Careful-5/5 Great way to kick the album off. Love how in the verses it starts out with drums and vocals and then the guitars crash in. Perfect opener
Ignorance-5/5 First single. Love all the lead guitar parts Josh Farro does on this song (too bad he left). Great song
Playing God-5/5 A song that's still upbeat, but with a more lighter approach. I like Haley William's vocals on the chorus
Brick By Boring Brick-5/5 Favorite song on the whole album. The chorus is what drew me in, but everything else about it is stellar. Nice guitar parts once again
Turn It Off-4.5/5 This is one of the more slower songs. It has a good intro riff. This one isn't my favorite, but not bad by any means
The Only Exception-5/5 Another slow song. It sounds really pretty. I love Haley's vocals on it
Feeling Sorry-4/5 The album picks up the pace again with this song. Great intro riff. Personally, I don't think it's the best on the album
Looking Up-5/5 This I wasn't a huge fan of at first, but it's really grown on me and become one of my personal favorites. Love the guitar parts on it. I also think it's cool that when you think the song is about to end, it keeps going. Great track
Where The Lines Overlap-4/5 This I feel is also not the best. I like some of the guitar work and the chorus is really good
Misguided Ghosts-5/5 I never thought Paramore would do an acoustic song, but here it is and it's great!!! One of my personal favorite, and this one is fun to play on guitar.
All I Wanted-4/5 The album closes out a little slower. This song is more of a power ballad, personally I don't think it's the best
Overall Impression: This is my favorite Paramore album!!! Although Riot! is very good too. It's hard to say which one's best as Riot! is more punky while Brand New Eyes leans more to the alternative side. Great album though! 10/10!
