When we talked to Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams back in May, she told us the Tennessee punk-pop outfit's upcoming album, brand new eyes, is "really soley based on friendship and betrayal, losing people you thought would be there forever, and then maybe either finding them again or not finding them again."
The album's first single, "Ignorance," is available for streaming today, and lyrics like "where's your gavel, your jury? / What's my offense this time? / You're not a judge but if you're gonna judge me / Well, sentence me to another life" have us thinking she was not fooling about the "friendship and betrayal" bits.
If you pre-order the album (due Sept. 29) on iTunes starting today, you'll get "Ignorance" for free; Spin.com also has a stream of it here. So tell us, Music Mixers, is "Ignorance" bliss? And what do you anticipate from the rest of brand new eyes, other than rampant lower-case punctuation?

I’m a big Paramore fan and got to hear the single last night… it does got some pretty meaningful and in-your-face lyrics behind it, yes, but attached to the good ol’ Paramore sound, there’s no way that can go wrong!
Loved it, can’t wait for the new album =)
Loved it! It does still stick with their sound, but the lyrics seem much more internal and angry than their other songs. Like “Misery Business” with extra bite. But I think it’s a great song, and very catchy.
it sounds like the same stuff off Riot. I like the sound of All We Know Is Falling much better. It’s not that I want the stuff off AWKIF to be repeated and regurgitated, but I like the melodicness of it better. They sound too scratchy now.
i loved it .they can do no wrong. music masters thats what they are
I LOVE THIS SONG SOOO MUCH!!!!!!!! :p
