Published on July 19th 2005
It could be worse for the All-American Rejects. So, they were publicly humiliated when they submitted their album to Dreamworks and were ordered to "return with something a lot catchier." So their hired drummer and guitar player publicly criticizes the band's music and admits to only being in it for the money. So what if you're releasing an album that critics and scenesters are already hell-bent on hating? With all that pressure, it would be easy for a band to just call it a day. But on the All-American Rejects second major label release, Move Along, they attempt to do just that, and are successful...sometimes.

I'll give the guys credit the lead singer is a hottie look at the "other albums people liked" I DONT GET IT!!! For fuck sake!! This gobshite doesn't know what he's talking bout!!! I have this album n i fucking luve it!! Screw this idiot! AAR rock the best band ever!! All their songs are fantastic n i love Tysons voice n hes a brill song writer!! I 100% disagree with this review. This entire album show so much growth from the first album. The lyrics arent just fluff like most bands out there. Most of their songs have some deep meaning, especially move along. That song helped get me through a lot, and i somehow doubt that it would have if it was truly just a 3 star song with potential. They rest of the songs are catchy but i dont know why thats viewed as such a negative thing. I dont know about you but i LIKE my songs to be catchy. I thinks its amazing if you can combine catchy and deep in one song.....which they do multiple times here. Annnnd if you ask me secret and regret is a good rhyme and i couldnt think of that on my own. Tyson Ritter is actually an amazing lyricist and i dont think any of us here could do what he does, and he does far better then a lot of the other bands our there who write about shit and dont even make the shit sound good. He doesnt just stick a you and me wait and see sentance together and call it a song, He takes time and thought and comes out with some really great stuff, This is one of my all time favorite albums because of what i have just said and i think it has a lot more then just potential Poop Tunnel. That would be a good band name is this punk? but since I belive that if I dont have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all, this is ok for a pop record. this band sucks ass they r the all american fucking REJECTS.FUCKING REJECTS THEY SUPER SUCK ASS!!! all american rejects are the best band EVER!!!!!!!!!!!1 I want to know tyson's dirty little secret on To paul- There latest album was pretty sweet. With some pretty decent chord-work. i dont how they do it again and agian, with these awsome hits. and cutoos to there lead guitarist how is killer.Man i would kill to see them live. There a great band they rock they rock they rock eeerrrr ..... you is awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you are the best band in the world and the lead singer hotttttttttttttttttttie your star isnt on the new album... maybe you didn't realize that you worded it so weird though... oh well... I think the album was amazing.. aaron? I forget what the critics name was... let's just call him aaron then... he pretty much had my opinion the whole way... I like the fact that their music is clean... although you should hear Tyson in concert... definitely NOT clean lol... well... bye Hey, I really respect The All-American Rejects and the music that they put out into the world. I think its really cool if you listen to the message behind it. And they are not sell outs! Some people just cant handle the truth behind each song they do. o, and Move along is an ausome Album! "YOUR STAR " ROCKS!!! i think the CD is amazing. i`m going to the concert in April they are sharing with Fall Out Boy, Hawthorne Heights, From Frist to Last and 2 others... i think it will b sooooo good .. thank god i have good seats i might get to touch them haha. but seriously if anyone thinks the CD is bad... u really need to listen to the words...get a feel for them. i dont kno about you but i kno i learned alot from their CD.. and besides there a great group. they deserve the love of their fans i win, ha ahhaha ahahahaha ha haha ha ah ha, sorry i can't laugh properly anymore every time i laugh cream cheese comes out, its not as sick as it sounds every time i laugh just think of john candy and what hes doing with his pocket oh and all-american rejects are gay, nearly forgot that one sorry guys i haven't posted for so so long its coz i was in an accident, if if only i just didn't get in da, in da caaarr..i wouldn't be like dis, my heads all bruised and swollen it looks like john candy with a hole in his pocket wanking in public, if you can imagine that, that’s what my face looks like right now. Its all true I’m 25 years old and I live with my mom on a beach house on our own private island so it does get lonely her with mom and I, on those candle lit nights. So sorry for all the trouble guys can we just be friends? they rock!!!!!!!!! they rock they rock they rock they rock they rock they rock they rock they rock they rock they rock they rock they rock they rock they rock they rock they rock they rock they rock they rock they rock they rock they rock they rock they rock pretty original album Yeah this album definitly have some serious potential. People always seem to pick on bands trying to write hooks. Seriously, a really good hook is WAY more harder to come up with than some 8 minute indiepop song. Tyson's vocals are fantastic, and a thousand times better