Atreyu – Lead Sails, Paper Anchor

Monday, September 3rd, 2007

leadsailsAtreyu released a greatest hits compilation in between Ex’s and Oh’s and their latest release “Lead Sails, Paper Anchor”. The latest release does seem to be heading down a certain path in terms of a change in sound. Since Ex’s and Oh’s, there has been a trend to an old school guitar sound reminiscent of Van Halen . I am still getting used to the sound but Atreyu has several releases and they are all worth listening to.

Adema – Kill The Headlights

Monday, September 3rd, 2007

killthehadlights Adema’s latest effort “Kill the Headlights” is probably the most radio friendly release to date. Many tracks standout as very catchy “All These Years”, “Black Clouds”, “Cold and Jaded” and the sombre “Days Go By”.

Even though a lot of the tracks contain a pop like element, Adema still is able to redefine itself as a rock band though with enough grit on other tracks to balance out.

This is a solid release and definitely worth checking out.
