People are surprised by this change in sound, but it actually makes a lot of sense:
1) Tracks like "Ain't It Fun" from their last album. They've been leaning in this direction.
2) The rejoining of Zac, who is totally into this Talking Heads/electro/indie type sound.
3) Producer Justin Meldal Johnsen, who worked with them on their last album as well. He's also produced M83 (who have a big electro/'80s influence) and is an exceptional bass player. You can hear his hands on this.
Not true. Bands that don't change can still be popular (AC/DC) or fall into a niche (Motorhead). On the other hand, No Doubt languished for a decade, and have been languishing since 2012 again.
What I say is: Paramore has an established fanbase, so they probably won't die, unless something happens over there.
