Hope you guys react to Hayley's newest solo album

David H

Brand new eyes is gonna rock Kevin’s world

Mandy

Petals For Armor let's gooooooooo

Matt

Since you said you've been watching some interviews and things, I highly highly recommend watching their Zane Lowe interviews for both After Laughter then This Is Why. The most open, vulnerable, and insightful you will see them get as a band, and really highlights their evolution as a band, but particularly Hayley's as a person and where she was at mentally during the making of the two.

Logan

Taylor York (the guitarist) is an underrated genius his writing and producing is phenomenal.

Brigitta Spethson

With the amount dad was raving about Hayley, might I suggest you guys also check out her solo albums.

Unsweetened

Their entire discography is so unique in its own way but still retaining their sound. One of the all time greatest American rock bands truly.

joey cherrybon

and to that point, just the title of the album. its perfect, its like "yeah, we had our fun, now heres this". anyway, man i just really love this album, means a lot to me

joey cherrybon

important to note just how different this was from the previous work when it first released. coming to it after listening to the most recent album, it all makes sense, but when this first dropped it was pretty wild conceptually, and even more wild that they managed to pull it off so well. what a fantastic album, one of the last cds i ever bought before i fully made the transition away, and man was it worth it

Alan

You guys should totally check out Paramore’s Self-Titled and Sudden Feeling by Halfnoise which is their drummer Zac’s solo album before he rejoined the band after being out for years. After Laughter personally hit me perfectly when it came out because it felt like the perfect mix of the lyrical writing and song structures of their self-titled mixed with the sounds Zac was expirimenting with at the time for his solo work. Was a lifelong Paramore fan by that point and this album dethroned Brand New Eyes as my favorite by them easily within a week of release. And the live show for this album was just perfect as well.

Edvin Kadric

hell yeeeee

Mitchell Owens

Someone beat me to the punch with extra context for No Friend, but I always loved its inclusion after Idle Worship - Haley having the lead from her favorite band write a song about the history of her own right after a song about not worshipping your idols always felt like a self aware follow up to that. Mewithoutyou is my favorite band so it was shocking to hear Aaron show up. This and Brand New Eyes are my favorite paramore records!

Brody Thrash

Can’t wait to see y’all listen to brand new eyes !!

marina

favorite band of all time, excited for this and more in the future!

Tommy pickles

Yay one of my faves! Also Connor I need that jacket x

Hays Fischer

loveeee paramore so much!! you guys should listen to Halsey's newest album The Great Impersonater!

Ashley Timperio

PLEASE listen to Aurora!!!!! She’s incredible

Ashley Timperio

I’ve been a fan of Paramore since their first album. Have been so lucky to see them live over the years and they are just incredible! Hayley is just a powerhouse of talent. I hope you guys listen to Brand New Eyes album. It was so impactful to me when it came out and I was young but it’s been an album I return to so often even now.

Gabriel Felipe Martins

This is the best. Thanks for sharing

George Greene

Love this! One of my personal favorite projects of 2017. If you guys are looking for some more unique alternative or indie pop, the newest Rex Orange County album was awesome. Lots of mental health stuff. Even if it doesn’t make a video, totally check it out off camera. Thanks for always being a positive force. Peace!

TTT

😂- K

Maja Westerlund

oh my god, i can't believe this, this is perfect

Nikko Nelson

My favorite album of all time! Great pick

Alix

Finally had time to watch and i looove watching Kev fall in love with this band. They are the best ever. I'd even say this album is maybe their most important/personal? Also if you do ever get to see them live, do it!!!!! It is an experience like no other. Seeing them support Taylor here in the UK was extraordinary (BDTH is easily in my top 5 paramore releases but live it is a whooole other beast). So glad you love them!!

