The All-American Rejects - 'The Last Song' (Dreamworks)
3/5
By: Samantha Hall
Convenient - their 'Pretty In Pink'-soundtrack, signature-riffage is evident yet again on the Rejects' 'The Last Song'; poppy, melodic, 80's fun, scattered with tales of rejection, break-up and sceptical self-analysis.
And from a land where there's no more to life than football, beer and Calamity Jane (their words, not ours). Presumably, TA-AR brought some sass to their dull school halls. A slyly contrasting yet clearly similar follow-up to the 'smash' 'Swing Swing', this is four minutes of unstoppably lurching melodies and soppy, accompanying lyrics ('This may be the last thing I write for love' simply curdling the sickly sweet taste in your mouth). Another hit no doubt.
