Overview Edit

All We Know Is Falling is the debut album by American alternative rock band Paramore. The album reached #8 on the UK Rock Chart. In the USA, it reached #30 on the Billboard's Heatseekers Chart but failed to chart on the Billboard 200.

According to Paramore's A&R at Atlantic Records, Steve Robertson, instead of giving the debut album a major radio promotional push, he believed the band should start small and slowly build through word of mouth. In his words, Robertson "wanted kids to discover the band without it being shoved down their throats."

Current bassist Jeremy Davis played bass on the track, "Here We Go Again", as it says on the official album booklet. He appears in the music videos for "Pressure" and "Emergency". "My Heart" is the only song with screams by Josh Farro, other than the "Crab Mix" of "Emergency". As stated by singer Hayley Williams, the shadow on the sofa on the album art is meant to represent Jeremy Davis leaving the band. Davis temporarily left the band shortly after arriving in Orlando, Florida to record the album. Davis stated that he immediately regretted leaving and was overjoyed when the band asked him back shortly after the album's release. His departure had a large impact on the band, inspiring the song "All We Know", and thus the title of the album, "All We Know Is Falling." As of April 2009, the album has managed to sell 405,010 copies in the United States, though prior to Riot! being released the album had only sold 50,000 copies. On May 26, 2009, a deluxe edition of the album was released exclusively on iTunes with 2 live tracks and 3 music videos. On October 20, 2009 the album was certified gold by the RIAA.

In September 2005, a special Japanese release containing the previously unreleased "Oh, Star" was made available.

5 stars A great debut
This is the debut album by a very young band from Tennessee. Singer Hayley Williams is only 16 years old, and, judging from the band's website forum, most of its fans so far are teenagers. But this album should significantly broaden the band's appeal; it's earnest emo in the vein of Jimmy Eat World or Armor for Sleep, but less dark and more poppy. The production is clean, the choruses are memorable, and hooks are aplenty. Williams' confident vocals belie her youth, and, having already scored a s…

3 stars All we know...
All we know is falling is a decent cd. I'm not quite sure it's worth the 14 dollars but it isn't that bad.

The only way I can think of describing the songs on this cd is like taking butter and churning it. Yeah, it's a weird description but that's what it reminds me of... it's like, thick.

Haley has a great voice to listen to and considering they're aren't very many bands in the whole emo scene with female vocals, this is something new and better to listen to. It's not whiny rock, but don't ex…
