Kids in the Street (All-American Rejects).
Good beats and poppy lyrics have swayed AAR back on to my playlist. Their past few albums have had some hits (Dirty Little Secret, Swing Swing) and amidst the generics, and this album is no different.
They stay true to the essence of AAR: Upbeats followed by slowed tempo harmonies. The body bounces along with your head shake.
I went to their concert a few weeks back. I had to. Why? Because, when I was 17 years old, they were playing in Athens, GA and I couldn't make it then. This was me arriving eight years later. They don't age, by the way. If anything, the band has grown comfortable with their insanity (as it was always present) and is proof of youth (yup. i would totally do this btw).
Personally, I like them for being young (it's how I live). They likely have a personal music taste that is more deeply evolved than their own genre. And yet, everyone needs a little bit of pop to their beat.
Instantaneous reaction: Ba-bum-bum.
Someday's Gone
Fast and Slow
Kids in the Street
Out the Door
Really...the whole album deserves (at least) one listen (with some songs on repeat).
