From a musical standpoint, I wouldn't find myself normally listening to the mid-2010's production with the dubstep sonics and the dated pop sound.

Paramore's self-titled fourth studio album is in my opinion their best. It isn't easy to create a consistent 17 song album but they more than managed to do that.

A lot of people probably won't agree with this but here we go. This is my favorite indie pop album ever. My girlfriend liked this album so I decided to give it a listen and my expectations were blown out of the water. Its runtime isn't very long but it executes its goals to the fullest. To many it's just another cute indie pop record to listen to in the background of one's life. To me it's a masterpiece.
I didn't even realize this album got hate until I went to review it. While it may fall flat towards the end (not including Tokyo Smoke), the first 8 tracks are pure musical bliss. From Social Cues to Love's The Only Way might be one of my favorite album runs of all time.
Wasn't super in love with this album. On Time is an amazing opener that had me really excited for the rest of this album. Didn't really care for much after that until the song run that stretches from Metro Spider to Walk Em Down.
