OVERVIEW :
This is the third album of the female fronted American alt rock band, Paramore. The band has great energy right from track #1. I found the bulk of the album really good. Definitely worth checking out if you’re into this stuff.
HIGHLIGHTS :
Careful, Looking Up, Misguided Ghosts
PLAY BY PLAY
Track 1 – Careful
Great energy! Cool track.
Track 2 – Ignoarance
Another cool track. This has a really thick groove.
Track 3 – Playing God
This one is kinda ballad like, but still packs a punch as the band’s energy is totally in it.
Track 4 – Brick by Boring Brick
I like the mellow riff against the energetic drums. Cool idea.
Track 5 – Turn It Off
This is more of a “ballad” than track 3. But I’m still getting hit by a wall of sound.
Track 6 – The Only Exception
Ok, the band broke out the acoustic guitars for this track. This is the ballad on the album. Nice song.
Track 7 – Feeling Sorry
This one is in six. Cool groove.
Track 8 – Looking Up
Cool track. Love the energy here.
Track 9 – Where The Lines Overlap
Interesting.
Track 10 – Misguided Ghosts
Really nice guitar work on this track.
Track 11 – All I Wanted
Pretty Melody. Mellow track.
