  ...And we'll dig a deep hole, to bury the castle!! Alright so I'm a 15 year old guy from middle of somewhere Wisconsin and I became a fan of Paramore in early 2008 when my friends introduced me to music videos for the songs Crushcrushcrush & Misery Buisness from their sophmore album "Riot!" which I asked for and recieved at Christmas last year. I love Riot!, but there was some room for improvement in that album. It rocked, but not every song totally hit it off for me. Enter "Brand New Eyes." I was browsing around amazon.com a week or 2 ago and saw that they had this album on pre-order for $9.99 and thought that I would get it. Well, today I got it in the mail and to be totally honest, it pulled a John Wilkes Booth on me. Snuck up on me and blew my brains out (only in this case that's a great thing, not in any way a tragedy) -1-__Careful: First song on the album, maybe my favorite on the cd. Sounds a lot like The Paramore I know from Riot! and their 1st album "All We Know is Falling," only x2. Very fast, catchy, and Haley Williams' range is displayed beautifully in this song. Well, her voice rocks in every song haha, but this song showcased it awesomely. -2-__Ignorance: "Brand New Eyes" single #1, I thought this song would be the best on the cd, I was hooked on listening to the song through watching the music video for it online and loved it. I still love it, a little more of vintage Paramore. Love this song, especially the lyrics to the chorus. -3-__Playing God: This song is the first on the album to really represent their new sound, mellower sound that still rocks. The song has got a great point to it and is very catchy. -4-__Brick by Boring Brick: This song is so much fun to sing along to, it's got an addictive tune to it, the drums really stand out in this song, the lyrics are awesome (as most of the songs are), The bridge goes very well with the song as it stands out from the speed of the song but fits in perfectly with it somehow, and I can garuntee that this will end up as one of your favorites on the cd. -5-__Turn it Off: Haley Williams is amazing. Her vocal ability shines through this song, as does Josh Farro & Taylor York's guitars, Zac Farro's drums, and Jeremy Davis' bass especially. The song flows really well. -6-__The Only Exception: The even softer, sweeter side of Paramore. They pull out the acustic guitars for this one and it sounds. It was by this song that there was the thought in my mind that this album may have already surpassed Riot! on the freakin good music meter. And the rest of the cd proved me right! -7-__Feeling Sorry: The Pace picks up again as Taylor and Josh pick up there Fenders again put in another solid track to the album. The Bass and drums also sound awesome in this song -8-__Looking Up: Another great song with one of my favorite beats on the cd. The whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh's in this song are extremely catchy and the guitars in this song sound awesome. By now I know, this is even better than Riot, something that I wasn't totally expecting when I ordered this cd. I was wrong in thinking this would be a "good" album and I'm I was. This is an amazing album! -9-__Where the Lines Overlap: "No one is as lucky as us! Is as lucky as, us." Another great song lyricly, this song has one of my favorite beats on the whole cd. This song is very smooth and yet another example of Haley Williams vocal skill, and the way the whole band can keep you coming back for more." -10-__Misguided Ghosts: The 2nd acustic song on the cd...wow. This song is magical...one of my personal favorites. It's so...pretty, soft, almost feels like a daydream. Your lost in it for a while. However, also like a daydream, this song is rather short which is kind of a shame because it's so good. -11-__All I Wanted: The songs closing track, starts out slow but picks up speed as it goes along. Kinda like your dads oldsmobile, only once it picks up it seems more like a Mustang. Haley's screams in the song are amazing, and are a great way to cap off an amazing cd. Bascily, each and every one of the songs on the cd are outstanding! I couldn't recommend this cd more, I love it to death! I've been listening to it all day, I can't get enough of it! It's totally worth your $10! The only downside is you'll go through some Paremore withdrawal when it's not in your cd player, your car, on your iPod, or whatever. Believe me, "Brand New Eyes" IS. THAT. GOOD. BUY IT.
