Amazon.com Released only two years after Blink-182 announced its indefinite hiatus, the second album by singer-guitarist Tom DeLonge's other band, Angels & Airwaves, makes it feel like a lifetime. There's not a single poop joke or bubblegum punk anthem to be found among the grand themes of I-Empire, an album that finds the shrill frontman grappling with politics, paranoia, and the spiritual world. Unlike the contributions to his former group's last self-titled release, however, DeLonge has finally realized that getting mature doesn't mean getting boring. For all its cathartic lyrics, I-Empire is actually packed with dazzling, fast-moving songs, like "Everything's Magic" and "Sirens," that bring together U2's widescreen guitar flights with tuneful, straightforward punk melodies. This could very well be his best work yet.--Aidin Vaziri

I bought the cd cause I liked their single. I can't stand listening to the other songs on the cd. The band lacks maturity of sound and lyrics.
Yes, they are good.August 24, 2008 Bradely Pitts(UT) Go sample them. Just scroll up a little and decide for yourself how many stars they deserve. Personally, I feel that this is the mature, yet catchy and fun product of our once-juvenile Blink. This group will be just as timeless to another group of listeners.
