Okay, so first off, I do not do reviews. I have been an amazon customer for over two years, placing orders on nearly a bi-weekly basis and this is my first review. I just felt that this album deserved it. This album is different from what we expect from Paramore but that is to be expected. With all they have gone through change is due, with losing the Farro Brothers, I'm surprised they managed to remain as true as they did to what we are used to.
In this album, we hear a much more optimistic band. With nearly four years since their last album, this album shows paramore taking risks, and emerging from their comfort zone. They are developing their range, and quite frankly I think that's amazing. In this album, many people suggest that the band is more "pop", but I don't think these people have listened to the full album. There are some songs up here that are unique to say the least, but you can hear the old paramore we all fell in love with throughout the album. The highlights of this album are Part II, which incorporates lyrics from "Let the flames begin" from Riot. This is too awesome to me being able to hear those lyrics revived and relived. Last hope takes us back to the softer paramore, such as the only exception, breath, and many songs from the first album. There are a few other slow songs up here as well, like future and hate to see your heart break. While slow, they show the purity of Hayley's voice. Other highlights include Still into you, and despite having a pop like verse, the chorus takes us back to that alternative band. You find that a lot in this album, verses incorporate things that are totally different from what we are used to, but the choruses often times stay the same, which we see in Still into you, now, Proof, and Ani't it fun. This album shows a funner paramore, in songs like crazy girls, and fast in my car.
While it is true they have matured, we see in this album a reborn Paramore. This album is by no means as great as All we know is falling, which in my opinion was their greatest work, but it is still an album that magnifys one of the greatest bands ever. Haley shows us a different side of her, and in the lyrics, we see a band that is so incredibly happy, and optimistic. It is different, and many scruitenize this album because of that, but once you listen to the entire album once, your hooked. You hear the old paramore still in there, alongside a new paramore that is just trying to show how much they have grown in the past four years. Wonderful album, I have listed to it cover to over about eight times, which translates into about nine hours in two days. It is well worth it, and with 17 tracks, you can't go wrong. One note is there are two bonus tracks, which are not included on the physical album but can be listened to on rido for free. These are escape route, which is the old Paramore one hundred percent. I highly recommend you listen to this, because this is by far the best song for this album, and seems like many of the songs on the third album. The other bonus track is "native tongue" which is decent, but not the cream of the crop.
All in all this album does not disappoint. The cream of the crop lays in Last hope (my personal favorite), Part II, Ain't it fun, crazy girls, proof
and the best is escape route, but unfourtantly it's not on the physical album

I must admit that for the longest time, i truly despised Paramore. For no particular reason (except maybe their fans, but that's a stupid reason to dislike something). Finally, I listened to Riot! and was hooked instantly (truly shocking because my fave bands are Marilyn Manson, NIN, Ministry, ect). Around that time I started reading all the articles about how Hayley Williams split with the original dudes and was making a dramatic return. I thought that Paramore was probably over before I could even fully get into them....
Skip forward a couple months to the release of the single "Now", and i downloaded it cuz...well, it's only a dollar right? I put it onto a random playlist and was blown away by how good it was--almost instantly! Later that night i ordered the album.
It was extra tantalizing waiting for the record to arrive, because it took weeks longer than the seller had informed me (that's what i get for going the cheaper route). It was gonna have to be a damn good record for how long i waited for it. Finally, i lost all interest in hearing it as I decided to listen to Riot! on my walk home one warm spring day. It was a semi-rough day, so it felt nice to chill out and listen to it all the way home at a nice, leisurely pace. I got home, and to my amazement, a small brown package laid waiting in my mailbox!
This particular album had become something of a ridiculous myth in my mind, so I was slightly hesitant to actually listen to it. I decided to eat some dinner first. The wait eventually became waaaaayyyy too brutal so i put it on while making dinner...WOW. I was astonished by how much i liked it upon first listen! I usually need to warm up to new CDs (even ones that are now my very favorites), so this came as quite a surprise. In fact, EVERY song was 10/10, even the "Interludes", which I usually don't like on most records.
In short, if you like Paramore, you'll LOVE this album. If you like solid, well-written rock music with infectious hooks, you'll LOVE this album. If you don't know how you feel about them, this is a great one to start with. Another prime example of why 2013 is shaping up to be one of the greatest years in music I've ever experienced. Not to be missed!

I am in love with how this record looks! It's more of a darker toned, red under base coloured orange but it's great! The record is a semi-transparent, which I'd rather prefer than an opaque one. Nonetheless, awesome buy for Paramore fans :)

Perfecto. Es un álbum tan colorido, tan trabajado musicalmente, que, de verdad, aunque no te guste el grupo, merece que le des una oportunidad. La voz de Hayley ha mejorado muchísimo y también la composición musical. Sin duda, es un disco con un sonido algo más 'pop', pero sigue poseyendo la esencia de Paramore y el álbum la transforma un poco en algo más soft. ¡Hazte con él! Merece la pena, te lo prometo.
5.0 out of 5 stars Un gran bel ritorno

La banalità del titolo si spiega col fatto che, dopo i litigi che hanno portato all'allontanamento dei 2 fratelli Farro, questo è come una rinascita, un nuovo capitolo.
La musica che ci offrono i 3 superstiti (non ci sono state aggiunte al momento nella formazione) mostra segni di cambiamento evidenti.
Alcuni hanno detto che sono diventati più pop, e non è falso, ma il loro nuovo aspetto pop non va inteso come musica più commerciale o banale, anzi. A differenza di altri che hanno annacquato la loro musica o hanno perso la loro ragione d'essere ricercando solo la hit da classifica i Paramore non hanno perso le caratteristiche principali, la loro musica rimane altamente energetica, frizzante, veloce ed orecchiabile, però hanno aggiunto altri sapori e spezie alla loro ricetta, che nel disco precedente iniziava a dare segnali di stanchezza.
Ed ecco quindi accenni funky in Aint it fun echi reggae in Crazy Girls[, pop alla Blondie in Day Dreaming, ballate soft come Hate to see you heart break[. vi sono poi tre pezzi denominati interlude, che sono appunto dei brevi interludi di tipo acustico/country, molto gradevoli, che creano dei diversivi sonori. Anche i pezzi più sul vecchio stile risultano così più gradevoli e pezzi come PArtII , Still into you e Be Alone sono maledettamente trascinanti ed orecchiabili. Forse non tutto tutto è all'altezza, le prime 3 canzoni, tra cui Now, non sono eccezionali, ma il resto del disco è veramente bello e sorprendente, come la chiusura di Future, un pezzo che parte lento, poi si eclissa per poi ritornare con una progressione rock degna quasi del prog rock anni 70.
Tirando le somme ho l'impressione che sia il migliore disco dei Paramore e, alla fine, potrebbe essere uno dei migliori dischi dell'anno.
