Consistency Might Be Key

          I stumbled upon this song today while on iTunes.  It's their free single of the week so I though, what the heck might as well download it.  I've never been a huge fan of Angels and Airwaves, but I do like their music.  Except for one little thing - their songs all sound the same.  While the lyrics are all pretty good, they seem to be about the same topics.  The instrumentals are also always similar.  Very epic. 
          It's no surprise that this song doesn't disappoint in that aspect.  The chorus sounds just like one from another one of their songs...though I can't think of which one.  Frontman, Tom DeLonge also still sounds the same.  His Angels and Airwaves voice, contrary to his Blink 182 voice, is displayed here as usual.  Not that his voice is bad, I do actually like it.  However, his overexcentuation of the words does sometimes get annoying.  Regardless, I'm pretty sure he purposely makes it sound that way in order to give them this distinct sound.  I mean, there's no way they just sound like this by accident.         
          Angels and Airwaves definitely have the consistency factor down.  Maybe Tom Delonge was just too tired to come up with anything else, since he also just released a new Blink album a couple of months ago.  One thing that this band does have going for them is that, at least when you hear one of their songs for the first time, there's no doubting who they are.  Hmmm well, maybe that might be a good thing, but maybe not.  I guess it just depends on what you prefer.
