Move Along (2005)

EW's GRADE
B+

Details Release Date: Jul 12, 2005; Lead Performance: The All-American Rejects; Genre: Indie Rock

Led by the single, ''Dirty Little Secret,'' the second album, Move Along, from these peppy, postpubescent Oklahoma punks boasts the same infectious buoyancy that made 2002's ''Swing, Swing'' a hit. But it's the title track that launches the band beyond frivolous puppy-love-powered pop. The grinding guitars, pulsing drums, and arena-ready rawk refrain turn ''Move Along'' into an anthemic gem that, while seemingly still about girls, is truly something special.
