Paramore - After Laughter (May 12th, 2017) Album • Page 128

Future is literally one of the best songs this band has ever done.

 

The first half is my favourite part of the album and one of my favourite things they've ever done. Second half is pretty whatever but I can deal.

 

i never listen to future, the fade-out kills the song imo

 

Haha, this is probably against the consensus too but I think Paramore has always been pretty bad at writing closers

 

Yeah when I listened to the album earlier this year for the first time since 2013 I was really thrown off by the fade-out. Like, what?

 

Really? I think they're pretty great. They're never my favourite song on the album but usually towards the top and I think they all feel like closers.

 

They definitely feel like closers, I just don't think they're very good for the most part. I think all of them are in my bottom half of their respective albums

 

uhhhh...guys? "all i wanted"?????

 

All I Wanted is an amazing closer/song and the new album has a pretty good one too (forget what it's called though haha)

 

All I Wanted and Tell Me How are beautiful. Heck, I think Born For This is great too.

 

first time i listened to s/t i was floored by how much i liked it but it has fallen off far for me. i think part II, grow up, daydreaming, aint it fun, last hope and future are top tier paramore songs, but almost all the others range from meh to bad for me.

 

born for this rules but it's definitely not a stereotypical closer.

 

My Heart is one of three songs I still listen to from the debut, even with the bad screams, ha.

 

Born for This is my favorite closer but it's still not close to a highlight on that album

 

yup, hahaha.

emergency the best tho

 

never forget!!!!

 

Never Let This Go has always been my favourite from that album. Emergency is probs like 4 for me.

 

imagine if paramore had ridden the hawthorne heights train instead of doing what they have done

 

also what the fuck? paramore covered failure on that EP? that's wild, lol, especially knowing how young they were then

 

if i remember correctly, someone from failure produced it as well.

to chime in on the other conversation, i tried to reorder and cut up the s/t once and while i know it's overly long, i couldn't ever figure out a way to put those songs together that made more sense than what they came up with. the only ones i'd truly get rid of are crazy girls and HTSYHB. (it's just sooo boring.) i would have really liked to see escape route on the album.

 

Couldn't cut anything from this, it's all great

 

for what its worth we probably would have gotten some awesome songs nonetheless

 

Not a single song on After Laughter that I'd cut. Grudges is probably my least favorite, but even that song feels essential to the tracklist. On S/T I wouldn't necessarily cut anything, but if Be Alone and the interludes were gone it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

 

Grudges is one of my favorite songs here, I'm surprised that one's unpopular.

 

It's a top 3 song on the album for me
