Review by Salvo "Lovedeath" Russo____

Adema represents one of the many nu-metal bands
that takes inspiration from Linkin Park and Korn! As we know this
band was created by Jonatan David's brother(Jonatan is Korn's
vocalist) and their music sound can't but take inspiration from
Korn!!!!. This new album gets the same sound of the previous one....Good
powerful guitars, a good singer and a very good rhytmic session. The
production is at the top but I can't but admit there are few
ideas concerning the melodies!!!!
I notice that there are few heart-attack songs,
even if there are some rather good ideas concerning
mid-tempo songs that keep a fairly good quality
supported with a good studio-recording work.
They give the best of themselves in mid-tempos
songs those in which they're nearer to Linkin Park; In
this kind of compostions they get a better expression
and they're able to create melancholic atmosphere rich of deepness.
I like their perfect arrangements ...Guitars gets good
distorsion and some good chorus are used in order to give deepness
in the slow-parts.
The title-track is full of perfect eletronic loops and
powerful guitars, the melody refrain remind me of Korn!!!A good
song ...but it doesn't get originality!
"Ripe the heart out of me" is
another Korn's style song...nothing new....!"Stand Up"
beging with a very good guitar arpeggio and the songs is
better...some good ideas concerning the structure are supported with
a nice melody.
I want to underline "Promises"
that get a particolar melancholy and a good refrain and fortunate"
that is nearer to alternative rock and very far from classic
nu-metal.
In my opinion the best song of this album "Betray"
that seems to mix a particular kind of melancholic-alternative with
classic nu-metal! This song gets originality and in my opinion it
could represent a way to follow for future compositions.
"Let go" turns to pop!!!!An avoidable
song, while "Needles" is a very hard song ..
without melody...without ideas!!!!There's nothing to say about the
other tracks that in my opinion don't get nothing new. In
my opinion their previous album gets better songs in particular
concerning the melodies.
At the moment their music is a mixture between
alternative rock and nu-metal, and even if there are some good ideas, in
my opinion, they haven't found a personal own style, and they
have to decide upon a concrete musical direction.
Rating: 6/10
