It's been a long time since a band has emerged from the world of black t-shirts and spiky hair with a sound as original as ADAIR's "The Destruction of Everything Is the Beginning of Something New".

Each song has it's own unique story to tell and ADAIR puts them all together to create an epic album that you'll be singing in your sleep.

I have been waiting for this album since I saw the band at a Story of the Year concert almost two years ago. I bought their 5 song album at the show and loved it. I got this cd and it is fantastic. Each song has a unique sound and the vocals are different with every song as well. I feel that they will become one of the more popular underground rock bands out there within a few years.

The Good
Driving riffs and resonating licks set the pace for "Barricade the Doors." Vocalist Rob Tweedie has a good melodic tone without coming off too whiney. Tweedie mixes melody with emotional outbursts on the mid-tempo track "I Buried My Heart in Cosmo Part." "Folding and Unfolding" focuses more on vocals than instrumentation. "The Diamond Ring" has a nice flow to it with its smooth rhythm changes and slow building crescendo. The riffs get heavier and the licks get more prevalent on "The Ghosts of Who We Were."

The Bad
Adair can construct a decent song, but no matter how many times I listen to them, I just can't get into them. The lyrics tend to go over your head, and there's no repetition with the music.

The Verdict
Adair are a great bunch of guys and are passionate about what they do. Unfortunately, I found their music to be rather average and dull.
