These guys have great singles

 

Was just listening to Don't Leave Me & playing along to it on guitar earlier today. Such an amazing song.

 

I remember back when "When The World Comes Down," people shit on it so hard on Absolutepunk, but I thought it was great pop record. I'll still never understand how "Breakin'" didn't get released as a single - fantastic song.

 

When the World Comes Down is their best record, no contest.

 

Kids in the Street exists though

 

I still think WTWCD sucks and Move Along and KITS are far better

 

Move Along fits the mold of their entire career other than WTWCD:

A few killer songs and a lot of filler.

 

I'm with you on this. There's like 2 songs I don't really like on it (Real World & The Wind Blows) but everything else is great pop-rock

 

I also have a very strong nostalgic connection to When the World Comes Down since it was HUGE for me in 7th grade lol

 

Their debut is by far my favorite, followed by WTWCD, then Move Along. Didn't care much for KITS but it's been a while since I heard it. I'll have to re-listen to it sometime.

 

Its funny that's the way I'd describe WTWCD. KITS and Move Along are both great from start to finish imo.

 

I honestly think WTWCD is sort of a mess. Really the only song I ever go back to is Another Heart Calls (which is a great song). Kids...is deeply underrated in my opinion. Probably not their best, but definitely never got the respect it deserved.

 

after listening to their whole discography, the first album is still the only one i want to come back to, but that's always been my go-to album of theirs, so maybe there's some nostalgia playing in that. "Swing Swing" is a jaaaam!

 

I still really like the debut but it sounds sooooo dated and I'm not that into a lot of the lyrics

 

I have intense nostalgia for it but it does not really hold up aside from a few songs. Tyson's voice is also way less refined than it would grow to be on later releases

 

I remember my buddy buying their debut album with an alternate cover art, before they were big or anything or that album took off. I don't even think it came in a CD case, it was in a CD sleeve at Hot Topic and my buddy just took a flyer on the album. Pretty sure it ended up being re-released by Dreamworks, which is the album most people probably have and then it took off.

 

Not a huge fan of the debut but it's fun enough. My Paper Heart is great.

The All-American Rejects Are Back: Tyson Ritter Teases Soon-to-Come New Songs, First Album in Five Years

 

Two new songs "Sweat" and "Close Your Eyes" July 7th

 

Excited for this. Still on the fence about going to their one-off show in Cleveland next month.

 

Really hope I like the new stuff.

 

I like the two new songs a fair amount except for the chorus to Sweat.

 

Are they up somewhere?

 

They are out there unofficially.

 

I remember whoever reviewed it said RIYL: Disappointment hahaha. I always thought I was the only one who actually liked the record.
