The All-American Rejects – The All-American Rejects

Artist: The All-American Rejects

Title: The All-American Rejects

Label: Dreamworks

Rating: 6/10

Stillwater, OK has given us the All-American Rejects a pop rock band that oozes with talent.

Grand:
“My Paper Heart” – Simple, but hooky as hell.
“Your Star” – Just damn good.
“Time Stands Still” – Gorgeous.

In The Middle:
“Swing, Swing” – If it didn’t sound so ’80-ish I could dig it more.
“Too Far Gone” – Nice and slow.
“Happy Ending”

Bland:
“Why Worry”

The All-American Rejects have it right for the first half of the record, but the second half really lags and falls far behind.
