After Laughter review

Warning: Obvious spoilers ahead, so be wary if you have yet to listen to Paramore’s new album!

At long last, Paramore has released record number five, titled “After Laughter”. Hayley explains, “After Laughter is about the look on people’s faces when they’re done laughing. If you watch somebody long enough, there’s always this look that comes across their face when they’re done smiling, and I always find it really fascinating to wonder what it is that brought them back to reality. So, that’s what After Laughter is.” I think that’s pretty cool.

Any Paramore fan knows all about the hard times that the band has been through over the years (yes, pun intended). So, it’s not any wonder why 90% of the lyrics on this new album are quite heavy on the dejected side. Personally, I love how honest Hayley was about her feelings and emotions while writing the lyrics, and isn’t afraid to show it on this record. She has always written honest, raw, emotional lyrics about the tough moments in her life and in their band. All We Know Is Falling was mainly about Jeremy quitting for a while, while Brand New Eyes was largely about the tension between the Farros and the rest of the band. Writing After Laughter about Jeremy’s second departure from Paramore, and the subsequent lawsuit, only makes sense.

I thoroughly enjoyed the juxtaposition of Hayley’s emotional lyrics and Taylor’s (and, on some songs, Zac’s), often upbeat compositions. It keeps the album from being far too depressing. The beats and riffs are catchy and easy to tap your feet to, which I love. I can picture myself dancing to the live versions of these songs (especially now that we know that a US tour is indeed happening soon!)

And now, a track-by-track breakdown. Please note that I am not a musician, so if you want detailed opinions about Taylor’s intricacies, talk to someone who knows more about that. I’m just your average music lover. I don’t even know if my personal ratings (out of ten) are accurate to how I feel about the song. You’ll notice that nothing here is a perfect ten. I’ve always had difficulty assigning a perfect score when people ask me to fill out ratings on surveys, so the same applies here. Maybe there is always room for improvement. Or maybe I just don’t know how to rate things properly. Shrug.

But I digress. So, without further ado…

Track #1: Hard Times Walking around/With my little rain cloud/Hanging over my head/And it ain't coming down Rating: 7/10

Ahh, our first foray into the After Laughter era. I knew to keep an open mind when I first heard that Paramore would be going in a different direction with their new music. No more hard hitting, heavy guitar riffs (at least we will always have their older pop-punk material to satisfy that craving). And sure enough, this track’s opening line is played on steel drums. I remember turning to my fellow P-more fan friend at this part, joking, “are we in Jamaica?!”. I’ve heard people say, before the album came out, that this was quite a departure from their usual sound. And at first, I agreed. But after a few more listens, I realized that it actually isn’t that much different - sound-wise - from, say, Ain’t It Fun. It sounds different enough where it’s certainly no Ignorance (or even Riot!’s heavier b-side, Decoy), but it’s still got that familiar hard drum line (oh how I’ve missed Zac’s drumming) and a recognizable Paramore riff. Sure, it’s a bit more 80s than anything they’ve ever done before, a quality that’s reiterated in their music video, but who says that’s a bad thing? Got to love the reference to “Don’t you ever wonder how we survived” in Monster (intentional or not, just something I noticed), made in Hard Times’ lyric, “And I still don’t know how I even survive”. I LOVE when bands reference their older songs in lyrics. Might be a big reason why I loved Part II so much. PS, can we also talk about that last final shot of Taylor awkwardly walking off-screen in the Hard Times music video? I rate that an eleven out of ten.

Track #2: Rose-Colored Boy I want you to stop/Insisting that I'm not/A lost cause/‘Cause I've been through a lot/Really all I've got/Is just to stay pissed off/If it's all right by you Rating: 8/10

This song opens with a cheerleader-esque chant, “low key, no pressure, just stay with me and my weather”. I have to admit that I’m not the hugest fan of that little part. I can’t quite put my finger on why. Maybe it’s a bit too cheerleader-y. However, the rest of the song is quite solid. Hayley put a bit of attitude in her vocals on this one, especially on the mini runs (“And oh, I’m so annoyed”). That, along with her lyrics, perfectly conveys the frustration upon meeting someone who is just. So. Damn. Sunny. Like, come on, not everything in life is sunshine and rainbows (add in an eye-roll). We’ve all been there: we are in a funk. We want nothing more than to go home, pull down the shades to complete darkness, and wallow in our rotten mood. But oh, no, of course we have to see the one person who makes it his personal mission to pep everyone up. Take off those damn glasses, man. But the melody is happy and upbeat…again with the confusing juxtaposition, which I find such a clever disguise. Also, I saw a graphic floating around Tumblr that compared the lyrics in the bridge, “You say my eyes are getting too dark now”, to Hate To See Your Heart Break’s, “I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close”. Again, it might not have been intentional (or maybe it was, because there are several more references sprinkled throughout this record), but either way, yasss.

