Ok, so I was bored today and I was looking at music videos and I wanted to actually listen to Paramore to see if they were good. I listened to 3/4s of Crushcrushcrush and I liked it. I downloaded “RIOT!” by them to see if they were good all around other than just their singles. I thought it was gonna be some Disney Pop Crap. I… thought… WRONG.
First: The lead singer, Hailey (I Think?) is AMAZING. She can actually sing a rock song amazingly, and I MEAN THAT. She is one of the best sorta new/fresh singers I have heard in a LONG time. The guitarist is awesome also. He has some freaking awesome solos. Everyone does an awesome job.
Second: You can’t get much farther from pop. Maybe it is some of pop, but it doesn’t sound like it. It sounds like it’s hardcore rock. And GOOD rock.
Third: I thought the only good songs were gonna be the singles. My favorite songs are the last two songs, which are NOT singles. I mean, I totally judged “the book by it’s cover” and it’s cover kinda looked like a book for a 4 year old with rainbows and unicorns. But it was like the cover was the most lying piece of cardboard ever.
What I am trying to say is I thought since they had a female singer and that they were teens that they were gonna be some Disney crap. And, Paramore, if you ever read this, I am sorry. What I thought was 100% WRONG. I REALLY suggest you buy/download/borrow/whatever this album. It’s a VERY good album. Why am I speaking so formally? It’s FREAKING AMAZING.
