The All American Rejects

[racethesun]

anyone like them? the first album was really good, and the definitaly didn't disspoint on the second one. there kind of my guilty pleasure, but anyone else like em?

[Mitch]

They know how to be catchy, that's for damn sure.

Your Star brings back soooo many feelings for me.

[Greg]

the first album is 10 times better. i never listen to the new stuff. its just not as good.

[Fullcollapse3k]

Their first album was a lot better, though the best song they've ever written is "Straightjacket Feeling."

[fedhed7]

I like them.

[ActorInThisPlay]

I enjoy AAR, the old album and the new one.

[End is Forever]

I deleted the old new one from my Ipod today, but I kept the old one.

[sharpenup]

I really like them.
I prefer Move Along but ehh.

[kg00d]

I like them too.

[nivek87]

im a fan. like greg said, the debut brings back memories, but i liked the maturity in move along

ill prolly post my favs from both tomorrow

[boldt_action]

I just got wind of a show here in van, i think i'll go.

[nivek87]

I just got wind of a show here in van, i think i'll go.

is it a part of blackclouds and underdogs? or are they doing a tour after

[Serenity]

I like these guys-- the first album is still my favorite, but there are a couple gems on Move Along

[preppyak]

im a fan. like greg said, the debut brings back memories, but i liked the maturity in move along

ill prolly post my favs from both tomorrow
yeah, I actually like their singles...they are decent.

I still prefer the original, but still decent. I think guilty pleasure is probably the right place for me to classify them.

[boldt_action]

is it a part of blackclouds and underdogs? or are they doing a tour after
nope, different tour.

[nivek87]

nope, different tour.
oh sweet, ill have to look at the site

EDIT- i dont see it on the site. who is touring with them?

[nivek87]

top 5 favs on move along
-straightjacket feeling
-it ends tonight
-night drive
-move along
-stab my back (the sound of the chorus reminds me of oasis)


top 5 favs on s/t
-your star
-too far gone
okay i can't pick 5 favs, that whole cd was fun

both cds are equally good imo

Your Star brings back soooo many feelings for me.

yeah not a huge fan or anyhtign but your star is such a killer song

[Prettyinpink33]

Their first album will always be one of my favourites...their second album I hated it the first time I heard it, but after seeing them play live when their second album came out...it grew on me and it most def is good! I really only like the first half of the album cause it's more poppy than the rest...I don't like the seriousness! YAY for AAR...they are such fun boys!

[kshtoinks12]

i like them
their image is still intact too, much to my surprise

[to kill this]

i played out the first cd so much that i can't even listen to it anymore. i don't really listen to enough of their newer stuff to really compare. all i know is, there's a lot of good and bad memories attatched to their first cd for me, so it always brings a smile when i listen to it.

[Broken Parachute]

I have a Dirty Little Secret..don't tell though.

[FOBPrettyNPunk]

Move Along > S/T. IMO.

Would it be inappropriate of me to send this to my little sister?

It may be a little bit depending on how old she is but do it anyway.

[caLLmEnOoNe]

they're very catchy

[DilesMavis]

I remember loving them a while ago. Haven't heard them in forever though.

[ilovemae07]

I love them =D I might get to finally see them next month.
I love both the old and the new stuff.

It won't. They've been away for a hell of long time, and they've even cancelled an opening slot for Simple Plan's Canadian Tour for the sole purpose of fine-tuning WTWCD, and I can promise you that it will all be for something.

That's pretty badass, canceling a tour with Simple Plan and all, I mean I personally wouldn't fuck with Simple Plan, they are some hard dudes. So props to you, All-American Rejects, you've got some balls.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not, but the point I was trying to come across is that they opted out of opening for a band that's huge in their hometown (or home country) to beef up their album. I mean, Simple Plan, from what I can tell, is pretty damn big in countries outside of the U.S.

When you say you wouldn't fuck with them, do you mean that you wouldn't associate with them in any way.

[WhoSaidThat?]

Plus, am I the only one that doesn't loathe that cover? I mean, I like it more than the Big Bad World cover, and most of the Weezer (insert color here) album covers. Make of that what you will.