Track #3: Told You So I know you like/When I admit that I was wrong and you were right/At least I try/To keep my cool when I'm thrown into a fire Rating: 8/10

When this song came out before the album’s release, I loved it (and still do). At first, I loved it just as much as Hard Times (which, was a lot). But then, I started to find myself playing it more than Hard Times. Not to say I disliked Hard Times, but out of the two early-released songs, I prefer this one. I love the music video as well (great job writing and directing, Zac!). In this article, it explains, “He based it on the band’s car rides after recording sessions in L.A. ‘Zac noticed that my anxiety and overall state was just a lot more peaceful on those drives,’ lead singer Hayley Williams told The FADER, ‘and mentioned to me that it made him happy to see me rest for a moment. It means a lot that they conceptualized a video around a passing moment we had as friends.’” Oh, my heart.

The music is so catchy, especially with the use of a xylophone (watch the video the band posted on social media of Taylor recording that part, if you haven’t already). And the intricate guitar riffs during the pre-chorus of “I hate to/say I told you so/but they love to/say they told me so”…and during the chorus (“say they/say they/told me”)? Wow. Major heart eyes, Taylor.

Track #4: Forgiveness And I don't pick up when you call/‘Cause your voice is a gun/Every word is a bullet hole/Shot a hole in the sun Rating: 8/10

This track is one of my favorites. Hayley’s voice is SO on point here. I love the vocal melodies she wrote in the verses, and how the beat isn’t constant. The beat between “another heart attack” and “if I lay on the floor” are shorter than the others. Does that make sense? (See? I told you I’m not a musician!) But if you’re following me, then maybe you’ll agree that it makes this song more interesting. I like how the vocal melody is simple but still catchy. The harmonies are great too.

Track #5: Fake Happy You think I'll look alright with these mascara tears?/See I'm gonna draw my lipstick wider than my mouth/And if the lights are low they'll never see me frown Rating: 9/10

This one might be my absolute favorite on the record. The opening verse starts off slowly drawn out with a simple guitar, and an effect on her voice that makes it sound like it’s coming through speakers. And then the beat picks up, and wow. The bass lines on this track might be one of my favorites (shout out to JMJ!). The lyrics are so sad, because they seem the most real to me: during the self-titled era, the band put quite a bit of emphasis on the fact that they were doing much, much better after the drama with Josh several years prior. However, now that we’ve heard this song….we have to ask ourselves: was that all a ruse? It seems so. The line in the bridge, “I know I said that I was doing good and that I’m happy now” seems like a direct reference to their Self-Titled Deluxe released demo, Tell Me It’s Okay (“tell me it’s okay to be happy now/because I’m happy now”). So now that they once again assure us that they’re better now (in part two of the Zane Lowe interview), are they really? We might never know. By the way, the teacher side of me can’t help but cringe at the incorrect grammar in the bridge. But okay, for you, Paramore, I will let that slide. Something something, “artistic license”. (I will bite my tongue to keep from pointing out that the word “well” would have totally fit fine).

My favorite part of this track may be the chorus. It seems to be the most upbeat song on the album, perhaps the most danceable. It may be a strange thing to dance along to such a catchy song while simultaneously singing, “Oh please don't ask me how I've been/Don’t make me play pretend/Oh no, oh what's the use?/Oh please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too”. Again with the confusing rollercoaster of emotions this band is putting us on….

