While World is simply a fun pop record at its core, the effort, time and most importantly, experience (gleaned both from the members' extracurricular projects and the near-decade they've been together) that went into its making clearly sets AAR apart from newer bands who keep attempting to capture this same sound with much less ambition.
-
If sonic similitude is any indicator of future successes, When the World Comes Down will only cement the band's top-of-the-heap status.
-
It’s completely clear and even traditional pop music, but those over 16 will likely have no use for it.
-
When the World Comes Down houses a pretty vacuous core. If you are young and/or naïve enough to dig this whole shtick, though, you’re going to have the time of your life.
-
Working with Good Charlotte producer Eric Valentine, the Rejects trick out their hook-jammed anthems with sweet strings, zippy disco beats, and the occasional bit of Gary Glitter bleacher stomp.
-
When the World Comes Down doesn't evince much growth, proffering more of the same hooky pop/rock centered around adolescent love and heartache.
-
This is not an album that you're going to come back to again and again. It's tuneful in places, but ultimately pretty vapid.
