Paramore - Ignorance

Paramore are gained extreme popularity since their chart breaker Hallelujah, and have comfortably stood in the front of the new resurgence of the rock genre. With the likes of Fall Out Boy and Panic at the Disco paving the way for electro-rock, Paramore have found a sound that stays quite raw amongst the beep beep synth sounds of their compatriots. Hayley Williams delivers strong vocals with the the rest of the band driving some very rifftastic rhythms. The chorus lacks the same impact as the verses; it just doesn't hold the same momentum and melodic interest. The catchyness of the hook 'ignorance is your new best friend' makes up for this although when the song finishes you somehow feel an emptiness, but maybe this is because I no longer hold that teenage angst which gels so well with lyrics like 'yeah I've got friends who stuck together, we wrote our names in blood'.
