Paramore - This Is Why (February 10, 2023) Album • Page 92

Crazy but I can see it.

 

I wasn’t hugely feeling 2 out of the three singles from this, but the album as a whole is good.

I don’t know if will ever be the Paramore record I regularly reach for over Riot!, BNE, or After Laughter, but I was wrong to doubt them based on the singles.

This is their first attempt at this kind of sound, and I would imagine if they continue this next time, it will be even better.

 

I did a discog run a while back, I don’t know where this falls but probably on the lower end. All I know is self-titled is my favorite by a large margin.

 

“Crave” is such a sick song. Her voice sounds excellent.

 

The more I listen to this album, the more I think that "Liar" and "Thick Skull" are really the standouts for me, lyrically and vocally. That, and with each consecutive listen, I can find the ties to AL/s-t/PFA/FfV, and I absolutely love that.

If I had to rank JUST the paramore albums at this point, it'd be
After Laughter
Self-Titled
This Is Why
Brand New Eyes
Riot
All We Know

 

This just reminds me of the Twitter meme:

::Listens to “This Is Why”::

Hmmm..I’m getting a lot of “This Is Why” vibes from this.

 

from last night, I'm proud of this one

 

Second line doesn't fit the rhythm of the melody.

Maybe "mispronounce a band"?

 

Am I wrong?

 

Album is just not doing it for me at all. bummer.

 

This just keeps growing on me. Every member of the band is firing at all cylinders on this. Truly impressive stuff.

 

yes

 

parodies of crooner hits aside, I can't stop listening to this

 

How? When you sing it out loud, you end up a syllable short.

 

I take it you are not familiar with the song “That’s Amore.”

 

it works for me when i sing it

 

I am though. What am I missing?

 

When the moon hits your eye (6)
Like a big pizza pie, (6)
that's amore (4)

When the moon hits your hands (6)
And you mispronounce bands (6)
Paramore (4)

 

Okay, I think I see where my disconnect is coming from.

For mispronounce to work in place of pizza pie, you have to sing the pro part on a higher note than mis, which doesn't feel natural to me. My brain wants to keep mis and pro the same note, so I get veered off.

 

Yeah, I was just working this out.

 

our long national nightmare is over

 

Penlab (2)
Pedant (2)

 

In order for this rhyme to work
You must pronounce it like a twerp
That's annoying

 

Paramore albums to me are reverse chronological order, where AL is the best and AWKIF is the worst. love AWKIF’s tone though. the album has a distinct, consistent atmosphere to it and other pmore records dont really do that again until After Laughter

not sure where TIW is for me yet but i do think it is definitely the band’s most congruent album in terms of motif
