February 12th, 2010 at 7:41 pm

February 12th, 2010 at 7:42 pm
WOW ITS ACTUALLY EPIC!!!
February 12th, 2010 at 8:06 pm
@AndyTheCureFan go to fuel.tv/ava
February 12th, 2010 at 8:13 pm
Epic Album, didnt expect nothing less or AvA :] bring on the new Blink album now!!
February 12th, 2010 at 8:40 pm
The album is GLORIOUS.
but the Hoppus remix is quite regretful.
February 12th, 2010 at 8:50 pm
blink please….
February 12th, 2010 at 8:50 pm
pretty good. BLINK please
February 12th, 2010 at 10:01 pm
as someone who never liked more than a handful of angels and airwaves songs, this is actually pretty impressive imo
February 12th, 2010 at 11:33 pm
Best. Album. Ever. Good work guys.
February 12th, 2010 at 11:45 pm
am I the only one who thinks all the songs sound the same…And sounds like the last album?
February 12th, 2010 at 11:55 pm
Letters to God Part II… Nice Touch!
February 13th, 2010 at 12:10 am
Man this album is more artistic in all ways!
i was about to donate but had a problem with my credit card
ill try it tomorrow
im impressed with this new AvA album, its great to have it for free, but i miss buying the CD album
February 13th, 2010 at 12:40 am
Take this with a grain of salt, but I found this labeled as one of the tracks from the “deluxe” edition that has more music used to score the movie. Don’t know if it’s legit but it seems to fit the vibe pretty well.

what’s that hoppus remix??
February 13th, 2010 at 1:25 am
EPIC FUCK YEAH!!
some people will spit on this album ( once again ) But it’s nothing else than an amazing amazing album…. music sound different to me with AVA songs ^ ^
NOW BLINK ALBUM AND EUROPEAN TOUR BOOYEAH !!
February 13th, 2010 at 2:20 am
Awesome album but the mark Hoppus remix just sounds like a MIDI file with lyrics dubbed over the top
February 13th, 2010 at 2:44 am
the new AVA albums is great
9/10
my point of view:
I,empire > LOVE > WDNTW
February 13th, 2010 at 5:05 am
Hoppus remix is pretty rubbish.
But the album is great.
February 13th, 2010 at 7:19 am
fuck this album is so fucking amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im stoked for the new blink album
February 13th, 2010 at 8:40 am
It’s a decent album. Doesn’t beat we dont need to whisper for me tho. One thing I don’t like is alot of the songs sound alike. There were parts of these new songs where i could sing parts of old songs in it and it fit the sound perfectly
February 13th, 2010 at 9:03 am
Some Origiins of Fire is my favorite…it sounds reallly good love AVA Love Blink..Love LOVE
February 13th, 2010 at 10:16 am
I donated a mount of money, and i received my copy from Mark Hoppus Remix of “Hallucinations” its kinda weird but i liked it.
Mail me if you want a copy, but i gottta say, this album deserves a donation

February 13th, 2010 at 10:28 am
i was never a big fan of AVA. but its not bad, especially for free. Well, i donated 2 bucks…the remix is of Hallucinations…its pretty bad.
February 13th, 2010 at 12:10 pm
did anyone noticed that flight of apollo it’s incomplete?
February 13th, 2010 at 12:23 pm
Enjoying the record. This will give me something to listen to till the Blink record comes. Good job, Tom. C:
February 13th, 2010 at 12:34 pm
@Bergin12 Mark song was Hallucinations … i thought it was an ok remix, like the original better tho.
Overall the album turned out great! Cant wait for the tour!
February 13th, 2010 at 12:51 pm
The remix is very regretful. It sounds like a 8-bit mega man boss battle with Tom’s voice on top.
February 13th, 2010 at 1:04 pm
I think the record its good… but tom has been suckin’ up this record so much,..I expected so much more… good album…but nothing different… just another AVA album…
I think most of blink 182′s fans, want our idols to start working harder on something actually new… Tom must put Angels in the place he;s putting blink: IN SECOND…
BLINK 182: we miss u so fuckin much….we’re waiting for you !!!
Nice work with angels tom…but focus on blink! you have a few years telling that angels is the work of your life…but see the stadistics…listen to your fans… your life you have is because of BLINK 182… a true legend
February 13th, 2010 at 1:43 pm
Great album. The remix is okay, but the original track is better. Sounds like Mark had a Motion City influence on it or something. Either way, VERY good album and well worth the donation.
Can’t wait ’til they tour.
