Punk-pop-rockers Paramore have been teasing us for the last couple days with multiple cryptic profile picture changes. Many proposed that Paramore was revealing their album cover piece by piece. They were right! This morning, Paramore announced their new album, “After Laughter,” and released a single, “Hard Times.”
Here are the best (and worst) reactions to the new single:
Alessandro appreciates the new material:
David wants to hear more:
Among the most entertaining of the reactions were the pictures of the band members themselves:

“After Laughter” will be available May 12 (just in time for summer vacation, Marquette students!) via Fueled by Ramen. Check out “Hard Times” here:
