Sep 23, 201010Paramore hit the scene five years ago. Two years later, they became the new darlings of punk. This year, they've risen to new heights. Brand New Eyes is exactly what a punk album should be: uncompromising, powerful, soulful, and inspired.

BenjaminJNov 22, 200910An abrupt, blunt, rough, sudden and overpowering surprise. Amazing and wonderful, they have transformed from their earlier artless simplicity to an attractive, attentive and active concentration of energy, strength and sharpness.

EmanuelT.Oct 6, 20096Simply.. it's not riot!... and it sounds much more softer and slower.. It stands doubtly on his own.. it could have been better.

DemitriWSep 30, 20097Solid improvement from Riot! in my opinion.. Though i thought the guitar held back the rest of the bands ambitions which i felt through Haley's harsher singing and the wild energetic drumming ( I'd comment on the bassist if i heard him more often). Not the best album this year but definitely worth a listen. There'll be a song you'll like on there somewhere.

JhonM.Oct 3, 20090This album is so crap.

-
HoganS.Oct 4, 20099Although the pace slows a bit toward the end, before the astounding Haylee Williams vocal on the closer "All I Wanted", this is some seriously awesome song writing from a future force to be reckoned with.

BradM.Oct 4, 20099Amazing, for a band so young. i want to hear more already. Misguided ghosts, all i wanted, the only exception are so well written.

JoshuaM.Oct 5, 20097Pretty good album on Paramore standards. To the die hard fans, they will love it. But to the normal listeners, this will sound like a screaming girl wondering why life sucks. But all and all, it's a good album.

LeeJ.Oct 5, 20099I absolutely think this is their best album to date. Yeah, their sound has in fact changed since we last heard from them, but there's a definite improvement in terms of maturity which I'm sure will appeal to a larger audience.

MarvinMNov 21, 20099Genius.. Paramore brings their album into the hot peak.. More drama than Riot! and yet bring consecutive rock to your ears.. Their album define as Heavy Emotion.

Nov 25, 20109Brand New Eyes is a breakthrought album. Riot! wasn't good in comparison with this album. I can't wait to see Paramore in the tour but they won't came to my country.
-
Nov 27, 20109Brand New Eyes is Paramore's brand new direction. It's brilliant and gives off the best of the band. I love the song and the band's growth lyrically and musically.

Apr 13, 20119Awsome!Paramore is the best pop rock band of all time.Hailey Williams is one of the best singers of all time.All of there songs must be heard.Youll fall in love with their music.
-
Jun 2, 20118Doesn't exactly elevate as brand new (except for a few slower sounds) but like the band's previous efforts, it rocks particularly because of the strength in the vocals of Ms. Williams.

Sep 13, 201110Awesome Album, all songs won't disappoint! The song everyone has heard "The only exception" is one of the most toned-down songs which was a nice change from their usual. However, all of the other songs have raw emotion and you can hear the passion in Haley's voice.

Oct 16, 201110Paramore is one of the best bands currently, and this CD completely proves it, they have a mix of songs, powerful and good ones, so it deserves respect.
-
Nov 11, 20116Brand New Eyes is a decent album, but it isn't as good as Riot!

Mar 8, 20129My favorite album of Paramore, is better than Riot!, and the songs are amazing, this is a great CD, is fantastic have much beautiful songs and the voice of Hailey is amazing. brand new eyes is a classic.
-
Mar 19, 201210I could sit and listen to this album for days without moving. Hayley's voice is so powerful and emotional and full of stories. I can't even pick a favorite song on this album!
-
Apr 26, 20128Paramore is definitely my favorite band, but this album was my least favorite of theirs, and here is why. This album was a lot more pop sounding than their other stuff, and "The Only Exception" was a beautiful ballad. They lost some energy on this cd, and I'm not sure why. Most of the songs will make you think and feel emotions that are beyond anything else out there right now.

Apr 6, 201310con canciones espectaculares debido a ritmos excelentes y contagiosos paramore avanza un a un nuevo nivel de excelencia.
este álbum le encantara a los fans y los que los escuchan por primera vez sera una gran oportunidad para que escuchen una de las mejores bandas de rock alternativo -
Jun 7, 201310With Paramore's most energized album yet, it is easy to say that every song on this album has incredible vocals, all songs totally represent life itself and the beautiful heart and soul put into the album gives it a ten it most definitely deserves.
-
The anthemic, celebratory songs that made Riot! so appealing were largely absent, but the band found a new way to rock during those sessions, prizing catharsis and nuanced arrangements above the hooks of albums past.
-
Although the new set may lack the wide-eyed naivete that made the group's past efforts so endearing, the newfound maturity makes for a compelling set of songs.

70Paramore is certainly a sharp enough unit that doesn’t lack for energy, and Brand New Eyes features enough interesting ideas to take notice. All it needs is to double the ones it has, and it’ll be a band that’s foolish to ignore.
