Paramore - This Is Why (February 10, 2023) Album • Page 74

SAME. I'm not paying attention to lyrics until like, my 5th listen through an album

 

there's songs that i've heard a million times that i still couldn't tell you what a chunk of the lyrics actually are.

 

I also no longer pay that much attention to lyrics because most music consumption nowadays is when I'm working, doing chores, walking place to place in the city, working out, etc. As long as the lyrics aren't absolutely terrible, I really don't mind.

 

Lyrics are priority. Albums without lyrics in liner notes back in the day got less play from me.

 

Me too

 

People need to become prestigious already

 

Coheed are my favorite band, but there are parts of those first four albums I still have no idea what Claudio is saying. Dude had some weird inflections in his singing voice for a while there.

 

most times in the car, my wife and i will be quietly listening to music and she'll be like "oh that's a great line" and i'll ask "what did they say?" haha. i pay attention to the vocal melodies and harmonies before i even pick out the specific words.

 

No offense but yoUuuUuUuuu you got no integrity.

 

The best is when I have my own string of words or nonsensical noises I make whenever I'm singing along to a song I've listened to hundreds of times but never figured out the actual lyrics to a certain part of

 

Didn't the 1975 have a promo pic exactly like this

 

haha me too. i also say "something something something" in place of the actual words.

 

love albums that end with the best material, like this one's final four songs

 

my shit-colored suit went to my head, sorry

 

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I've always been the person who flipped through the cd booklet to see what the lyrics were, and I do the same with vinyl inserts. I also (and still am lol) the person who goes to genius/songmeanings to read the lyrics as I'm listening.

that helped with my first listenthrough of this record, and wow yes i have thoroughly enjoyed it and love the lyrics. "thick skull" really hit hard.

 

Yeah I almost always wait until I can read the lyrics before my first listen. Vocals and lyrics are always my main focal point.

 

Running Out of Time and Thick Skull... Sheesh.

 

LOVING this so far. Just got to Liar.

 

Some of it kind of reminds me of The Woods which is cool. But yeah this is seriously killer.

 

Yea this kicks serious ass, of course.

You First is literally everything I want lyrically, absolute banger.

 

Back in the CD era one of my favorite rituals was getting a new CD, popping it into the stereo and laying down on my bed and reading the lyrics along with the album

 

Hell yeah it's up on YouTube in Australia

 

lyrics are everything to me just because i grew up obsessed with words / writing. there's only one musician that scratches the lyrical itch for me so i gave up hope as i got older that anyone can satisfy that part of me. what i wanted to ask was, what song was taylor talking about that he didn't want on the record and gave up on guitars due to stress?

 

I kinda hate this, bummer. Just not my kinda music. People saying it reminds them of PFA are crazy though, I would be totally stoked if this sounded like PFA

 

Hayley wasn't kidding when she said this is the best Paramore album.
