0.0 | Killer9 | November 21st 09 | One of my guilty pleasures. A lot of people here aren't very fond of ASD but I have a soft spot for high pitched voices. A more focused album than Wires... Adelphia might be a loosely based concept album but as to that I'm unsure. The lyrics are seemingly based around a city, "first to the sea, then to the sky, it's beautiful I know you'll like it" is a captivating line from "The Children of Adelphia". I only hope that the next album will have improved instrumentals.

0.0 | EddieMarais | February 20th 13 | It's difficult to look past the two major flaws on this album - the vocals, and the lyrics. As a Literature student, it's very difficult to look past bad lyrics when the vocals are the centrepiece of a band, and combined with the attempted br00t0l/beautiful vox combo, this album is barely listenable. Sure, the clean vocals are impressive for a guy [I know most of us couldn't achieve a similar feat] and the harsh vocals aren't exactly offensive, but the combination has been done so many times, and in a much better way, that this just becomes another [metal/post-hard]core record destined to be forgotten by most, and defended by die hard fans striving to be different. ("You just don't get in, man, this music speaks to me!")

2.0 poor | IAmKickass | April 14th 11 | Stepping down from 'Wires', I can see what the band wanted to do here, but it all fails in execution. The album seems to take itself a little too seriously and the whole more mature label this album takes on just doesn't fit the band all too well. A serious disappointment.

2.0 poor | phpjoey | March 24th 10 | Beneath the fall out, this album was so underachieving I didn't bother giving it a reprieve by listening to it again.

3.0 good | SaosinEngaged | August 2nd 09 | I don't understand the hate. Been listening to this genre and variants of it for years, and I find Jagmin's vocals to be extremely impressive and at times epic. I personally believe his crystal clear, angelic voice to be the highlight of the album, versus the instrumentation. I'm probably the only person saying this, but I liked Wires more than Adelphia. I thought the "epicness" of the incredible harmonies on Wires was superior to almost all the ones on Adelphia, however the latter album does improve in other areas.

2.5 average | finedaytodie | June 13th 09 | The first two tracks on Adelphia were great, but nearly everything else screams mediocrity!
Some the 'lyrics' are absolutely cringe worthy. I simply can't look past shitty lyrics, despite the fact there is an obvious musical improvement over ASD's last album.
This album is simply no fun... 3 and a half minute songs seem to last 10. Nothing comes close to matching the first two tracks... it seems this record blew it's entire load only 6 minutes in.
Why didn't I illegally download this like I do everything else... I want my 10 bucks back.
