Free Music Notes for Riot!
Free Music Review: Generic Pop/Punk
Hit: 2 Stars
When the opening track of an album such as Paramore's Riot! is entitled `For A Pessimist I'm Pretty Optimistic', you just have to bite your lip and attempt to avoid the snide retort.
But, I fail. Y'see, I'm quite the pessimist, but even I was surprised by the levels of anodyne, track-by-track, prontaprint-generic, middle-of-the-road dullness here.
There was a lingering hope that, despite the Fuelled By Ramen home and airbrushed brightness of their photoshoots and over-earnest press representation, some sort of truth might be had in their portrayal as a spunky, balls-out, whirlwhind of girl-power emo ferocity.
Of course, it's all rot. Riot sounds like a crunching, flashlight-white amalgamation of Avril Lavigne and Kelly Clarkson, save for token ballad `We Are Broken' that echoes the enchanting eighties sounds of Belinda Carlisle.
Topic-wise the sole fixation of the record are those mean, horrible, cheating boys. Either singer Hayley Williams has read a lot of trashy teen fiction, or the poor girl has had more bad relationships in her tender years than the average person would deem themselves unfortunate to have in a lifetime. Riot should have the title prologue of (...Or How All Boyz Sux). Musically, it's equally as one-tracked, as Josh Farro and the now-departed Hunter Lamb (nice name) struggle manfully to get just the right amount of generic chugging and insipid riffery from their hookless guitar lines. Tracks like `That's What You Get' and `When It Rains' blend seamlessly together until it seems that the album is one long, sugar-infused bleat.
At 38 minutes long, it's mercifully brief, but still manages to feel like a double album for those who endure it. That's those who don't manage to forget that it's on the stereo at all.
People, get your pop-punk thrills somewhere else. At least somewhere where there are actual thrills to be had.

Just incredible!
From the first track to the last one you can't miss one!
What a riot that Paramore caused in me! This is fabulous! This is CD is really addictive and i recomment it to all good rock fans!
Hayley's voice, Joshua's and Jeremy's guitars and Zac's drums perform together to make a unique sound! That's what i call music: Paramore!

This latest release from Paramore shows that they not only are here to stay, but keep getting better and better. Way to ROCK Haylay & Co! Not many bands put out an album where I like every single song on it!