February 13th, 2010 at 2:07 pm
this album is ridiculously good.
only makes me more stoked for blink’s new album.
February 13th, 2010 at 2:37 pm
What song did Hoppus remix?
February 13th, 2010 at 7:12 pm
sick album
mark hoppus remix is very bad
February 13th, 2010 at 9:42 pm
the cd sucked!!!!!!!! not one good song!
February 14th, 2010 at 1:19 am
lyrics please !
February 14th, 2010 at 4:48 am
hhhhmmmm the album is ok, but he used too many ideas from box car, Letters to God part 2, had potential and letters to God on the Box car album was epic, so TD has alot to live up to, but I dont think he fulfilled his potential, on top of htat track 2, he keeps using like a cat theif, reminds me of cat like theifs on the box car album…hhmmmm, not too impressed at the moment
February 14th, 2010 at 9:00 am
L ☂☽ V E
Their best work yet..
February 14th, 2010 at 1:52 pm
I LOVE the album
i couldnt donate but i want to!!! it deserves it. wooo!
February 14th, 2010 at 3:06 pm
I think mark tom and travis do not care AT ALL about blink anymore…:/
Just take a look at the Angels and Airwaves facebook page, its sooo close to their fans, by uploading photos and everyday stuff…But at the B182 facebook page the things is more “formal”…they only post concert dates and that stuff…i DONT feel ‘em anymore…FUCK guys, what’s the matter with you??
February 14th, 2010 at 4:01 pm
Not that great I put the album on while laying down and I thought it was just one big giant ass song
February 14th, 2010 at 5:59 pm
Cmon the album is very average. Im not saying terrible but it is the same ava recipe, long intros and long verses. I am not a hater it just seems like no matter what ava fans were gonna say “epic” even if it isn’t. I am a ava fan but this album is not epic nor is it any better than the last two. How could it be it sounds exactly the same can someone who loves it please explain to me why this is sooo much better than the last album and why it is epic?
February 14th, 2010 at 6:52 pm
so i donated some money for the album and didn’t get a copy of the remix. where is the download supposed to show up? are they supposed to email it to you?
February 14th, 2010 at 10:17 pm
The album isn’t supposed to sound that outstanding musically, I mean, of course them using the modular analogs to create the sound effects are very complex and stuff, but this albums main purpose is to tell a story about the human race in a nutshell. Like someone said on here they thought it was one giant song… thats what it is pretty much, its the storyline of the movie, and with the 30 extra minutes of music being released eventually, the small segues at the end of Young London, Shove, and The Moon Atomic will be short in comparison to the obviously longer ones that go with the rest of the movie. As Tom stated in an interview one time, they aren’t even really focusing on the music this time around, they want to be known as a band that is known for making movies as much as they are known for making music. Listen to those segues again and tell me it wouldn’t look amazing to have a stranded astronaut in a spaceship while that music is playing? this movie is going to be wicked.
February 14th, 2010 at 10:47 pm
ok album, not great. best ava album though. i give it a B.
February 15th, 2010 at 3:38 am
I donated 50 Dollars for this aweseome album!! I LOVEEE it so much, best album I ever heard! donate donate donate guys;)
download the album on modlife not on any other side guys to support AVA! http://www.modlife.com/angelsandairwaves/love
February 15th, 2010 at 3:52 am
Flight of Apollo and Yound London, two of the best ava songs ever. But the rest of the album is quite lame. Kida what I expected. Hope for an awesome blink record instead!
February 15th, 2010 at 6:47 am
Great album.i like Shove
February 15th, 2010 at 8:40 am
Kdodds – No it shows up when it says thank you for the donation. You have to “click here” – you know that button to get the remix.
I commend Tom for releasing it for free. As I like AVA and +44, I LOVE BLINK. Regardless to whether or not you think it is an epic album or average – it took a lot of really hard work. So I will donate at least something to show my appreciation to Tom and the guys for working hard to put something out for people to enjoy.
February 15th, 2010 at 10:40 am
I have not received my remix either…
February 15th, 2010 at 10:49 am
the album isn’t awful….but truthfully it’s not far off. i sounds like another copy of i-empire. at least there was something bolder about we don’t need to whisper. it’s not the worst rexord i’ve ever heard, but it’s a million miles away from being called ‘epic’.
February 15th, 2010 at 12:07 pm
That was not epic, it was the same as the last album, which was the same as the first album. I agree with Tony. Tom needs to stop being so pretentious and realize what he’s good at – Making catchy pop punk songs, not stadium rock. Or at least focus on blink, and then use the blink money and fame to screw around with AVA. If I recall correctly, neiher of the first two AVA albums even reached platinum. That’s pretty sad.
