When the World Comes Down (Dlx)

Producer Eric Valentine sits behind the console in his Barefoot Studios control room and imparts his bohemian brilliance. On the soundstage beyond the wall are The All-American Rejects. Welcome to the womb of creation where minds meld, riffs congeal, voices carry, lives alter, skin sheds and a modern rock Multi-Platinum success story swing, swing for the fences. But for The All- American Rejects, the road to When the World Comes Down, their third long form musical offering, has been anything but a straight line.
