''When the World Comes Down'' is the third studio album by American rock band The All-American Rejects, released December 16, 2008 by Interscope Records. Produced by Eric Valentine, the album was recorded in 2008 at Barefoot Studions in Los Angeles, California. Following on from touring and promotion for their previous album, The All-American Rejects began writing for their follow-up in late 2006. ==Production== The All-American Rejects began writing material for their third studio album in late December 2006 after wrapping up their ''Tournado'' tour, and continued through into the new year. But due to further touring and promotion for their second album ''Move Along'', the band did not enter the studio until nearly a year later. This was also the first time lyricists Nick Wheeler and Tyson Ritter tried new methods of writing by "escaping" to various regional areas in North America to conceive new lyrics so that the songs could sound "honest". The first songs to be written that made it onto the album were "I Wanna", "Back to Me", and "Breakin'". While "I Wanna" was written over a six-month period, with Ritter making constant refinements, the following songs "Gives You Hell" and "Another Heart Calls" were all written during a road trip to Vancouver, Canada, with "Fallin' Apart" and "Mona Lisa (When the World Comes Down)" getting scored in Rabun County, Georgia, the latter of which was recorded live in one take. The album was later named ''When the World Comes Down'' as Ritter saw the title track as "a perfect, simple work of art". The All-American Rejects began recording for ''When the World Comes Down'' at Skywalker Ranch in San Rafael, California and later at Barefoot Studios with producer Eric Valentine. The 16-piece orchestra featured on a dozon of the tracks was recorded at Warner Brothers Studios in Burbank, California. In an interview with ''She Knows Entertainment'', Ritter commented "I think ''When the World Comes Down'' has been a journey. I was twenty-three when I started writing this record. I'm twenty-four now... people say when you graduate college you figure out who you are. If I had graduated college, this would be that moment – now. I think I was most questioning life when I was getting off the road with ''Move Along'' and this record was therapy for me. It's everything I needed it to be for me."〔(All American Rejects Gives You Hell ) 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「When the World Comes Down」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
