Angels and Airwaves - We Don't Need to Whisper (CD)

It's Not Blink-182

Pros: Tom DeLonge's voice!

Cons: Music is too simple and a times a little slow.

This is one of the most distinctive albums to ever be issued. Listen to We Don't Need to Whisper as an incredible new band enters the scene.... This is hard to compare to either blink-182 or Boxcar Racer, which automatically come to mind, but by... all means get this if you like Tom DeLonge's voice. Other than that, AVA is so unusual you'd have to listen to this album to get any kind of an idea what I mean. The songs on this album sound similar but different, like they all link to make one story. The songs even have some of the same parts, such as in "The War" and "The Gift", both of which have successions of Oh's. Another example is in "The War" and "It Hurts", which have similar parts in "Believe....do you want this?" and "Sherrie....do you want it?" BUT, by no means am I saying that this is a repetitive record. Each song is its own. My favorites are "The Adventure" (the first single) and "Do It For Me Now". The only complaint I can possibly think of is that the first couple of songs start off a bit slow, with a full minute of introduction beat before there are any vocals. Regardless, it is definitely worth buying this CD. It's going to be one of the albums you'll look back on in fifty years and think,"Gosh am I ever glad I got this." Read more Less
