Sapient.: Paramore Self-titled Album Opinions?

Atari 04.01.13	guess the whole album stream is on youtube. i'll check it out but i stopped caring about them a while ago
ILJ 04.01.13	gotta agree with andcas on this one. i didn't like either of the singles on their own but i actually enjoyed them quite a bit more in the context of the rest of the album. although "still into you" is still a bit beyond my cheese tolerance and has a cringeworthy moment here and there.
Sapient. 04.01.13	I think the singles were not great choices for a first impression of their new style, but within context of the album they fit very well
Atari 04.01.13	i hope fast in my car is one of the singles cause it's terrible
Sapient. 04.01.13	ironically, i think it was just released as a single (at least that's what it said on wikipedia earlier)
ILJ 04.01.13	yeah that one is one of my least favorites on the album.
Atari 04.01.13	after hearing the first 2 songs i'm thinking they should have just stopped while they were ahead but i'll give the rest of them a fair chance.
Sapient. 04.01.13	Brand New Eyes probably would've gotten the edge over this if it replaced The Only Exception with something else...
GnarlyShillelagh 04.01.13	FUCK HER WOLF HALEY ROBBIN EM
Sapient. 04.01.13	see, I really like Looking Up and Misguided Ghosts unlike some people, so the second half has a different impact on me but as time goes on I probably will push this above BNE, I think it may just be a lot to digest at first
Atari 04.01.13	i feel like all the punk elements from riot are completely gone now this is just pop
Atari 04.01.13	meh i miss the punk edge on riot they'll never make a song as good as misery business.
Atari 04.01.13	no way that song rules so did ignorance
Sapient. 04.01.13	It's a good song and definitely has some fun stuff to play on guitar, but it's nowhere near what people hold it up to be
Atari 04.01.13	yeah it may have been overplayed but come on that chorus man.....WHOOOOOAHHHH I NEVER MEANT TO BRAAAAGGGGGG
ILJ 04.01.13	born for this is the best song they've made.
Storm In A Teacup 04.01.13	I like them but it reminds me of how I've fucked up with girls and then I sad
Atari 04.01.13	and i liked brand new eyes because even though it seemed to lean more towards pop there were still songs like careful and ignorance that sounded like they could have been on riot.
Sapient. 04.01.13	well, Born For This has the Refused reference going for it which is a plus, but yeah it's pretty great
Spec 04.01.13	I should just get the discography why not.
Sapient. 04.01.13	even though I like the punk sound of Riot!, I just can't help feeling the immaturity in some of the songs... Brand New Eyes I rank over it mainly cause it has a good combo of upbeat punkish numbers and more mature songs as well, and the new album, while not as punk and more pop-influenced, definitely feels more grown up
Atari 04.01.13	ok this is growing on me some now
Cygnatti 04.01.13	New album sucks.
Atari 04.01.13	still don't care for the first 2 songs though but nah it doesn't suck
Cygnatti 04.01.13	Their first albums were good though. Do they suck now?
Trebor. 04.01.13	shit
Atari 04.01.13	no they're just a different band now it's pretty much pop rock no punk
Trebor. 04.01.13	why would anyone want to listen to pop rock
Atari 04.01.13	cause it's happy and it's nice out
Storm In A Teacup 04.02.13	Damn straight I'm bout to be getting pop rock pop punk and pop hop on this summer maybe even some pop metal on the rainy days
Sapient. 04.02.13	Just bumped this from a 4 to a 4.5, don't care, I really think this is their best album
Atari 04.02.13	it's definitely not that bad I still think the first 2 songs suck though. The river though....damn
Atari 04.02.13	err ain't it fun whatever should just be called the river lol
Cygnatti 04.02.13	Pop rock is awesome because a lot of the time, it's catchier than pop punk.
Atari 04.02.13	do you like this cyg? listen from track 3 and on
Sapient. 04.02.13	yeah, the first two tracks are probably the weakest, but it just gets better and better from there
Cygnatti 04.02.13	No, I don't.
Atari 04.02.13	@Cyg, sigh lol you usually like pop goddamn you
Atari 04.02.13	the "interludes" rule
Cygnatti 04.02.13	I like certain kinds of pop, just like andcas like certain kinds of pop. Not all.
Sapient. 04.02.13	agreed, some people have said otherwise, but I think that they help keep the album flow
Atari 04.02.13	@cyg, it's cool from now on i'll just assume if i like an album you don't like it : 3
Cygnatti 04.02.13	That's not true atari. That's not true.
Atari 04.02.13	it's true in most cases lol
Wolfhorde 04.02.13	lame band
Cygnatti 04.02.13	the graduate balance and comp turnover darkthrone elliott smith JT man overboard manic street preachers
Atari 04.02.13	lmao i'm just messing with you chip but i could make a list 3 times as long about bands we disagree on ;)
Cygnatti 04.02.13	Maybe I have unique taste! And besides, it's not like it's just you and Andcas I tend to disagree with. It's errybuddy.
Kimm 04.02.13	I just jammed this album with a friend on our two hour drive back to University. We both thought it was pretty good, but prefer Paramore's original sound. That said, in an objective view in which all expectations are set aside...I can dig it. Some songs are better than others (duh) but overall I'd say it's dece.
Atari 04.02.13	first 2 songs should be cut
toxin. 04.02.13	listening now
toxin. 04.02.13	wow i hate this so far
Kimm 04.02.13	"the last song should be cut as it's pointless, boring, and annoying as hell" Agreed. "first 2 songs should be cut" Actually dig the first one.
toxin. 04.02.13	one of these songs is really good, can't tell with the youtube stream. proof maybe? loving the poppy chorus, even if i miss the "punk" of misery business or w/e
Atari 04.02.13	i hated it at first too toxin but there's more than one good song. album gets better at like track 4
toxin. 04.02.13	yeah there are some solid tracks in here. most of the slower tempoed tracks don't do much for me though. the one i'm listening to right now (towards the end of the album) is pretty good though
Atari 04.02.13	it's definitely a mixed bag i'm anxious to see a review for it.
Cygnatti 04.02.13	I am.
Cygnatti 04.03.13	Or some disappointed pop punk-loving hack, or some happily surprised pop punk-loving hack. We won't know. But we can only hope Downer gives it the Abraham treatment.
Cygnatti 04.03.13	I still don't get his review, but whatever.
Vespiion 04.03.13	I didn't like it. I haven't given it a second spin yet, but it just didn't catch me the first time.
