Once again, Tom DeLonge gives some free love before turning his attention to the new Blink-182 reunion album. Is it a free steal or did we even want it given away to us the begin with? I'd like to talk about Angels & Airwaves which is also commonly known as A∀A about their third studio album entitled, LOVE. It was officially released worldwide on February 14, 2010. It was supposed to be released last year but it was delayed from Christmas, 2009. They began producing it in January, 2009 but progress was slow due to Blink-182 reuniting and going on tour. AVA finished the album in time for its release on Valentine's Day 2010 . The first single from the album, "Hallucinations," was made available for free through the band's website on December 23, 2009. A lot of synth was thrown in this album and it sounds very good compared to their second album, "I-Empire."

Track by track, the pace slows down, which is fine, but it never really picks up again. Tracks like “Shove” and “The Moon Atomic (…Fragments and Fictions)” are slow, similar-sounding, but the lyrics just seem to bring you to an adventure, traveling almost anywhere you can go. It flows seamlessly into the churning. He sounds incredibly convincing in this album. Almost each of the songs seem to connect with each other. This is what makes the songs inspiring and gives you that "aloft in the air" feeling. They are giving it away for free online, though you can contribute some money if you want, which will get you a remixed track from the album done by Mark Hoppus.

Of the release, DeLonge said, "It is the biggest release of my life, the pinnacle of my creativity. It's super conceptual and highbrow in many ways, very artistic, very Stanley Kubrick, but it's not a rock opera. It's a very modern version of what could happen when you blend the film industry and the music industry together in a very, very arty, kind of cool way with professionals involved all along the path."
