Instead, her talent as a singer is curtailed and fans are only presented with her lyric writing and piano playing ability. Fans grew to love the songstress through her overbearing emotion in “The Only Exception” and her captivating anger in “Misery Business,” but neither of those are present there. The indistinguishability of the album’s middle songs was exacerbated by the fact that for most of the album, Williams’ powerful vocal range remains unexplored.

Granted, Paramore has already proven that they can produce good pop music, but where their previous discography has primarily been alternative pop-punk, After Laughter, which dropped May 12, is the band’s first full album that can be categorized as exclusively pop.Īlbum opener “Hard Times” encapsulates that new pop style, with upbeat drums, an ‘80s synth vibe and some tropical beats - which sonically offer a different take on pop music than the common industry fare. After Laughter is an attempt at something spectacular, but falls short of being a clear-cut success. The band seems to have fans devoted enough to follow them through a major genre shift - this time from pop-punk to pure pop - regardless of whether or not the attempt is successful. Many groups completely metamorphize from one genre to another, ignoring the grievances of their adorning devotees. Most artists, at some point in their careers, have an epiphany that they need to change and cater to a wider audience, often eliciting angry calls of selling out from die-hard fans.
