This is by far one of my top CD's, since I actually purchased it. Don't be confused, just because this is Tom Delonge doesn’t mean this is Blink-like. This is completely different, part electronic, rock, and pop to create a combination that lasts. As a musician, it’s hard enough to put together a 6+ minute song, let alone have it have a lasting impression as “We Don’t Need To Whisper” does. And the track rundown: 1) Valkyrie Missle (5/5) – Slow start, but picks up into a nice rock mix. Sort of Blink-esque, but definitely has it’s own identity. 2) Distraction (4.5/5) – Another rock tune, with a little electronic additions in the background. Catchy, but repetitive ending drops the score slightly. 3) Do It For Me Now (4/5) – Electronic background, not much actual instrumentals except drums. Still catchy. 4) The Adventure (5/5) – The single that probably made you consider this CD. Even though it’s a single, still very replayable. 5) A Little’s Enough (3/5) – This song doesn’t really bring much to the table besides the lyrics and the chorus. The attempt at a slow song comes up slightly short. 6) The War (2/5) – I don’t really listen to this song enough to give it more than a 2. It only gets a 2 because it’s on this CD so it doesn’t deserve a 1. 7) The Gift (5/5) – This track is a close 2nd to “The Adventure”. I don’t know what makes this song so special. It just flows together so nicely that it deserves a 5/5. 8) It Hurts (3/5) – Painfully repetitive from the start. Ouch 9) Good Day (3/5) – Can tell that the “crap” tracks were put to the end. Another filler track that I can’t get into. Slightly upbeat, slightly downbeat, depends on how you look at it. 10) Start The Machine (5/5) – The CD finishes with a bang. An almost full rock song with a slight mix of electronic background. Lyrics, music, composition. All put together perfectly. Overall, this is an A grade CD. There’s a couple tracks holding it back from an A+, but an A nonetheless. THIS IS NOT BLINK 182. The last warning.Read full review
I was really pleasantly surprised when I throw on the new Angels and Airwaves album (We Don't Need to Whisper) album on a friend's recommendation while driving up to Napa Valley over Memorial Weekend... the car loved it (or at least the passengers). We listened to the CD 3 times during the weekend. My favorite track is the first - but the CD builds and builds - really making great use of the instrumentals and shifts in volume and sound. Terrific - along with Gnarls Barkley, the best new CD I've listened to for the past few months! 1. Valkyrie Missile 2. Distraction 3. Do It For Me Now 4. The Adventure 5. A Little's Enough 6. The War 7. The Gift 8. It Hurts 9. Good Day 10. Start The Machine
One word: inspiring. Tom DeLonge's soaring, emotional, arena-like vocals have finally found a home with his new band in Angels & Airwaves. Each song is truly a powerful journey, a story, an examination of feelings & emotions. The guitar riffs are truly one in a kind, as is DeLonge's voice. The lyrics are about as inspirational and original as it gets. The songs are much longer than Blink 182's - each lasts around 5-6 minutes - so if you're looking for more of Blink or Boxcar Racer-style music you'll be dissapointed. If you can get past the cheesy space-themed music videos and focus on the music, and you appreciate good rock, you'll like this effort. It is beyond me how "The Gift" has never made it onto the charts either in the U.S. or U.K., but I believe this to be the best song on the album. A+++Read full review
well the cd is pretty col i think tom is maturing and learning more about being himself and about love and life the lyrics are softer and have more meaning even though blink is still number one out of the bands this guy has been in i think ava will go far or just trample to the ground like boxcar racer idk mark hoppus has some compitition good luck to him i like a few of the songs and the effects i just got it cause imm start a collection of all the bands this blink 182 group has made then listen to them and be happy cauase music my friends is also a way of life and im going to one of the concert in july boya baby
Because Tom DeLonge’s voice is so recognizable, I doubted that he could really sound any different no matter what band he was in; but I was wrong. Though you can tell that it’s him, I think the overall sound is softer and I really like it. I especially like the song “The Adventure” that they’re playing everywhere now; but the whole CD is good.
