On their incredibly polished debut, it's obvious that someone has done Williams wrong, but the well-trained boys in her band seem to realize that these vaguely emo, but mostly mall-punk tracks are better off recalling what you might've heard had you just dropped the attitude and accepted the fact that the last Avril Lavigne disc totally ruled.

Paramore are for the kids who think Pink is not cool enough but My Chemical Romance are too scary, they want to rebel but they have to be in by 9 o’ clock. Paramore are not terrible; they are simply a transitional band.
Debuting album All We Know Is Falling sees Paramore capture the essence of mid 00s pop punk with hints of alt rock and emo scattered throughout.
Instrumentally the record falls into many tropes of early 00s pop punk, playing it very safe with William’s vocals being the most significantly unique sound through the entirety of the project.

It’s definitely their weakest album and the melodrama is more pronounced here than on any other album of theirs. I do think though that the hits easily outweigh the misses. Its definitely doesn’t rival what they would go on to make but its still solid.
Favorite tracks: all we know, emergency, my heart
