Paramore - After Laughter (May 12th, 2017) Album • Page 114

The slow songs on this album .....just not for me. I've heard better from this better band.

I hate to see your heart break is still the king

 

the synth before the beat kicks in in Fake Happy is so hype

 

Yeah usually they're among my favourites but I kinds get bored of these two. When It Rains is still my number 1.

 

26 and No Friends are the only tracks I skip. The rest of the album as a whole is equally favorited for me.

 

I realized there's not a single Paramore ballad I don't really like, but I'd probably rank em this way:

10. In the Mourning
9. The Only Exception
8. We Are Broken
7. Hate to See Your Heart Break
6. Forgiveness
5. When It Rains
4. Tell Me How
3. Misguided Ghosts
2. Last Hope
1. 26

I just really, really love 26.

 

Yeah 26 is cool

 

the spotify playlist of influences for the record is very cool:

 

FUN FACT: Selena Gomez is obsessed with Talking Heads. I would have never thought she'd like them.

 

My ranking would be quite different but what a great idea. 1-5 and 6-9 could all change by the hour.

1. Tell me how
2. In the mourning
3. Last hope
4. Misguided ghosts
5. The only exception
6. 26
7. When it rains
8. We are broken
9. Forgiveness
10. Hate to see your heart break

 

I think Decode is a great song. I've heard some negative stuff about but I like it.

 

I've woke up every day this week with a different song stuck in my head. Today was Caught in the Middle.

Love Decode.

 

This album was great to play for my Memorial Day party

 

I listened to it 4 times on a 6 hour car ride yesterday. Still don't really like caught in the middle.

 

love caught in the middle. only one I'm not so keen on is grudges. I find the way she works the word grudges into the chorus awkward

 

I didn't like the first single they put out at first. But the whole album has really grown on me. I'm enjoying this a lot. Tell Me How is definitely my favorite as of now.

 

Hard Times came on while I was shopping today. What a fucking jam.

 

I found Caught in the Middle to be a bit much after a few repeats. I've gone back to liking it a lot. I think it's just a bit grating on the ears after a little bit. She hits the word "middle" in kind of a shrill way on the second repeat of the line.

 

Easily still my favorite track. 1-3 are solid gold Paramore songs.

 

It's cool that people can listen to a record multiple times in a row. That was Acceptance for me.

 

It's strange to me now thinking about the days as a teen when I used Napster and Limewire, and would only ever care to download singles. When I got to about 18 I began downloading full album zip files (sue me) and began looking more towards hearing the meat of an album and a full release rather than ever replay the same 5 or 6 songs from all my favorite bands. Crazy to think some of my all time favorite albums I only ever had a handful of songs off of for YEARS before I wised up.

 

Whoa, blast from the past haha Limewire conditioned me to only listen to singles. Just recently I started listening to whole albums.

 

This album is helping me so much with my mental health issues, be it dysmorphy, dysphory, depression, social phobia, self-doubt, everything really. Hayley's words may seem straightforward or cliché (that whole conversation the other day was weird but whatever), but she gets her points across in a simple way and it is what matters the most afterall. For such a depressing record, it is making me so much happier and making me look forward to my future with less stress.

 

Yeah, it's like the lyrics are kind of depressing but then it's a happy 80s-esque sound.

 

Suuuuper late for the ranking party, but here goes nothing:

1: Careful
2: Decode
3: Brick by Boring Brick
4: Stop this Song
5: Part II
6: Misery Business
7: All I wanted
8: Pressure
10: Born For This

 

Add My heart and take out Part II and that's almost my exact list.
