"There's a time and a place to die," Hayley Williams shout-sings on Paramore's roaring first single since 2009. The thick howl reminds us that the Tennessee pop-metal band isn't dead yet, despite losing cofounders Josh and Zac Farro. "If there's a future, we want it now," Williams belts, and moves forward by embracing her inner heavy.

“More Than a Feeling”

Boston mastermind Tom Scholz was as surprised by anyone when he sent his unsolicited demo to record labels and got back a positive response. Scholz said, “I couldn’t believe it. Nobody knew who we were, so I wouldn’t even say we were struggling. It was groveling.” Part of the credit for the interest must go to the anthemic rock number "More Than a Feeling." Inspired by the Left Banke's 1966 hit "Walk Away Renee," Scholz worked on the song for five years in his basement studio before it was released on this album.
