Feel The LOVE



I consider this, at this point, the pinnacle release of my life ... Tom DeLonge

The Angels And Airwaves lead man is absolutely correct. After years of waiting and building anticipation, Angels And Airwaves have finally released their third album, LOVE, and it is truly epic.

In a time where every other band seems to be churning out the same generic sound; catchy/repetitive riffs, meaningless lyrics and all of which packaged in the familiar 'indie-rocker' way. Angels And Airwaves have continued to supply the music scene with some long awaited originality.

Their most notable traits that have made them so popular still remain in their new release and they have been emphasized to immense levels to create a totally unique sound. The band have invested heavily into developing even more synthesised effects into their songs, all of which create a euphoric feeling when listening to the album, especially in the instrumental track, 'Et Ducit Mundum Per Luce'.

However, the biggest breath of fresh air Angels And Airwaves have brought with this album is the sheer hard work and desire put in by everyone in the band to make LOVE as good as it can possibly be. In an interview before the release of the album, Tom DeLonge said, "There’s nothing that I have put more effort, more time, more heart, and more stress into than this release." It seems too many bands these days are desperate to write, record and release an album in the quickest possible time so they can begin to enjoy the rock 'n' roll lifestyle without the tremendous burden of actually creating music. Whereas the Angels And Airwaves philosophy is and has always been to create something with a clear message, no matter how long it takes. A characteristic which has to be admired.

One of the reasons behind the pure originality in the album is the fact that the album has been written as a score for an upcoming film, LOVE."It’s been a very long time since a band has attempted to make a motion picture associated with an album — So when you listen to the record, it’s not orthodox by any means. There’s a lot of interludes and segues that draw you in and transition you to different levels of excitement," Tom later explained.

This album is modern music at it's best. An utterly outstanding composition of music and with the band releasing it for free, you would have to be insane not to download it.