[AP_Punk]

new album sounds nice.

[lolliot]

Yes it does. Almost through the first listen, and I like it! You can stream it for free on their MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/allamericanrejects), today only.

[depardu42]

I need to pick up the new album soon.

[Chris Fallon]

Sorry (http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=742832), it's just a big disappointment.

[AP_Punk]

hahah. good review.

I listened to it a few times now, already. Not nearly as good as there first two. So far, I enjoy it a bit less each time.

That's true. I guess I'm just surprised that such a big release would get such a low rating. I would have thought it would have gotten a little higher. I can't say if I agree with the review or not as I haven't listened to the album yet, though I've agreed with the majority of your reviews.

Let me know your thoughts -- if you're like me, and you thought Move Along was an improvement in terms of pure sonic landscape, you might be rather disappointed. The production on this record is absolute garbage.

Bumping to ask if anyone knows if a second single has been decided. Which one, if so?

[BlinkxExists21]

The band has also planned for the next single to be "I Wanna" or "Damn Girl"

from wiki

edit:

In a recent interview Tyson revealed that the second single would be "I Wanna".

[Broden Terry]

As much as I like I Wanna, I think Damn Girl would make the better single.

[WhoSaidThat?]

from wiki

edit:
I appreciate it.
As much as I like I Wanna, I think Damn Girl would make the better single.
Absolutely. That's arguably the best song on that album.

[WhoSaidThat?]

Looks like the next single is The Wind Blows, guys.

[Purple Zebra]

Their WAY over dramatic, but i like the guy's voice..

[dtm34]

AAR rrreeeaaallly blew with their new CD.....really sounded like crap. I was just shocked how bad the CD sucked - the self titled was good and Move Along was great - but WTWCD is terrible. Oh well....next

[fueledbyerin]

I own the physical copies of all their CDS (wow that makes me soooo coll lol), and I have loved them forever! When those stupid bionicle commercials came on with "Move Along" I got giddy with happiness just because i loved them.

All three of their albums, in my opinion ar ecompletely different. opposite sides of the spectrum.

The American Rejects (the album) was really power punk-y, (time stands still being my favorite track- just putting it out there) and for that genre it was really good, I like every track on the CD

Move Along BLEW MY MIND "Top of the World" was such an entity of itself (is that the phrase? Im going braindead) because it was a kind of F THE MAN OHHHH YEAAAAA kind of thing that was just completely awesome. And then you have "Dance Inside" and "It Ends Tonight" that were just toally different and a little more mellow, and then you had the fun songs like "change your mind" and "11:11" and the whole record was just great.

When the World Comes Down was totally cool because it was so unlike the other two CDs. It was less polished a little more raw, filled with more emotional lyrics ( i guess) and it had a less pop vibe and a more overall mellow and just-go-with-it-cuz-we-rock kinda vibe.


I love all three cds, i love AAR, and yea... they rock

just for the record: He has also joined the club (lead by Wentz) of musicians that suck at acting. That is all.

What did he act in?

And I heard he plays bass during some of the older stuff, he just likes being able to move around and connect to the fans more so he stopped playing it for some stuff?

Hahaha yeah, but there's a point where it just becomes embarrassing (i.e. Scott Stapp), and Tyson is crossing that line. He's all wide-eyed, twitchy and looks like a child molester when he straddles the microphone. Dude's just gotten creepier over the years -- much different guy from "Swing Swing" and "Move Along".

I will admit, I havent seen a thing of him since they supported brand new at a festival in 07.. and i was stood right at the back anyway while they played, but the new song is dreadful.. so I can happily leave hm to get smacked up to the eyeballs and not care haha

Official Thread

[eliselovesmusic]

Place Your Bets: how long before Ritters' in rehab?

