One issue some may have is that ‘Ignorance’ needs to grow on you, rather than being an instant hit.

Paramore are back, according to their latest single ‘Ignorance’ anyway. Once again the pop-punk band have created a track with a great tempo and hard hitting lyrics to grab everybody’s attention. I feel this track is a great way to introduce their fans and new  listeners to their new album Brand New Eyes.

The track gives every Paramore fan what they want. The verses build up to the bridge and chorus brilliantly, and the chorus itself snatches your attention, with Hayley Williams proving her vocal talents have not faded in the slightest.  The lyrics are slightly aggressive, but every decent Paramore track has the same trait; they do not tiptoe around issues. Paramore get straight to the point, allowing their fans to enjoy the song, rather than trying to analyse them to death. Other ‘emo’ bands make songs hard work, no matter how good they sound.  

The track easily deserves recognition however, and wets the appetite brilliantly for Brand New Eyes. We have had to wait two years for new Paramore material, and we have not been disappointed.

Score: 80%
