On their fourth album, The All-American Rejects amplify the adventurous spirit of their previous records, showing off a diverse array of influences in the process. "Walk Over Me" pairs titanic '70s glam riffs with stomping grooves, while blazing horns add whimsy to the Lothario manifesto "Beekeeper's Daughter" and the fanciful "Affection" comes complete with ornate orchestration. Even better is the flirtatious New Wave hopscotch "Fast & Slow," with buzzy keyboards and imploring guest vocals from Audra Mae.
