Claude says:Paramore torched their pop-punk formula and rebuilt as a new wave band, pulling from 1980s synth-pop to wrap themes of exhaustion and anxiety in deceptively bright production — a complete sonic pivot that landed with critics and made year-end lists across the board. You gave it a quick spin when it dropped in 2017, bouncing between "Hard Times" and "Rose-Colored Boy," but it never stuck around.