Track #6: 26 Reality will break your heart/Survival will not be the hardest part/It’s keeping all your hopes alive/When all the rest of you has died/So let it break your heart Rating: 8/10

The first time I heard this song, I was pleasantly surprised to hear a finger-picked guitar-centric ballad. True ballads like these are somewhat rare for Paramore; I can count on one hand the number of slow songs that they have (Misguided Ghosts, In The Mourning, Hate To See Your Heart Break, am I missing any? The Only Exception picks up at the end, so I’m not including it in this list). My point is, this song is gorgeous. Apparently, Hayley was just waiting for Taylor to send her a finger-picked ballad like this. That makes two of us, Hayles. As for the lyrics, when I listened to them the first few times, I was sad, but it took about four or five listens before I unexpectedly started tearing up (same thing happened with Tell Me How, but more on that later). I believe that was thanks to the combination of the lyrics and the dejected but beautiful manner in which Hayley sings the song (but really…her voice though. Damn.). Yet another reference to an older song, Brick By Boring Brick, is made in 26 with the lyric “after all wasn’t I the one who said/keep your feet on the ground”. I love that. Also, I would be remiss in not mentioning one of my favorite parts about this song: the strings. Oh, God, the strings. I am a sucker for the brilliant use of strings in a slow song (I blame Copeland for that). On this song, the swelling violins (and probably other instruments? Viola? Cello? Someone more knowledgable, please help a girl out) do a wonderful job of ripping out your heartstrings (ha, ha) and mushing them haphazardly back into your body. The feeeeeels.

Also, I heard two brilliant covers of this song from some mega-talented Paramore fans, and it didn’t help my heart any. Major ouch.

Track #7: Pool And I wonder is it better to get it over with?/The illusion can shatter before we begin Rating: 8/10

After the emotional experience of 26, we’re back to upbeat songs. What a relief! Pool is After Laughter’s resident love song. The lyrics are interesting because they correctly describe the reality that any relationship - not just romantic, but also platonic and familial - is usually something that at times brings you both immense joy AND heartbreak. Taylor said in the Zane Lowe interview, “It’s always the coolest thing about hearing what Hayley writes. She’s being honest. There are so many love songs that say, hey man, everything is perfect and beautiful, and everything about you is awesome and this is all great. But Hayley always writes for the people who can’t relate to that, and they’re saying, man, I love this person, but I am dark, and this feels dark. And I always love that because that’s real. With songwriting, we’ve all figured out that it’s not always the things that you want to communicate, or you want to come out. It’s the things that need to.” Right on the nose with that one, T. It’s quite interesting to compare the sentiments of Pool to Paramore’s other love songs, such as Still Into You and The Only Exception. This seems to be the more grown-up version of those songs. The honeymoon period is over, and Pool seems to be the result of what comes next.

Right off the bat, I love the sound of the bells. It’s something that I don’t really ever think I’ve heard in a song, and it gives it a nice touch. Paramore is certainly experimenting with new sounds this time around, and I’m totally here for it.

Track #8: Grudges I know you're shaking my hand like it is the first time/Are we alright?/Are you recounting all my faults?/And are you racking your brain just to find them all?/Could it be that I’ve changed or did you? Rating: 6/10

Grudges is one of my least favorite songs on the album. That’s not to say that I outright dislike it; I like every song on the album. But something about this track just doesn’t quite do it for me like the others do. Zac had a hand in writing this song, but I know that that’s not the reason why it’s one of my least favorites. I mean, have you heard his other band HalfNoise? If not, check out French Class or Know the Feeling. Zac is a great songwriter. I think one of the reasons why I don’t love this song is that it seems like the lyrics are crammed into the verses, and they don’t seem to fit as seamlessly. I do enjoy the actual content of the lyrics, however, and I’m glad that they wrote a song about welcoming Zac back into the band. Plus, hearing Zac himself sing in the bridge was a treat; his voice is quite good (again, listen to HalfNoise). I’m happy that he’s back in the band, and in an article, he says that the Farros’ departure in 2010 had more to do with Josh than Zac, which I figured. Anyway, back to the song: the chorus is catchy, and I admit that I found it stuck in my head on more than one occasion, but overall, I prefer other songs on the album to this one.

Track #9: Caught In the Middle Nostalgia's cool, but it won't help me now/A dream is good, if you don't wear it out Rating: 6/10

Caught In the Middle is another one of my least favorites, but again, I don’t dislike it. In fact, I don’t think Paramore is capable of writing a song that I outright disfavor. The song seems a bit elementary to me, if that makes any sense. I do enjoy some parts of the song, such as the lyrics in the bridge, “I don’t need no help/I can sabotage me by myself” (which, by the way, always reminds me of Twenty One Pilots for some reason. I don’t know their music well, but it just seems like a vocal melody that they would write). The bass line in the chorus makes it feel like we’re in Jamaica again.

