All-American Rejects

VINYL FORMAT. "The All-American Rejects have finally achieved what bands like Student Rick and Ozma have previously tried and failed to do, namely, combine the pop sensibilities and melodic song craft of new-school pop-punk with the keyboard and drum machine driven sound of indie pop bands like The Anniversary (or at least their old stuff). This record practically oozes catchiness; think Drive-Thru Records meets Reggie and The Full Effect. Unlike many records of a similar persuasion, the keyboards and drum programming on this album are not overly-emphasized, and by their subtleness, add considerably to the overall sonic depth. Good songwriting and crisp production courtesy of Tim O-Heir (Superdrag) make The All-American Rejects national debut a winner." -- Daniel Taylor
