An album that’s ultimately OK with not being OK, it’s for that reason alone that it may just be perfect.
An undeniably hooky record that strays from its grunge-rock roots and finds the band in a place where they’ve found the fun in their craft once again.
The record still varies its tempo from time to time, resulting in some truly gorgeous gems.
Where 2013's Paramore found the group tentatively transitioning from their pop-punk roots toward a multi-layered '80s synth-pop sound, After Laughter reveals them having beautifully completed the transformation.
It’s the band’s brightest, most animated album. The sound is crisp, every layer discernible, lacking the blurs and reverberations that constitute traditional rock production and instead drawing from the rhythmic separations that characterize ‘80s pop and freestyle.
The grooves they always possessed are brought to the forefront on this peppy, vibrant record, a contrast to its lyrical themes, which cover masking misery (“I’m going to draw my lipstick wider than my mouth”), spiralling depression and the anxiety of ageing, only with a knowing wink.
She’s still a strong singer, especially on “Told You So,” but some of her essential grit is lost to the machines.

I'm still hopeful that they revert to their true selves as a band. But I'm not holding my breath. They are making too much money off of features and AL they probably won't stop.
