Riot! (Bonus Track)

I bought and actually like this album. Its catchy- its got lots of good lyrics and a decent band! At first I was skeptical but I listened to the album several times and I like it! If they keep on the Misery Business, Crush Crush track they will be a great band. The rest of the songs are great- its just those 2 stick out.

I was given this cd not to long after it first came out. I had a friend from Las Vegas who had been following them for some time and thought I'd like them. I listened to the cd and was amazed. It was awesome to see a strong female lead a band like Paramore. I also saw them live at Warped Tour 07 and they have amazing stage presence. This is the type of band I'd love to work for one day.

This song is AWESOME. I heard about Paramore after they did the song 'Decode' for the Twilight movie. I listened to it, and fell in love with Paramore. I downloaded the entire Riot! album off Amazon and loving it! Well worth the money I spent for it. As an added bonus, Hayley is HOT! lol

I really want to hate this kind of album. I'm pushing 30 (clearly not the target audience). I was around when the first wave of emo collapsed in the late 90s. For me a lot of the current emo bands have a "been there, done that" feel to them and generally prompt me to say "The Get up Kids did it better 10 years ago". I was shocked when this album really only had one clunker on the whole thing (Hallelujah). I'm used to one or two good songs from these new emo bands, not 11.

This band is actually pretty good, especially for such a young group. They have a strong female vocalist, sing-a-long choruses and good pop sensibilities. Unlike 99% of emo bands, they also have a good sense of rhythm (even the older emo bands generally struggled with that). Probably the best emo album released lately by someone other than Jimmy Eat World. It doesn't surprise me that the kids love this album. I can see why. It's good.

I'm a sucker for a band with female vocals, so it seemed like it would be a good buy. I really enjoyed a few of the songs on this album...for a month. Somehow, I found myself skipping their songs on my MP3 player rather frequently. Simply put, I just got sick of the album (and that rarely happens with me). I'd say, it's ehhh... ok.
