Hm. Wonder what it'll sound like. Loud and heavy (Paramore heavy) opening riff. Spiritual-ish lyrics and vague negative references to past band members. Well thats just guessing.

Should be interesting to see how the band goes after losing two members... I think that the absence of Josh's writing will be evident in their future work. He was a good lyricist.
Anyway, I always assumed that Josh did most of the lyrics. The songs that were Hayley + any other band member weren't as good.

Its obviously a song written by Hayley. Women singing about men being monsters. Lady Gaga anyone?

Maybe I'm wrong, or have no idea what I'm talking about. It certainly wouldn't be the first time that I've done that.

Meh, not really looking forward to this one. Never was a fan of this band.

I'd better not find out the hard way that the Farro brothers were the brains of the operation. I know Zac was practically their secret weapon.

John Mayer called her the Great Orange Hope.

The band makes it known that she's main element of them as well in their live shows. Almost like she's the little sister of them all. When I saw them last year in Miami, the guys all carried her off the stage since she didn't want to stop bowing to everyone. It was kind of funny.

Fixed. ;) With the Farro brothers gone I can't imagine this being anything amazing.

Really? The Farro brothers, especially Zac, were so lifeless and boring. I've seen Paramore live twice and literally both times Josh and Zac looked like they'd rather be dead than playing the show. In interviews, they looked so miserable and hardly ever spoke. Oh, I'm sorry, is it really hard to be part of a multi-platinum band playing to thousands of fans around the world?
Josh is a good songwriter, but so is Hayley. I'm sure this will be great, I'm super excited for it.

Hmm, I wonder. Could this possibly become their first Top 40 hit on active? I have a pretty good feeling it'll go Top 10 easily on alternative though.

Sounds really good. Will probably do pretty well on Alt. Have they ever had a #1 though? I don't think they have.

I think that "Ignorance" could have, had the chart not been so competitive during the time of its release. New AFI, Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, "Savior" doing its thing...It just wasn't in the cards.

This song sounds amazing. A lot more rock than they are typically known for and I like that.

Am I listening to the same clip as everyone else? People keep talking as if this is an active rock song. I'm not dissing the song or anything, but most of their radio singles are 10 times rockier than this clip. This clip is about half speed, similar to "decode".

It sounds pretty good... would expect a little bit better from them though. Will make it's move on ALT charts but won't do much on CHR

Meh. I'm feeling lazy so get ready for some copypasta action.
The music is interesting in a pensive way but the lyrics are kinda flat because there's no room to read between the lines.

Sticks to the Paramore sound despite the leaving of band members. I can see how it will fit in the Transformer movie definitely. As for it's success, probably will be minimal, maybe top 20 on Alt but definitely nothing above that.

I actually really like this, but it's nothing special compared to previous material
