Paramore – Riot!


Let me just come out and say it… Paramore’s second album “Riot!” is a fun poppunk album. I didn’t care much for their debut, but two years of playing shows in between albums helped them tweak their sound. The result is full of catchy choruses and melodic hooks, just check out opener “For A Pessimist, I’m Pretty Optimistic”.

On top of that it’s danceable, vocalist Hayley looks cute (I can say that now, she turned 19 a while ago) and sounds even cuter. The lyrics could probably be better but the same can be said for a ton of other bands out there. And anyway, I doubt anyone’s looking for real depth in an album like this.
Score: 7 out of 10
