It was released on April 5, 2013, through Fueled by Ramen as a follow-up to ''Brand New Eyes'' (2009). It is their first full-length album released after the departure of co-founders Josh Farro and Zac Farro in 2010. Recorded between April and November 1, 2012, the album was described by the band as being a "statement" and a reintroduction of the band to the world and to themselves. The album was produced by Justin Meldal-Johnsen, with lead guitarist Taylor York co-producing on four tracks. In contrast to band's previous work, the production of ''Paramore'' contains the band's experimentation with new musical genres, such as new wave and funk rock, and features three acoustic interludes. ''Paramore'' received acclaim from music critics, who praised the band's maturity and experimentation in terms of musicianship as well as Williams' vocals and overall presence on the album. Several publications included the album in their year-end lists, including ''The A.V. Club'' and ''The Guardian''. ''Paramore'' was a commercial success, debuting at number one on the US ''Billboard'' 200 with first-week sales of 106,000 copies. The album also topped the charts in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Ireland, and New Zealand, where it became their first album to reach the summit. It also became their second chart topper in the United Kingdom. In June 2015, ''Paramore'' was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), for sales exceeding 500,000. The group followed the record release with The Self-Titled Tour in promotion, with European, North American, Asian, Latin American, and Oceania legs announced. In 2014, Fall Out Boy and Paramore co-headlined Monumentour. A deluxe edition of the album was released on November 24, 2014. Four singles have been released from the album: "Now", "Still Into You", "Daydreaming", and the Grammy-winning song "Ain't It Fun". "Still Into You" and "Ain't It Fun" have reached top-ten positions in the United States and have been certified double-platinum by the RIAA, making ''Paramore'' the first of the band's albums to have produced more than one double-platinum single and more than one platinum-certified single. ==Background== The recording of ''Paramore'' began in April 2012 with the song "Daydreaming". After a brief pause, recording resumed on June 27 of that year and ended on November 1, 2012.〔 It is the first Paramore album released after the departure of Josh Farro and Zac Farro, both of whom left the band in 2010. The album was produced by Justin Meldal-Johnsen, longtime bassist for Beck and Nine Inch Nails, who has previously produced records for M83 and Neon Trees. In an interview with Electronic Musician, Meldal-Johnsen stated he wanted "the album to sound very visceral and a little bit less locked down and computerized, more 1981 than 2012, with a nod to 2016." In an interview with Digital Spy, Taylor York stated "I don't think we've ever been so proud and satisfied with something we've done."〔 On June 29, 2012, the band had confirmed that former Nine Inch Nails and current Angels & Airwaves drummer Ilan Rubin would be recording drums for the album. In an interview with ''Rolling Stone'', lead vocalist Hayley Williams explained "That whole time for our band was such a dark season. It was emotionally exhausting, and by the time we got around to the point where we were going to start writing, we just really wanted to enjoy the process of making an album..." when asked about the direction of the band after ''Brand New Eyes''. Regarding the album being self-titled, Williams explained "The self-titled aspect of the whole thing is definitely a statement. I feel like it's not only reintroducing the band to the world, but even to ourselves ... By the end of it, it felt like we're a new band." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paramore (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
