So Ignorance is the first cut from Paramore's forth coming album Brand New Eyes. Well first things first, it looks like they've ditched the operatic snooze rock of Decode, thankfully, the last thing we needed was another Evanesence or Nightwish. So if they rejected that direction what have they opted for? What new tricks have they learnt? Well if Ignorance is anything to judge by then Paramore have not developed in anyway shape or form. It's still the same fun bouncy pop single that they could write in their sleep. It's still a one note solo, the guitars still drop away while Hayley repeats the "key" line of the track "Ignorance, is your new best friend, Ignorance, is you new best friend". Is it any good? Well yeah its a fine single, it's just completely interchangeable with any other single that they've ever released (except the afforementioned Decode). Igonorance should satiate their loyal fan base, and I expect this should be a solid level hit, but this will do little to convince the unconverted and may even bore long term fans who were hoping for a departure, or at the least to see Paramore stretch their creative wings. Ultimately Ignorance is the sound of a band playing if safe.
For the official single head to http://www.paramore.net/album/brand-new-eyes/ and click on Ignorance to hear it for free. Otherwise enjoy this live version.
