Angels and Airwaves

These are fantastic.

yeah! incidentally i got about five songs into love before becoming totally exhausted

"mercenaries"!

Still listening - I think at least twice so far I've thought that the musicality of this stuff reminds me of Lansing-Dreiden.

holy shit this record rules

i don't believe you

lol

Do you believe me?

no, because I listened to one of these songs (Tunnel) and eh, it just sounded really generic.

the "dream of it" backing vocals i think really elevate "tunnels."

incidentally hearing that song made me want to check out the record

Wrote on "Tunnels," which is my favorite song of the year.

I can think of two songs called "Tunnels" I like better than this.

New EP!

"Voyager" my favorite on first listen.

"Voyager!"

Continuing to remind me of Lansing-Dreiden.

"Chasing Shadows" is a great one as well

periodically updating this thread to be like "hey the new angels and airwaves song is good"

hyped for the album, out sept 24

where are my ava heads at

liking new tom delonge songs this much at this point in my life makes me feel cursed

Holy shit I just heard "The Adventure" (?) on the radio and fuck yes. The marriage of the emo and Chameleons/KoD/Comsat Angels-esque too-many-effects-pedals-is-not-enough dream pop is an idea whose time has surely come. I always hated Blink-182 but I find myself unable to contain my enthusiasm about this song--even his voice is less embarassing in the context of all those guitars. Also I like the clanky, barely audible beat backing up the drums throughout the song. It reminds me of "1979".

was reading old posts in this thread and came across this totally otm description of "the adventure," wow

i'd say i'm a pretty big AvA fan. finally saw them live in late 2019.

i do hope that if tom ever returns to blink 182 again, he drops the "AvA" voice though.

i think he just sings like this now, by which i mean his voice has deteriorated a lot. kinda prefer his voice now for the most part but "restless souls" def has a weird strangled quality in the verses

was just listening to we don't need to whisper and god "the war" is an incredible song

we don't need to whisper earns its monotonous reputation tbh, but i-empire is a great little album. underrated

^^^ i'm just as surprised as anyone that the opening of this song is a dead ringer for underworld's "juanita"

the album is completely awesome btw

anyone else love this stupid album

lol missed that it even came out, gonna check it out!

i have to accept that i love this stupid horrible band. been running backwards through the blink universe and every ava album has been a pleasure :(
