Crave's bridge is a CAREER HIGHLIGHT

Crave is that song, instantly fell in love

Can't believe already on the last song  I don't want this album to end 

I was about to write off Thick Skull until I heard the second verse. Good closing track so far

Thick Skull's last chorus 

Wow I'm speechless 

Yeah Crave is definitely the one   

The singles really were the weakest tracks i can't 

What a wild ride. God I wish there was more material, but the album is perfect the way it is so I can't fault them for keeping it at 10 songs. Off to bed, and then plan on listening to this non-stop tomorrow. I am exhausted yet floored

As if Paramore would ever release bad music

Final thoughts: pretty good album! I liked it much more than I expected to. However, this is easily at the bottom of my album ranking for Paramore. Not necessarily a bad thing, they raised the bar so high with their previous releases. 

 

Ranking on first listen:

 

Crave

Running Out of Time

You First

This is Why

Liar

Big Man, Little Dignity

The News

Thick Skull

Figure 8

CCC

This Is God = Self-slayage > Brand New Gospel > After Slayage > All We Know Is Slayage > RIOT!

Right  they don't have a single bad album

this was EXCELLENT!  figure 8, big man, little dignity, & running out of time are my favorites on first listen! this album peaked my expectations! i knew this record would be them having a lot more fun and it was that and more! idk where i’d rank in their entire discography yet but wow they really know how to make a project!

Imagine not choosing Paramore during your emo/scene awakening while the other bands like Panic! and FOB have released.....duds for the last few years, Paramore leaned into themselves and keep creating masterpieces

Self-Titled

Brand New Eyes

After Laughter

RIOT!

All We Know Is Falling

This is Why

 

Love them all

I have to give the album more listens to really know where to rank it, but for me it's definitely in the upper half 

You first is THE SONG off the album for me, what a banger and those lyrics whew 

Then Crave, Thick Skull, Liar and the rest. Definitely need a couple more listens to this album, but wow - they really delivered. Can't believe it's been almost 6 years

I'm glad everyone is loving this! I'm going to head off to sleep but will be streaming on repeat for the next 8 months

This is true, Paramore is the only band that haven't released a dud album unlike their peers, we chose the right band

Absolutely this! The way their creativity and musicianship shines more and more with each record is insane. You never know in which direction they'll go and yet it's always something exciting and good. Others truly can't relate. 

Oh wow this album is excellent   it amazes me how they are always so consistent with their quality. They really saved the best for the album. The only song I don't love is C'est Comme Ca.

Loving this. 

AWKIF > TIW > BNE > RIOT > ST > AL

Well... I Just listen to the album.... I was not expecting this sound, they clearly go with a not commercial sound, for some reason I was expecting something more like "The News" for this album sound I was ready for them to revive punk sound like some of their peers

 

Sonically is interesting

 

My fave 3: The News, Crave & Running Out Of Time

 

Overall great, but Im not obsessed with this project
