Angels and Airwaves and the Atmosphere

I thought it was another Tom DeLonge's experiment with this band and he'll be back again and reunite with Blink 182 as he did when he was in Boxcar Racer, but it seemed I was wrong.

" I have no desire to go back and play in Blink-182 again" says DeLonge (see the complete interview here: www.angels-and-airwaves.com).

When I first listened to Angels and Airwaves it just so different with Blink-182 and Boxcar Racer, but I liked it so much. In my personal taste of music I like something atmospheric and spacious feel of the arrangement, while the former two bands show heavy loaded punk rock. I think Angels and Airwaves has this "atmospheric" theme for almost of their songs.

For their latest album I-Empire DeLonge says that "it's a hybrid of everything about alternative music that I grew up listening to, like punk rock music and new wave. I am really excited for people to hear it" (www.geffen.com/angelsandairwaves).

Ehm Mr. DeLonge I'm excited to hear it. I hope Angels and Airwaves keep sending me those music through the waves.

Minutes to Midnight: The Next Step of Metamorphosis - A QWERTY for the Begining

* This article is just my thought and my opinion, I'm not sure whether you agree or disagree and you may have your own opinion so it's nice to discuss and share yours. If you don't mind I need some feedback or comment =D

A Review on QWERTY and a general NUANCE

After four year of waiting finally LP new album hits the ground. How it'll sound?
Let's get some fire!!
The first single on the album that I listen to is QWERTY. Radio station in my town played that song. What I noticed and made me "wow" is the drum playing. I think that the song would kill me lol because it doesn't give a chance for us to even take a breath. The verse that being rapped, beat after beat and that screaming blend nicely. The song gives a "move effect" to me.
Minutes to Midnight acts as the next step of metamorphosis of the band - think of a butterfly. The feeling is the same when I listened to Meteora, is this LP? From one album to the other the band gives a new and advanced nuance to their sound and lyric. For this MTM I think that the band is sharpening their rock side.
With this heavy rock, screams, and vibrant rap MTM has taken us to their another stage of metamorphosis.
If you guys saying "What about the MTM flop's?" Maybe I'll write it on different chapter

A little note for "The Little things Give You Away"
It's a bit boring for me because it's too long, on the other hand maybe this is one of many forms that shows the band maturity.
Thank you for reading.
