what the fuck bro

Fuck you, they're a good band. Don't make them into a meme.

Yeah, personally I could never really get into Gives You Hell, but Dirty Little Secret and Move Along were two hits that I could really connect to. Although, they actually have a very solid collection of deep cuts on their earlier LP's too.

Personally I think the band did a garage sound best on Swing, Swing, but as an overall project, Move Along LP was their magnum opus. A perfect blend of emotional, feel good, and downright well written songs came together for a solid front-to-back listen. If you haven't checked it out, I highly recommend you do.

In turn, while their next record, "When The World Comes Down," undoubtedly had some highlights like Real World, and The Wind Blows, it was ultimately not the cohesive project that most fans had come to know them for.

Since then, it's been downhill unfortunately. They haven't put out much good work in a while, and their latest album, Kids in the Street, was nowhere near up to their usual stardards. Its a popular consensus that the band is past their prime, but I feel like if the All American Rejects can recapture the excellent melodies, subjects, and artful bliss that made their first few albums so great, then they can easily win back critics and fans alike for a triumphant comeback tour.

Just my thoughts.

They've progressed since their pop punk days; Kids in the Street is an art pop classic.

HOLY

>Don't make them into a meme.
lol

that's about, 10 years late for that.

Oops, by swing swing I meant their self titled LP, I love that song so much it sometimes overpowers the overall mood of the project for me. Sorry!

I'll give it another listen, but I remember being really disappointed with the direction they headed on that piece.
