Fronted by genetic pick-six winner Mark Chavez (the younger, more GQ half-brother of Korn singer Jonathan Davis) ADEMA’s sonically monotonous debut album succeeds in pounding an essential nail into Nu Metal’s coffin. No matter, computers will soon be capable of independently generating music more creative and vibrant than this limp human offering. With his good looks, Chavez probably bags more tail than Davy Crocket, but aesthetic appeal can’t shift a listener’s focus from such lyrical disasters as "Live life the way that you want/Life’s a game, so don’t complain/You can’t obtain, figure out/ How to maintain, it’s a shame." Or how about this enlightened musing: "This life that I’m living is nothing without you/I’d shed my skin for you/What would you want me to do? I will always love you/But I can’t live like this." Insulting. Enduring the tortured conviction with which Chavez delivers his parochial drafts is equally insulting; it feels like you’re witnessing the musical equivalent of a fake orgasm. And the contrived post-Orgy arrangements are no help. The band, the producer and Arista, which outbid two-dozen other labels for ADEMA rights, cannot be happy with this product. If any more half-relations start putting out albums, Jonathan Davis’ entire family tree may need to be uprooted.-Cliff Frantz
