The All-American Rejects Band • Page 3

i didn't even know that album existed

 

Get acquainted. It's their best moment

 

Looks like they are beginning to tease. I hope they don't bother releasing that song they were playing last Summer.

 

Haha, I already posted that

 

There's A Place was pretty good. KITS was fantastic. DGAF is abysmal.

 

AAR and dashboard are touring together?

 

My bad! Forgot to check the thread before posting!

 

Yup

 

Should I know anything by Dashboard COnfessional? Big hits?

 

Listening to Kids In The Street. Tyson sounds a lot like Tyler Glenn from Neon Trees at times.

 

Fucking All American Rejects, probably one of my favorite albums from that time period.

 

that first album was my jaaaaam! "your star" was solid.

 

Yea their first album, I stopped listening to them after that.

Don't get me started on some of these early 2000's pop-rock/emo-ish bands, there are so goddamn many that are great.

 

preach it!

i stopped listening after the first album too. my younger brother liked their second album a lot, so i heard that one a fair amount.

 

Riding Bikes, The Higher, Cartel (pre-Chroma), just to name a few.

 

First two albums are where it's at for sure with their first being the better one. I wonder what young me would think in the mist of my AAR fandom if I somehow was able to see the future and hear Gives You Hell. Heartbreaking what they became.

 

You guys remember the first Boys Like Girls EP? There was a strong similarity between them and AAR.

 

Kids in the Street is their best album for sure imo with Move Along in second. Not sure whether I like their first or third album more.

 

Move Along was actually the first album I ever bought, for my tenth birthday.

 

The self-titled hasn't aged well at all for me. The Last Song is still great, though.

 

Why do I think to put AAR, all time low, etc into the same genre, the same kinda bee bops.

I can't remember in the 80s having the same style of music to listen to (when I was a teen in the 80s we had smiths, echo, cure, joy division/new order/depeche mode) - it wasn't so pop punk, it was more 'dark', to me.....

 

All Time Low is different, they're probably the best example of pop-punk, especially back then.

 

I would put the Goo Goo Dolls in the same category now too.

 

Remember SR-71? Same shit, haha.
