Paramore: Riot!
Review by Chrissy
|
"For a Pessimist, I'm pretty optimistic"
The opening track is the most powerful intro of an album you've ever heard. It starts with a heavy guitar riff and is the perfect intro for an album called "Riot!".
The title is perfectly choosen and fits to the lyrics ("I never wanted to say this, you never wanted to stay, I put my faith in you, so much faith and you just threw it away").
"That's what you get"
This song would have been a good intro song too. The song is about realizing that something hasn't happened as you thought it would and being a bit confused about it. "I wonder, how am I supposed to feel, when you're not here, 'cause I've burned every bridge I've ever build when you were here."
"Hallelujah"
"Hallelujah" is the second single from "Riot!" and a beautiful song. It's about making something last forever and not giving up onto it.
"Misery Business"
"Misery Business" is the first single from "Riot!" and is about the feeling you have when you got him back. "...I never meant to brag, but I got him where I want him now..."
"When it rains"
This is one of the softer songs on the album and really relaxing to listen to it. The combination of the guitar and Hayley's voice is really smooth and great.
"Let the flames begin"
A heavy tune and great to listen to when you want to go crazy and freak out a bit.
"Miracle!"v
This song has awesome lyrics and a good melody. "I'm not going, 'cause I've been waiting for a miracle and I won't let you give up on a miracle, when it might save you".
"crushcrushcrush"
"crushcrushcrush" is the third single from "Riot!" and one of the best songs of the whole album. It changes between slow and fast with a countdown, which is very cool.
"We are broken"
This song is a nice, slow and sad song. It's hard to tell what the song is about because everyone can interpret it for themselves and everyone has different feelings about this song.
"Fences"
"Fences" has a nice melody and is definitely a catchy tune. You won't get it out of your head.
"Born for this"
This song is best played live at a Paramore concert. It really motivates you to stand up, sing and dance.
And they definitely know it:
"Everybody sings, like it's the last song you will sing, tell me, tell me, can you feel the pressure now?"