dfq

Ok now that i've finished watching the reaction, i'm so glad to hear Kevin liking the album so much. I'm a Paramore OG fan and this is my favorite record from them. To this day i'm rewatching concert footage from this specific era, there was just something magical and emotional about the After Laughter tour. All the iconic weird dance moves from Hayley, Zac coming to the front and doing a song from his own personal band (HalfNoise), all the mashup songs and covers they did this era; Hard Times + Heart of Glass (+ one line from Genius of Love) Rose Colored Boy + I Wanna Dance With Somebody Grow Up + 20 Something Crushcrushcrush + Beat It (only once on Parahoy 2018) the drake cover they did (Passionfruit) the Fleetwood Mac cover they did (Everywhere) I can go on and on... ICONIC era!!! (for me)

elsie

mewithoutyou (aaron weiss’ band) is hayley and taylor’s (guitarist) favourite band and has been since they were young. some of no friend is taken from an email sent by hayley to aaron, when explaining the subject matter of idle worship! (and i have to echo what everyone else has said, you need to hear hayley’s petals for armor (produced by taylor) and flowers for vases (which hayley has said comes between parts 1 & 2 of pfa) )

Zahra

Insane timing!! Over this past weekend, Pool was coincidentally my most listened-to song!

lex

Hayley actually did marry Chad (unfortunately). They were together for 9 years, got married in 2016 but it only lasted a year. She's been with Taylor since 2018! She also sang girls just wanna have fun twice. Once with Kacey Musgraves, and once with Cyndi herself just a few months ago. you guys should definitely check out brand new eyes next by them !

MartiniMartinify

Nice this is one I’ve been waiting for for some time. Now Bon Iver self titled and I,I and then my ancestors can rest peacefully

Josh Martin

Just signed up for this one! Lets go!

Zack W

Also a huge fan of AURORA and Orla Gartland, I may just secretly be Kevin

Jack Shaver

I changed it thank you. I was writing so fast lol

dfq

YEESSSSS been waiting on this one! i'm halfway through the video and just pausing to inform you guys about Hayley planning to tour her solo work for the first time ever in 2025! You guys might mention it in the video since Kevin said he follows them online.. but just in case he missed it. Might want to get into Petals For Armor and Flowers For Vases before tickets/tour dates get released etc. She was originally going to do small shows in 2020 before the pandemic ruined it all.. but getting tickets to that tour was BRUTAL. Just a heads up.. aaaand i will finish watching the reaction now.

"I wouldn't call it a sexiness." As someone who's been a Paramore fan since the mid-2000s I'd DEFINITELY call it sexiness 😂😂 Hayley is my all time celebrity crush, was obsessed with her as a teen and it's still just as strong now as a guy in my late 20s.

Ben Dillon

let’s guuuuuhhhhh!!! more paramuuuhhhh!!

Lebron James

New Bad Bunny is a must listen, some insane percussion on track 3 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Lara Morrison

Please do Paramore's self-titled album from 2013!! It was a big departure from their previous sound but after After Laughter, that is my favourite. It is really long but has a big of everything on it!

Joe Stevens

You’ve GOT to do Brand New Eyes!

Lara Morrison

Josh farro never rejoined. Zac did though.

Lara Morrison

since 2018! they just announced it in 2022. They lived together from 2021 i think

Joe Stevens

Connor where is the shirt from its beautiful

Paul McGinley

Top 10 OAT

liv kath

YAYYY i love this album cant wait to watch this!!! before i even start... paramore self titled NEEDS to happen!!!!

Kyle Ewing

PLEASE listen to Brand New Eyes. It’s one of my fav albums of all time

kelly

Hayley's solo albums are beautiful as well. Petals for Armor is especially nice! It will likely give you a lot of insight to where she was personally at the time of AL and PFA. I feel like they sort of go hand in hand a bit. I was 26/27 when this album came out and was going through a really difficult time in my life. Depression was rearing it's ugly head in a major way and I always say that this album, Stuffed and Ready by Cherry Glazerr and When I Get Home by Solange saved my life. Also, I've seen them live and they're worth it. They show up and show out.

nora selene

also kevin needs to join a dance class he is too good

nora selene

im obsessed with the random guitar chords yall make when air playing

TTT

always a music channel first I don’t think we’ll ever specifically commit to one genre. always just gonna be dependant on what we’re in the mood for. definitely more electronic albums in the future though

Ryley Moulder, the boulder.

Please GOD don’t let them turn to a techno channel. That would be the absolute worst decision they’d ever make. Techno/edm is for the highly uneducated.

Dave Ko

Happy New Year gents and all the Patrons!

Dave Ko

Lets go. Love this record.