[Paulb-182]

If he goes into rehab hes a pussy (that is if he's on drugs)

[eliselovesmusic]

Maybe a pussy, but at least he'd have the balls to admit he needs help (if he is on drugs, like you said)

[Paulb-182]

If noel gallagher can quit drugs just by saying, im not taking drugs anymore.. so can anyone

[eliselovesmusic]

Good point. But it takes a certain kind of, I dunno, mental and physical strength to be able to do that. Tyson is waaaay to much of a sun-tanned hair-straightened priss to quit without the whole rehab/council affair.

Besides, I'd say that Gallagher probably had some kind of outside help that the public didn't hear about.

[Chris Fallon]

All I have to say is, if he was on drugs while making the latest album: quit.

If he was not: keep doing them until your next album is finished.

Swing, Swing of course. the rest are toot

Swing, Swing is a great song, but I always think of Dance, Dnace when I hear the title haha.

[Paulb-182]

Toot? Is this the new insult I haven't heard of yet? ;-)

Swing, Swing is a great song, but I always think of Dance, Dnace when I hear the title haha.

I'm pretty sure its a really old word.. pronounced tut. but spelt toot. :-) means its a load of rubbish

Swing, Swing is better than Dance, Dance i have to say

[eliselovesmusic]

I'm pretty sure its a really old word.. pronounced tut. but spelt toot. :-) means its a load of rubbish

Swing, Swing is better than Dance, Dance i have to say


hmm interesting... I don't really know what one is better in my mind but I'd have to say that the lyrics in Dance completely won me over.

Move Along and Dirty Little Secret are decent songs I reckon... They don't measure up Swing of course, but they weren't bad.

Gives You Hell is another interesting one. I like the concept of it, like the way it's worded and structured. The video is great though. Tyson was awesome it. Almost made up for the House Bunny performance *gags*

Move Along, Dance Inside, and Another Heart Calls are my favorites!

[BlinkAvAfan21]

Weren't these guys supposed to have a record released by the end of the year?

[randys950]

their first two albums were so fucking awesome. when the world comes down sucked so bad, i hated it. i wanna, was the best song on the album, it just didnt have "rock songs". breaking was the next best song, but nowhere near a classic. i listen to there first two albums all the time though

[drcroc2]

they'll be back with good songs I bet....

[$eth]

I don't know much of their stuff beyond Swing Swing, Night Drive, Dirty Little Secret, Move Along, and Gives You Hell. I had the Move Along album and never really go into it. But the reason why I'm posting is because my buddies wanted to watch them at Warped this year, and they were the last band of the day, so I stayed. That Tyson guy has to be the most annoying performer on the face of the planet. He kept shrieking into the mic and just about made everyone's ears bleed and he kept doing stupid shit like "look for his megaphone" which had "disappeared." It was just insanely lame and corny. I'd rather a band play as many songs possible in a 40 minute set (Broadway Calls is amazing at this) than have 20 minutes of songs and 20 minutes of pointless ranting.

That's either poor planning on the band's part or they're just stupid when it comes to performing. It's sad to say, but some bands do not know how to perform well.

[pennie]

Why did these guys get so fucking weird?Listening to move along now, it's a good pop rock record. but that last effort :jester:

[HoldThatSound]

definitely my guilty pleasure as well haha. but i don't really like their new album that much...

the first 2 were great, especially the first one.


and yeah, too bad the guy performs with a dress shirtless with glitter now...

Why did these guys get so fucking weird?Listening to move along now, it's a good pop rock record. but that last effort :jester:

look at me being a dickhead over here! :jester:

[LetterBomb31]

"Someday's Gone" is great, has me slightly excited for the album.

[mephistoBN]

Recently got "When the World Comes Down" on blue vinyl, supposedly new, but this thing looks kinda beat to shit. Anyone get it definitely new that can vouch that Magic Bullet Records does this level of work normally? Never actually sealed, damage to the record's center and label, some other issues. Thanks ahead of time.

i just ordered mine on amazon along with jimmy eat world - chase this light vinyl, i haven't gotten it yet, but i expect it to be quality, from the reviews i read people were really impressed with the vinyl. i'll update you when it arrives, but to be honest what you're describing definitely doesn't sound right.

