 For the Pop Kids and Wannabe Rockers July 18, 2007
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
Paramore is all about Hayley Williams, and that shows pretty bad on Riot!, the band's second album. The music is as plain and generic as it gets, sounding like just about every other pop rock/emo band out there right now. Hayley is a decent singer, and the melodies, although nothing groundbreaking, are actually quite decent. Unfortunately fairly good melodies never have, and never will make up for poor lyrics. Williams tries to be witty but ends up sounding whiny and overly cynical (think Anberlin without the clever word plays).
At the end of the day this is good music for teens who THINK that they're rockers (fans of the Academy Is, Cute Is What We Aim For, etc) but are actually good pop kids. Skip this if you listen to real music.

Up until the day I heard "Misery Business", I had never heard of Paramore. Since buying the album, I haven't been able to stop listening to it. I honestly love every track with my favorite being "CruchCrushCrush". There isn't any other band I can compare this group to which is a good thing.

This CD was actually recommended to me by a friend and I'm an eclectic music listener..if you look at my ipod..my music tastes range from Red Hot Chili Peppers, Interpol, Nirvana, Radiohead, to Usher, Kanye West..to Faith Hill and Leanne Rimes, Rachael Yamagata and Sara Bareilles. Needless to say, I'm not a music snob and I know what I like..and Paramore tops my list! I love every song in this CD!

Paramore is the next generation No Doubt. From Hayley's passionate vocals to the band's rockin' capabilities, this is the next hot group in rock. Each song on this CD is worth listening to, I don't skip any. My fave tracks are Misery Business and Crushcrushcrush. This CD is worth the money if you're debating this over anything else!
 Why hasn't anyone given this 1 star April 2, 2008

This album deserves one star; bad lyrics, boring vocals, bad/boring musicians, bad everything. Leave this to the 14 year old girls who don't know any better, and pick up something worthwhile.
