Weekly Poll: Favorite Paramore Album • Page 2

s/t >>>>>

 

the after laughter slander itt is obnoxiously wrong

 

After Laughter

Love all their albums though

 

I also voted for AL, but am very surprised their isn't more love for their self-titled!

 

i think the s/t is a masterpiece but i know i'm alone here

 

I picked AWKIF because that album is why I am a Paramore fan and I have an insane amount of memories surrounding it. There's just something special I feel when I listen to it. It isn't their best or anything but it's the one that got me here today as the Paramore fan I am.

Next favorite would have to be self-titled...it goes in a few different directions but I honestly think it's an awesome album that keeps up the pace the whole time. They tried a lot of different things and I loved some of their nods to their past (Part II)...it really felt like they were working through something. I am still devestated that things went the way they did with Jeremy...

To me, Paramore is a band that, with each album cycle, is uniquely Paramore, in an all new, evolved way. You could make an argument for any Paramore album for why it's the best. Put AWKIF in the context of its time and place - jam after pop punk jam. They were so young when they wrote it, it's honestly impressive.

Anyway I love this band and I get emotional whenever I write about them so there's that.

 

I am with you.

 

This

 

AL is their only record of theirs I've had a strong emotional connection to. The change in sound is super refreshing imo and works perfectly in their favor.

 

Idk about this. It might be in hindsight but I can't escape the feeling surrounding the cycle of this album, not a good time for the band and I felt that hard. Looking Up felt great back then but listening to it now feels almost like wishful thinking..also thinking of the controversy surrounding Playing God and how many of the lyrics in hindsight felt like directed barbs and forshadowed the future of the band a bit.

 

Self-titled is my favorite, which is weird, because I definitely didn't feel that way when it came out. After Laughter is probably their best/most cohesive, though.

 

Self titled for sure. I think they nail so many different sounds on it.

 

this is the correct take imo

 

My gut instinct was AL so that’s what I voted. Considered changing to BNE but I didn’t. Self Titles is also in the talks here.

 

This thread is making me listen to self-titled more and it's better than I remember

 

Bne.

 

Riot-AL all have such varied strengths in different ways that I think it really speaks to the consistency and creative output of this band, especially with all of their drama and member swaps, etc. Truly a top tier band.

 

I am absolutely shocked that "Paramore" is not number 1. It is so obviously their best album by a landslide to me. I mean, its perfect from start to finish.

 

I love the direction they've taken their music with the last couple of albums but Brand New Eyes is my favorite. I'd go BNE > AL > Self-titled > Riot! > AWKIF.

Favorite Paramore song right here.

 

I felt like this abt Looking Up for awhile, even tho it’s one of my favorite Paramore songs. Then they opened Parahoy with it this year and I literally burst into tears the second they started playing because that happy feeling felt real again.

 

I don't know. I like that album a lot, but I find it too long and feel like it could have used some cuts to take out some filler.

 

There’s zero songs I’d cut from S/T

 

This is nice to hear, thank you for sharing. :)

 

After Laughter is their first perfect record for me from start to finish. Can’t believe how good it is.

Brand New Eyes is second. Best of their earlier era stuff. Pretty flawless in its own right. Guitar work and vocals are insane.

Self-titled and Riot! are both great and about equal for me at this point. AWKIF is easily their weakest.

 

My issue with s/t is it feels like it should be the band’s masterpiece but there are a few songs that feel like filler to me.
