Despite having a softer sound in some of the songs compared to their previous (and better) album, this is a solid second release by Adema.

CD Reviews
Adema's last good album.

"Well I've listened to the new Adema album, Planets, and it's just not the same without the lead singer, Mark Chavez. The new singer's voice doesn't have anything that draws your attention like Mark's does.
Anyway, I believe Unstable is Adema's greatest album (and most likely last greatest). People complain about lack of depth in the lyrics; however, this lack of depth makes it easier to relate with situations in your own life. The best songs are:
1. Co-Dependent
2. Rip the Heart Out of Me
3. Stand Up
4. Unstable
5. Promises
6. Blame Me
8. Stressin' Out
12. Needles

What happened here?

"So this isn't the worst CD ever made but it's far from the best, and it's far from their debut. The first single 'Unstable' is a great song, and 'Promises' although feeling a little forced is still decent...but the problem here is that other than 'Rip the heart out of me' (which is still not great) the rest of the CD falls flat and becomes very forgettable. They had so much promise with their debut that for this album to come out with no support and dismal sales and then to really (for lack of a better word) suck the way it did is sad. So now they've dumped Mike (the singer) and thats probably for the best since his voice just doesn't fit. I know what you may think...he sounds just like Jonathon Davis, but Jon makes it work and Mike just couldn't...Anyways, it's sad they had to go out like this...I hear that 'Planets' (the bands effort without Mike) is decent, but still not much success is coming their way. Oh well. Maybe next time."
One hit wonder.

"This CD is completely pushed by the song, "Unstable". All other songs are blander, mainstream-ish types, and the other track, "Immortal", is a lyrical disaster. I mean, it is simply repeating "You can't kill me, I'm immortal." - Like it's a revelation to people, that the word "Immortal" means unable to be killed. Overall, this CD is only good for that one song. If you have an Ipod, Buy the track, if not, simply disregard the rest."
