Brand New Eyes [CD]

I definitely became a big fan of Paramore the moment I heard Hayley's vocals and the band's music on "All we know is falling," however, when I heard "Brand New Eyes" for the first time, I wasn't fully impressed. I felt as though the heart felt emotions that one could hear and the band's authenticity of reaching out by mixing post-progressive yet indie music was no longer evident on this album. I also felt as though that unique sound that Paramore had started out with was no longer in play either. Although hayley's lyrics are emotional and full of depth, I feel as though her vocal stylings have changed as well to the point where I no longer feel as though they're unique as they were on the first and second album. However, speaking as a musician, I feel as though as Paramore has dipped into other musical stylings, and have tried different things that they were not able to explore on previous albums. I guess ultimately, it just makes me sad that they'll never be the Paramore they once were when they first debuted with their first album only because that album has changed my life.

Some people seem to be giving this record the short hand. I think that if you loved 'all we know is falling' you would def. love this. Riot was amazing yes, but thats what put them on the charts, was the commercial pop songs. This one is a little more real, and the lyrics are amazing, you get to hear them going through the thick and thin, and sticking together. They say them selves if it were not for the fans, there may be no paramore. Misguided ghosts is my favorite, it kindof gives me a death cab for cutie feel. Once again true fans will love, so buy the cd:) i agree with the person above one of the best cds of the remaining 09-2010:)

At first listen, I was dissapointed in this album. After a few more listens, I have learned to appreciate it for what it is. It is a new sound for them. Long gone are the RIOT! days. This album is extremely personal to them apparently. It is worth listening to definitely though. Ignorance, Turn It Off, Brick By Boring Brick, and Looking Up are album highlights. The Only Exception is also a great song. It is remniscent of past song My Heart. This is a great album for Paramore fans. It is even better for those who are new to Paramore. They can ease into it without comparing it to the older sound.

This CD is just amazing!! I like all of their previous music, but this CD just hit the spot. I like the fact that for each song, there is some personal value and that the audience can connect with what the band is singing about. And I listened to the CD over and over again while I was driving back to Penn State. It was in the moment I left the house!!! And while I drive to my classes or if my friends and I are going out, this is the CD that is playing!!! WAY TO GO PARAMORE!

This is hands down the best sounding Paramore album to date. Like AWKIF the passion behind the lyrics is extraordinary. And like Riot! they maintain that high energy and pop rock sound we know and love. But its better then both by far. I know it's different, and a lot of people might not like it, due too the new sound. But it shows Paramore going in a different direction. Which in this case is a very good thing. Noted tracks, Misguided ghosts, Ignorance, All I Wanted, The Only The Only Exception

This is my favorite Paramore album. There's no weak track on the whole thing. In fact, I would recommend getting the Deluxe Edition, which includes acoustic versions of two songs, which I like even better than the originals. This was their last album before turning pop. Obviously, many people enjoy their pop sound, but I think their rock roots are their real calling.

One of the best albums of 2010. Great vocals, guitars and drums. Recommended songs to listen too are: Ignorance Playing God Brick by Boring Brick The 3 songs alone show the growth and maturity of the band as well as the range they show from Emo to rock to pop-rock. Very nice album. A+ Pickup this album today. You won't be disappointed.

definitly buy this album. dont think that its an all girl band just the lead singer is a girl and she rocks! all the songs are amazing and everyone in the band has great talent. all of the lyrics are also very meaningful and powerful and you can tell a lot of thought was put into the songs.
