They even properly demoed tracks for the follow-up to their 2007 breakthrough album, Riot!, as yet, but nevertheless Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams is chomping at the bit to get into the studio.
"Josh [Farro, guitar] has been writing really cool riffs and really cool music that I can't wait to write over," Williams told MTV News. "Lyrically, I think it's going to be a very different record [from Riot!]. We've learned a lot about relationships and friendships and life in general, and I'm stoked because I don't really know what I'm going to say about it, but I've got a lot that I want to get out."
"We've been getting inspired by life, really. It's not one specific instance or record or book or anything," she added. "We're constantly taking in new music - that's what we're passionate about - but I think life has given us a lot to say, and I'm really excited."
That said, it doesn't mean Paramore think album number three is going to be a walk in the park, and they're going to bust their asses to make their as-yet-untitled new album the best it can possibly be.
"[Riot!] did really well, and it's not that we didn't appreciate it, but we always want to do better," added drummer Zac Farro. "Just because we did well on the last one, we don't think we can go in and make a great record without having to try. We're going to work just as hard, if not harder, this time around."
