Grade: C+
Angels and Airwaves’ newest album, “Love: Part Two,” is an extension of the band’s 2010 release, “Love,” which was re-released to accompany “Part Two” in a double album. The spacey, synth-heavy “Saturday Love” sets the tone for the second part, which seems to perfectly match the astronaut on the album cover. Angels and Airwaves spurred from Blink-182’s breakup and features the same frontman, Tom DeLonge . While Angels and Airwaves has a more mellow sound, DeLonge still exudes punk. His nasally voice grinds against the satiny acoustics, creating a sound that awkwardly dances between punk and alternative. “Love: Part Two” isn’t bad — it’s enjoyable and flows smoothly with its companion album. While some tracks sound too familiar, others like “Inertia” are interesting and complex. It’s a hit-and-miss effort.
