"All American Rejects: Kids in the Street"
I feel that too many of my album reviews have been, well depressing. So here's something to perk ya up! Last year, the "All American Rejects" came out with a new CD! 'Shocking'. So did Simple Plan, Good Charlotte, and all the other boy bands too. I cannot remember why though but I bought it.
And here's what I think: It is pure musical genius. They totally came out with a new style BUT IT WORKS. There are many instances it has not for several bands who try to go down a different route! (e.g. 'Fall Out Boy' COMPLETELY failed on their last CD) I HAVE NEVER BOUGHT A BETTER CD! (yet) I now wish I had the deluxe version.... Since the bass is kick-butt, the best way to listen to these songs is in the car!
Number of 'F bombs': about 3
It is their... 4th Album
My rating (Out of 10 stars): 9.5
Compared to other Alternative-rock CDs, I'd give this one: 5/5 stars!
Explicit: Mildly Explicit
Am I happy this is part of my Collection?: Yes! (I'm never getting rid of it!)
Value (does the music out-weigh the cost?): 8.75/10
My ranking:
1) 'Gonzo'--For a couple weeks, I loved blasting this song in the car. It is AWESOME with so much passion! (10/10 stars!)
2) 'Bleed into your Mind'--like #1 but with really cute little electronic beats.
3) 'Heartbeat Slowing Down'
4) 'Out the Door'
5) 'Someday's Gone'
6) 'I for you'
7) 'Walk Over me'--the let-down of the album starts here.
8) 'Kids in the Street'
9) 'Affection'
10) 'The Beekeeper's Daughter'
11) 'Fast and Slow'--most raunchy song lyrics here :( and its for a reason--the music sucks!
"Who happened to catch this album?!"
I LOVE MUSIC!
