Riot! (by Paramore, Alternative Rock)

Paramore is my all time favorite band, I'm 13, and I just started listening to Paramore about a year ago... they're amazing. I have a problem with the fact that this site is highlighting the fact that Hayley William's hair is dyed. And it's not pink, it's orange. Are people really that conservative that they would have a problem with that? Hayley Williams is gorgeous and my role model... also this album is great. This site doesn't have a review for Paramore's first album, "All We Know is Falling", also such an amazing set of songs. I'm going to a Paramore concert this summer and they're said to be amazing live! They're all super talented musicians, Josh Farro- lead guitar, Zac Farro- percussion, Jeremy Davis- bass, Hayley Williams- lead vocals. Paramore got together as an actual band in their high school years... one of the reasons why people love them so much is because of all the emotion they put into their music. Personal stories, etc. and Hayley and Josh actually did have a story that lasted around 3 years but they split for the band... didn't want to cause drama. I love Paramore. <3. 'Nuff said.

‘Riot!’ by Paramore is a very good album. All of the songs are of very well written and enjoyable to listen to. I think that ‘For A Pessimist I’m Pretty Optimistic’ (for it’s beat), ‘When It Rains’ (for it’s emotion), ‘Crushcrushcrush’ (for it’s beat and lyrics), ‘We Are Broken’ (for it’s emotion) and Fences (for it’s beat) are the best. Also, three out of the five band-members are Christians, making them good role models for listeners. However, I have a few concerns. In the song, ‘Misery Business’, the word “G-d” is used (But G-d it feels so good / ‘cause I got him where I want him right now). This may agitate listeners who happen to be Christians. Seven out of the eleven songs in the album are about relationships. This is not a problem for older tween or teenaged listeners, but not that appropriate for younger listeners. The only other issue is the feeling of the songs. Though they are not incredibly depressing are not exactly uplifting (‘When It Rains’ is about lead singer Hayley Williams’s friend who committed suicide). This, however, is a personally issue that may not be observed by other listeners. Overall, ‘Riot!’ is a good Alternative Rock album, appropriate for listeners aged 12 +. - Everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial.

own it its the most awesome cd ever and so is brand new eyes!!

Paramore's sophomore attempt at pop-punk packs a whole lotta punch. The album starts off with a bang and then the second song comes in with with a catchy chorus for the love-lorn. Hallelujah and When It Rains are lyrically, very low key. Let The Flames Begins picks up speed as does Miracle. Crushcrushcrush erupts with the spastic energy the band has been bubbling beneath the surface. The ballad (We Are Broken) is a pretty little piece. Fences has a western stick-up stomp to it. And Born For This ends the album kinda disappointingly. (In my opinion.) Overall the band has potential and they play one hell of an album. Great listen for parents and kids alike.

Paramore isn't the sort of thing very young kids should listen to. One. They will not understand any of what the singer says, There is not much here that isn't for the mature audience and using adult terminology. I'm not saying the lyrics are dirty or anything. its just hard to understand for kids younger than about 11 or 12.

This is my favorite band now! I love Ignorance and Fences and Crush, Crush and That's what you Get! Best band ever!

so good Hayley Williams!

A little bit of cussing in the single Misery Business but nothing else bad other than that. This is a great album, one of my favorites. Hayley Williams vocals are outstanding and I love this band. :)

Awesome Band, I Nearly Screamed When I Heard Hayley Williams And B.o.B Were Collaborating. I Think Their Song Is INCREDIBLE. Paramore Could Easily Wipe The Floor Against Justin Bieber...Well That Wouldn't Be Hard, He Can't Sing Anyway. Paramore Are Incredible. I Love My Poster Of Them In My Room =]