than the last album. The All-American Rejects ROCK! I don't care if you disagree, but this is my opinion. They're not just in it for the money, they're the real deal. oh yeah........ i think their new album rocks....i cant stop tsingin dirty little secret.....tyson is so hot, nick is so cute...their drummer's real good Welcome to the World of Idiots. I think that AAR is a really good band they are not EMO like other bands are. These guys are way BETTER than most of the bands out there and I'm happy for them because they are finally getting heard. the best song on their CD is "Move Along". it is fucking awesome. yea i guess so...but thats about it HBB is reasonable. MTV2's comercials are gay? How about the whole program? Paul, Mtv2's commericials are idiotic and why the fuck do you use a pink bump with a doll on it for a program that plays fucking metal, metalcore, and hardcore. Watching the Headbanger's Ball because I had nothing better to do when they did that, watch MTV2 Wednesday for a new, shitty video. Ok....to all the children pretending to make points in this room. What the hell does artwork have to do with this album (if you read down you'll find that idiotic review). secondly......yes, AAR is poppy rock music, BUT THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE! They didn't exactly come onto the scene as the most hardcore of groups. okay first of all, the song is not called "Your Dirty Little Secret". and second of all I didn't like the CD a lot either. but i thought it was worthy of a little bit of air space. Ohh yeah and do you remember when you dissed me for watching a program that would play a HH video??? Well what were you doing watching AAR on TV? probably the same thing i was doing watching HH...just flipping through the channels "Your Dirty Little Secret" wasn't catchy and I clickly changed the channel. Just bought the CD. Half the songs are pretty catchy and good and half of them I can barley listen too, but just because Dirty Little Secret is so damn addictive I will agree with the reviewer and give this 3 stars You guys are fucking crazy. This albums lyrics are NOT bad. Listen to rap for five minutes. Then you'll hear something that is totally and completely SHIT. More like the All-American FAGGOTS It baffles me that this pile of alligator shit was even reviewed and posted on PunkNews.org. What the FUCK? Jesus fly fishing christ if you listen to this shit you are a goddamn retard and need to hack your ears off with a meat cleaver because you have no use for them if you're listening to the All-American Rejects. LOOK AT THE ALBUM ARTWORK. its so terrible. i cant believe you people even bother to review this bullshit. I downloaded this album for free....AND THE SCORE is for THE NEW LOWS....fuck pitchfork, commercial radio and manufactured formula pop. This album has already come out a couple times a year since cavemen created the music industry. haven't heard this but i think it's how awesome that mike tyson is channeling his rage into more creative efforts. "jones the bones "teenage dirtbag was written by neither of them. it was written by wheatus, bitch." anyone else excited about what kinda arguements we can get in tonight about the new reviews? anyone? anuone? Is there any interviews with the drummer and guitarist where they openly trash the band? I gotta read it for myself. gay. jones the bones I'm voting for a kick in the head for "paul." Rarely has someone who posted so much had so little to say. i think anyone that calls fugazi "emo core" needs a kick in the balls shut your fucking mouth for the love of god. I CAN'T BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW FUCKING MUCH I HATE IT WHEN THEY FUCKING SCENE POLICE PULL THAT FUCKING 'OH THATS NOT SCREAMO THIS IS'. you know goddamn well what i meant about the first wave of 'emocore' in reference to thrice/tbs/thursday. yeah two of them are in these enzymes. but in no way are they grind. its basically crusty fast paced punk with screamed vocals. like all american rejects meets..converge. "i basically listen to everything but hardcore and super emo stuff. if its skatepunk, pop punk, powerpop, the first wave of emo core (thrice, TBS, thursday) i listen to it." So their hired drummer and guitar player publicly criticizes the band's music and admits to only being in it for the money. we've all been thinking this but it's about time someone said it. the lead singer is perhaps one the biggest assholes in the music industry today did anyone know their singer used to weight like 250 when he was like early teens? yea man, he was a fatty. rumors of bulemia and coke abuse on the road may or may not have merit (he lost the weight before they ever got signed...but i've heard rumors how he keeps it off, and rumors of their extreme drinking/coke/fucking sluts habits) "I can't get the image out of my head of their douche bag guitarist putting his foot up on the monitor, getting in classic rock stance, eye balling the ladies and then breaking out a 4 barre chord progression. No solo, no cool riff, a shitty run through the chord progression. You can't stand on the monitor and get in Slash position to play some pussy ass chords...that is all you need to know about this band" rumor has it the lead singer is actually amanda pete. Thier label didn't hire the drummer and guitarist. They knew them already from other bands in Oklahoma City, mainly Euclid Crash and Leasing Nations. And yes, they do think the band sucks. Score is for the comments in this thread. I'm laughing so hard. Aren't some of these guys in the