Pascal Ziehe

Oh nooo.. I thought you guys would be a techno channel now, but I guess it‘s right back to the basics lmao

yellowflannel

Haven't heard that one in a while, gonna revisit it with you guys :) Btw Connor confirmed last month on X that Illinois reaction is happening soon, really can't wait for it to drop. Has to be in my top 10 albums of all time(among In Rainbows,TDSOTM, Pet Sounds, Abbey road, Vespertine, Carrie & Lowell, Disintegration etc.).

Alix

!!! The best band in the world. So excited to watch this! I am biased but I so recommend going back through all their music, but also I'd love to see you react to Hayley's solo work!!

XAyeItsDuck

I must have missed a few episodes cause who the hell taught Kevin what gooning is 😭😭

Ashley

yes yes yes i canNOT wait to watch this!!!

Lynn

I should also say, Zac Farro's (the drummer) solo stuff is also worth a listen! Very different vibe from his work with Paramore leaning on more of a synth-pop meets psychadelic rock kind of vibe. During their 2023 tour they weaved in a segment where they performed one of his tracks mid-set and it was sooo fun!

Winona

To answer Kevin’s question about Hayley’s brand, it’s Good Dye Young! It’s a hair dye brand!

Lynn

"You read books. I read Hustler." LOL KEV! Been waiting for this one, boys! The sonic dichotomy of this album where *most* of it sounds kind of upbeat and danceable intertwined with such introspective, deep, and raw lyrics is Paramore. Tell Me How is one of my all-time favorite tracks for it's writing. Echoing what others have commented, I really hope you guys get around to listening to Hayley's solo stuff. It will blow Kev's socks off!

Okeisha

i’m begging - please listen to hayley’s solo stuff. her album flowers for vases in particular. it’s one of the most raw and honest albums i have ever heard and i know you’d both love it.

Hidayah Ghani

my favourite album from my favourite band! i really enjoyed their live performances during this album cycle — love how they incorporated their influences into the live renditions of their songs (whitney houston’s ‘i wanna dance with somebody’ + tom tom club’s ‘genius of love’ in rose-colored boy, and blondie’s ‘heart of glass’ in hard times). the way they added percussion and switched up the groove when performing their older songs to fit their new sound was also brilliant. amazing release from an amazing group of artists. i could talk about this album forever tbh

Casey Miller

If Kevin likes hearing a softer side of Hayley’s voice with less production he would love her solo stuff especially Flowers for Vases

Christopher Marcos

I’m very happy you guys are listening to this album, not just because it’s great but also because it tangentially gets you guys closer to listening to Aaron Weiss/mewithoutYou which is one of my favorite bands.

Jack Shaver

Ok I’m about halfway. Just wanted to say paramore doesn’t make random catchy songs like other artists. Every song is personal (usually about Hayley and her struggles). Forgiveness for example is about her ex husband cheating on her. Every song is its own story

Brian - DocHikes

No Friend is a bit of a nod to Paramore's fellow Tennessee based band and post-rock pioneers Slint, too.

James Miley

Please listen to Remi wolf

Lucas Riebe

39:35 hayley williams and the guitarist of paramore taylor york have actually been dating since 2022

Dacari Hall

I really hope you guys do self titled next

Aylin Guevara

Great watch. Thinking about Kevin hearing Hayley's vocals in "All I Wanted." His brain will explode, she is truly such a powerhouse. Would love to see y'all react to her solo stuff! Happy new year <3

Amelia

What a coincidence - I was just revisiting this album today! I was fortunate to see them live when they were touring for this album in 2018. They are absolutely incredible live, definitely worth seeing them!

Indrv

🔥🔥 you guys should listen to Blue Rev by Alvvays as well

Jordan AlexandriaB

I’m so glad I finally subscribed to the patreon, I love your guys videos !!

Alex Stephen

after laughter and this is why are both NO SKIP albums fr

Sikairin

Hell yeah

Eli

PEAK OMG

Jack Shaver

Omg. This is gonna be something else. This album was one that I did full dive into. I found out so much. Zac Farro rejoining and band struggles. Paramore was my most listened to artist and I wasn’t sure if you’d react to more but I can’t wait to see this.
