For a band who have experienced their fair share of internal hard times, US pop-rock titans Paramore have always found ways to bounce back. Although their permanent lineup hadn’t quite solidified on 2013’s self-titled album, it was chockful of songs that nodded to the restless need for change, with Moving On, Grow Up and Future all noting the urge to strive forwards even if it means leaving old relationships behind. By the time they got to 2017’s After Laughter, Paramore’s sonic and emotional metamorphosis was nearly complete, but there is something in the self-titled record’s work in progress that reminds you of the rewards of taking that first leap.
