Paramore - 'This Is Why'

I think this is a fantastic album and probably my 2nd favorite of theirs... but I was expecting this to be more immediate for some reason? An album like Raven I knew I was going into it expecting it to be a grower record, but I'm kinda surprised this is likely gonna be the same.

My favorites off the first listen:

 

Running Out of Time

You First

Liar

Crave

Thick Skull

 

What a great album - definitely chose wrong promo singles, I feel like that scared everyone into thinking it wouldn’t be good.


Now that This Is Why has peaked on Alternative, I’m genuinely curious to see what’s next! Fingers crossed it’s either ROOT or Crave!

Omg on You First this is true alternative music. I’m obsessed. C’est Comme Ca is the only one I can’t get into so far. 
 

The melodies, the production, the concepts. This is a piece of art.

i didnt like any of the singles but some user here said crave is decode 2.0 so i cant wait to listen

 

also.. not pitch4k giving them 6.3 and their metacritic score is 91 :redface:

Posted

‘you first’ and ‘thick skull’ are my standouts on first listen.


got my CD/tshirt bundle delivered this morning 😎

Am I the only one with Figure 8 on loop :jonny:

 

After p4k gave Ethel Cain a 6.4 for the aoty that she made I just know I can’t take them seriously most of the time

I feel like this record, especially the "muted" sounds it overall has, is heavily inspired by Hayley's solo music. I really like the sound they decided to go for, I just find it at times a little bit repetitive. Great record, tho.

Having my first listen now :jonny4:

That side B is absolutely brilliant :jonny:

Figure 8, You First and Crave are my top3 out of the new songs. Might change later though. The acclaim is very much deserved....and I think people who miss the *old* Paramore will really like certain songs on here. I don't hear much of Hayley's solo work except on Liar :penguin: Either way it's definitely coming for AWKIF as my 3rd favorite album from them (BNE & Self-Titled are just unmatched for me). 

 

I don't get how you have these fantastic songs and decide to choose f**king C'est Comme Ca as a single. But anyway.

 

Ranking from first couple listens:

You First

Figure 8

The News

Crave

This Is Why

Thick Skull

Big Man, Little Dignity

Running Out Of Time

Liar

C'est Comme Ca

I haven’t looked at any posts in here as I’m trying to avoid reviews before I’ve heard the album for myself, but I won’t be able to listen until later today when I’m home from work. I hope everybody is enjoying it and I can’t wait to listen! :WAP:

I’m not even that big of a Paramore fan but I’ve just checked out the album this morning and I have to admit it’s a serve :clap3:

 

Big Man, Little Dignity and You First are my faves on first listen
