Earworm: Paramore's After Laughter

It's been over two years since this album came out and it is still in heavy rotation for me. I love it. If there is any album that perfectly encompasses me, and all of the feelings I have about life, it's in this album. There are songs that come around that I relate to almost perfectly, but that has never happened for me in an entire album.

The contrast between the poppy music and the darkness of the lyrics is a hard balance to strike, but they nail it. It's all of the fun of 80s pop, with the angst and emotion of some of the saddest ballads.

Honestly, even writing about this album is making me run through the same gamut of emotions that actually listening to it makes me feel, so just listen to it.
