 This will cause a RIOT!!! May 3, 2008
Paramore have been on quite a journey since they started with their first teen angst fueled pop punk album 'All We Know Is Falling' which certainly attracted some attention (Mostly guys....What?! She's hot!).....Although without a doubt, Hayley Williams is far by one of the most impressive female singers there is and could easily rival the likes of Avril Lavigne and Juliet Simms...Hands down! And this album is no different.....
'Riot!' delivers an emotional rollercoaster of high's and lows in the life of a pop punk teen icon and guess what?? We're all invited for the ride! The best thing about all these songs is that most people can relate to them, they're accessible and delivered with raw emotion which is shown by Hayley's magnificent vocal range!
Ok I'm rambling but seriously this album is incredible! The opener 'For A Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic' will no doubt blow you away! From the start you can tell, they've improved so much. The musical arrangements are so much better, the vocals are perfect (as ever), the drums definately hit harder and the overall album is more anthemic, bouncy and lively! But they can't help going back to basics with 'That's What You Get' which reminds you so much of 'Here We Go Again' but you can see how much passion they put into there music. This album covers all the bases, you have 'Let The Flames Begin' and 'Born For This' which are bold, boisterous and loud with the equally bedazzling 'Crushcrushcrush' and 'Fences' which'll just leave you bouncing around like a demented child because its so damn catchy!!!! Of course we can't forget the singles 'Misery Business' and 'Hallelujah' which are so energetic and uplifting you just can't help but smile and dance along!
Lastly, there's 'When It Rains' and 'We Are Broken', a few ballads to throw into the mix which are equally as good and could rival Avril Lavigne's 'Keep Holding On' and 'Why'.
To finish this review I'm going to have a rant at Kerrang;
1. This album is not worth KKK whatsoever!
2. 'Hallelujah' isnt to 'lukewarm results'!
3. And damn anyone who listens to those reviews.........because they lie! 'Riot!' is pop punk bliss and anyone who says different should be shot! Because in the end this is what it's all about! Songs to make you laugh, to make you cry and to turn up to full blast and have some fun, and these guys bring it in spades! =]
Can't wait for the next album!!!! =]
Top Tracks: Fences, Hallelujah, Misery Business
 Grows On You April 9, 2008
I bought this after hearing / seeing a track on TV, and at this price I thought I'd give it a spin.
On the first play only a couple of tracks stood out (Hallelujah and Let The Flames Begin), but after a few plays other tracks grew on me.
The band shows promise, and hopefully their music will mature along with them.
Big Trouble in Wolf Cave March 27, 2008
Well, well, this is a hoot to be sure !
Eleven anthems to doomed yoof. A more than competent
little band not afraid to strut their stuff with the best.
The point of Paramour, however, is singer Hayley Williams.
This young lady has got a fine pair of lungs. The voice soars above the raucous riffs like an angel in flight; hurling out ringing top notes
like there's no tomorrow.
There's not much respite from the guitar/drum led clang and clatter but
that's no bad thing when allied to material of this strength and quality.
'Hallelujah', 'When It Rains' and 'That's What You Get' are notable melodic highpoints.
I'm in deep trouble however !
Mrs Wolf has found it hard keeping Scatty and Grits (the cubs) under control since this album found its' way into the cave.
They've both taken to wearing red bandanas, jumping on the furniture and playing air guitar with wild abandon.
Having sought the advice of Barnaby Owl I am reassured that it is just a passing phase.
Oh what a fine thing it must be to be young and free !
Paramore<3 March 4, 2008
I'd never heard of Paramore until i heard the acoustic version of Misery Business on youtube and from then on i was hooked! I'm a girls aloud megafan so Paramore is quite a change. I bought Riot! and love every track on it, all really catchy and i just want to hear them again and again!
Belter February 25, 2008
I've not heard the previous effort, but this album is very catchy and you'll find yourself coming back to it again and again. The band are very tight and Hayley's vocals are decent, if a little 'warm' on the album.
To get a true sense of this girl's talent, jump on to the well known video site we all know and look up 'Misery Business' done acoustically live in some Green Room - by god she's good.
There are a couple of tracks that after a few listens you single out as the weaker ones, but apart from these (they're still decent) the rest are top knotch.
Recommended.
