I can't get used to these 2 new songs but still I am curious about their new sound. I saw a new song will come out this friday? A French song?

Oh I love both songs. They're fun and relatable. I hope I like the rest of the album too.

OMG THE NEW ALBUM IS SOOOO GOOD! Had it on repeat all week. Seems like an evolution of Hayley's first solo album.
Liar is my favourite, which is strange for me as I usually prefer upbeat songs, but theres something in Liar that's simply beautiful. Wasn't keen on The News upon first listen but now it's my favourite head banger on the album.

I don't dislike it but it's not something I get back to often I think. My least favorite is The News. The beginning of the song sounds too annoying for me (sorry lrb22, you seemed to love that one). But I don't know. I think Paramore is a band that isn't connecting with me anymore like they used to, and that's okay. It's not bad but just not really my thing anymore.

Honestly, I feel there was a little confusion with the direction to take for sound. It seems to me like Paramore really wanted a slower and more relaxed album about more self-growth and trying to find a healthy balance to cope with struggles. The album reminded me of Fleetwood Mac, which I know is an influence for Hayley, and Flowers for Vases by Hayley. The odd ones out, as much as I love and resonate with them, are C’est Comme Ça and The News. The lyrics and sound are very Paramore, but I don't think they belong on This is Why. Even the title song seems to fit in a lot better than CCC and TN. It makes me wonder if they changed the sound of these two songs to please fans that prefer their older sound. Or maybe they wanted to see if This is Why could go in that direction but were not happy with the overall project and switched directions.
My favorites so far are You First, Figure 8, Running Out of Time, and Thick Skull. These songs have come out at a perfect time for me because I am struggling with personal growth and all that fun stuff. I felt called out with Running Out of Time cause that week, my intern supervisor brought up my time management struggles LOL. Current rating: 8.5/10. One of their best albums lyrically in my opinion.

I listened to the album once. I'm not gonna lie, I wanted to enjoy it more because I loved the singles but I'm not surprised that I ended up not feeling it. Someone mentioned it sounded like Hayley's solo stuff and it does. Here's my faves:
This Is Why - LOVE The News - Love The French song - catchy! The spoken word was a bit of a turn off but I just jam to the chorus. Firgure8 - still learning it but I raise the volume when it comes on shuffle and also play it on purpose.i like that it's heavier rock Running out of time- my elastic favorite of the singles You first - still learning it but the lyrics do stand out a lot

What’s the situation with Paramore?! I keep seeing bits online but not enough to fill me in lol. They’re the support act for my show at the eras tour and whilst I’m not really a fan, i like enough of their songs to enjoy it 100x more than any of Taylor’s other support acts are they likely to pull out?! Surely not, it must be a huge payday?!

Speculation was that they broke up but it's actually their contract with Atlantic records that's up! They're a free agent now! They were signed for 20 years and the only person who signed the contract was Hayley, this has always been a point of contention for why the band has had so many members leave.

Recently, I watched this video explaining Paramore. I always knew the band was formed around Hayley but I never knew she was the only one who signed the contract. It's insane they also signed her for 20 years! They did the same to JoJo but her career went a total other way. The music industry is insane af.

That’s interesting. I remember all the contract drama back when those two brothers left

I didn’t enjoy their music after Josh farro left though .. I didn’t like the music 😭 I can’t find the original blog post that Josh wrote but the brothers at the time left a band selling millions.. he basically was angry because he wanted to reveal them leaving the band but they didn’t get a chance because Hayley and her team did it first. I remember him saying that they were treated like trash & the lyrics to ignorance were very hurtful. I found an article that quotes is but the original blog is no more www.mtv.com/news/f56gk0/paramore-split-gets-nasty-josh-farro-calls-former-band-a-manufactured-product
