Album Description
Angels & Airwaves first single "Everything's Magic," is a synth-rock anthem that resonates with a refreshing spirit and inspired energy. "Just sit back and hold on tight," sings Tom DeLonge in the song, offering sound advice for the entire album. Angels & Airwaves is former blink-182 & Box Car Racer guitarist/vocalist Tom DeLonge, Offspring drummer Atom Willard, David Kennedy notably from Hazen Street and Box Car Racer and now former 30 Seconds to Mars bassist Matt Wachter. (Bassist Ryan Sinn, formerly of The Distillers, departed from the band earlier this year). I-Empire, Angels & Airwaves second album was written and produced by Tom DeLonge.

Released only two years after Blink-182 announced its indefinite hiatus, the second album by singer-guitarist Tom DeLonge's other band, Angels & Airwaves, makes it feel like a lifetime. There's not a single poop joke or bubblegum punk anthem to be found among the grand themes of I-Empire, an album that finds the shrill frontman grappling with politics, paranoia, and the spiritual world. Unlike the contributions to his former group's last self-titled release, however, DeLonge has finally realized that getting mature doesn't mean getting boring. For all its cathartic lyrics, I-Empire is actually packed with dazzling, fast-moving songs, like "Everything's Magic" and "Sirens," that bring together U2's widescreen guitar flights with tuneful, straightforward punk melodies. This could very well be his best work yet.--Aidin Vaziri

I bought the cd cause I liked their single. I can't stand listening to the other songs on the cd. The band lacks maturity of sound and lyrics.
Yes, they are good. August 24, 2008
Go sample them. Just scroll up a little and decide for yourself how many stars they deserve. Personally, I feel that this is the mature, yet catchy and fun product of our once-juvenile Blink. This group will be just as timeless to another group of listeners.
 Angels and Airwaves.. second time around August 5, 2008
well to be honest.. I didn't like the first album all that much except for a few songs. I find it all starts sounding the same. but this album is slightly better.. I find it has more meaning this time around even though the same sorta beat.
I admire the fact that this band wants to have a different sound! this time around I find it much more fascinating! I appreciate their songs a little more! well that and I spent $20 on this cd so I don't much choice. haha
it's far from perfect but it's worth a listen if you like this kinda music!
