After a two year gap the young Paramore are back with a brand spanking new studio album ‘Brand New Eyes’. The third album from the Tennessee phenomenon kicks straight in with in-your-face, full-on, pop/punk assault that is ‘Careful’, which immediately reminds you of pint-sized Hayley Williams powerful and trademark vocals. This is a much more mature album, taking them to a new level and surely capturing them even more fans. In our opinion for what they do this album is faultless, pure perfection throughout. We even get treated to the acoustic masterpiece ‘Misguided Ghosts,’ showing the diversity that Paramore offer their fans. There is one track which blows us away, above all other tracks, and that has to be the awesome ‘Brick by Boring Brick’. Overall this album just goes to show with confidence why Paramore deserve to be playing dates at venues as grand as Wembley Arena towards the end of the year. Certainly a third album to be proud of. 10/10
