Monday saw the release of Angels & Airwaves second album ‘I-Empire’. Mr DeLonge has spend plenty of time building up hype for it and giving interviews and so being the crazy blink fan I am I went out on Monday and bought it, and here is my verdict…

It’s awesome! The Angels and Airwaves album ‘We Don’t Need To Whisper’ was good, clever lyrics, awesome music but to an extent was a little samey in places…however I-Empire isn’t that at all. You can tell the tracks apart, the lyrics are better (some very profound lyrics going on) and some lyrics remind me of blink 182 days.

The album is still very much ‘Stadium Rock’ as I’d describe it, and Tom’s sinigng continues to improve from the Blink days and although hearing Tom on an album that isn’t Blink 182 still makes me a little sad this album is awesome…I’m now looking forward to Plus 44’s second album which Mark and Travis have just signed a contract for.