grind band These Enzymes...or am I wrong This is probably the worst band I've EVER seen. You are all aware about how their label made them re-write the record to be 'poppier' and 'more catchy' right? Just checkign that this is common knowledge. The hold steady was just on Conan. It was uber rocking. This album still is better than their piece of crap old one. Sure, they'll be gone ina few years, but dont take shit like this seriouslly. Burn, listen for a month, throw away. Stop taking shit like this as on the same level as Black Flag and stuff like that. teenage dirtbag was written by neither of them. it was written by wheatus, bitch. "Wait were THESE the guys that wrote "Teenage Dirtbag" or was that American Hi-Fi?" all american rejects > the lawrence arms Wait were THESE the guys that wrote "Teenage Dirtbag" or was that American Hi-Fi? When your label hires your bandmates how could you even feel like there's truth behind your music? Wow, I just find it hilarious now how this reviewer's other 2 reviews are Fugazi and Jawbreaker.... and in the Jawbreaker review he insults Fat Wreck and Epitaph for not having any DIY ethics. "Hilary Duff > The All-American Rejects" we've all been thinking this but it's about time someone said it. How can anybody say this is catchy? Hilary Duff > The All-American Rejects If you seriously listen to this garbage I want to kick you in the head and then laugh in your face. Give this band 5 years and no one will even remember them. Complete trash. I was more referencing on hearing people say how some of the members of the band don't even like the music they play. " ok i'm going to be totally unbiased about the actual music, because everything about this band's attitude, marketing, etc. is totally wrong. dirty little secret is fucking terrible, i enjoyed almost every song for at least a couple months on their debut but i didn't even listen to this song all the way through. "move along" and "it ends tonight" are above average pop songs and even though i hate to admit it, i can't stop listening to "move along". the rest of the album is total shit though. i've listened to it at least 3 times through and absolutely nothing else sticks out.so with 2 good songs, a few horrible ones, a few boring ones, and a few average ones, this album doesn't deserve more than a 3. Also while it's kind of despicable to play crap and admit to being in it for the money you have to admit it really is in better taste than someone who actually likes the crappy music they play. Their first album is sickening Well Paul, it seems when every sub-par pop album comes up on here i can always expect you to call it your guilty pleasure. So their hired drummer and guitar player publicly criticizes the band's music and admits to only being in it for the money. haha jones the bones is a cunt. I like this. lmfao. i so got owned, cuz its so true. i listen to Fall out boy, mest, new found glory and these guys Paul: When every album you listen to is a "guilty pleasure", it's time to admit you have a bad taste in music and even you know it. Black Flag is horrible. "black flag>all american rejects" "yes, I care. I love all types of music. Ranging from Shai Hulud to this. And as far as overly poppy stuff goes, I really enjoy the all american rejects. All you stuck up scenesters who say pop punk sucks before they listen can kiss my ass. Get off your high horse, stop acting so serious, throw this album in and learn to just be happy and listen to some simple and good pop." I'll admit, their first album was a guilty pleasure of mine back in summer 2003 or whatever...it was so cheesey but so catchy that I loved it w/ the exception of a few duds. i enjoyed thier first full length a fair deal I want a new face to face cd, get back together trevor and bring chad with you-oldpunker- The All-American Rejects - Move Along what is wrong with the music industry today? Calling these guys 'power pop' is an insult to bands that actually are. Go check out the Exploding Hearts. Sorry, I know a lot of people are into this band, but I fucking hate their dopey asses! The singer sounds so damn whiny when he sings, they blow! Not surprised that this was reviewed. Grammar in the morning! Not surprised this was reviewed. "What was their first album like?" Is this even worth reviewing? "Time Stands Still" and "The Last Song" from their self titled are some of the catchiest songs you will ever find. Their first album was sickeningly catchy. Their first album was sickeningly catchy. i didn't hate their first album. i played it a few times but this new one is piss over shit. i was only planning on playing the record once but i got bored after 3 songs then decided to take a shit instead. i didn't really have to take a shit i just wanted to read a magazine. Great artwork. Really inspiring. dirty little secret Not as good as the first record, but still a decent summer disc. Hot damn UP DA PUNX! I'll admit, I'm a sucker for this. this shit blows jones the bones is a fucking faggot. I cannot stop listening to "Move Along". Someone save me! oh wow, all kinds of music...from shai hulud to all american rejects...wow such a wide range..... yes, I care. I love all types of music. Ranging from Shai Hulud to this. And as far as overly poppy stuff goes, I really enjoy the all american rejects. All you stuck up scenesters who say pop punk sucks before they listen can kiss my ass. Get off your high horse, stop acting so serious, throw this album in and learn to just be happy and listen to some simple and good pop. Quick poll: Does anyone care? |
