Mar 8, 2012I love the music of Paramore, is a great band, but the music CD is some strange, and in some songs I don't feel a great sound, but is not bad, is my opinion. Riot! is a fantastic CD.

KristaH.Mar 6, 2008I love this album! Paramore is my favorite band and they don't deserve the one that "camille" gave them. I'm actually getting my hair don't like Hayleys hair. not the color the cut. I'm seeing them in concert with Jimmy Eat World. Yay!

MollyF.Jan 6, 2009I love this album it is purky and upbeat and Hailey Williams is a spunky enthusaistic performer with a lot of heart as well as her band.

JonathanR.Dec 30, 2007Amazing album. Anyone who can give this lower than an 8, seriously has no taste in music.

MattD.Jul 10, 2007Improves on their debut by not sounding as samey. New wave and 80s influences comfortably co-exist with their pop/punk. It would be very interesting if the band went more all out and broke free from any genre constraints.

BrittanyZ.Aug 24, 2007I really enjoyed Riot!.. With its very catchy toons and lyrics that are relatable I believe the album was put together very well! Everyone should go buy it. HAYLEY WILLIAMS voice is incredible and it really shows through this album.

AkashR.Apr 29, 2008Riot! And Paramore, both, completely give a vivid taste to emo-punk with Hayden, a gal, as their front vocalist! Be it "Crushcruchcrush" or "That's What You Get", every track in the album is worth a listen! Plus, the album art does give a foundation for a great graphiti!

DaylandM.May 7, 2008Riot! Is total rock at it's finest. Almost as good as the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Let's see some high powered duets for Hayley in the future, please!

DonnaJul 18, 2007This IS real music. Saying it isn't is usually a good sign to ignore the message. The lyrics on this CD are very observant and intelligent, and the music is more rocking than before.

Oct 12, 2010Good clean sexy fun, very unique in that the singer is a female however isn't out to use her powers for evil. Paramore accomplishes a rare feet by producing truly positive music that edifies and inspires. Consistent fresh feel throughout the entirety of the album!
-
Jun 6, 2011Riot mostly consists of generic pop rock tracks that are elevated by Hayley's powerhouse vocal chords and the track's uplifting lyrical content. One of its standout tracks is its lead single, "Misery Business", a jumpy, talk-sing pop track that sounds like a B-side from Avril Lavigne's The Best Damn Thing.
-
Aug 27, 2011Riot! is the musical equivalent of fast food. Good while it lasts but instantly forgettable with the exception of That's What You Get. Despite this it's one of those cases where catchy is good a.l.a Misery Business and crushcrushcrush. Hayley Williams has a sensational voice and the talents of her fellow band mates help them stand out on their own with an album which is highly unoriginal.
-
Apr 30, 2012This is a good album but this is paramores worst album by far there are only like 5 or 6 good songs on this whole album luckily for them its some of there most memorable songs they on here and thats what makes the album other then that brand new eyes and all we know is falling are better albums
-
Apr 26, 2012My favorite Paramore album! Every single song on this cd is a good one. Hayley Williams has a very strong voice. Every song shows off her vocal range in a different way. That is very impressive. Paramore will be here to stay.

Jul 11, 2013This is such a great album! There is literally no bad song on this album! Hayley Williams has a great voice! Great vocals and great music! Best tracks in my opinion: Misery Business, Hallelujah, Crushcrushcrush, Born For This

Mar 9, 2017Paramore's approach to Riot!'s spectrum of pop rock-driven emotions is expertly orchestrated by Hayley William's talent as a singer, which outshines the otherwise complimenting-yet-forgettable output from the rest of the band.
Album highlight: Born for This -

MatthewH.Feb 5, 2009I loooooooooove this album. Its my favourtie album of all time. It's the first album i have bought that i actually like all of the songs!!!!!

FredGSep 19, 2007The music is not original, but in the area they are in, they are exceptional. It's a very fun album and they're very young. They'll be even better next time. A lot of talent.

GaryM.Jul 11, 2007Paramore is band that has potential to grow if it wants to and, wow, Hayley Williams has such a great voice, it is truly mesmerizing. True, the album is not ground breaking in any way, but it is so much fun to listen to and there is some profundity embedded in the lyrics that some listeners (which include myself) can relate to.

