Hayley Williams appreciation thread

[VinylGuy]

really liked the new single and actually thinking about going to see them next year

I was hardly aware of Paramore from 2007-2017. Then I heard Hard Times After Laughter is a gift a remarkable album. The so record are excellent as was well. Over Those Hills is a glorious.looking forward to a new album. Listing back over their catalog you can really hear the growth, they were kids who had some pretty cool influences. There are a few gems on each record., But in many ways After Laughter is kind of this version of Paramore's debut album. I get a very Talk Heads vibe on the new one.

Also could a drummer explain why I think Zack is so good. Who does he compare to stylistically. I always think of Mick Fleetwood when I hear his drumming or maybe sometimes Topper Headon

[Leatherhead]

Yea, AL brought me in as a fan. I noticed I was digging Told You So when I'd hear it on the radio and didn't know who it was until I decided to look it up. I definitely didn't expect a whole album I really liked. There's been a couple pre-AL songs I've heard that I like, So Into You and and Ain't It Fun, but I haven't gone any further. About a year ago, maybe 2, I couldn't have named a single Paramore song or even recognize any, maaaaaaaybe Misery Business, but I'd be half guessing.

i liked the new song enough

"The News "I like alot

[Ello Sailor]

Instrumental is killer. Hayley's voice is on point as always. Lyrics are pretty shit, like something Matt Bellamy would write.

[AndySlash]

Lyrics are pretty shit, like something Matt Bellamy would write.

well, if you have an opinion, maybe you should shove it!

[Ello Sailor]

Different song, but ya

[VinylGuy]

the song reminds me of something from Incubus. And i like Incubus, so cool.

I like "The News" a lot, I would have preferred "This is Why" as an album track, I was annoyed and put off by it as the lead single when I was expecting TN (based on leaked clips)

[Tj]

It is amazing this is such a young band, they have been on the scene for 2 decades. They continue to grow and evolve in unexpected ways. The future is bright. After Laughter is a fantastic album. The News has me thinking this will be equally great.

[psychobain]

[VinylGuy]

liked it.

[Ello Sailor]

This album is going to slap with the dopeness.

[Tj]

I like The News better, but all three songs are very solid. I can't really think of a example of a band that evolved in this way it is actually remarkable.

[Ms Harmless]

yeah all three songs are really good; still waiting for one or two songs that scratch my emotional itch but I think we're in for a good album

[Tj]

Williams did the heavy lifting on After Laughter. I feel Farro and York are the stars of these three songs.

[Huell]

I really like Paramore but I get the impression that they have other songwriters help. Is that right?
