Paramore's Hayley Williams could have plenty to smile about come the end of the weekĬontinue reading: Critics Backing Paramore For Success On Fourth Album Return Drowned In Sound commented “Paramore feels far more human and honest than anything the band have committed to tape to date, and even at its most intense, the record feels intimate (or at least like a gig happening in the back corner of your mind).” “A sprawling, 17-song, 64-minute monster that is without a doubt the finest music these three artists-vocalist Hayley Williams, guitarist Taylor York and bassist Jeremy Davis-have ever made” so said The Alternative Press. Hayley Williams and co will be hoping to go one better than their 2009 LP Brand New Eyes, which took second spot in the US Billboard album charts (though their biggest selling record was actually 2007’s Riot!, which sold nearly 1.5 million copies Stateside,) and if the reviews are anything to go by they’ve got a good chance of that. With Paramore finally getting their act in gear and releasing their first new album in four years it’s clear that in the eyes of the critics absence has made the heart grow stronger, with a slew of good reviews coming out for the band’s self-titled fourth album. As for day 3, it certainly wasn't a day of rest as hitting the stage in Derry, Northern Ireland were alt-rock threesome Paramore, BRIT award nominated Jessie Ware and Grammy winning Bruno Mars who's set to kick off a major world tour in the summer spanning through 'til March 2014.Ĭontinue reading: Rudimental, Iggy Azalea And Bruno Mars Make Star Performances At BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend Saturday brought in an equally impressive line-up with Ellie Goulding who is in the UK before she embarks on a lengthy US tour later in the summer The Saturdays minus Rochelle Humes who is still recovering from the birth of her first baby Alaia-Mai and Iggy Azalea whose debut album release is imminent.

More: Paramore talk about writing 'After Laughter'Ĭontinue reading: Paramore - After Laughter Album Review The piece de resistance is the closing ‘Tell Me How’, a piano-based ballad that gradually builds, but avoids the temptation to go over the top. ‘Told You So’ is peppered with synthesised licks, ‘Fake Happy’ has a delightful juxtaposition of solemn acoustics and electro stomp, and ‘Grudges’ couldn’t be any chirpier. ‘Hard Times’ is tropical pop, while ‘Rose-Colored Boy’ shimmers effortlessly with hooks aplenty. This follows up the softer direction indicated by their self-titled release and loses any inhibition to try a different sound. If you’re waiting for Paramore to return to the guitar-driven youth pleasers of their first two records, then you’ll need to wait for at least another record. Most recently, Zac Farro returned as drummer for this, album number five, which has already spawned a sold-out UK tour next month, which then moves to mainland Europe.
Paramore’s ascent to one of punk-rock’s most popular outfits has been against a background of line-up changes, particularly with founding members leaving and returning.
