"When Your Heart Stops Beating" sees Mark shining throughout the whole project like never before by having his best vocals and lyrics to date accompanied by a more alternative and less poppier sound, proving that he doesn't need Tom DeLonge to make a great record, something he failed to do later on his career with California and NINE.
I loved this album and I really wish +44 would see the light of the day again, maybe even just for a quick single.
One of the best pop punk albums I've heard in a long while, pleasently surprised and can't wait to dig more into their discography!
I revisited this project a couple of days ago as I really didn't like it back then for some weird reason.
Needless to say, I'm glad I did. While my favorite project by Paramore is indubitably the self-titled album, Brand New Eyes is an incredible improvement from the already great "Riot" sonically and lyrically-wise, making it relatively fresh to this day.
