History YMMV / AllTimeLow

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: 'Good Times' is, at times, eerily similar to Music/TheAllAmericanRejects' 'Kids in the Street.'

* ToughActToFollow: ''Dirty Work'' to ''Nothing Personal'' and ''Future Hearts'' to ''Don't Panic.'' ''Dirty Work'' for having a lesser quality to the sound, varying success, or lack thereof, to mix more of a Pop influence into their sound, & ultimately forgettable songs. ''Future Hearts'' for not having a lot of the punch ''Don't Panic'' did, trying to do what ''Dirty Work'' did, only better, but only being a marginally better try at mixing more Pop into their sound rather than sticking with the Emo Pop sound they'd perfected already, & having less forgettable songs than ''Dirty Work,'' but forgettable nonetheless.
** ''Don't Panic'' was such a big success that even ''Last Young Renegade'' can't escape its shadow.

* WinBackTheCrowd: Most fans considered ''Dirty Work'' to be a sub-par album, and [[CreatorBacklash even the band has said that it didn't work the way they wanted it to]]. But everybody considered ''Don't Panic'' much better.

* MemeticMutation: "Dear Maria, Count Me In" underwent this in early 2021 when, among other things, people noticed that it bore surprising stylistic similarities to an AnimeThemeSong. The meme started with [[https://twitter.com/AllTimeLow/status/1384613661579169796?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1384613661579169796%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fcomicbook.com%2Fanime%2Fnews%2Fmy-hero-academia-opening-all-time-low-anime-tiktok%2F mashups]] and led to ApprovalOfGod and ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAOQaR771lU&ab_channel=BoketoMedia a full-blown Japanese fan-translation]]''.

** ''Wake Up Sunshine'' is looking to do this after ''Last Young Renegade'' polarized the fandom even more than ''Dirty Work'' did, which resulted in polarizing reviews from critics and fans, as well as ''very'' low sales numbers compared to ''Future Hearts'' which was released on an ''independent'' label. It has a more consistent sound with what they're known for and has more upbeat lyrical writing than the previous album, which has certainly been appreciated by older fans.

** Some fans are hoping they'll try to invoke this once again after ''Last Young Renegade'' left a bad taste in their mouthes.

*** Even reviews by nonfans, like Spectrum Pulse, showed that even ''they'' didn't think the writing was better than their past releases.

* EarWorm: Many. 'Dear Maria, Count Me In' is a notable example. Pretty much every song on ''Don't Panic.'' When they wanted to put everything they had into that album, they meant it.

* HypeBacklash: For all the hype surrounding ''Last Young Renegade'' as a concept album that "explores the different versions" of Alex Gaskarth from over the years, released on a major label, and is the follow up to two good albums from them, you'd expect the music to be better, the singles to be released in an order than actually makes sense, the fandom, as a whole, to be more open to it, the album to sell better in its opening week compared to its immediate predecessor, and for it to stay in the Billboard 200 for more than a week before ''falling off the very next week from it.'' I'm sorry to say, but ''Last Young Renegade'' has fallen victim to this trope for many.

** Their first single from Fueled By Ramen, 'Dirty Laundry,' is already causing this, with complaints ranging from, "It's too Pop," to "The song isn't good enough to warrant being a single from a new album," to "Fueled By Ramen is forcing All Time Low to be more overtly Pop," to "It's great."

* ContestedSequel: While, at first, they either matched their previous releases or did better than the last album, starting with their fourth album, ''Dirty Work'', they've had a pretty hit-or-miss track record. While it's hard to call ''Dirty Work'' a terrible album, it was definitely a let down at the least, stemming from behind the scenes stuff and the choice of direction the band wanted to go into, so it's hard to call it a good album either. Then they released ''Don't Panic'', which is hailed by many fans as their best album to date, as it rerailed their direction and sound after Dirty Work sort of derailed it. Then their next album, ''Future Hearts'' was either a good album with a few duds, a bad album, or a serviceable album. Then ''Last Young Renegade'' came out and many fans have declared it their worst album to date for them for some reason repeating every mistake from ''Dirty Work's'' production and made several more in the process. All three of the albums are the result of the band trying to mix a more Pop sound into their Pop Punk/Emo Pop sound, just to different results, so it seems that All Time Low don't belong in the Pop world from how those albums have turned out.

* VindicatedByHistory: For those who hated ''Dirty Work'' and/or ''Future Hearts,'' a lot of them find ''Last Young Renegade'' is somehow ''worse'' than either of them. Reasons being that ''Dirty Work'' actually ''tried'' to stick with the sound they were already known for, while also moving forward, the lyric writing and production are better on it, and/or it feels like the band are going through an identity crisis, or that they're just cashing in on their past success on ''LYR'' like other bands like Fall Out Boy, Maroon 5, and Weezer (at points for Weezer, though), rather than maintain it.

** ''Last Young Renegade'' as an album is either a brilliant departure into Pop for the band, a maturation of their writing, and a better attempt at what they were trying to do with ''Dirty Work'' and ''Future Hearts'' to go more overtly Pop, or a weak collection of Pop songs that are, mostly, very poorly written, or badly produced, that seems more like the band [[LaserGuidedAmnesia forgot everything they learned the first time they went to a major label, had a ton of producers and cowriters, and tried to gain a more Pop edge to their sound]]. Needless to say, it's caused quite a stir in their fandom online.
