For the few people who care, new Paramore that doesn't really sound like Paramore

I quite like it. Its catchy enough, I think it kind of sounds a bit like a cross between bloc party and taylor swift.

- I've heard a few tracks, and the album is a little bit of a swerve ball in places.
  As they said in the interview, they were really up for experimenting but not deviating too much.
  I like this one, it sounds like No Doubt swinging from a chandelier.

I'd prefer new Paramore that sounded like Paramore

- That's exactly what I said.
  
  But after hearing the first single I am optimistic about the album. I hope they don't deviate too much from their old style though. I love Paramore.

- Same
  
  If you're talking about the single 'now' (I can't click youtube links at work) anyway, I haven't heard the album yet. Very excited about it though!

  - no i mean this new song
    
    'Now' is okay, but a little underwhelming
    
    this new one is pretty addictive.
    
    the only bit i don't like is when she sings this bit...

They've been listening to a lot of Tegan & Sara, eh?

- Should I give Tegan & Sara a go then?
  
  If I like 'Now' I mean?

  - T&S are more like Still Into You

- Album was produced by the same guy as new T&S
  
  He was also in Nine Inch Nails and produced last M83 LP and has worked with Beck and Tori Amos, so perhaps not too easy to pin this "sound" on him.

- Wow, yeah...
  
  This would not sound out of place on Heartthrob - she's even nailing that clipped T&S vocal phrasing.

the best bit in almost every Paramore song is that little tumble out of middle eight

They always save an extra little uplift.
And then you click repeat and the first verse feels even bigger.