February 15th, 2010 at 12:30 pm
Tom only got back with blink to fund the new FREE album and movie he paid for HIMSELF. To me this just makes sense. The money he would have earned from a 50+ date tour.
LOVE is pretty good 6.5/10 in my opinion but it really seems like Blink is gonna take the back seat for much of this year especially when it comes to actually recording a new album!
February 15th, 2010 at 1:25 pm
First time i listened the album i thought it was weird and a bit repetitive sometimes… but now I love it… I thought the same after listen to the last blink album, and now I love the untitled album… some albums need some time to understand and apreciatte the songs
February 15th, 2010 at 1:41 pm
Not very impressive. All the songs sound the same.Such stupidlty long intro’s and for what reason. They are so annoying. Why can’t Tom see that Blink 182 should be his #1 priority, If it wasn’t for Blink most of you people wouldn’t even know who AVA is. Blink is 100 times better than AVA. I don’t mind some of AVA’s stuff, but this record isn’t so good. Compared to Blink they aren’t even close. Come on guys concentrate on Blink if you want to be on the world stage with the other top performers out there.
February 15th, 2010 at 3:45 pm
Also, I think the reason the melodies are so obviously reused is that Tom’s writing has always been more melody focused and he may not be the most original songwriter, but working with Mark and Travis allows the music to sound varied even when the progressions are familiar
February 15th, 2010 at 5:52 pm
anyone wanna tell me how to unzip a zip file or whatever its called
February 15th, 2010 at 11:39 pm
In my pointo of view I think that the second song “TfOA” is the best song in the whole album because the song has a little blink riff in the verse
however, i think this album is good in my opinion
I empire – 90
LOVE – 85
WDNTW – 70 except it hurts and the adventure pretty much the 60% of the whole album 40% the rest of the songs
anyway
February 16th, 2010 at 1:35 am
I have to be honest… it is quite possibly the most cringe worthy album i have heard the only reedeeming quality or qualities are the guitar riffs but seriously every song sounds the same… poor effort from a band that are better than this
February 16th, 2010 at 10:27 am
Wow, Hugo. Did you really compare this album to blink’s self titled album? REALLY!? How could you get sick of blink’s self titled? Each song sounded different than the last. Unlike this album. Congratulations, sir. Your comparison fails.
I give huge props to Tom for releasing this for free. It’s hard to complain about free. But as an AvA fan, it’s hard not to be let down. The first couple of songs sound pretty good. Then it just slides back to the same formula we’ve been hearing for years. It’s old. It’s nothing new. It’s predictable. Anyone who says this is epic needs to seriously take a step back and realize what you’re saying. These are four very talented individuals. It’s just a shame that they’ve put out a less than stellar album.
February 16th, 2010 at 10:44 am
Blink-180-Topher, Thanks for the help. I downloaded the album and donated money right when it became available and there was no “click here” link, so I guess I need to contact the support team at Modlife.
February 16th, 2010 at 11:00 am
HOPPUS remix is AWESOME!
February 16th, 2010 at 4:15 pm
Tour dates are up for AVA AHHH!!! Is anyone in here a member of Modlife because presale starts tomorrow and i need a password
February 16th, 2010 at 6:29 pm
Aaron you said it best
February 16th, 2010 at 6:33 pm
I’m sorry but this album kinda dissapointed me. I’m glad it was free because I wouldn’t have paid for it anyway. I empire on the other hand was absolutely great. So my expectations were high I guess. And I agree Blink should be his #1 priority. I was at the pelham, Al reunion show and it was Epic. I want more of that please.
February 17th, 2010 at 9:02 am
@ kimbob yeah i know i think the songs all kind of sound similar but I still love AvA and I kinda wish there were a little bit less love songs and more songs like Right of Spring. However I am highly enjoying Young London!!!!!!!!!
and where IS that Up All Night Single?!?!?!!!!!!!!
February 17th, 2010 at 9:07 am
Oh and @ Aaron Ummm Im pretty sure people would know who AvA is regardless of Blink. Box Car Racer had a plethora of fans and they were not as advertised and stuff like AvA. Some of us are true fans.
