While “Getaway” has grown on me over the last year, I was enamored with “Low” from the first time I heard it. I like it more and more each time I hear it. But that doesn’t mean I can’t recognize the greatness of the first four songs on the LP including the excellent title track. Even worse, many of the songs on the album were simply weaker than previous efforts. It didn’t sound that different from Stuck whereas I felt the band had shifted their soundscape notably between each of their first three albums. I’ll admit that I was a bit disappointed with last year’s Getaway as a whole. But the more I listened to it, the more I came to appreciate it. I wasn’t so sure about it at first the chorus is a little too busy and the intro produces this almost countrified vibe (which I was very against at the time).
#ADELITAS WAY ALBUM FULL#
When I went to Disney World in 2014, the full Stuck album had yet to be released, but Adelitas Way had already released this pretty ambitious first single to promote it. “Not Thinking About Me” was instantly one of my favorites featuring an almost ’90s Grunge feel and a brooding mood that I have consistently enjoyed. It sounded so different and more polished than their first two efforts, and it even incorporated different sub-genres they had yet to explore. “Not Thinking About Me” – Stuck (2014)Īlthough my relationship with Adelitas Way began with their first album, I’ll never forget listening to Stuck for the first time and being legitimately impressed with what the band had accomplished. So in celebration of one of my favorite bands from my formative years of music, I present my list of the Top 10 Adelitas Way songs of all time. And no matter how sophisticated my musical taste gets, I will always have a place for them. But Adelitas Way just hit me at the right time in my life to stick. And the truth is, I hate pretty much any band that sounds like Adelitas Way to come out of that mid-to-late ’00s time period (with the exception of The Veer Union, who I also got into around that ’09 time frame). They associate me much more with bands of a bygone era like Aerosmith, Guns N’ Roses (who aren’t so bygone these days), The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, etc. People are often shocked when I tell them about my love for this band. I’ve been back twice since then, in 20, and both times I made a point to listen to Adelitas Way’s entire catalog while I was there. Amusingly enough, they also have become synonymous with Disney World in my psyche as I was listening to them heavily upon my trip to the theme park in the Spring of 2010. Listening to them takes me back to that time in my life when everything I heard sounded new and exciting. And even though I’ve gone through album after album from some of the greatest bands of all time, have listened to every song on Rolling Stone‘s Top 500 Songs of All Time list, and have well over 2,000 songs in my Burnes Turns playlist, Adelitas Way is always there. I liked the song and decided to listen to Adelitas Way’s entire self-titled debut, which was no small thing back then as it was well before Spotify and I had to purchase their album as a gesture of faith. I found out about Adelitas Way through WWE who used their song “Invincible” as the theme song for one of their weekly television shows. They were just starting out with their first studio LP and I related to that concept of starting fresh and being excited to discover. I began listening to Adelitas Way as soon as their first album came out. There’s a lot of stuff from back then that I would never listen to today, but through it all, one band has remained comfortably entrenched in my musical diet: Adelitas Way. I was young and hungry to learn everything I could about music, and so I listened to anything I could get my ears on from Aerosmith to Beyonce to Skillet to Michael Jackson. That was when I got my first iPod and it’s when I discovered Rolling Stone magazine, which was a big influencer for me as I became an avid music listener. If you’ve been around this site enough, you know that I didn’t really get into music until 2009, when I was about fifteen years old.
