Nov 7, 2013Paramore became something totally right, well crafted and between the lines, when everything everyone loved about them was that they were stripped, misfits and bold.

Sep 4, 2013Paramore's newest album is missing what made albums like Riot! so great. They experimented with new sounds in this album but most of the time it didn't work because it didn't sound like the Paramore we have come to love over the years. change can be good but in this case it didn't work for a good chunk of the album. After the departure of the 2 primary band members they haven't been the same.

Apr 22, 2013I was waiting for one of the tracks to kick into the pop-punk awesomeness that was a hallmark of Riot, but it never happened. Not my style at all, but I can see where it can be appealing. I'm sorry to see them move away from a style that made them what they are. Innovation is good, but not at the expense of your identity.

Apr 9, 2013This got an 84 and Riot got a 67? Wow... critics are dumb as hell.
Riot is so much better than this electronic-crap.
Vocals are edited so much on a lot of the songs that it's pure annoying with her voice.
Drums have improved since the last CD though. -
Jan 16, 2015When I first got into Paramore I was obsessed with this album now that I've listened to all four albums I've realized how crappy this is, don't get me wrong it's a great pop album, but God awful Paramore album, the only reason I'm rating it this high is because there are a few good songs, and I feel sorry for them.

Apr 9, 2013Electronic? Or just messed up? Probably both...First of all, the album has too many useless, droning songs. Secondly, the racy Paramore I knew were gone. Not that I am complaining about it, but that Hayley Williams is singing silly boring lyrics. And where is the power pop? Some good songs...but too long and too calm...

Classic Rock MagazineJun 21, 2013A parade of beige pop numbers that even Taylor Swift would turn down for being too generic. [May 2013, p.86]

May 3, 2013Paramore is both the band’s most polished and messiest album, which somehow pays off.
