Paramore have finally announced details of their brand new album ‘After Laughter’. The band’s fifth album - and first with their newest line-up of Hayley Williams, Taylor York and Zac Farro - is due for release on 12th May via Fueled By Ramen.
Co-produced by Justin Meldal-Johnsen and the band’s guitarist York and recorded in Nashville, Tennessee, the album follows on from their previous self-titled album, which landed all the way back in 2013.
That’s not all: they’ve offered up a first taste of what to expect in the form of the record’s first single ‘Hard Times’, for which they’ve also revealed a technicolour video. With a huge chorus and sugary vocals, it sounds as though ‘After Laughter’ could be following in the bombastic footsteps of the likes of ‘Still Into You’ and ‘Ain’t It Fun’ from the self-titled record.
Definitely not checking this page anxiously every day hoping maybe just maybe I’ll get it early :p
obviously not doing the same exact thing here…lol
This’ll leak at least somewhat sooner I reckon or should I say I rockon hahaha am I right guys
I heard there’s some snapchat leaks…
WAT WHERE
I know it’s only 5 days left… but I seriously can’t wait anymore. I want to hear the full album now… But I really doubt that it will leak.
Nah. It WILL leak. Probably 2 days or the day before though (which doesn’t really count).
What has this world become? Albums don’t really leak anymore, these truly are trying times for us all : (
more like hard times am i right
Fake report?
This has not leaked on RED.
It’s on RED for me
what’s red????
lol! Wondering the same thing. I searched furiously for it and found nothing.
Leak reports are coming back false.
fake leak report??
I freaked out when I saw “leaked”.. but it’s fake or what?? come on guys, don’t disappoint me…
There’s usually one false alarm before the actual leak happens. Can’t be long anymore now!
And surely is unavoidable as there are physical copies available to stores.
Hope that’s the case! Looking forward to hearing this.
ahhh man, i got super excited there and it’s a false alarm ..
there are some photos of the physical album on internet, maybe it will leak soon !
As long as whoever is uploading these pics doesn’t wuss out and actually uploads the album
I need this to leak, do people really have some copies?
Another post on reddit claiming to have it. People are requesting a PM link. If it’s real I’d imagine it’ll be up shortly.
Do you have the name of the poster?
Their post got taken down, so there you have it.
What happened with the Hackers??? Some years ago albums leaked one week before… now they’re released in some countries… and it seems like they leaked a day before… it’s so sad…. can’t wait any longer for After Laughter….
They’re being paid to not leak the album hahaha
The wait is usually longer. People have Spotify now, Apple Music, so not many people have the desire to leak things. They usually have things to hold them over. Some don’t even know a new Paramore album is even coming out because they just don’t check as often anymore unfortunately :(
I hope everyone in the comment section waiting for it to be leaked has preordered it already. Let’s give the band some credit by actually BUYING their music!
Leaks used to be about having it early… like before everyone else. Also, “try before you buy” is the name of the game. Though I suppose you could cancel a pre-order if you didn’t like it.
U R right man!!!… and also it works to people impatient like me…..
*waiting impatiently*
no leak yet? rly?
people in france have got the actual copies today, still waiting for the leak though?
It’s like some cruel joke that everyone is in on – the physical album has been in peoples’ hands for days and either none of them are leaking it, or it wouldn’t occur to any of those people to leak it.
everyone is so desperate to be twitter famous for 15 minutes, that’s why.
It just doesn’t make sense. Even if albums were to be shipped out at the last possible minute, record stores would still get them at least a week early. Is there no one left who wants to take the risk and leak new albums anymore? Have the security measures gotten too good? It just seems so unlikely for anything that still is released physically!
Yeah.. I think people are simply afraid of leaking an album, maybe because they know it’s illegal. But on the other hand it always was illegal, but albums have leaked anyway.
Maybe I should wait until Friday…
It’s on sale early in France today!
ugh COME ON ALREADY!
Guys, I just checked a thread at ARTL (Paramore – After Laughter) and they are posting some twitter pics from people that already have the CD!!! For example the album is already out in France – people can already buy it!! AND STILL THERE’S NO LEAK YET – what’s wrong with the world????
Yeah, they are all about the “respect the band” horsecrap. As if this would change anything, people who don’t want to pay for the album still won’t pay a dime. This just keeps the rest of the fanbase from listening to the album earlier which IS mildly infuriating.
Bands like Paramore aren’t making most of their income from CD sales anyway. It’s sort of silly.
and posting new photos and lyrics
They’re vicious now
I just had to post this :)

So Fleet Foxes can make it out before After Laughter?! This is pretty weak.
Are you making fun of our beautiful leak? :(
i like your leek :)
oooooh boooiiiis here we gooo
So just finished listening to it. What do you think?
I personally think it’s fresh, innovative and really catchy. Upbeats paired with dark, deep lyrics, love it. 80s/90s vibes.
Yeah love the new vibe they got going. My favourite tracks gotta be Caught In the Middle and Hard Times, but I’ll definitely have to give the record a few more spins.
