I remember her being asked a lot about Avril in the beginning of the Riot promo cycle. They even covered a small portion of Sk8er Boi in 2006.

AL had some cute songs but anything from Riot and BNE slaps to this day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it strange that Paramore tried to distance themselves from the Avril comparisons back in the 00s, and today Hayley is praising Avril. And I always thought that Paramore stans hated Avril.

And I don't get how AL wasn't called Paramore's 'sellout' album, while The Best Damn Thing was called Avril's 'sellout' album.

After Laughter has always been my favorite since its release, it felt like a trimmed down version of Self Titled except much more cohesive because it felt like they were finally brave enough to reinvent themselves entirely. I didn't like ST either. It was a big clunky album with poppy stuff (Ain't It Fun) mixed in with their classic-sounding stuff (Daydreaming).

It’s not because you want to explore new sounds that you sell out, especially when you drop an entire album about mental health and depression. It was a deep and mature album that wasn’t in the trend of what was popular in 2017. As much as I love Avril, you can’t compare it to TBDT which was just her working with Dr. Luke and making fun pop radio-friendly music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutthroat Posted June 21, 2022 Author Share Posted June 21, 2022 Not people trying to call After Laughter a sellout album. I love Avril, but she could only dream about having an album like that under her belt. That critically acclaimed masterpiece is top tier Paramore.

I think after Jeremy left the band, Taylor became the main member of Paramore/he took more creative control (ever since self titled actually) hayley also talked about how they were influenced by new wave and older music plus she was tired of head banging songs On 6/18/2022 at 9:37 PM, Jooj said: I think if fits their lyrics much better.

While I love self titled, I think some songs feel like they have rough edges and feel like they need it to be polished a bit and then AF is their best work yet, they keep outdoing themselves and AF feels like they are truly themselves and how they feel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceOddity Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 After Laughter is one of my favorite albums and I don't even stan Paramore. I'd kill for them to continue going down that route but I guess I'm in the minority? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankspace2010 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 After Laughter is Paramore’s best work and their most alternative. Synths don’t make a pop song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