Track #10: Idle Worship Oh, it's such a long and awful lonely fall/Down from this pedestal/That you keep putting me on Rating: 8/10

Idle Worship, aka: the closest thing to a rap song that Paramore’s ever done. I haven’t seen Hamilton, but Idle Worship makes me think of Lin Manuel Miranda. I’ve heard a few of the musical’s songs, and Idle Worship’s verses remind me of it. Will any Ham fans agree with me? Upon first listen, I wasn’t sure what to make of this song. The verses seemed a little frantic. However, as I sat with it, I came to really enjoy it. The chorus is strong, and the lyrics are creative. My favorite lyrics are probably, “Remember how we used to like ourselves?/What little light that's left/We need to keep it sacred/ know that you're afraid to/Let all the dark escape ya/But we could let the light illuminate these hopeless places”. Brilliant. Also, speaking of brilliant, Taylor explains in the Zane Lowe interview that the sound that opens the song is actually a modified sample of a real-life sound that results from the wind vibrating through a metal grate atop a skyscraper in Manchester, England, called the Beetham Tower. Who thinks of these things? Oh, that’s right. Taylor York. Raise your hand if you’d like to live in his brain for a day just to see the kinds of genius things that pass through it. *Raises both hands enthusiastically*.

Track #11: No Friend I’m no savior of yours, and you’re no friend of mine Rating: 8/10

No Friend is the first and only time that Paramore has invited a guest vocalist to sing on their record (not counting the Self-Titled Deluxe cd…sorry, Joy Williams, but the deluxe wasn’t an official studio release). Since Hayley is completely absent from this track, you wouldn’t even know it’s a Paramore song if you hadn’t heard it on the album. I will be the first to admit that I am not a big mewithoutYou fan. I can appreciate their talent as musicians, but their often post-hardcore music isn’t in line with my tastes. However, Aaron Weiss’ spoken word on No Friend combined with Taylor’s composition just…works. It’s definitely the most interesting song on the album, what with Aaron’s vocals being very low in the mix, to the point where it’s difficult to hear what he’s saying (but thanks to the wonders of the internet, I can look it up). Aaron and Hayley apparently co-wrote the lyrics, and though I don’t know who wrote what, I will say that these lyrics are the most clever and deep on the entire album. “So throw your pedestal of stone in the forgetful sea/As protection from the paper-thin perfection/You project on me.” And again with the references to their older songs. I won’t put them all here; consider it a scavenger hunt of sorts. I also quite enjoy the way the instruments slowly fade out at the end until all that’s left is Aaron telling a story about accidentally grabbing a bear in a river.

Track #12: Tell Me How Of all the weapons you fight with/Your silence is the most violent Rating: 8/10

I’ve decided that as much as I LOVE Paramore’s heavy pop-punk guitar riffs, I’m always here for a P-more ballad that isn’t afraid to stir some real emotion inside you. Like 26, this track randomly hit me several listens into it, when I suddenly found myself with goosebumps on my arms and tears in my eyes. Whew, my heart hurts just thinking about it. Are we to assume that this song is about Jeremy? “I know you think that I erased you/You may hate me but I can't hate you/And I won't replace you” suggests that notion to me. They were friends for a very long time, and after all they’ve been through over the years, despite what’s happening right now between them, I can’t imagine they’d just cut him out of their lives, just like that. Paramore is resilient, and no stranger to drama, and it makes them stronger artists for it. I think they needed to write this album, and get some things off their chest, and I don’t doubt that in a couple of years, maybe after this whole thing blows over, they’ll reconcile with Jerm just like they did with Josh. Only time will tell. But Tell Me How manages to twist your heart with its honesty and desperation, and accompanied with the simple piano in the beginning, just really fits.

