Paramore....pahaha...shouldnt even be talked about in the same sentence to be honest. Pop nonsense.
Agree with everything Soot and Stars says. Love, love, love this band. They do indeed transcend Emo...they are in a different league to everyone else in that genre (except Brand New). 23 is "shivers down the spine" stuff. I could, and have, listened to that song on repeat many many times.Dizzy, Polaris, Hear You Me...also truly beautiful songs.
A Praise Chorus was the first song i heard and was blown away by it. The "Crimson and Clover" bit in the middle is just superb. Bought the album and was hooked. "The Middle" is alright, but not one of their best. I do agree it does sound kinda youthful, but you need to do more digging than just listening to this to get what makes Jimmy special. Favourite album is probably "Futures"...just has more great songs on it. But "Clarity" and "Chase This Light" are also well worth parting with cash for. Wasnt so keen on "Invented" but it still had a handful of great tracks. Together with Brand New, one of the small number of bands still making music, that I love.
As far as band comparisons I think we all make correlations based on what we listen to and what our mind triggers! We all hear music differently! Anyway, the timing here is perfect as JEW have a new song out for their upcoming album "Damage"! TBH, it's sounds like the most basic JEW and for the first time an opening single doesn't hold the same excitement for me! I will get the album regardless though!
