Making of The Album
The album's roots can be traced back to the Blink-182 writing sessions that began whilst on tour in 2004, in preparation for a new Blink-182 album. When Tom DeLonge departed Blink-182 in February 2005, he used some of these demos as foundations for Angels & Airwaves songs. Regarding DeLonge's decision to use these ideas, Mark Hoppus stated in 2006 that:
| “ | There were some cool songs started in those dressing rooms. After Tom quit, our old manager called and said that he was going to take some of the ideas that we had started on the tour and re-record them for Tom’s new band. When the Angels and Airwaves record came out, I was actually excited to hear what had become of those ideas. There were some great beginnings in those demos. I was really disappointed in what became of them, though, for the same reasons I mentioned above. I thought they would have made great blink-182 songs, but something got lost in the translation. | ” |
For the rest of 2005, Tom and his new bandmates wrote and recorded all of the songs on this album at his home studio.