So there we have it. Track by track, more or less my thoughts. I could have gone into more detail about each individual song, but I think honestly, most of them speak for themselves. This album is really solid…and I’m not just saying that as an obvious Paramore fan; the lyrics and mood of the album are very truthful, and I consider it akin to a diary of their life as they’re living it now. Like I mentioned earlier, we as fans of the band are all too aware of the current unfortunate situation they’re faced with, and we each have our own individual opinions about it, but I feel like few bands would let us take this deep of a look at just how much they are (or were) hurting. They’re not wearing a mask anymore. Their self-titled album was all about how much better their lives were, and now after hearing After Laughter, we realize that it was mostly just a facade. Many people hide their emotions; it’s human nature. But to let those walls down and expose the extent of your pain is a very vulnerable thing to do, which is why I’m grateful that this band trusts us enough with this album.

Overall, my favorite tracks are (and this is subject to change at any moment) Fake Happy, Forgiveness, and 26. My least favorite songs are Grudges and Caught In the Middle. But all in all, I very much enjoy the album as a whole. I’ve listened to it, from start to finish, way too many times to count, and I’m no where near done. Thank you, Paramore, for releasing this gem. I’m proud to call myself a fan and thankful that you haven’t given up on yourselves, or on your Parafamily. I hope you never will.

Must-Read Larry Fics

It’s come to my attention that certain people I know have not read some of these, so I am compiling a list of my Must-Read Larry Fics for your reading pleasure.

1. Relief Next To Me by Dolce_Piccante 

AU. What happens when a baker and a graphic designer meet via a very specific Craigslist post? Fate, friendship, food, and maybe more.

2. Young & Beauitful by Velvetoscar

Louis, to his horror, attends an elitist university in which the name Zayn Malik means something, Niall Horan doesn't stop talking, there are pianos everywhere, and Harry Styles, only son of a drug-addled, clinically insane ex-rocker, has a perfect smile and empty eyes.

3. And Then A Bit by Infinitelymint 

“We’d like to give the fans what they want.” Magee states, placing his hand on the table in front of him and leaning forward. “We want to give them Larry Stylinson.”

Or, take a parallel universe where Louis and Harry were never together, mix in a two year hiatus and an impending comeback, pour in a dash of lost fans, two tablespoons of strong friendship and a Modest! employee with a good idea. Add a squeeze of pretending to be a couple, lots of kisses and a tattoo or two. Stir. Serve: the mother of all publicity stunts.

(aka Harry and Louis fake a relationship for publicity. Eventually it becomes a lot less fake and a lot more real.)

4. Nothing Else But Us Right Here by Supernope

Louis sighs and gives himself a mental pep talk as he smooths his jumper down over his hips. He can do this. He can resist the draw of Harry Styles, because he is a responsible, mature adult, and as much as he wants to tangle his fingers in that mess of hair and map those ridiculous tattoos with his tongue, he does not want to get his daughter’s favorite teacher fired.

5. Wild and Unruly by 100percentsassy and Gloria_andrews

Harry is a cowboy sitting on the biggest oil reservoir in Wyoming, and Louis is the paralegal assigned to pressure him into selling his land.

6. Led By Your Beating Heart by Missandrogyny 

Nick leans over. "Oh," he says, his voice smug. "Who is that?"

Harry just blinks at his phone. "Um," he manages to stammer out.

"Who's that, Harry?" Nick asks again, but this time he raises his eyebrows and smirks. Harry knows Nick is just teasing, and that he's not really looking for new Harry Styles gossip, but, um. He might have found something. Accidentally.

Harry opens his mouth to speak, but all that comes out is another 'um'. He really needs to work on translating his thoughts into words. But then it probably wouldn't be any helpful right now, would it? His mind is as blank as a newly erased etch-a-sketch.

"Oh," Nick says again, this time gleefully, seemingly having picked up on Harry's distress. "Looks like we've got a story here! Are you going to call or delete her number?"

Her number. So Nick thinks it's a girl. Well, Harry can't blame him: 'Lou' is kind of an androgynous nickname. His stylist's name is Lou.

But this Lou, well, Louis, he's kind of, really, really not a girl. He's really pretty though, which, is something.

(Or: AU where Harry's in One Direction, Louis isn't, and they reconnect over a game of 'Call or Delete'.)

7. Have You Coming Back Again by Whoknows

It’s five o’clock in the morning. Louis has a lecture at half eight. He could be using this time to study or to do his readings or to go to the gym, but - well. He doesn’t have any exams coming up, he’s not going to his seminar today anyway and he hates the gym.

