“Misery Business” is the other huge hit that solidified Paramore's position as one of the greats of the genre. Paramore broke into the mainstream with “That’s What You Get,” a catchy pop-punk/emo rock tune that was everywhere from MTV to the radio and even the video game Rock Band 2. This time, original bass player Jeremy Davis was also able to record with the band.

The album was recorded and released in 2007 with mainstays Williams and the Farro Brothers. Riot! has two of their biggest hits, their signature sound, and their incredible variety. Image from All Music Here it is folks, Paramore’s most popular album. Best Tracks: Conspiracy, Never Let This Go, My Heart Riot! (2007) The album is a must-listen for newcomers of Paramore music but don’t expect any of these songs to be played live- even though “Conspiracy” deserves a slot in their setlist. Occasional mediocrity aside, this is an important album for the band and many of the fans who have stuck with them since 2005. However, even with some mediocre songs, All We Know laid the foundation of what Riot! and even Brand New Eyes would later be. This is, without a doubt, their worst album compared to the other four. However, the record has many unique riffs and melodies thrown in on the tracks “Conspiracy” and “Never Let This Go”. Tracks like “Whoa” and “All We Know” feel trapped in the early 2000’s with their melancholy teenage-anthem sound. The sound of this album is exactly how one would expect an album from 2005 would sound. Williams’ vocals are sharp and to the point in every single one of these songs, with the standouts being “Conspiracy” and “My Heart”. These tracks let the listener back in 2005 know who Paramore was. “Pressure” and “Emergency” are the two main singles from the album, and they hit hard. The music is moody, the guitar chords are melodramatic and most of the lyrics are what you’d expect: “I’ve seen love die way too many times/when it deserves to be alive.” However, with All We Know, Paramore laid the foundation for what their sound was and would continue to be. Now, this album is probably their most “emo,” if you will. Davis did not appear on this album even though he is the original bassist (he did, however, appear on the tour). Meanwhile, a new contender at the Fueled by Ramen label was emerging… Paramore premiered with All We Know Is Falling ( All We Know ) on July 26, 2005. Fall Out Boy had everyone singing “Sugar We’re Going Down” and “Dance, Dance.” At the same time, “I Write Sins Not Tragedies” gave Panic! At the Disco an audience.

Image from Babetalk 2005 was an interesting year for rock music as emo rock was spreading to a wider audience. In this guide I will cover all five Paramore studio albums from All We Know Is Falling to After Laughter. With hits like “That’s What You Get,” “Misery Business,” and “Ain’t It Fun,” Paramore has toured the world bringing fun melodies, catchy hooks, and heartfelt lyrics to fans everywhere. With some lineup changes, Paramore has managed to create a discography with sounds ranging from emo rock to indie pop. Growing pains and breakups have definitely plagued the band members with hard times over the years. Lead singer Hayley Williams, guitarist Josh Farro, drummer Zac Farro, and bassist Jeremy Davis all hail from Franklin, Tennessee. If you were a teen in the 2000’s, chances are you have listened to Paramore.
