The All-American Rejects and Magic Bullet Records have teamed up to issue 10 very special copies of the AAR album When the World Comes Down with all proceeds benefiting Charity: Water! This organization works to directly fund sustainable water solutions in areas of the planet with the greatest need. It's surprising to learn that one in eight people on earth currently do not have access to clean, safe drinking water, but Charity: Water is working hard to change this.

4 Pt Release ATWA (an acronym for "Air, Trees, Water, Animals").
Review by Staff Writer Lucy Leitner
Calling Charles Manson a musician is like calling Paris Hilton a writer. Sure, he—the deranged, swastika-emblazoned Svengali—has now released the first of a four-part series of albums and she—the poster child of the Hollywood illiterati—is a best-selling “author.” It just proves the unfortunate trend that if you spew loudly enough in California, people will pay for your vomit.
The 76-year-old Manson’s Air is sadly the initial installment of what will surely be an ill-conceived attempt to espouse a new, mentally unbalanced philosophy set to inept guitar plucking. See, the air is just part of the life-support ATWA system, along with trees, water and animals, that old Charlie’s been preaching since the early 1970s. It’s the same circle of life that Elton John detailed to a far superior effect in a goddamn Disney movie. In Manson’s philosophy—his “holy revolution against pollution”—the swastika on his forehead is a symbol of peace and rock stars—and well, people in general—are the problem.
