After Laughter This is Why Brand New Eyes Riot! S/T All We Know is Falling Yeah yeah I've got the new one in second but I SAW THEM LIVE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN APRIL
I saw them once in 2018 and they were incredible, as well as last year I saw Hayley come out to do Misery Business with Billie Eilish at Coachella
I’ve seen them 4 times now. First was the Honda Civic tour they did with NFG lol, twice for After Laughter - the second tour they did came to my home town so I couldn’t not go, and then once for TIW. Every show was insanely good. I tried really hard to go to their fall tour they did before TIW because they were going to play in St. Augustine again, but I wasn’t able to get tickets and the resale was just stupid over priced since it was their first tour in years.

Paramore Riot BNE After Laughter This is Why AWKIF Self-titled remains by far my favourite. I re-listened to This is Why and it's a really solid, consistent record, but it doesn't have the go back factor the top three do. I haven't listened to After Laughter in a while, so it might jump up a tier upon a re-listen. Hayley's first solo album is in tier 2, follow-up in the middle of tier 3.
After Laughter Brand New Eyes All We Know Is Falling Riot! This Is Why Paramore First time I saw them live was at Give It A Name 2006 in Manchester. I think they were still doing the scream parts for 'Emergency' and definitely for 'My Heart'. This was the setlist: All We Know Whoa Here We Go Again Emergency Conspiracy Never Let This Go Pressure My Heart They played the small stage alongside P!ATD. My Chemical Romance headlined with one of their last UK shows before 'The Black Parade' came out. Underoath had just put out 'Define The Great Line'. Billy Talent were blowing up. It was a time.
This has turned into my favorite album. More than any others, it aligns with my current tastes the best. What I mean is I've been on a huge dance-punk, post-punk revival and nu rave kick all year, and it doesn't look like it's going to stop anytime soon. I think it was kickstarted due to the amount of times they would namedrop bands of that scene in pre-release interviews. Of course, the album is more diverse than that but I never realized how much I was craving these specific sounds for all these years, so thanks Paramore!
I had no idea they did a re-release of the newest album with other bands adding their flare Really dug the wet leg cover but, the linda Linda's "the news" is amazing.
Paramore Brand New Eyes Riot! After Laughter All We Know Is Falling This Is Why Amazing After Laughter is my 4th fav album, and even that gets so much love from me, brilliant discography overall.
