The best song on the album, вЂњAinвЂ™t It Fun,вЂќ is almost a perfect pop song, peppered with sing-a-longs a gospel effort on the bridge and closing upbeat, staccato guitar riffs and snarky lyricism. Follow that jam up with the hook, вЂњSome of us have to grow up sometimesвЂќ from the song вЂњGrow Up,вЂќ and Williams might as well be on her own crusade of emotional release.Д«ut who knows? Williams is a lover, and the lyrics could be about anything, right? Heck, their second single, вЂњStill Into You,вЂќ is a pop-modern-love song and, as the title implies, is a heavy dose of never-leave-your-side, the opposite of crawling back from death. It feels a lot like Paramore grown up, like when you see your cousin for the first time after five years and heвЂ™s drinking a beer.

Messy guitars and screams echo in the backdrop. вЂњThereвЂ™s a time and a place to die,вЂќ Williams sings, вЂњbut this ainвЂ™t it.вЂќ On the heels of the bandвЂ™s real life drama, it becomes more than just a lyric it flirts with being an anthem. The attrition may have been necessary, sad or not, we all benefited in the fallout.ДЄccording to the powers that be, ParamoreвЂ™s first single вЂњNowвЂќ is a song thatвЂ™s a little more reminiscent of the conventional Paramore sound. And if Paramore and the remaining band can write an album like this self-titled one, it may be more of an implication that in order for the band to grow, Williams had to take over anyway. ItвЂ™s sad the Farro brothers left, but it almost always happens when the weight of a band (even just in perception) is carried by a sole individual-just ask BeyoncГ© or Justin Timberlake. If you flip the coin, the Farros were standing there saying the band was just a puppet for WilliamsвЂ™ master plan-she is, after all, the only one in the band signed to a major label. Williams (and bandmates guitarist Taylor York and bassist Jeremy Davis) announced the departure of the Farros on their website with the distinct implication that the brothersвЂ™ hearts werenвЂ™t into it.

And if you include the recent evidence in the bandвЂ™s war of words-mainly the first-hand account of Justin and Zac FarroвЂ™s departure-you may be inclined to believe Paramore is, quite literally, just vocalist Hayley Williams and doesnвЂ™t need a band at all. This statement is ironic because-on their fourth full-length release-it would seem they needed to shed almost half their weight to make the album they were meant to make. Paramore does their best when theyвЂ™re doing Paramore.
