[edit] Kerrang!

I think the subsections of this article need to be quoted, as they are taken from an issue of the magazine Kerrang!

[edit] MTV comments abou the album

Former Blink-182 guitarist Tom DeLonge has settled on a release date and title for the debut album by his new band Angels & Airwaves — well, almost. According to a spokesperson for A&A's label, Geffen Records, the record is tentatively titled We Don't Need to Whisper but will most definitely be in stores May 23rd.

OK... maybe this clears up some rumors and edit discussions here and there...--Greedy 02:33, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DanO?

"A portion of this song was played in the 94.4 interview, and leaked onto the internet by 'DanO' on the Angels and Airwaves official forum."

It was an open radio bradcast. There is no way someone can be credited as the first one to release such material. Also, the radio itself released the audio on their website.

Stop making those comments please.--Greedy 20:43, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Adventures

The song that has been released for broadcasting on radio stations is in fact a different version: the sort of gasping that appeared after each line on the leaked version were removed.

I added that line, maybe it needs some further editing. Check if you can revise it please.--Greedy 14:04, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removed Kerrang! song descriptions

I removed the whole Kerrang! section. The reason is that those descriptions are already included on every song article. I think that what the article needs now is an analysis of the concept of the album. I have a vague idea of it, it is about "Love" and "War". After some research I may add that information. If anyone has that information, please add it. Peace! --Zingazin 01:54, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Comment by Omnipotent1

The album seems to make heavy reference to Tom's feelings about the blink-182 break-up and his sadness over the current state of his relationship with Mark ("your best friend is not your girlfriend"). At the same time, he's very excited about his new band and the new life journey on which he is embarking. He sets these feelings in the context of larger themes of love and war.--Omnipotent1 21:51, 27 April 2006 (EDT)

Why do you cite the line from "It Hurts"? Tom stated clearly that it is a song about a cheating girlfriend. Anyway, why would Mark be Tom's girlfriend?.-Zingazin 17:50, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Origin of the band's name

Information to rewrite for the origin of the band's name:

The name Angels and Airwaves popped into DeLonge's head while he was driving. He wasn't certain about the name at first, but then he realized that "Angels and Airwaves" abbreviated as "AAA"—and that if he inverted the middle A, it spelled AVA, which is also the name of Tom’s daughter.

—Unknown, Amazon.com

This information is quite useful for a comment on the article.-Zingazin 18:51, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The machine??

what's this uk bonus track you can get? the machine??? if any one knows were i can get it can u please tell me thanx --Jordans 08:47, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

I doubt it's factual, given the preceding song is called "Start the Machine". Plus, Amazon UK even lists the track under the name "Start the Machine". [2] --HarryCane 15:11, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Just check this site. Look at those pictures.-Zingazin 17:35, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

It's very similar to "Start the Machine", without the toy-piano-melody. The lyrics are the same. Anyways, I prefer the original "Start the Machine". You can order "IMPORT" CDs from amazon.com :P

[edit] I went a little edit happy

I think my edits fixes some items that are not notable, and don't belong here.--4.225.35.96 01:48, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Album sales

Please stop including vaguely added first week sales in the article. There are more contries than just the US, UK, and Canada where the album went on sale and unless there is an official statement made about worldwide sales, those are not to be included. Same with the "892,462 copies" that the album has allegedly sold. Either cite your sources or leave it out of Wikipedia. Thanks! --HarryCane 19:05, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Do It For Me Now Live Bonus

The "Do It For Me Now" Live Bonus track is not JUST a U.K. Bonus, it's a bonus in all of Europe, because I had it on my Swiss version.

My argentinian copy of the album has that same bonus track.-Zingazin 23:54, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Opinion?

So far, Tom DeLonge's hype over the album has nearly and almost completely died down over the fact it is argued to have "The same rhythm and tone in each and every song. It just has the same the same tune in every part. Nothing seems to change and it seems like it' just one road, going on and on to the point where it's complelety hopeless to continue on listening.

The above seems like more of an opinion, than anything else....

[edit] This article is terrible

I am not a huge fan of this band so I can't offer much to clean it up, but this article is one of the worst I've seen on Wikipedia. POV statements with no citations, horrible formatting and grammar, no structure whatsoever...c'mon people, you can do better.

I agree. There is no consistency whatsoever in the "We Don't Need To Whisper" section, eg, people have alternatives like WDNTW, or italic We Don't Need To Whisper. Also there are not many links in the main intro. EmeZxX 11:57, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't mean to stereotype, but I wonder if the poor quality of this article had anything to do with the type of fanbase that DeLonge cultivated in Blink. But enough about that.

[edit] Valkyrie Missile

Can someone make an article on the song Valkyrie Missle that would be awesome