KimG.Jul 12, 2007This is the best album by Paramore,and it beats 'All We Know is Falling' :D

Feb 3, 2011The best band in the world well to me, paramore wrote great tracks in this album to it was my favorite track so far and i hope you listen to it and realize its a great album and an awesome band
-
Apr 6, 2013este album es todo lo que un adolescente rockero necesita para pasar una tarde entretenida con las mejores canciones que a sacado paramore hasta la fecha pero si tu eres como yo también pensaras que la canción que dirige este maravilloso album es la increíble misery business
-
Nov 8, 2013Paramore's second best album. I still think All We Know is their best work, but Their first two albums are really what Ill remember of them. The band fell apart after the Ferro brothers left. Sad to see they arnt a punk band anymore.
-
CamilleAug 25, 2007Boring ,dull and unoriginal pretty much sum up this record.The only good thing about this is Hayley's voice which ,although nothing amazing, is pretty strong but sadly that alone can't make up for all the wrong that makes up this album.
-
-
RaulV.Jan 11, 2009Another pop-punk band? This stuff has been done to death. Popular music is becoming formulaic these days. Play some power chords over and over, keep a linear drum beat, add an okay singer, write emotional lyrics that pretend to be "deep" but aren't, and you're famous.

Apr 13, 2013It's got great songs, but this is what you can call a poser masterpiece, 'cause apart from the singles, only 4 songs are great in this album. but it's better than their debut though.
-
Oct 8, 2018Nothing more than a flyover Christian rock band, with brightly colored hair. Music just as bad as Kelly Clarkson. Pass.

WindyW.Aug 9, 2007I love there Albums and recommand others to buy there Cds.

Aug 30, 2014Absolutely epic, Paramore gives us an album that deserves to be named one of the best alternative rock albums! My favorite album from them, it's perfectly wonderful! good job, paramore!
-
Jan 16, 2015I absolutely love this album, every song is amazing and never gets old, I first heard of Paramore last year, and at first I loved their newest album, but when I listened to this album I realized how much better this was than all their other albums, and this album will remaine one of my favorite albums for a long time.

Jun 15, 2015Foxes é maravilhosa. Eu amo tudo o que ela faz, tudo bem feito, impecável. Coisa de artista de verdade, é uma pena ver que não tem o reconhecimento merecido.

Jun 15, 2015eard. They're nothing more than 5 Justin Bieber's and they will never get to the level of previous boys bands they're obviously copying like Backstrehjjjjj
-
Oct 7, 2017Great album really, but "Fences", "Born For This" & "Let the flames begin" prevented this amazing album to be a masterpiece.
But With strong tracks like "Hallelujah", "For a Pessimist, i'm Pretty Optimistic", "When it Rains", "That's What you Get", "Crushcrushcrush", "We Are Broken" & "Misery Business" made this album Great enough... Great Album -

Jan 8, 2016Mais um excelente álbum que a banda fez! Ele é inferior aos dois álbuns que o sucedem, mas é ótimo do mesmo jeito. A voz impecável da Hayley e a instrumental maravilhosa, unida as letras bem escritas, fazem o álbum ótimo.
Pontos Altos: CrushCrushCrush, Misery Business, Fences
Pontos Baixos: Let The Flames Begin, Hallelujah e For a Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimist -

Mar 10, 2018Paramore's best album to date. A great pop-punk album but so much more than that. Much better than their previous effort, All We Know is Falling. Paramore haven't been able to make an album that works as a whole album since Riot! but every track on this album works
-
Oct 6, 2018Este álbum é melhor do que o primeiro pelo facto de não soar a mesma coisa. Sempre gostei da banda Paramore e continuarei a gostar. Algumas músicas do "Riot!" são estranhas, mas a maior parte delas são interessantes e ficam no ouvido. Nada mau!
-
Aug 26, 2019Clearly their best album so far.. i love misery business and fences, so expensive

The sound quality is ultra-clean, it makes the listening experience relatively risk-free and also brings attention to the fact that there's not a lot of ground being broken here.

Blender[Hayley Williams'] Tennessee crew's second album isn't as charmingly precocious as the first. [Jul 2007, p.116]

Riot sounds like a crunching, flashlight-white amalgamation of Avril Lavigne and Kelly Clarkson, save for token ballad "We Are Broken" that echoes the enchanting eighties sounds of Belinda Carlisle.
