So Paramore has released two new singles in the last month. I've been a big fan of them since Riot! and didn't overly dig their last album. It's been band member musical chairs over the last 7 years with Zac and Josh leaving in 2010, Jeremy leaving in 2015 (I think), then Zac returning for this album.
I've seen Paramore twice. Once before their self titled album where they still proved to be absolute legends of punk pop. And then shortly after their self titled release where I was considering walking out from, they had gone from punk legends to pop sell outs.
I can't stand neither of their new songs and I need to rant.
What is this??? I'm glad Zac is back, the drum stuff is undoubtedly his style, with complex rhythms which the self titled album lacked, but what the actual Goddess is that awful drum sound? The snare sounds like from my first shoddy drum kit. And the cymbals. Urrrgh. Nope. Just a nope from me.
The lyrics and guitar sounds... I feel this is a kick to the bands that you see now rather than remaining in the punk genre. Like a hell mellowed out pop song. There's no distortion. I mean, potentially if they had amped up the guitars with at least some distortion for the lead, pump in some palm muted power chords I would pass the song off as being a decent Paramore sounding song. This? This is essentially now turned into the Hayley Williams show with her back up boys. I feel like they've lost who they truly are.
Me no likely. Anyone else share the same thoughts?
