DrewBJul 28, 2006This is the best album I have heard in over a decade. I can't believe RS gave it such a bad review. Do the reviewers listen to an album once and roll with their review? I know I have to hear an album 3 times, over 3 days before making a judgement, and this album is sensational. Catchy hooks, outstanding production, and they rock. I love it. Can't wait for more!

BeckJul 30, 2006Lives up to the hype Tom Delonge surrounded it with and then gives you a bit more. I agree that some songs do sound a little similar, but other than that it's wonderful.

k.tk.tJul 8, 2006hey you guys give them a chance..... they feel great with thier new band.... they are really good... and i think that they will be better than blink 182...

MadelineHAug 21, 2006cool but no blink 182

LouiseAug 23, 2006This album is the best ever! Screw the boring old farts who can't get into anything new and different. Tom is, was and always will be an absolute god! Who cares if it's emo/punk/rock... all i care about is if it's good... and it isn't... it's even better. In the words of Tom Delonge... 'It's the raddest!'

MatthewHAug 27, 2006Somewhere between the part where Tom sung the lyric "It hurts" twenty times in a row, to the point where I realized that each song was composed of a single 4 second sample being repeated over and over again; I kind of missed the half of the album that God wrote.

NjoiFAug 28, 2006An amazing album. Simply one of the best that i have ever heard. Better then blink and boxcar racer, Tom has done it again. Every single song is great, particularly valkarye missile, the adventure and Start the Machine. Everyone who hates this album should jump off a building

PaulMSep 3, 2006Very good music, but Tom's voice doesn't seem to fit in with the music at some points. Otherwise, a good CD

RyanFNov 1, 2007A few songs are alright-notably Valkyrie Missile-but it seems like Tom ran out of ideas before he was even halfway through the album. Tom: You're not gonna make revolutionary music when you use stuff you and others have done in the past. It's the worst feeling when you're listening to the CD and you think "Haven't I heard this before?"

ChuckHNov 2, 2007Yeah, when i listened to this album, all I heard was cure bass lines, its a complete cure and U2 ripoff. This is just another shit american record, if you want real music you need to look elsewhere!

ErlingSNov 2, 2007probably the best album ever released. At first, the album seems boring, but after you have listened to it a couple of times, you understand how fantastic this shit is! God, tom is a genious

justafanblinkJan 14, 2007Delonge is on his way of changing music for the better."We Don't Need to Whisper," is a start to something great.Although Mark and Travis are left doing their own thing.I wish best of luck to Delonge,knowing he was born for greatness.Blink will forever be missed.

MichaelSNov 5, 2007This is not and never will be blink-182. This is also nothing around. Stick with it and many will love it.

BobJ.Nov 6, 2007If Tom was never in Blink-182, everyone would agree that this is an amazing album, but everyone's still stuck on the whole Blink thing. This is more of an alt/prog album, and people should forget the whole pop-punk thing that happened in the past.

-
ColinTFeb 14, 2007While entertaining, there's really nothing at all new about the sound. I liked the album but I can't say much good about it because it was pretty average. I like AVA better than Blink, though.

phillipgFeb 2, 2007Tom is a true modern day poet ! More people should realize this

Nant14Mar 15, 2007Improvement for Tom.Improvement for the whole music.Really heart-stopping album.I wish AVA to continue their music experiments.I don't understand critics that gave this album mediocre scores.

LeongLApr 8, 2007You know, it's on of those things that does JUST enough to keep your attention. It's not the best album, but a good first attempt. Overall, I more or less enjoyed it, but let's hope for a better album next time.

EvaCMay 3, 2007This album is horrible. It is a bunch of pretentious ambient garbage, trying to be Blink 182 meets a prog band and ends up with a lot of filler crap. And they suck live.

ToddD.Sep 22, 2007This album is a daring and amazing new style of music, incorporating atmospheric rhythms, catchy vocals and lyrics, great bass and drums, and echoey, spacy, and perfect sounding guitar lines.

SteveS.Sep 25, 2007Tom is a pretentious li'l bitch, and this is no musical revolution, regardless what he says.

BlenderThe resulting batch of songs... just pad out the duller bits of blink, then add walls of mid-'80s-era U2 guitar chimes. [Jun 2006, p.136]
-
Entertainment WeeklyIf only DeLonge's nasal vocals were more suited to the Robert Smith romanticism of tracks like "It Hurts." [26 May 2006, p.107]

Many of Angel's midtempo tracks, while well-intentioned, fail to reach the lofty heights to which they aspire.
