Audio Mixer: Eric Valentine.
Sticking to their tradition of one album every three years, the All-American Rejects unveiled their third full-length outing, WHEN THE WORLD COMES DOWN, in late 2008. Once again, frontman Tyson Ritter and the lads offer up an engaging set of punk-pop couched in ornate arrangements, as best evinced by the jangly "Gives You Hell," the soaring "Real World," and the string-tinged "Sunshine." The Okie ensemble is still capable of more straightforward guitar-based rave-ups, however, as they reveal on the surging first track, "I Wanna," and the arena-ready "Believe." While WORLD COMES DOWN isn't much of a departure from `05's MOVE ALONG, it reinforces the band's reputation for charmingly gilded power-pop.
Industry Reviews
They've still got a knack for Bic-flicking anthems -- see 'Fallin' Apart,' a zippy contemporary cousin to '80s pop nugget 'Come On Eileen'... -- Grade: B-
3 stars out of 5 -- Working with Good Charlotte producer Eric Valentine, the Rejects trick out their hook-jammed anthems with sweet strings, zippy disco beats, and the occasional bit of Gary Glitter bleacher stomp.
'['Gives You Hell'] marries the pop formula to a memorable, hummable hook, sounding like modern-day Weezer minus the quirkiness.
Orchestral flourishes pretty up the otherwise strummy 'Sunshine'....[There is] a welcomed electro twist to the band's straightforward approach to the rest of the songs.
