Paramore - After Laughter (May 12th, 2017) Album • Page 144

this except with the notable exception of Rose Colored Boy which is incredible to me.

 

that might be the best right now but i'm stretching to call it a legitimate "standout"

 

I’d prob say Rose Coloured Boy or Fake Happy could be on my SOTY list, but yeah this flirting with the top 5 for AOTY

 

Fake Happy and Rose Colored Boy are both in my top 10 songs I'd say.

 

Fake Happy is so incredible ham-fisted I am having such a hard time warming up to it :x

 

Funny - that's the only song I'm still not set on. I find the chorus to be a bit irritating.

 

They're all good songs you weirdos

 

"hard times" is absolutely my song of the year after dua lipa's "lost in your light"

 

Rose-Colored Boy, Idle Worship, and Fake Happy are the best songs, but there isn't a single song I dislike on here. After spending a lot of time with it, I'd say this is the band's best work. I love S/T to death, but the conciseness of this record compared to that one gives it the edge.

This will be in my top 5.

 

Told You So is my song of the year. I was hooked on the guitar from the first listen and think the rest is flawless. Pool and Tell me how probably round out my top 3 on the record with idle worship and Fake happy right behind. Then rose colored boy. This is an easy album to me to rank songs within haha

 

NO THEY CANT BE

 

this album uses space soo well

 

I've gone back and forth on this one a lot, but now I think it's their best album. I'm not a big fan of 26, Caught in the Middle, or the last two songs, but everything else is very strong.

 

Caught in the Middle is elite

 

I think this is joint with BNE as their second best for me. Self titled is my favourite but this could overtake that.

 

I already loved Rose-Colored Boy, but seeing them close the show out with it a few weeks ago cemented it as one of my favorite Paramore songs. Maybe my favorite. Definitely in my top songs this year.

So so good.

 

Lyrically, I'm cool on "Caught in the Middle", but musically/rhythmically it's a total jam. Fake Happy and Idle Worship are my favorites. The only song I can say I'm not all that crazy about is "Forgiveness". After the album kicks off with 3 bangers it kinda slows everything down a little too abruptly IMO. To it's credit, the swing in the rhythm of the bridge is really cool though. Overall, the album ties with BNE as my favorite album from the band.

 

Totally. Zac and JMJ are a match made in rhythm section heaven, allowing Taylor and Hayley to utilize their instruments more creatively. I also appreciate how Hayley doesn't over-use her upper-register on this album. She's got a beautiful voice regardless of which register she's using, but I thought it was cool of her to utilize her lower and middle register more than previous albums.

 

according to my fb on this day this was the anniversary of the farros leaving the band

crazy how far this band has come in so many regards

 

Yesterday my friend told me that he thought Hard Times would be better as a Katy Perry song. What a horrible idea.

 

Hard pass. Not that I have anything against Katy Perry, but no.

 

you're no longer friends right?

 

this is the worst music take of the year, just under the wire, wow.

 

i didn't realize you stayed friends with the victoria secret person

 

OMG I don't know what's worse, a random woman asking me to buy her panties or my friend thinking that Paramore would be better if they were Katy Perry.
