The riff is nearly a perfect copy of the singer’s hit single, and both of the chorus melodies are extremely similar as well. What’s more, the latter song borrows a little too much from Avril Lavigne’s own song, “My Happy Ending”. The prior’s lyric arrangement of: ”I can make you scream, how I live my life, when I have no choice,” comes off as rather random, seemingly making no sense whatsoever. “Scream” and “My Derailment” follow the heightened male ego complexes that were displayed in the opener. In short, Chris Lorio is quite efficient when it comes to concocting power ballad guitar solos. While these offerings play like replicas of the hit singles taken off Nickleback’s All the Right Reasons, I do have to give the band some credit in their throwback to the 80s. The album carries the expected ballads that are contrived and created for the lovesick as heard on “All Falls Down”, “Last Stand”, and “Closer To You”. Lead single and opener “Invincible” is the sound of a band that think they’re unstoppable – a so-called anthem if you will – and the band attempts to keep this unjustified pretense throughout this debut album. I believe Adelitas Way know what they are getting themselves into, and for what it is worth, they are fairly confident in their recycled efforts.
The band follows the aforementioned formula almost perfectly: the singer is gruff, the songs beg for radio attention, and the lyrical subjects go no further than girls, male testosterone, and parties. In short, it’s quickly become a game of not what a band of this type can bring new to the table, but of how well the band follows this quest-for-radio-glory format.Īdelitas Way is the next band to enter the competition for the prized post grunge throne. With slight variations that are all but nonexistent, bands like Creed, Nickelback, Puddle of Mudd, and 3 Doors Down have resigned themselves to record the same record repeatedly throughout their career, spawning singles that follow a repeated formula.
Review Summary: Adelitas Way may be "feeling invincible tonight", but that doesn't mean that they actually are.Įver since the explosion that came in the early 90s with Nirvana's Nevermind, many grunge and post grunge bands have always seemed to be in a race to completely rule the revamped rock world through the radio.
