The Evolution of Paramore
🔀 SS #104 • from "All We Know Is Falling" to "This Is Why"
I never think of Paramore as one of my favorite bands of all time but, every time I revisit one of their albums or see one of their live sets on YouTube, I realize how much I like their music and know a lot of the lyrics and melodies. So it’s probably safe to say that yes, I have listened to a lot of Paramore over the years, and continue to do so.
Upon their recently released 6th studio album This is Why (2023), I caught myself again revisiting their discography and remembering how much I enjoy pretty much everything they’ve done so far, from their roots as a very young pop-punk-emo band, until the more recent change of pace into a synth-pop and post-punk influenced sound.
So to celebrate their many eras and extremely successful career, here’s a journey through their discography over the years, both sonically and visually, in chronological order from their first to latest release.
🎶 Pressure
from their debut album “All We Know is Falling” (2005)
🎶 Misery Business
from their sophomore album “Riot!” (2007)
🎶 Decode
from the “Twilight” movie soundtrack (2008)
🎶 The Only Exception
from their third album “Brand New Eyes” (2009)
🎶 Monster
from the “Transformers” movie soundtrack (2011)
🎶 Ain’t It Fun
from their fourth self-titled album “Paramore” (2013)
🎶 Hard Times
from their fifth album “After Laughter” (2017)
🎶 This is Why

It was a great stroll down memory lane. Especially enjoyed the "Riot" album from 2007. Back then "That's What You Get" was my fave
