Adelitas Way, accomplishes what all great rock albums do. It has something for everyone, it's cool, it's hot, it's loud, it whispers, it rocks, it's emotional, it grips your soul and it is a hellava great record. This new band out of Las Vegas writes songs with great melodies, superior musicianship, unforgettable riffs, hard rockin guitar sections, heart tugging lyrics and energizing vocals. Destined to be 2009's most favorite album , I see why WWE have already picked up two of their songs.

I first caught the band, Adelitas Way, at a local concert opening for 10 Years. From the first song there was no mistaking that his band was chock full of supremely talented musicians. Watching this band live is an incredible experience not to be missed, and now fans are treated with their long awaited debut album. And what an album it is. Do not let this one pass you by, Adelitas Way has something very very special that you won't wanna miss.

The album opens with three strong selections in a row. The heart pounding power anthem and WWE theme song "Invincible", followed by one of the heaviest tracks on the album "Scream" and "Dirty Little Thing" destined to be the most memorable track and one everyone will love. The height of the album comes at track 6 and 7. My favorite "So What If You Go" effortlessly transitions into the soul ripping track "Closer to You". The album changes into the crunchy, funky guitar track "Just A Little Bit" and closes with the very sad "Brother". Missing from the album is "Inside", and by my estimation probably one of their best-but no fear, you get it for joining their mailing list.

Highlights:

"So What If You Go" - Guitar, Guitar, Guitar, you can't mistake what guitarists Chris and Keith bring to this album, and this song displays some of their work. This is probably my favorite song on the album. The opening transition and screaming riff tears me apart every time. At 2:49 Chris launches into a beautifully integrated solo that rings with fervor and passion rarely seen in a young band.

"Closer to You" - The anthemy opening fits perfectly at this point on the album. This song has what all great songs possess, it's happy and sad all at the same time and gets deep inside your heart and stays there.

"Just A Little Bit" - has a funky vibey opening riff that makes this one of my favorite tracks and is just plain fun. It's the ultimate party track and displays some of the albums best guitar work.

This album is absolutely amazing!! You will NOT be disappointed!
Definitely one of the BEST new bands to emerge from this decade!
Excellent musicianship, fantastic lyrics..These guys ROCK!!
A MUST HAVE for any Rock music fan!
Adelitas Way is the whole package. There is NOT one mediocre song on this album. ALL the tunes are AWESOME!!
You will play this one over and over..

I just bought this today and have listened to it at least five times straight through already. It's one of the very few albums that I don't feel the need to skip songs on. Every single song has a unique rocking vibe and it has a fresh sound that clearly distinguishes it from the rest of the songs.

One of the most poignant and emotional songs to me is Brother. The words are very gripping and you can really hear the emotion in Rick's vocals. Not to mention an amazing guitar solo by Chris.

This is the epitome of what a real rock record should sound like. Balls to the wall, never let you go, in your face, rocking album. Everyone should definitely check them out!

ADELITAS WAY,has a bright future ahead of them no doubt.There debut album is full of great songs with sing-along choruses.Standout tracks among these are Lead single Invincible,Scream and Last stand.However,There are also quite a few borrowed elements on there debut that one can't help but notice. Since i am reviewing this lets point them out.Dirty little thing has Nickelback's save me all over the bridge. Anyone that doesn't hear Daughtry's It's not over being copied with Last stand should take a second listen. My Derailment's chorus is basically the chorus to Taking Back Sunday's MAKEDAMNSURE. One can even hear Pokerface in the opening riff of Hate love. For me taking all that into consideration I could not bring myself to give this anymore then 3 stars for this review. This band however has plenty of potential and hopefully will be around to make another album and put more of there own stamp on it. They suceeded in doing that with songs like Invincible and Scream.

I heard the first time a song by Adelitas Way on youtube. Now I bought this album and I'm very glad I did it. They do a great job. In my opinion the best song in the album is ''Scream''. It's not such rock'n'roll music where they only scream at each other. It's much better like other reviews decscribe. I can only recommend it to you guys. Give it a try and you won't be disappointed.

First off - I hate writing reviews; I'm never quite sure what to say, especially about music. It's far to subjective and a matter of varied opinions and tastes. Secondly, I'm a music junkie. I will listen to anything (at least once) and this band kept coming up in my "recommended by Amazon" list. So after a year and on a whim, I figured why not. I'm very glad I did. It's a pretty good listen all the way through (haven't skipped one yet) and quickly realized that I'd heard a couple of the tunes before. I just didn't know it was this band at the time. Also of note, not every song sounds the same.

Is it the most original, best thing out there? Probably not. Does it have at least one song that everyone can relate to? That it does. From my father to my youngest niece and friends have enjoyed at least one of the tunes. Personally, I've enjoyed it; I recommend you sample the songs, give it a try. If you like it, buy it. In the end, I think you'll be pleased.

And hey; there are worse things you can blow ten bucks on, right?

Adelitas Way is a band that is completely energetic, and very easy to listen to. Proof is their first album, entitled Adelitas Way, which definitely shows they are no one hit wonder. My favorite tracks include: Invincible, So What If You Go, Dirty Little Thing, and My Derailment. This band is definitely going places in the future.

Rating: 4.5 stars/5 stars

Just purchased this cd and wish I had bought it when it came out! Can't wait until I get their new album. These guys rock.

Came quickly, and no damage! Love the CD, can't wait until 2nd track comes out - I will deff. buy!

I've been in Vegas for over 20 years now and first heard this band on the local Rock Station KOMP (Thank you Laurie Steele) and patiently awaited the release of an album. This is the kind of band that when they're put up against other bands in new local talent contests thru radio stations...wins. Hands down this is a complete package to the listener. A multi climactic eargasm.
