History YMMV / TheAllAmericanRejects

* SongAssociation: "Move Along" was very popular in 2006 where it was used for the Toa Inika commercials for [[Toys/BIONICLE]].

** From ''The All-American Rejects'', there's "Swing Swing" and "The Last Song"
** From ''Move Along'', there's "Dirty Little Secret", "Move Along", "11:11 P.M.", "Top of the World" and "I'm Waiting"

* BlackSheepHit: "Gives You Hell", their biggest hit, has a much more simple composition than most of their songs.

* BrokenBase: ''Kids in the Street'' due to being a NewSoundAlbum with emphasis on classic 80's sounding songs.

* CantUnhearIt: During the second verse of It Ends Tonight, there are a few lines where you can hear that Tyson appears to have a lisp (or really needs to swallow the saliva that builds up relatively easily while singing), especially when emphasizing anything with an F or a T. [[note]] For those wondering what to listen for, it sounds like crackling, specifically when he says "A ''falling'' star, least I ''fall'' alone" and "You're ''fighting things'' that you didn't know" [[/note]].

* EpicRiff: "Dirty Little Secret" and "Real World".
* FaceOfTheBand: Tyson Ritter

* {{Narm}}: "Someday's Gone" ends with a ThrowItIn moment that just feels weird. At the end of the song, Tyson gives off a chuckle-worthy "wopwopwopwopwopwopwop".
** The children chorus heard near the end of "Move Along" is sort of... unnecessary.

* SignatureSong: "Move Along", "Dirty Little Secret", "It Ends Tonight", or "Gives You Hell" may qualify. Oddly enough, "Swing, Swing," their first singler, was pretty big, but seems to have been overshadowed by their many other hits, to the point that these are really the only songs of theirs you'll hear on the radio.
* UnfortunateNames: Chris Gaylor
* {{Wangst}}: Definitely their first album, which is a prime slice of 2000s emo cheese, and ''especially'' their shamelessly melodramatic first single "Swing, Swing."

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: Their cover of [[Music/BritneySpears "Womanizer"]]. From the subversion of TheCoverChangesTheGender to hilarious instrumental choices (Tyson plays an accordion, while Mike plays ''beer bottles'' in a redneck outfit), the cover is pure gold.

* GrowingTheBeard: ''Move Along'' is almost universally considered superior to their first album.

* SignatureSong: "Move Along", "Dirty Little Secret", "It Ends Tonight", or "Gives You Hell" may qualify.
** To the point that these are really the only songs of theirs you'll hear on the radio.

* {{Wangst}}: Some of their early work has shades of this.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: "Affection" starts off as this to [[Music/JohnLennon "Imagine"]]. [[TruckDriversGearChange Then it changes]] [[Sugarwiki/AwesomeMusic into something else entirely]].

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: Their cover of [[Music/BritneySpears "Womanizer"]]. From the subversion of TheCoverChangesTheGender to hilarious instrumental choices (Tyson plays an accordion, while Nick plays ''beer bottles'' in a redneck outfit), the cover is pure gold.

** "Real World", despite not being a single, is available on ''VideoGame/RockBand'' Network. Yes, it is great enough to deserve that.

* TearJerker: "Dirty Little Secret". The song is hard enough, but the video is even worse. Throughout the video, you are show people holding post cards with anonymous secrets written on them. The worst part is when you realize that the secrets are real.
** As for the music itself, "It Ends Tonight" and "Heartbeat Slowing Down" are very downputting.
** "Believe" is this with CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming.

** "Real World", despite not being a single, is available on VideoGame/RockBand Network. And yes, it is great enough to deserve that.

* BrokenBase: Kids in the Street due to being a NewSoundAlbum with emphasis on classic 80's sounding songs.
** When the World Comes Down, to a lesser extent, was controversial for being a more pop-oriented album.
* EarWorm: "Dirty Little Secret," "Move Along," "I'm Waiting," "Swing, Swing," "Gives You Hell." Let's just say this is their bread and butter.
