Essential Albums
- Thank goodness for Paramore: With their second album, they continue to combine the giddy thrash of Fall Out Boy with the sophisticated emo of their label, Fueled by Ramen, sparked by the firecracker presence of frontwoman Hayley Williams. Until Paramore appeared, emo had been almost entirely dominated by male perspectives. Here, Williams brings a much-needed female outlook to the genre—and some serious nerve, in the case of boyfriend-stealing anthem “Misery Business”—along with the ability to sing like a demon (“Miracle”) and an angel (ballad “When It Rains”).

About Paramore
“Every time we do a record, I get so married to who we are in that moment that I’m scared for us to go be something else,” Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams admitted to Apple Music in 2017. “Because what if we’re not as good at that?” Decades into the band’s career, her fear is unfounded. After forming in the Nashville suburbs in 2004, Paramore pushed pop-punk out of the mosh pit and into stadiums precisely because the group was so successful at reinvention. Early albums like 2007’s Riot! embraced hard alt-rock sounds, pairing pop-punk-driven angst with the urgent, emo-schooled dynamics of Jimmy Eat World, most successfully on the pogoing “That’s What You Get” and the band’s first Top 40 hit, the 2007 love-triangle rager “Misery Business.” Williams herself became the Warped Tour generation’s foremost feminist voice, unafraid to call out injustices, inequality, and sexism; in fact, she even later publicly spoke out against “Misery Business” lyrics that painted the song’s other woman in a nasty light. In subsequent years, Paramore crossed over via acoustic ballads (the 2010 hit “The Only Exception”), breezy, gospel-infused funk (the Grammy-winning 2013 single “Ain’t It Fun”), and upbeat pop (2013’s “Still Into You”). Along the way, recurring personnel changes would reshape the band’s sound and chemistry, but Paramore persevered, dabbling in tropical disco (2017’s “Hard Times”), stirring post-punk (2023’s “This Is Why”), and ’80s rock via a jubilant 2024 cover of Talking Heads’ “Burning Down the House.”
