Paramore Band • Page 73

I didn't like Now back then and still don't today. I think it's the chant and the quirkier vocal performance that throw me off the most about it.

 

I didn't like it for those reasons when it first came out, but it's definitely grown on me over the years

 

Can we just agree that "Now" is the worst song in their discography?

 

Well that's just false, it's not even the worst one on that record

I could go without hearing Still Into You ever again

 

I don't think there's a single song on any of their records I would skip. Even some of the rarer b-sides are gold. "Now" is a killer song

 

Hayley’s vocals on “Now” are amazing, song is super fun

 

Nah what's this ripping on S/T rubbish! The bridge to Proof is one of the highlights of their career and that last chorus to Be Alone is wow'sers!

 

I think this is a big reason why it wasn't well received. However, after they released it, Hayley started playing around with the vocals of other songs more often while live, similar to how she'd deliver the vocals on Now, and it feels perfectly natural to me.

Now is one of my favorites from them. Most likely sitting on a Top 5 list alongside Tell Me How and Proof.

 

honestly did not realize people loved Now so much lol.

Looking at my ranking of Paramore songs it's at 50.

 

ah dang, I love Still Into You.

 

Still Into You is fantastic. One of their best hooks for sure.

 

Ain't It Fun is probably the one on the record where I love it so much when I think about it, but I overplayed it so much as a teen that I can't get down with it as I used to anymore. I think I must've played it triple the amount of times of any other song on the record, and then it became a single, so I heard it pretty much every day after that.

 

Team Last Hope if we're talking self titled

 

Yep, EASILY my favorite performance from Hayley

 

If you trimmed S/T down to 12 or 13 songs it would be their best record

 

yeah but what would you cut, interludes don't count

 

"be alone" is an awesome song, in before people knock "be alone" again

 

Part of the charm of s/t is the length. It's why I don't put it on as often, but I love that you can really sink into that record. I wouldn't cut songs from the record, I would add the two b-sides because they're incredible too.

 

exactly

 

Def lose the interludes. Heart Break, Crazy Girls and Fast In My Car

 

There will be no Crazy Girls slander

 

No way you lose the lovely interludes

 

Yeah self titled is too bloated. I never go back to it because of the daunting looking track list. But I listen to “ain’t it fun” a lotttt.

 

I will hear no Hate To See Your Heart Break slander

 

But imagine, IMAGINE how much the record would smack without the interludes and the ballads
