[Countdown to] "Remember Us?"

[Sahrrie]

Hey there fellow music lovers [Sahrrie music bashers and the like]. This is my own personal discussion/countdown thread for The All-American Rejects' [and Sahrrie's] most anticipated album EVER. :D :D D

A few months back, Galedeep told me of a movie that is going to star AAR's vocalist, Tyson Ritter. It led me to this article on mtv.com, where I found a twenty-seven second interview with Tyson himself, claiming that when he's not busy preparing for the movie [titled: "I Know What Boys Want"] he is working on the Rejects' new album, jokingly [or so it seemed] referring to it as "Remember Us?" because it's been almost three years since the band's second album Move Along was released in July of 2005.

They've already got three definite songs on the new album, one titled "Mona Lisa", one called "The Cruise", and the other called "Damn Girl". Of which, obviously, I could only find one [live] video of "Mona Lisa".

Wikipedia even talks vaguely about the new album.

"They have appeared in the December 2007 issue of Alternative Press, where the band's third album made the number two list of the most anticipated albums of 2008."

The All-American Rejects' official site could also be a useful source of information, though all I've really found, is in the 'News' section- they repeat Wikipedia, but in their own words.

Hey, guys! So it may seem like its been slow goings around the AAR camp, but I swear we've been busy working on this new record in hopes of appeasing you very, very patient people. We're by no means on the home stretch, but rest assured, its coming along.

In the meantime, here are a couple things to check out...

In the newest issue of Alternative Press (#234, with Jack's Mannequin on the cover), we're dubbed one of the "Most Anticipated Albums of 2008." Last time they put us on that list we didn't release a record the next year! Here's to not making it a pattern... Anyway, there's a nice little article and pic of us definitely looking our age...

The more and more I find out about this new album, the more my excitement and anticipation grows. So please! If you can, help me in my search for new information on this mysterious new album! I need information! Help me in my countdown for The All-American Rejects' "Rememebr Us?" '08. :D

[Oh, I'm such a nerd.]

[Galedeep]

I'll keep my eyes opened for news on this, though I don't really listen to the Rejects. It won't even really even be going out of my way, since I keep up on most news going on in the industry, and particularly the 'scene.'

[Sahrrie]

Any information will help!

When you're as crazy obsessed with them as I am, you're desperate enough to take anything. This is really a thread just for me to keep a record of the progress they are making once news starts coming out on the new album.

*shrugs*

Thanks for your [seemingly indirect] participation, Galedeep. :]

I know that they are in the studio, as of last week, and that they are aiming for a summer release date. So news should start coming hard and fast in the next couple weeks. Unless they decide to be really quiet about it, I don't know if they are the type of band that likes to open up in terms of studio videos and updates and the like.

Sorry sweetheart.
When I looked around for info, all I could find is what you already have up there in the first post. I did see somthing on wikipedia mentioning they have 9 of the songs already writen, but I don't know how long ago that was edited in the wiki page.
It also said on the wiki that The third album is slated for a release during the fourth quarter of 2008.

I'll probably get this off of Amazon. Maybe...

Then maybe people who decide to come in will learn a little bit of fun facts about them alll. Out of all of them, I do some of the things nick wheeler does, like sit in my next class because I have nothing better to do...And I ****ing HATE highschool, but who does'nt besides preps and jocks who have their lifes made, and all the friends they could everwant xD.

So yeah good luck on the countdown sweetheart, I know this has nothing to do with the new album, but I did not know what else to post because nothing new on it has been release.

I love you Kelli!
