While comparisons to nerd-rock dandies Weezer are probably inevitable for the fabulously named All-American Rejects, discerning listeners will note that where the cheeky lyrics about painfully awkward love end, the group's rhythmic force picks up, positioning the Oklahoma crew more as a geeky Green Day than the above-named preppy pop dabblers. No shame in that--on their major label debut, the All-American Rejects marry punk and pop with a clear sense of purpose and no particular loyalty to either form, cherry-picking the best of each and arriving at a spiky, effervescent middle ground. Singer Tyson Ritter is especially convincing in his role as hapless lover. But on tracks like the muscular "Too Far Gone" and the vaguely orchestral "The Last Song," Ritter's comrades drive the whole shebang home with instrumental freight. And you'd have to be pretty hard-hearted not to find yourself echoing the sing-singy strains of "Swing Swing" and "My Paper Heart." Fans of ironic pop--Box Car Racer, Fountains of Wayne, and their ilk--get crackin'. --Kim Hughes

Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5
1) "My paper heart will bleed..." [Rating: 3 out of 5]
The All-American Rejects self-titled album was quite good when it was released in 2003 but hearing it now, this band isn't as talented as I thought they were. The lead singer's voice is pretty nasal and childish but the band can play their instruments really well so that makes up for the monotone singing. Songs that I do still enjoy include: My Paper Heart, Happy Endings, Time Stands Still, Your Star, Swing Swing, and The Last Song. I have to admit a lot of the tracks sound like one big song so that is why I give this album 3 stars. It's a good try but not a solid debut from America's favorite "rejects."2) A decent album but nothing special! [Rating: 3 out of 5]
This album was actually really decent as opposed to the follow up album move along. This album has some decent sounds on it. Overall an ok album for people looking for something these days that doesn't flat out suck!!3) awesome! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I love the All-American Rejects! They make such great music!"The All-American Rejects" is one of the few albums that I instantly liked.Check out the 2nd album Move Along, too. It's just as good!4) Awesome CD [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This CD is just great to listen to anytime, even if you don't really enjoy the group's more current songs now. It's peppy, energetic, catchy, and just in general a good idea to own.5) fast shipping and just like it decribed [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Thanks a bunch just what I wanted !!!!!!!!!! ;o)
