It’s clear from the ghosts on this album, like the one mentioned above, as well as the experimental tracks and sounds, that Paramore is growing up. For example, “Part II” begins, “What a shame we all remain / such fragile, broken things.” The lyric changes just one word from a line in “Let the Flames Begin”, an album track from 2007’s Riot!: “What a shame we all became / such fragile, broken things.” The songs also sound incredibly similar. Paramore features a lot more storytelling than previous efforts by the band, but it also features a lot of highly personal content - as well as throwbacks to previous records. The instrumentals on this album are hard-hitting and jarring, as emotional as the vocals and lyrics of every song. The pixie-sized powerhouse’s vocals are absolutely on point for the entirety of the record, whether she’s raspily singing to an acoustic backtrack on the three “interludes” on the album, screaming about the things in life that get you down in “Anklebiters” or crooning the slightly sad, really lovely “Last Hope”. But if you thought Williams was pissed off on Brand New Eyes, that was nothing compared to the controlled rage she exhibits on Paramore. Paramore was released Tuesday, April 9, and it’s arguably the band’s best album to date. Those three (Williams, Taylor York and Jeremy Davis) have just dropped a new record after much anticipation. About a year later, two of its founding members left (in a pretty nasty split). She was pissed off at her bandmates, something the band talked about at length in interviews about the album it became increasingly apparent that the band was not quite as united as it once had been. That’s because Hayley Williams was pissed off. The cover featured a pulled-apart butterfly pinned to a fence and the lyrical content was angrier than anything Paramore had written before. In 2009, Paramore released its third studio album, Brand New Eyes.
