Paramore is giving longtime fans a powerful dose of nostalgia with the release of the 20th Anniversary Edition of All We Know Is Falling, the album that launched the band into the hearts of alternative rock lovers worldwide. To commemorate two decades since their debut, the Tennessee-based group has not only reissued the iconic 2005 album but also unearthed rare and previously unreleased material that sheds new light on their early evolution.
The anniversary edition includes the first-ever digital release of The Summer Tic EP, a fan-favorite rarity that was previously only available physically during Warped Tour 2006. This expanded version also features four unreleased tracks from the original All We Know Is Falling recording sessions, offering listeners a glimpse into the band’s raw, formative sound. For fans new and old, this release is both a celebration and a revelation.
What makes the 20th anniversary edition special?
Unlike many reissues that simply remaster familiar tracks, Paramore’s 20th Anniversary Edition takes a more thoughtful and expansive approach. It combines the foundational energy of the debut album with bonus material that captures the spirit and experimentation of the band’s early days.
Among the standout additions are the newly released songs: “Oh, Star,” “Stuck on You” (a cover of Failure’s alt-rock staple), “This Circle,” and the intimate fan-favorite “Temporary”. These tracks, now available to stream for the first time, bridge the gap between Paramore‘s raw beginnings and the polished anthems they would later become known for. Each one adds depth to the emotional resonance of the original record, enriching the themes of heartbreak, growth, and resilience that defined their debut.
In addition to digital platforms, the deluxe edition has been issued in a limited vinyl pressing, featuring a striking red and black color scheme that nods to the original album’s artwork. For collectors and purists alike, this physical edition elevates the nostalgia factor while affirming the album’s enduring cultural significance.
How does this release highlight Paramore’s legacy?
The reissue comes at a time when Paramore is enjoying a renewed wave of appreciation, not just for their genre-blurring recent work but for their foundational role in 2000s emo and pop punk. All We Know Is Falling was the spark, and this anniversary edition reinforces its place in music history.
The band’s frontwoman, Hayley Williams, was just 16 when the album first dropped. Her commanding vocals and introspective lyrics helped set Paramore apart in a male-dominated scene. Revisiting these early tracks through the lens of maturity and experience offers fans a compelling retrospective on her artistic journey.
As the band continues to evolve, the 20th anniversary release reminds listeners of the passion and grit that powered their rise. It’s more than a reissue—it’s a statement. A bridge between generations of fans. And a moment to reflect on how far they’ve come.
Where can fans listen and what should they expect?
The Paramore All We Know Is Falling 20th Anniversary Edition is available now on all major streaming platforms, and the unreleased tracks from The Summer Tic EP can be heard worldwide for the first time. Vinyl editions can be ordered via Fueled by Ramen’s official store and select independent record shops.
Listeners can expect to be transported back to Paramore’s early sonic palette: heavy guitars, energetic percussion, and raw lyrical emotion. For those who’ve followed the band since the beginning, it’s a poignant revisit. For newcomers, it’s an opportunity to experience the roots of one of the most resilient acts in alternative rock.
Will this anniversary edition inspire similar reissues for their other early albums? Only time will tell. But for now, Paramore’s message is clear: some beginnings are worth reliving.
