Originally released on May 23, 2006, We Don't Need to Whisper was named after the first phrase Tom DeLonge said into a microphone when sessions began, testing to see if everything was working. The album was recorded at his home studio in sessions that began in March 2005.
DeLonge says, "We would literally shut the blinds, dim all the lights, put Stanley Kubrick's 2001 on the flat-screen TV and take these Stephen Ambrose World War II books, with these two-page spreads of cities burning and people dying, and we'd paste them all over the wall. So, on one end of the room, you'd have the endless hope of space, and on the other end you'd have the worst of humanity, and then in the middle, we'd write a love song."
DeLonge knows how he'd like people to listen to We Don't Need to Whisper. "I really want the room to be dark, with black light or a candle," he says. "People should have headphones on, and they should be really comfortable, maybe sitting on the floor, leaning against the bed. I spent a year and a half working on this record, trying my hardest to give people a moment of escapism. All I ask is 50 minutes of a lowered heart rate."
