Hopefully it's half-decent like "The Collapse" and "Criticize," and less like "Sick."

Alive is a massive guilty pleasure.

All of their music sounds the same. I personally think "Sick" sounds like a dumber song than "The Collapse" and "Criticize." But yeah, overall their sound is sort of unoriginal and monotonous. |

I very much agree with this. I especially agree that "The Collapse" is a less stupid song than their usual. "Criticize" is better than "Sick" too, I agree, though neither impresses me very much. I feel like they're a better Pop Evil with a better singer. That's about as underhanded of a compliment as I've ever given. They're a better version of a sucky-ass band. ;) |

These guys are far from the band I'm most excited to hear a new album from, but at least they can push out a decent ballad or two.

These guys are amazing. "Last Stand" was my #1 song of 2010 and "Alive" is one of my top 10 of 2013. Super excited for this, although it goes without saying their heavier songs are nowhere near as strong as their ballads.

I thought "Scream" and "The Collapse" were both better than their ballads, and the ballads were on par with "Criticize" and better than "Sick" and "Invincible". I especially hated "Invincible", what a contrived song. I don't love their ballads, but I wouldn't like their ballads so it's okay. I recognize that they accomplished what they intended to with said ballads, but ballads inherently have a bit of cheesiness to them. The fact that their faux-"tough guy" anthems like "Invincible" and "Sick" are much cheesier than their ballads is their most damning demerit against them for me.
My Adelitas Way singles grading:
"The Collapse" B
"Scream" B
"Criticize" B-
"Alive" C+
"Last Stand" C+
"Sick" C-
"Invincible" D

I really liked their last albums singles, so hopefully this will continue their hot streak.

These guys aren't bad. I think they get a lot more flack than they deserve. I actually rather liked the singles off their last album, hope this one is also good. And yes I'm aware my post may be biased because I'm a fan of post-grunge/hard rock.  |

(I could be wrong) This better be worth the wait, if it's not I will be one disappointed fan, it better be the best thing they've released. |

I give up, All Access has the adds date listed as April 8th now. Seriously, this is getting on my nerves.  A small part of me is hoping that the song is released for download before then, but that is probably not going to happen. Once again, this better be perfect. |

Hopefully it is more like "The Collapse" than "Sick".

Watch how "Dog on a Leash" is some sort of sex term

Adelitas Way goes cockrock, now that's an interesting thought. I'm picturing a Sick Pt.2 (Which is an Invincible Pt.2 I guess?).