[JunBringer]

Another Heart Calls is such a good song.

yeah mine came completely packaged correctly, no damage, and sounds beautiful, i would definitely contact who you ordered from

[tmathews]

Another Heart Calls is such a good song.

yes! i love it, such a great song, really love how it flows like a conversation between the two, especially the bridge, so rad, always felt it could've had a really rad music video.

love this performance of it too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OI12QMqLMqA

[drudo182]

I really love "Someday's Gone". Hope the album is as good as that song.

[3eb23]

Yeah that song is fantastic

[CoheedForever]

Actually pretty excited to hear the new album.

[wecameaswaffles]

i liked them when i was a kid, cause they were on the NOW complations.

[Clockwise]

Really like Someday's Gone and Beekeeper's Daughter. Really looking forward to this album.

[SpyKi]

Same.

[PengusNiugnep]

Another Heart Calls is such a good song.

It's my favorite on WWTCD and one of my favorite AAR songs ever. Now, I'm going to go listen to it. haha

[tmathews]

Really like Someday's Gone and Beekeeper's Daughter. Really looking forward to this album.

both songs are very good, and i for you sounds rad as well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Qv-FGUoDEA and from the bootleg live videos of the title track i think i'm gonna really enjoy that song as well

[drudo182]

New album is really good. Love the last song.

[Alligator Blood]

Heartbeat Slowing Down is my favorite tune of the year so far.

[SpyKi]

Heartbeat Slowing Down is my favorite tune of the year so far.
It'd be in the running for mine if it wasn't for Some Nights.

[Alligator Blood]

It'd be in the running for mine if it wasn't for Some Nights.

I love Some Nights, and the majority of the fun. record, but HSD is just sooo amazing. So beautiful.

[LetterBomb31]

"Sunshine" is a stupidly good song. I think all of "When The World Comes Down" is amazing. Why do people hate it again?? I'm definitely gonna pick up this band's new album when I go back to university in a few weeks and get my next student loan through!!

[SpyKi]

I always thought When the World Comes Down was just a subpar album with a few great songs on it.

[WhoSaidThat?]

I always thought When the World Comes Down was just a subpar album with a few great songs on it.
Because it was.

[SpyKi]

Because it was.
Yep. You like the new one?

[WhoSaidThat?]

Yep. You like the new one?
Gonna need to give it more time. Have my doubts that this will be their best like a lot of people are saying, but this still has a lot going for it.

[LetterBomb31]

I always thought When the World Comes Down was just a subpar album with a few great songs on it.
I would say the same about "Move Along". The only albums by them that I really dig are "When The World Comes Down" and the S/T. Haven't listened to the new one yet.

[SpyKi]

I think Move Along's really consistent. Don't there's anything all that weak on there.

[LetterBomb31]

The only songs I go back to are "Dirty Little Secret", "Stab My Back", "Move Along", "It Ends Tonight", "Straitjacket Feeling" and "I'm Waiting" :shrug:

[drudo182]

Move Along is good but I don't love it like a lot of other fans do. I think the new one is probably their best, and my favorite, so far.

[SpyKi]

The only songs I go back to are "Dirty Little Secret", "Stab My Back", "Move Along", "It Ends Tonight", "Straitjacket Feeling" and "I'm Waiting" :shrug:
Best songs on there are "Dance Inside" and "Can't Take It" for me.

[LetterBomb31]

I'll give them a few more listens and see if they grow on me.

[Searos]

but Night Drive and Top of The World are so good too!

I am one to say I loved Move Along and the time it came out but I can do think Kids In The Street is this band's best work. I know some people are stuck on their debut which is good but I love when bands mature and create elegant, layered, and limitless music. The elements that went into Kids In The Street are just perfect and the diversity of the tracks is great. I don't think its their catchiest album while it is their poppiest and regardless of that fact I find it their best work yet.

[mar_]

Move Along didn't stick with me the way s/t did. And I liked When The World Comes Down, but because of the negative reaction to it, it took me a while to actually check it out.

Now that I know Kids In The Street is out, I'm going to go to the store and pick it up now if it's affordable. Hopefully then I'll have something to contribute.

