Two of my favourite bands from high school have put out new albums almost at the very same time. I'm very happy about this.
Paramore released their
self titled 4th album last month to rave reviews. The self titled album was the band's first release after 2 members of the band quit in 2010 so all ears were listening to see if the band could make something as good as what they have previously put out. Thankfully they can. You MUST listen to my favourite track '
Aint it Fun' which features a gospel-style choir at the end. Honorable mentions also go to '
Grow Up',
'Still Into You' and '
Anklebiters'.
Absolutepunk said "As a full record, Paramore certainly isn't for everyone - but there's certainly something for everyone. If you're not having fun at some point of the album, you're probably not trying." I completely agree.
This record is exactly what my inner teenager lives for.
Save Rock and Roll is the title of Fall Out Boy's 5th album and marks the return of Fall Out Boy after their 3 year hiatus. The lead single
'My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light 'Em Up) sounds exactly like what I wish my time in high school had been like. (In reality it was more like Weird Al's
White and Nerdy). Make sure you check out the other 2 singles
The Phoenix and
Young Volcanoes because they're amazing too. Save Rock and Roll features some incredible guest stars in Courtney Love, Elton John, Big Sean and Foxes so make sure you listen to those tracks. Especially the
title track with Elton John; whoever thought of putting them together is a genius.
