This Is Why is the sixth studio album by American rock band Paramore, released on February 10, 2023, through Atlantic Records. It is the band's first album in nearly six years, following After Laughter (2017), as well as their first album to feature the same line-up as its predecessor.[1] Three singles preceded the album: "This Is Why", "The News", and "C'est Comme Ça".
Logan Gourlay of Rock Sound called it a "jittery post-punk record" and noted Foals, Bloc Party and Talking Heads influences.[15] Meredith Jenks and Christine Werthman of Billboard have described the album as "a tight, post-punk juggernaut that zeroes in on pandemic-fueled anxieties".[1] Similarly, Arielle Gordon from Pitchfork characterized the album as "jittery, crackling post-punk."[16] Andrew Sacher at BrooklynVegan claimed the album has "twitchy" dance-punk "all over [it]."[17] According to Alexis Petridis of The Guardian, "[the album] stirs 00s alt-rock into the mix: the band have mentioned Bloc Party and Foals as influences."[18] Ims Taylor of Clash stated that "Paramore opt for simple, striking, and forceful on ‘This Is Why’, keeping in that New Wave tradition of punchy phrases iterated and reiterated, through vivid guitar countermelodies, offbeat punctuation and pointed lyrical looping of lyrics that go beyond verse chorus verse chorus, searing each song’s character into your mind indelibly."[19] The Sydney Morning Herald noted that "the album’s last three tracks swirl around a dream-pop axis."[20] According to Chris Thiessen of Under the Radar, "The back half of the album feels tonally different from the front, more personal and relational and coming closer to their pop-punk roots."[21] Maximo David by Boolin Tunes describe the album as, This Is Why both stylistically and lyrically. Containing a chorus most reminiscent of something found on 2009's Brand New Eyes, with a more math rock-oriented instrumental, it's a real treat. To be clear, any notion that This Is Why is Paramore “returning to their roots”, or whatever a number of pundits may have purported over the years is almost unequivocally false."[22]
