will listen to just tons and tons of new albums I've never heard - new or old, and I really love doing that and just opening myself up to new things. I like to challenge myself to listen to something that I normally wouldn't/that's outside of my comfort zone. But at the end of those binges I do usually end up - I don't want to say "bored" - but I start longing for music I'm familiar with; something I can sing along to and that I am already comfortable with (and Paramore is one of the very first bands that always ends up back on my playlist in those situations). I'm also fortunate to be able to listen to music when I'm at work all day, which makes it a lot easier to digest new albums, because if I couldn't, I'd maybe listen to 1/4 of what I do now. On my drive home or at the end of the day, I'm probably just trying to jam to Hard Times for the 3,572nd time. This discussion has just made me realize how weird music is and our subjective enjoyment of it all.

 

I'm a bit worried about my well-being if we get new Now, Now on top of this album on Friday.

 

well i'll recommend the new emperor x album again for the hotelier similarities, he's a little weirder but his voice sounds like christian at times and they've played together a bunch and christian has even played as part of chad's band

 

You and me both

 

for real though, Threads is a personal classic for me

the news this morning felt too good to be true

 

threads is in my top tier pantheon of records so i am quite excited

along with reconstruction site, emergency and i, and western teleport (though we'll see where the new one lands.....)

 

also this is sort of random but kinda connected

does anyone else use RYM?

I recently brought my account back from the dead and rated a shit ton of stuff but would love to add more ppl / use them for recommendations

 

used to us it a lot to see which records to check out and for when i was genreing my itunes forever ago, haha

 

it's weird going back to a website whose layout looks straight out of 2007 but yknow it's a fun way to catalogue stuff

 

i know they're working on that new site, we'll see when that comes

 

omg I did not know this, that's awesome

 

I go on there to check ratings quite a bit but never actually made an account lol... I still use Sputnikmusic to rate music a lot, even though the community is awful and I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone haha

 

Sonemic: Discover music from any angle.

 

omg !!!!!!!!!

 

oh sputnik, hahaha. i got a bunch of my old writers from there, picked out the cream of the crop mostly, hence why a bunch of them ended up back there as official staff writers haha.

weird community though

 

I'm a contributing writer there currently but honestly never feel like just joining in random discussions in the community anymore, it's become too toxic.

What site do you run? I feel like I've likely heard of it.

 

i had an old site like a few years ago from 2009 to 2014 and just started a fun new project check the avatar text

 

#throwback

 

gahhhhhhhhh sometimes I dream about being able to have been at those shows

 

that's such a weird tour for so many reasons, the band was super young and didn't have any push going at that point and weren't a UK band, and then it took another like three years for them to really start gaining a fanbase

quite a lot of luck that didn't really immediately pan out for them, hah

 

what a week though, the national just started teasing too.

 

remember when Paramore and Janelle Monáe opened for No Doubt
