| Well, after a couple years after Adema's rough release of "Planets", Adema is back with their
third lead-singer, as well a great new sound. Unlike "Planets", this is actually Adema at work.
Even though the biggest change from "Unstable" was a different singer, "Planets" as a whole
was not even close to par with their previous work before the loss of Mark Chavez. But now,
with the help of Bobby Reeves, Adema is back.
Oddly enough, "Cold and Jaded", while still an amazing song, was their first single that I heard.
But I felt it didn't match up to several other songs on the album, a few being "Brand New Thing",
"What Doesn't Kill Us", and "Los Angeles". These are some of Adema's best work to date, with
or without Mark Chavez. But the entire album as a whole is very well done, and there's no
denying it. Adema took the last album as a learning experiance; they filled in the holes, and the
end result is "Kill the Headlights", which in my book, is a flawless album.
Listen number one to the record will have you very impressed with their new singer as well as the
new motivation and energy that they have. From what we have here, you wouldn't even think
Adema was even in the slump that they were with "Planets". It simply sounds like Mark left and
they immediately picked up where they left off, which is not an easy thing to do. But, Adema has
done it, and they're now back on course for even bigger and better things!