Hope you like it. This album is far and beyond unlike anything they have ever done but it is the poppy side of pop rock done perfect. It is a rather flawless album that shows diversity, good use of different musical elements, layered synth, and powerful vocals and choruses. The album has less fast songs than past albums and has a lot more unique songs that I would not even call acoustic but are mid-tempo to slow. Affection is a ballad that roars into a power ballad. Bleed Into My Mind is a synth tinged beat to great lyrics and vocals building up right before the climax with a pure synth line into a big chorus and guitars. Walk Over Me is a southern, honky tonk rock song that sports synth and a bouncy beat. I For You is an acoustic song and is really good. Kids In The Street is a very 80s pop inspired yet dark and reflective tune.

The best part of this album as a whole is that each song portrays a mood so well. I did not expect to like the album this much. I expected to really enjoy it but this might be my AOTY. This is just fantastic and show so much improvement and musical maturity.

I walked to the nearby record store right after posting earlier and picked it up. It didn't grab me on cursory listen, so I'm going to definitely have to listen to it when I can pay attention. But it seems like with a few more listens I'll like it. "Kids In The Street" and "Walk Over Me" were what stood out to me the most out of the songs I hadn't heard before ("Someday's Gone," "Beekeeper's Daughter")

Did you get regular or the deluxe edition. Just wondering. Yea give it a bit of time but when you really focus on the moods and the each layered element you will love this album.

[SpyKi]

Yeah, the album's definitely something that grows on you. The melodies perhaps aren't as instant as they were on past records but when they click, man they're good.

Regular. I couldn't bring myself to fork out another $4, even though I like the color of the deluxe edition more and it had four additional tracks, though only one additional song.

technically 2 additional songs. Do Me Right and Drown Into Me even though Do Me Right is a demo. The Demos for the songs on the album are very interesting. Drown Into Me alone though is worth the 4 bucks imo.

I pre-ordered it signed a while ago in advance.

I wish you'd told me this before I'd gone to the store, I would've picked up the deluxe edition then.
I thought about pre-ordering it, but I knew I'd buy it regardless, and preordering didn't look any cheaper. Plus, I like supporting my local record store.

I love supporting local record stores but could not pass up something signed by AAR. The band is pretty big and I did not wanna miss out. Especially since this is such a great album.

I didn't realize the preorders were signed. My copy of Move Along is signed, but that's the only record from them I've ever preordered, and it came signed as well. I have a signed shirt, but because it's signed I never wear it. It's 7 years and old and has probably been worn a handful of times, which is a shame, because it's an awesome shirt. I should find it and just start wearing it.

The signed Move Along sounds awesome. I love that album. This was a deal from Interpunk for pre-orders. If I ever get a chance to get signatures from the band I am going to get my Japanese release of Move Along singed because it contains the two 7" bonus tracks on the cd.

As obsessed as I was with this band from 2003-2007, I have no idea what the two 7" bonus tracks are to which you refer.

Eyelash Wishes and Kiss Yourself Goodbye
Fully produced songs that while did not make it onto Move Along came out great and came on a 7" with some of the limited edition vinyl release of this. Eyelash Wishes and Kiss Yourself Goodbye both appear at the end of of the Japanese Move Along track listing though.

Hm. I know both those songs. I got Eyelash Wishes off of Sony Connect back when that was a thing, and that's one of my favorite AAR songs. I forgot that's when it came out and that it was a bonus track.
As for Kiss Yourself Goodbye, I have that in my iTunes library as "unreleased." Not sure where that came from. But it's pretty muffled sounding.

I recommend getting a better quality version of Kiss Yourself Goodbye but both tracks were written during Move Along studio time.

Yeah, not exactly sure how to do that, unless it's on iTunes or something. I'm not paying a crazy amount to track down the Japanese version, not when I somehow bought multiple normal versions. I remember there being like 3 copies in my room at one point that summer before I gave them to people.

Check the b-sides thread or just seach the name of the song with mediafire at the end on google. Nobody will fault you own the album and buy music normally. The b-sides are easy to find online but besides that it is a pain.
