January 13, 20232 yr I love the spoken-word verses and the middle eight... but that chorus? Choices were made.
January 19, 20232 yr Probably unpopular opinion but I think this may actually be my fave of the 3 so far? (Maybe I was conditioned to be biased towards it because of the inspiration from the UK post-punk scene, can definitely hear that in the verses). I guess I can see why the chorus may turn people off but I think it's gonna be quite an earworm. 3 for 3 excellent singles anyway!!
February 10, 20232 yr I'm a mess this album is SO good like ???? This might/likely will end up being my fave Paramore album, I'm ready to say that after only one listen :cry: Â Running Out of Time and You First are real highlights :heart:Â The vocals, guitars, drums, production ugh everything is just perfect, it genuinely sounds like a mix of all their previous album styles but it's still so fresh and elevated like idk how they can continuously do that?!!!
February 10, 20232 yr Author I re-listened to all of the singles again this evening, and they’ve all really grown on me! I’m looking forward to giving the whole thing a listen soon :)
February 10, 20232 yr 'Figure 8' appreciation as I'm not seeing enough love online for that one so far :wub:Â I'm here for the indie/alt rock influences everywhere and look forward to seeing what clicks more on subsequent listens.
February 10, 20232 yr This is high quality. Really sounds great all the way through, with most of the best of their styles really pushing through. I think C'est Comme Ça, best punky feel, and Thick Skull, great slower finish to the album, sounded like the best on first listen but I feel like this will do very well with time.
February 10, 20232 yr I've only given this one listen through so far but I'm absolutely loving it, so great to have them back! Definitely feels like a combination of all the Paramore albums + solo work in one. The darker rockier sound of the album tracks is more what I was expecting prior to the singles, but I think they made the right single choices. You First and Figure 8 are definite standouts already!
February 10, 20232 yr Confirmed that running out of time is the next single and a music video will be dropping soon, I think this is the most "single sounding" song of the album so hopefully it does good things for them!
February 10, 20232 yr Now that I've been listening to it more I adore Crave as well, my ranking atm would probs be: Â 1. You First 2. Running Out Of Time 3. Crave 4. Cest Comme Ca 5. The News 6. Figure 8 7. Big Man, Little Dignity 8. Thick Skull 9. Liar 10. This Is Why
February 16, 20232 yr Running out of time video is out tomorrow, they performed on Jimmy Kimmel last night as well
February 16, 20232 yr I am loving 'Running Out Of Time'. It's funky and full of attitude and I could never get bored of listening to it. I know die hard Paramore fans will say it's more watered down than their earlier material. Edited April 9Apr 9 by montyj
February 16, 20232 yr I actually think this album is the perfect balance of all their signature sounds from their whole back catalogue, there's something for everyone on the album as well, there are more rock rooted songs for people that like that  Most reviews I've seen are positive but there's always gonna be that group that's like "I miss the old Paramore" but musicians have to evolve their sound as they grow they can't just keep making angsty teen songs like they did in 2007
February 19, 20232 yr "Running Out of Time" is stuck in my head. I hope they send it to US radio soon. "This Is Why" became their first #1 on alternative radio in the US and "Running Out of Time" could quite easily become their second tbh!  I'll be replaying the album throughout the year, it's more than I expected - even though it's only 10 tracks as well! I really like every track. My top 3 at the moment: "Running Out of Time" "C'est Comme Ça" "Crave" Edited February 19, 20232 yr by Envoirment
February 22, 20232 yr May or may not post again in a few days to give some more / more specific thoughts but on first listen I think 'Crave' is the one for me from the album tracks <3 followed by 'Figure 8' and 'Big Man, Little Dignity'. It was almost the second no-skip album of the year for me (after Young Fathers) but 'Thick Skull' was a bit of an underwhelming closing track for me - still think it's probably my 2nd fave album of the year so far anyway though. Can definitely see why 'Running Out Of Time' was chosen as a single and I am loving that too (even if some of the lyrics feel like they're personally attacking me :ph34r:) Love the video as well! toKJP3luQbI I will note that I thought (and still think) the hook is the weakest part of the title track but thankfully the hooks pretty much everywhere else on the album are a lot better! (and I still include 'C'Est Comme Ça' in that idc, think that's still my favourite song on the album x) My ranking of the album would actually be very similar to Lindsey's I think apart from 'You First' being a fair bit lower (and probably 'This Is Why' a few places higher but I wouldn't be surprised if a couple more album tracks grow on me to overtake that)
February 22, 20232 yr 01 | The News 02 | Figure 8 03 | You First 04 | Running Out Of Time 05 | Liar 06 | This Is Why 07 | Crave 08 | Thick Skull 09 | Big Man, Little Dignity 10 | Cest Comme Ca
February 22, 20232 yr Thick Skull has been a massive grower tbh, my ranking has changed a bit since my earlier post :kink:  1. You First 2. Crave 3. Running Out Of Time 4. Figure 8 5. Thick Skull 6. C'est Comme Ca 7. The News 8. Big Man, Little Dignity 9. Liar 10. This Is Why Even looking at having Liar so low looks wrong because I do genuinely love it, the whole album is 10/10 really, aside from the title track but it's still a solid 8.5 :lol: I don't know what it is about that song that hasn't clicked, could just be the hook as Bray mentioned It's good to see this album doing so well for them chart wise as well!
