5.0 out of 5 stars Savior Of The Soundtrack, November 6, 2008

This review is from: Decode (MP3 Download)

Not only is "Decode" the standout song on the otherwise somewhat bland soundtrack of "Twilight" (don't get me wrong...there are a few decent tracks, just not with this kind of energy), this rocker is also one of Paramore's better songs on any album...it bests "Let The Flames Begin" from "Riot" and is reminiscent of Flyleaf, a band that takes their rock seriously.

While Paramore has always been high-energy, some songs tend to drift toward pleasing the teenage demographic...not so with "Decode", the tone and straight-ahead rock nature should help this band with their reputation for a much larger rock audience of all ages.

It's not cliche' and won't get old after just a few listens...A+

I first heard this song shortly before the Twilight movie came out. Next thing I knew, I had read all the Twilight books and listened to all the Paramore CDs. (I even waited until the end of the movie to hear this song as the 'second' song rolling in the credits.

The song seems to perfectly mesh with Twilight. It is well produced and carries meshes a dark somber tone with energetic speculation. The lyrics seem to perfectly describe the underlying theme of the books.

3.0 out of 5 stars Breaking the Code, November 24, 2008

"Decode" is a perfect,brooding fit for the Twilight soundtrack. With its emo,goth, Hot Topic-muzak like sound "Decode" sonically describes the dysfunctional relationship of the vampire Edward and his mortal ladylove Bella. Paramore has a sound that blends Evanescence with alternative rock/pop. It's sort of like Saving Abel and Seether, but it's far superior.

"Decode" is about the inability to "read" another person. Edward, for example, is a telepath who can read minds--everyone's-except Bella's. The song has the desperation (and maybe self-destructiveness?) of the story. It's not only about forbidden love, but a fundamentally dysfunctional love. The course of true love never did run smooth.
