5.0 out of 5 stars I really wanted to hate this album. But couldn't., October 1, 2008

I really want to hate this kind of album. I'm pushing 30 (clearly not the target audience). I was around when the first wave of emo collapsed in the late 90s. For me a lot of the current emo bands have a "been there, done that" feel to them and generally prompt me to say "The Get up Kids did it better 10 years ago". I was shocked when this album really only had one clunker on the whole thing (Hallelujah). I'm used to one or two good songs from these new emo bands, not 11.

This band is actually pretty good, especially for such a young group. They have a strong female vocalist, sing-a-long choruses and good pop sensibilities. Unlike 99% of emo bands, they also have a good sense of rhythm (even the older emo bands generally struggled with that). Probably the best emo album released lately by someone other than Jimmy Eat World. It doesn't surprise me that the kids love this album. I can see why. It's good.

As a 48 year old who spent many years playing in bands myself, I was starting to think that picking up an actual instrument and learning to play was a soon to be lost art. Some kids actually think that playing Guitar Hero or Rock Band makes them a musician. Hint: NOT!!!

Then I found Paramore... These kids are good... Real good... And they have let me know that Rock music isn't going anywhere just yet.

Riot! is a great place to start if you are new to Paramore, there isn't a bad song on the album. "That's What You Get" is as catchy as they come, "When It Rains" shows the band has a softer side and "Misery Business" just flat out rocks!

I haven't had the chance to see them live yet, but I will when I can.

Give this album a chance, you won't be disappointed.

Definitely worth the price if you like Paramore. I ended up enjoying most of the tracks on the album. This is a great band with an energetic sound that grows on you.
