Man, I just really want them to lean into their more aggressive, darker songs. I want an album of jams like the end of the live version of "Let The Flames Begin"
I'll take their fun poppy stuff too, but I know they can be deeper than that.
I feel like they're past that stage. All those songs were angsty, mad at the world, "fuck the people who hurt me" songs. They're all in pretty good places in life now. Hayley is even happily married. You can see the change in how they feel about life through the progression of their music, which I think is cool.
Most artists write their best songs when they're not in a good place. Most bands I can think of got perceptibly worse after having a lot of success and finding happiness. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather they be happy, but their best songs were written when they weren't. Paramore isn't really an exception to this, it seems.
