We ranked every Paramore album, from their 2005 debut to last week's 'This Is Why'
is the band making the most of that potential. Coming only two years after the group’s breakthrough,is a remarkable refinement of Paramore’s pop-punk foundations, reflecting a budding maturity in the group and deepening of the dimensions their sound could take.
What drives Paramore, even with its extended runtime, is the band’s restless branching out into sounds they never previously ventured. While the album starts with a one-two of “Fast In My Car” and “Now” that draws influence from the bass-heavy alt-rock of Shiny Toy Guns and Metric, respectively, it quickly veers off into elements of power pop , xylophone-and-keyboard-infused pop-funk , and doo-wop Crazy Girls”).
In the press for this record, Williams stated that she saw the change in direction for Paramore as the band “;,” an aim reflected in their choice to make this LP—their fourth—their self-titled album.
But if there’s one song above all else that best exemplifies what Paramore excels at—in sound, in theme, in execution—it’s the stellar closer “Future.” Beginning as a soft gallop of York’s clean guitars, Williams—in muted vocals—ruminates on her own relationship with time, and how looking ahead offers more promise than dwelling on the past . Then, the mix begins to shift, and Rubin’s drums—booming, cavernous—gradually fade in.
