We Don’t Need to Whisper by Angels & Airwaves
We Don’t Need to Whisper is an album by Angels & Airwaves, released in 2006. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 26 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “The Adventure”, on 18 lists with a best position of #6.
We Don't Need to Whisper, the debut from Angels & Airwaves, came out on Geffen on May 23, 2006, a little over a year after Tom DeLonge walked away from a fraying Blink-182 and spent three weeks alone taking stock. He taught himself new instruments, built a home studio, and made the record at Neverpants Ranch in San Diego with his old friend David Kennedy on guitar, Atom Willard on drums and Ryan Sinn on bass, producing it himself.
This is big, echoing arena rock with grand ambitions, guitars chiming and ringing out as if U2 and the Police were on the stereo the whole time. "The Adventure" went to number five on the modern rock chart, with "Do It for Me Now" and "The War" behind it. Critics liked the influences more than the ambitions, and many found it pretentious.
