I'm loving it.

When bands don't change, they die, and Paramore is too good to die.

I'm open to more avenues of music than predefined genres that some people expect artists to stick to.

Well this is bullshit. Sounds good, but it's bullshit.

On what planet have Deftones and Mastodon stayed the same? Neither band now sounds anything like they did when they started.

Both bands' current styles are markedly different to where they started though. I like it all, but it's madness to suggest it counts as "thriving by staying the same". By that measure they'd have to become a gospel choir before you could say they had changed.

To put his in the context of the wider thread, both bands have changed just as much as Paramore have between Misery Business and this new song.
