Product Description
Over 2 million records sold, three gold and one platinum single, a gold DVD release, countless sold out tour dates and numerous awards and nominations including the 2008 Grammy Nomination For 'Best New Artist' Award, you can say that Paramore has reached mainstream stardom. Arguably one of the most anticipated releases of 2009, 'brand new eyes' is by far the band's most personal album. Produced by Grammy Award-winner Rob Cavallo (Green Day, Kid Rock, My Chemical Romance) and co-produced by the band, the long-awaited follow-up to 2007's platinum certified second album, 'Riot!' The 11-track collection is unquestionably Paramore's best and brightest album to date, fit to burst with all the exuberant melodies, breathless hooks, and irrepressible energy that has made the Nashville-based band one of the most popular rock outfits in recent memory.

The case was cracked and it was therefore not "like new."
Otherwise good condition.

best paramore album ever August 5, 2010

I'd like to start out by saying I love All We Know Is Falling, then everything that came out after that was just mediocre until this album. This album is probably one of the best albums I've ever owned, and at least Paramore's best one for sure.

The songs are catchy but not only that they are relatable, clever, and just downright awesome. Hayley's voice is a powerhouse as much as ever. The guitar and melodies are beautiful. But more than any of that stuff what really makes this album are the lyrics. This album puts into words all the things you've felt but never knew how to say.
I try to pick a favorite song from this album but it just constantly changes. I love "ignorance" for its sarcasm but then also its blatant honesty. "Brick By Boring Brick" is so pretty, and who can't relate to being innocent? "Playing God" We all know those people who think they are above everyone else. "Turn It Off" I sure can relate to wanting to turn that voice off in your head every once in a while and just not care. To me this album is way better than RIOT!, she's no longer singing about stealing people's boyfriends but about deeper emotions. I think some people were disappointed with this album, because they were wanting more of the teen rock songs like "Misery Business" or "CrushCrushCrush." Instead of getting radio hits we got a deep emotional album, which I definitely prefer.

Hayley is my girl. 4 stars. July 9, 2010

At first, I wasn't sure what to make of some of these songs. I really enjoyed some of the songs on Riot but when comparing them to the songs on Brand New Eyes, the songs didn't have that same catchiness, overall. HOWEVER, that might be the best part of this album. It has DEPTH.

And to say there are NO catchy songs on this CD is not true at all. Why you might ask? Because I've had this CD for a week, and I'm already singing along to some of the non-singles. It's my best purchase I've made this month so far. Not that you should compare the two, but I also bought Lady Gaga's The Fame which is good in its own right, but not as good as Paramore's third entry.

The CD itself kinda has a theme. And that's losing a bandmate and even almost breaking up over it. But they chose to persevere. Us fans are really glad too! I'd rather not live in a world without Paramore. Hayley is a decent vocalist and an awesome personality to have around, celebrity-wise. So yeah. Kudos to her! And big ups to the rest of the band too for making this CD sound great.

Songs on the CD are as follows:
1. CAREFUL
2. IGNORANCE
3. PLAYING GOD
4. BRICK BY BORING BRICK
5. TURN IT OFF
6. THE ONLY EXCEPTION
7. FEELING SORRY
8. LOOKING UP
9. WHERE THE LINES OVERLAP
10. MISGUIDED GHOSTS
11. ALL I WANTED

My favorites in order are probably 'Misguided Ghosts' (heartbreaking and honest), 'Turn It Off' (fun in a twisted, almost dark kinda way), 'All I Wanted' (really easy to listen to) & 'Feeling Sorry' (grew on me. really upbeat and cool).

The two tracks that skate on the filler side are 'Looking Up' and 'Where The Lines Overlap'. They are still decent tracks, but they aren't great. And they put them right after one another. :-/

Anyway, great CD. I don't care what anyone else says. Yes, it's not as immediately catchy and flamboyant as Riot is but it is probably the better CD. It is very, very consistent and I don't regret buying it for a second. I see myself listening to it for a while on and off.

4 stars or an 8/10.

great album by Paramore, not so poppy July 5, 2010

I first quickly breezed through this album last year on their myspace page and decided that the songs didn't sound catchy enough for me. I was hoping for another Riot-like album, which this isn't. For example, there aren't any songs like "Crushcrushcrush," "misery business" or "That's what you get" on this.

It reminds me more of All We Know is Falling, but it mostly carries with it a new vibe altogether. After listening to "The Only Exception" on youtube and loving it, I decided to re-listen to the album, and I realized that I'm glad that it doesn't sound like Riot, it's fresh. Zac has some pretty awesome drumming on this, and Hayley's voice sounds a little more mature and natural sounding, not so piercing and digitally altered like some of the tracks from their previous works.

Just keep in mind, most of the songs on this are not as radio-welcome as riot; the songs are not as simplistic, or poppy. So the average radio-listener might not enjoy it. They are a little more raw than that and require that you listen to them a few times through before you really can appreciate the mixing/songwriting/musicality.

Overall, this is the perfect next installment to the Paramore collection. It's got a new feel, but it still has that Paramore sound to it.

If you like Paramore, definitely buy this album, and if you've never heard of them, give it a try. If you like alternative rock, you'll more than likely enjoy this band.
