Paramore

Paramore is the fourth studio album by the American rock band Paramore, released on April 5, 2013, through Fueled by Ramen. It was recorded between April and November 2012 and produced by Justin Meldal-Johnsen, with lead guitarist Taylor York co-producing on four tracks. It is the first album without guitarist Josh Farro, the only album without drummer Zac Farro, and the final album with bassist Jeremy Davis before his departure in 2015. The band described the album as being a "statement" and a reintroduction of the band to the world and to themselves. In contrast to the band's previous work, the production of Paramore showcases the band's experimentation with new musical genres, such as new wave and funk rock, and features three acoustic interludes. Paramore was acclaimed by music critics, who praised the band's maturity and experimentation in terms of musicianship as well as Williams' vocals and overall presence on the album. Several publications included the album in their year-end lists, including The A.V. Club and The Guardian. It was a commercial success, debuting at number one on the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 106,000 copies.
