radioactive tomdog Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 that's really what it sounds like. i've never heard someone put so little effort into a studio recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Strange, it sounds good to me. Good as in, I'm surprised I feel some heart in it. Distraction I thought would be awful because the old Blink voice in the original vs now, but it actually was good, the chorus at least.

I kinda feel this way too. I was super let down by this release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M!ke Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Instrumentally I like these, though I do see and understand the complaint that they are overproduced especially for acoustic renditions, still I don't mind. What does bother me though is Tom's voice. Wow, just wow, I mean you could always tell that his voice was changing for the worse over the last decade or so, but its not until you hear a new studio recording today of a song he originally released in 2006 where you notice how badly his voice has changed. I don't get it, he never had a great voice, but it was a distinct one that at least could stay in tune and had some range. Now its just a mess, and i'm not sure what to attribute it to. It doesn't seem like he's been a heavy smoker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent's Brother Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Man I thought this had a chance to be pretty cool, but mehhh. You can tell he just doesn't care about music anymore. And its just ridiculous after all this time it was only 4 songs. The '09 AOL acoustic versions are way better IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheerios4u98 Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 This is my favorite Tom release in years. I'm very happy with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it too, The Adventure sounds awesome. These songs sound exactly like what I was expecting from an acoustic studio recording from Angels And Airwaves. I don't think it would have sounded much different if they had recorded it 2008 with the band 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicknem92 Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Ehhhh.... That's the best he can get out of his voice nowadays guys. I'm sure he tried his best. Guy's aging, never was a great singer, AND destroyed his voice 10 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheerios4u98 Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 I just really love WDNTW (even though I basically never listen to it anymore) so it's really fun to revisit these songs in a new way. His voice is super different but it doesn't really bother me. I love when bands make acoustic versions of their albums. They're never as good as the original album but they're always fun to listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheerios4u98 Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Also apparently Tom has said more songs are coming. That means we might have to wait another ten years, but it looks like we may still get all ten songs eventually. Start the Machine is my favorite Angels & Airwaves song so that's what I want to hear the most. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucko Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Love 'The Adventure', but I have always felt indifferent to this album. Would have liked 'The War' on this EP, think it would transpose to acoustic nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 I'd be curious to hear It Hurts. I actually think I could have liked that song if Tom's vocals weren't so horrendous on it. sounds like he's in the middle of a bowel movement on the record. if he just sounds bored on the acoustic that'll still probably sound better.

MSandt Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Another "solid" AvA release in that I listened to it about twice or thrice and have no particular interest in doing so ever again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
