'Part II' it is!" [18]

Singles

On January 5, 2013, Paramore released a teaser of the lead single "Now", revealing a snippet of the song and the release date of the single, which was January 22, 2013. [33] [34] Paramore streamed the song on their website on January 21, and the song was then made available for sale along with an album pre-order through iTunes the next day. In the UK, "Now" was instead released January 24, 2013. The music video for "Now" was directed by Daniel "Cloud" Campos and premiered live on MTV on February 11. [35] [36]

The album's second single, "Still Into You", was released on March 14, 2013. [37] [38] A lyric video for "Still Into You" was uploaded to YouTube a day earlier, after the band performed it live for the first time at the 2013 South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas. [39] [40] On September 18, 2013, "Still Into You" was certified platinum by the RIAA. [41] "Daydreaming" serves as the third single from the album. It was released on December 2, 2013. [42] The music video premiered on November 5 in the UK MSN. [43] [44] [45]

Other songs

Though not released as a single, the band released a music video for "Anklebiters" on June 26, 2013. [57] [58] [59] Soon after, the band released a free to play video game similar to Pac-Man that is based on the "Anklebiters" video. [59]

The album consists of three interludes (Moving On, I'm Not Angry Anymore & Holiday). They all have raw vocals delivered by Hayley Williams and only have a simple ukelele in the background. They're all relatively shorter than the other songs on the albums, barely passing 1 minute & 30 seconds. Although being songs that Paramore Fans generally enjoy, they are not played live often, with none of them being on any tour setlists past The Self-Titled Tour. [65]

Composition

According to Patrick Bowman at Idolator , the album features the same alternative rock and pop-punk sound of Paramore's previous albums. [66] Ben Rayner of the Toronto Star stated the band abandoned the emo genre in favor of power pop. [67] Josh Bell of Las Vegas Weekly called the album a "collection of catchy, energetic pop-rock songs". [68] At Entertainment Weekly , Kyle Anderson characterized it as a "Blondie-indebted 21st-century new-wave album". [69] Matt Collar of AllMusic condisers this album to be a move towards "a multi-layered '80s synth-pop sound." [70] According to Justin Cober-Lake of PopMatters , "[the album has] touches of new wave, pop-punk, funk, alt-rock, pop, balladry, and even a series of ukelele interludes." [71] PopMatters also noted that the album "careens between edgy hard rock (“Fast in My Car”, “Now”, “Anklebiters”), ‘80s R&B (“Ain't It Fun”), power pop (“Daydreaming”), tender balladry (“Hate to See Your Heart Break”), and lavish Spector-esque melodrama (“(One of Those) Crazy Girls”)."

Upon its release, Paramore was acclaimed by music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a "weighted average" rating out of 100 from selected independent ratings and reviews from mainstream critics, the album received a Metascore of 81, based on 20 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim". [74] Scott Heisel of Alternative Press praised the diversity of the album, calling the album "a sprawling, 17-song, 64-minute monster", and regarded it as the best music Paramore have ever created. [76] Entertainment Weekly 's Kyle Anderson gave the album an A−, where he stated "Paramore are making evolutionary leaps into something both refreshingly well-adjusted and genuinely new", and highlighted "Ain't It Fun" and "Proof" as the album's best tracks. [69] The USA Today writer Brian Mansfield found that on the album the band "has super-sized its sound". Mansfield also commented that "Williams' sarcasm seems less forced than her enthusiasm, still, Paramore shows a band determined to get out of the misery business." [83]

Matt Collar, writing for AllMusic, declared "The record's collaborative foundation crackles on every track, but Hayley Williams, a ballsy, extroverted frontwoman with a voice big enough to stop time, proves unequivocally to be the cunning talent of the band, no matter how vital York and Davis may be". Collar regards it their best album. [75] At AbsolutePunk, Jack Appleby said "Instead of pursuing all things epic or intentionally moving to a specific sound, the band had a blast pursuing every genre under the sun, creating a damn good album in the process ... Chances are you won't dedicate undivided attention to Paramore, but you'll regularly queue the whole record." He concluded with that the album isn't for everyone, but has something that anyone could enjoy. [84]

Rebecca Nicholson of The Guardian regarded the album as a pay off, despite the band "switching it up", where she states "...this is more loose and playful, while still indulging the band's ability to pull off mammoth, arena-friendly choruses." She regarded the album a little too long, however. [78] David Renshaw at NME observed "...this mainstream rebirth feels like a transitional step to something gigantic." [79] Jon Pareles from The New York Times found that the band's songwriting survived the departure of Josh Farro. In addition, Pareles noted that they "have pushed the band beyond pop-punk without abandoning momentum or the big, catchy chorus." [85]

By contrast, Sputnikmusic's staff reviewer Channing Freeman was highly critical of the album, giving it a one and a half out of five as well as calling it, "fucking foolishness". Freeman criticized the exclusion of J. Farro and the songwriting, stating "I guess the sad conclusion here is that Paramore needs Josh Farro, who maybe could have tempered all of the crazy fucking songwriting decisions that were made on Paramore."

Notes

  1. ↑ From 2022 onwards, digital streaming versions and physical re-issues of both the standard and deluxe editions of the album had their cover changed to an image of Williams from behind. It has been speculated that the album art was changed to remove Jeremy Davis, pictured left in the original image, who had had a falling out with the other members of the band, at one point being involved in a lawsuit against them.
