Tom DeLonge was quoted saying that Angels & Airwaves "sounds like it has the conceptual depth of Pink Floyd, the anthemic architecture of U2 but with Tom from Blink writing all the melodies..." I would have to strongly disagree with that statement, and say that it's rather arrogant of him to compare his music to other artists in such a way. In no way do I find it ground breaking or even mind blowing, let alone in the same category of excellent groups such as Pink Floyd or U2. If you want Tom's best works, pick up the Box Car Racer self titled album.
