The All-American Rejects - 'Swing Swing' (Dreamworks)
3/5
By: Matt Tomiak
Taking its cue from Jimmy Eat World, Weezer and American Hi-Fi, Oklahoma's All-American Rejects are by no means an innovative band. They do, however, realise the selling-potential of polished, insanely catchy, heart-on-sleeve emo-pop.
And very polished, insanely catchy, and heart-on-sleeve this record is. Dramatically expressive lyrics ('Did you think that I would cry, on the phone...?', 'My heart is crushed by a former love!'), ultra-glossy production and a ridiculously infectious chorus: you wouldn't bet against them.