February 17th, 2010 at 1:15 pm
Does it bug anyone else that Tom keeps saying that the members of blink are so different. Maybe now him and Mark have different music taste but in there are countless times in the past when him and Mark talk about how much alike they are and how the first time they met they became best friends pretty quick after that. It is just funny to me he keeps saying that is the magic of blink when in fact from 1995-2004 the magic was how similiar they were. Oh and Love isn’t nearly as good as the blink self title ablum
February 18th, 2010 at 11:40 am
I want blink
February 18th, 2010 at 8:19 pm
LOVE = one big song
I Empire = best album so far (AVA)
WDNTW= nice
February 19th, 2010 at 5:51 am
@ cassie. You’re only kidding yourself. If this was the only band that Tom Delonge had ever played in, it wouldn’t be as big as it is now, and even then, its not all that big. Boxcar also got alot of fans because of blink… Mind you, boxcar probably could’ve made it on their own without the blink background. AvA probably couldn’t
February 19th, 2010 at 6:59 am
the Hoppus remix was terrible, I lost a bit of respect for Mark, because even though Tom has released I empire and Love, both in my opinion as terrible albums, Hoppus has been doing good work with producing and the plus 44 record. So after hearing the remix, it was rather disappointing, on top of that, it sounds like he slapped it together in 10 minutes.
To comment on someones point above about box car having more fans etc, that becuase they were actually really good, had more direction/vision in their songs. While ava…. not so much
February 19th, 2010 at 8:25 am
hahahahahahaha! People liked this?!?! I mean I don’t HATE ava. I liked wdntw. This is the worst album in general I have ever heard. Im not dissing anyone here at all. I just dont get it.
February 20th, 2010 at 2:21 am
I’m disappointed in you, Han Solo. Very. Disappointed.
February 20th, 2010 at 9:22 am
I know what you mean HanSolo, this album on the whole is terrible, I think Tom has reused ideas from box car and just works on the same template of massive intros and long songs, which build up to nothing. I think he ruined letters to God part 2, and track 2 also reminds me of cat like theif by box car, which was a better album/band. Tom needs Mark and Travis to bring a better balance to the music
February 20th, 2010 at 1:38 pm
I agree 100% with comment 61. The new album sucks it every song sound the same i feel like falling alseep after the 4th track…..Where is hell is blink?
February 21st, 2010 at 1:36 am
i like the album, its great! and i cannot wait for the next blink record!!!!
by the way is it coming out in this year or next year?????
C’MON!!!!!!!!
February 21st, 2010 at 3:28 am
OFC its free to load , i wouldnt dare to sell this shitty music as well
February 21st, 2010 at 12:12 pm
“Claver Love” is the best song in the LOVE album
its fucking great !
is the 4th time that I listen the whole album and the first time I was like “What? is not that great” but now I think is quite good
87 / 100
February 23rd, 2010 at 8:33 pm
Gotta say, I thought LOVE kinda sucked the first time or two that I listened to it, but WOW!!! I have probably listened to that album 30 or 40 times all the way through since it came out. If you give it a chance and actually listen to it, all the songs really don’t sound the same. This is an AMAZING album. It really is. Just give it a chance. I mean, it’s no Blink 182, but it’s something different.
February 23rd, 2010 at 9:39 pm
At first I didn’t like the album at all…but the more you listen to it the more you love it! The best songs are: Young London, Shove and Epic Holiday! The worst are: The Moon Atomic, Clever Love and Soul Survivor!
Don’t hate on Ava please but don’t get me wrong Blink is 100000000… times better than Ava and will always be!!!! And anyway I just can’t wait for the next blink album! It will be amazing!!!! those 3 guys together make the magic happens lol…
(sorry for the mistakes, if there is, cause i’m from quebec, canada!)
February 24th, 2010 at 8:44 am
Well obviously moat of you are huge blink fans as am I. But AvA has specific sound and if they completely changed it, it would suck. So If your an AvA fan and liked their first two albums you’ll like this as well. And it’s rumoured that blink will release a new single in March or April! And blink is still here tom is working AvA stuff and Travis with his solo project and mark with producing. So they are still here so just hold on to your nads and be patient! You all were patient for their return so it’s almost here
February 24th, 2010 at 8:48 am
Holy shit! This is an amazing album. Angels has done it again!! Best album in a while!! Can’t stop listening to it! 5*****
February 25th, 2010 at 12:45 pm
BLINK 182 NEWS PLEAAASE!!
February 27th, 2010 at 5:06 am
Great Album. I have nothing against Tom and AvA but instead of givin it for free, he should’ve sold the album even for a very cheap price then give the proceeds to charity like for Haiti or something. Now, that’s LOVE.
March 1st, 2010 at 6:58 am
This album totally chabged my life. Thanks AVA.
