A concept album perhaps, here is Tom DeLonge on how he recommends listening to We don’t need to Whisper; “I really want the room to be dark, with black light or a candle,” he says. “People should have headphones on, and they should be really comfortable, maybe sitting on the floor, leaning against the bed. I spent a year and a half working on this record, trying my hardest to give people a moment of escapism. All I ask is 50 minutes of a lowered heart rate.”

“This album was simply inspiring during one of the lowest points of my life. A lot of people will under appreciate this album, but it truly is something ambient and incredible for those who desire a message in their music. It’s well worth your time.” – Danny R

I-Empire The sophomore album brings more enigmatic pieces to the table. The electro progressive blend, hits it of  where it must.

The uplifting message that this album delivers even made it to the movies. The first track “Call to Arms” can be heard in the movie “The Boys are Back”

Not to mention the other uplifting lyrics that can be found throughout the album such as in “Lifeline” with…

If you wish it, wish it now. If you wish it, wish it loud. If you want it, say it now. If you want it, say it loud.We all make mistakes. Here’s your Lifeline. If you want it, I want to.

“This is a big step up from their debut. As Anthemic, spacey, catchy as the first album, only this time they add a lyrical positivity, and upbeat feel to proceedings.” – Punkrock Superstar

Love, the much awaited album was released on the month that may best describe it. Love, the third installment of Angels and Airwaves was released on February 14, 2010, online; And it’s Free! Some Partners of the band pre released the album a day before its scheduled worldwide release.

Angels and Airwaves will also be releasing a science fiction film entitled Love.

“I can tell you, honestly, the movie is ten times better than I thought it would be. But it’s not meant to compete with Transformers. This is an art-house film and no band has really done this in a very long time. So we’re hoping that we catch some people off guard and we’re also hoping that we do something that is very credible as far its artistic acumen goes.” – Tom DeLonge
