A departure from their previous pop punk records, WTWCD goes for a more mainstream pop rock sound and delivers. Personally, not my favorite record by the band, but it has way more to offer than Gives You Hell. Deserved to go more than gold status.
Favorite track: Breakin'.
Special, limited 15th anniversary pressing of the album on Crystal Clear vinyl with exclusive "Sierra's Song" bonus picture disc flexi inserted.
Please note: while we package every single record in brand new/factory condition inside of reinforced Amazon-style record mailers, there is ALWAYS inherent risk of cosmetic damage to the album sleeve (dents, bends, creases, scuffs) from the process of moving from facility to facility within the USPS system. As such, we only guarantee the playability and condition of the vinyl record itself and not the condition of the sleeve or inserts. To avoid the risk of any sleeve or insert damage, you can always purchase the album from a physical record store. Thank you.
Also: in the spirit of fairness, these albums are being sold in different waves. So if you happened to be living your life like a normal person, missed a drop, see that it's "sold out," fear not - another wave will be right around the corner.
Finally: because each order is processed and packed by actual human beings, and due to anticipated order volume, please allow up to 14 days for tracking to be posted on your order (though we will certainly get to each order as soon as humanly possible!). Thank you in advance for your patience. We love you.
Includes unlimited streaming of When The World Comes Down
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

“When The World Comes Down” is the third studio album from The All-American Rejects. Originally released on December 16, 2008, the follow-up to 2005’s multi-platinum “Move Along” album propelled the band even newer, more dizzying heights, fueled by the breakaway success of the hit single “Gives You Hell,” the band’s highest-charting single in AAR’s storied career.
2023 marks the 15th anniversary of “When The World Comes Down.” To celebrate this milestone (and the launch of the band’s first North American headlining tour in over a decade), Dark Operative is proud to bring the record “home” (the original pressing was on Magic Bullet Records before the rebrand) via a proper reissue LP that includes the long out-of-print/lost-to-time rarity “Sierra’s Song” on an exclusive 7” picture disc flexi included with every copy.
The 08/11/23 press pressing (current) is available in two color variants (Baby Blue, Crystal Clear). Both versions include the “Sierra’s Song” bonus 7” picture disc flexi. Copies will be available initially starting August 11, 2023 on the band's US tour dates and then made available as soon as the rest of the stock shows up here at Dark Operative (please be patient - we will list them when available).