Instead he’s using this time to fuck with Harry Styles’ poor little brain.

Louis jogs across the street and jabs the key into the car door. It opens easily, not that he was expecting anything else. He copied the key for a reason, after all.

He’s got Harry’s schedule memorized, more because the guy keeps following him around than anything, so he doesn’t bother looking around before climbing behind the wheel and setting his bag on the passenger seat. It’s a Monday, which means that Harry doesn’t even get out of bed before noon unless he’s planning on harassing Louis.

8. Let Me Make A Thing Of Cream And Stars by Miss androgyny 

It doesn't explain why he's lying on the floor, with Harry Styles, of all people, planking on top of him.

As in, seventeenth most influential person in London, pop-star-turned-rock-star Harry Styles. The same Harry Styles who has had countless model girlfriends, left, right and centre. Also the same Harry Styles who has been the subject of Louis' wet dreams since he was about eighteen.

(Or: Louis is a Radio 1 DJ and Harry is a pop-star he interviews.)

9. Let’s Talk About Making Love by istajmaal 

That’s my name, baby, I’m Louis.” The voice on the phone inhales sharply, then says, “Gonna take my cock now, princess?”

Harry lets out a high-pitched mhmm and shudders as he pulls his fingers out of his hole, groping for the vibrator. “Nice to meet you,” he says, feeling a bit dizzy with how hard his untouched cock is.

Louis is just a simple phone sex line operator, but to Harry, he's Daddy.

10. Give Me Truths by Iwillpaingasongforlou

'Just like a little cat,' Louis thought later, as he drifted off to sleep. 'A little kitten with his claws sunk right into me.' It isn’t that terrible of a thought, after all. ............. Louis is a psychology student with a tattoo count as high as his genius IQ. Harry is in a (sort-of) relationship with a homophobic man and hates himself a little more every day. Things fall apart and Louis puts him back together.

Or, the one in which Louis falls in love with a fragile boy and tells him every beautiful truth in the world, as long as it makes him happy.

11. Put It All On Me by Loadedgun

"Yeah, yeah, give it to me, that's it, spread your legs a bit, there you go."

The camera follows Louis as he does. Maybe if the modelling thing doesn't work out, he could try the porn industry. Then again, he's a bit too stocky to be twinky and a bit too twinky to be anything else. He likes that about himself, though. Well, directors and photographers like that about him. He could pull off pretty and edgy, could do GQ in the morning and a perfume commercial in the afternoon. Right now he thinks he could pull off anything, because it's Harry fucking Styles directing him.

Or, a Top Model AU where Louis is accidentally there to make friends, not become Britain's Next Top Model. (Also Zayn is the supermodel host.)

12. Want You More Than A by Thecellardoor

Falling in love with your step-brother’s best friend is a disaster enough. When he happens to be the boy everyone loves and you’re a nerd who wears sweater vests and cries during rom-coms, it takes it to a whole new level.

13. Loving You Is Free by Littlelouishiccups

Louis is a workaholic record label CEO who hasn't been on a date in nearly a year. Niall and Liam make an account for him on a sugar dating website as a joke. And then Louis meets Harry.

14. Always Come Back To You by Whoknows

“I’ll do it,” Harry offers brightly. No one even blinks. “I’ll do it?”

Louis sighs irritably. “Shut up,” he orders, tossing a pillow in the general direction of Harry’s face. This is a terrible time for jokes, especially Harry’s lame, old people ones.

Not that it was an old people joke. Just that most of the time Harry’s jokes consist of knock-knocks or terrible puns. The type of jokes old people like, Louis’ pretty sure. His nan always finds them hilarious when Harry tells her one.

Harry bats the pillow out of the air without even blinking. “Be reasonable, Lou,” he says in his most reasonable voice.

Louis is perfectly reasonable, thank you very much, and he’s also frustrated and upset and tired and he really wants to punch something. Maybe he should have held on to that pillow a little longer.

“You’re not gonna fucking do it,” he snaps. “That’s the last thing I need.”

15. Speaking Of Marvels by Navigator and Quitter

AU. Louis is a nanny in suburban New Jersey, and the neighbors' son is home from college for the summer. It was supposed to be a fling.

Okay, this is getting long af so I’ll leave it there BUT THERE ARE SO MANY MORE!!! READ READ READ!! I MEAN IT!
