We Don't Have to Whisper (by Angels & Airwaves, Pop)

When the CD came out, I just thought it was ok, but after a few times through, it really grows on you. Tom's familiar voice is nice to hear in a softer mood, and I think the melding of the songs actually works well and (I guess) does lower your heart-rate, though I never did all that other stuff like lighting candles. I have to agree with the puzzlement over how this is a PA, especially since some CDs are much worse and aren't. Content amounts to one f-bomb, and two uses of s*** for language-- and yes they say those, the kid below probably just got the edited CD and didn't realize it. Sexuality is more than just innuendo, as CSM makes it sound, with references to sweating bodies and the such. There really isn't much violence, and when taken into context (anti-war), I really can't give it a yellow. So if you're like me and you bought the CD when it came out because Tom was in it but didn't like it (I used to agree with the two stars), just give it a few chances, and it'll grow on you. (Though I do not agree with them being the best band ever at all, but everyone has their preferences)

Blink 182 out, Angels and Airwaves in. Great band and great songs.

the song "Rite of Spring" is the only song that cusses and it says the F word and the S word but the rest of the cd is clean

the album name is perfect for their close to yelling vocals. the lead singer has a way cool voice (which i still cant get over). its almost as if hes singing his heart out cause it sounds like hes almost pushing too hard (key word almost..) all in all they are a cool band with meaning full lyrics (and they obviously know how to treat a girl) and im suprised they havent become very popular yet...

If you ever listened to the last Blink 182 album, you would not be anywhere near surprised by Tom Delonge's latest creation: Angels and Airwaves. First, great concept. Very captivating (for my taste), very hopeful, and very deep. Second, excellent sound. Each and every note is placed perfectly and each song is a beautiful melody all on its own, but upon finishing the album, you'd think it was all a medley. Very positive and hopeful- not depressing overall. Thirdly, but sadly, the lyrics are so, so fuzzy. What the heck is he talking about? There is such a strong image and idea communicated by the album art and parts of the music video for "The Adventure," but there seems to be no flow in lyrical content from song to song. One song you hear "I wake up and I'm alive" to "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts" to "I'll be your distraction" to "A little more love" to "You know I won't say sorry..." What does this have to do with space, apparent world war, and the future with a retro twist? Why is Tom walking around in a field with a leather jacket on? No reason. And it's because of this poorly executed lyrical assault of confusion that this album is not having the effect on its audience Angels and Airwaves aimed for.

"Pretty anti-social" and "These guys sound cynical and depressed." Are you kidding me? I LOVE AvA! Amazing band! Way better than Blink - 182. AvA inspires and sings about real things! In my opinion, this is their best album. Real music. Real feeling. Yes, they say a few f-bombs and other minor language. Doesn't every band nowadays? Another one of my favorite bands!
