The second part of the Beats 1 interview between Zane Lowe and Paramore is up, and it's a whopping 51+ minute interview! I haven't watched it yet but I'll edit my post later to give a very brief summary of what they talk about.
In case you haven't seen it yet: Here's Part 1 which was uploaded the day Hard Times dropped:
And now here's Part 2:
Edit: The interview broke down the stories and thought-processes behind the major songs of the album. Gives a great idea of where they got their inspirations from and how difficult it was to overcome their personal demons to make the album. A very candid and emotional interview that actually could have gone on for another hour.

Meh, if you're knowingly the "other" man or woman I still think it's a pretty shitty thing to do. Is the "Chad" in the relationship worse? Absolutely. But I think it's immoral to knowingly play a part in someone being cheated on, because that's an emotionally damaging experience for that person.

I'd like to hear Let Me Go LOL I was literally about to post that LMG would be the next song. It'll be a little more complicated because we have to record the Avril and Chad parts separately and combine them but it'll be interesting to say the least

What gives me some pause about believing the alleged music tonal shift for her next album are her 2016/2017 AD lines, which are pretty similar to the kinds of stuff she designed before. To be fair, I don't know how independently AD and Avril operate but releasing a new, more mature line would have sent a pretty big message to me. Instead we get cupcakes, skulls and British flags.

Anyone read about other artists dissing Avril? I'm interested in who has. I remember Paramore saying something. Ugh forget them. Like what is the point? You're not putting out good vibes out when you diss other artists. I can't remember where but I think it comes from them being compared to her or something. I can never like them now cuz all I think about is how negative they were commenting on Avril. Blaaa. I know Avril and Britney said things about eachother but they kinda made up in later years when they shared each others Music Videos. Do you remember roughly what Paramore said? I haven't seen Avril and Paramore (Hayley) acknowledge each other much outside of a recent article Hayley wrote that briefly mentioned Avril.

Wow, thanks everyone! This actually comes as a pretty big surprise to me.
I'd like to dedicate the MOTM award to Jewel, the palm trees in Avril's Instagram pics and the small but very proud European nation of Sealand.
I also want to bring attention to another very important poll in April where Hello Kitty survived Round I of the AL Survivor poll. In many ways, we all won with that one...
Thanks again!

Have over 300 plays of Told You So so far. Going to hold off on giving more thoughts on the song - decided I'm going to review the whole album in this thread song-by-song shortly after the album comes out. It'll be a doozy like some of my other long-form posts P.S. If you haven't seen the Hard Times music video since around the time it came out, try watching it again. You might fall in love all over again like I did Exactly one more week y'all

I'm still optimistic that it'll come out this year. I don't think there's any reason to believe that won't be the case at the moment. I just think the recurring theme of this thread is that her social media team is out of touch

Listened to it about 50 times so far. I agree that it doesn't sound like a single, not that it matters at the end of the day really.
It doesn't immediately pop out like Hard Times does but it has a good sound and gets better with every listen. I really like Hayley's voice in certain parts.
