    This album is TERRIBLE. OH MY GOD way to go AAR. Congratulations. You disappeared for a year and a half, people wondered where you were, and then you came out with this. I'm surprised people aren't shooing you back into your cave. DISCLAIMER: I am a fan of this band, but of Move Along and the one before it. Not this stupid sh*t.

    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.

    The manicured hooks on their third album show off AAR's drive, but the songs also show how normal these Oklahoma boys are, as songwriters and humans.

    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.
