Mistakenly billed as the industrial band's swan song at the time of its original 1999 release, KMFDM's last album of the '90s is also one of its most accessible, with its lighter tracks, such as "Witness" and "R.U.OK?," recalling the '80s electro-pop of the Human League and Depeche Mode. Those assuming the band had gone soft were in for a rude awakening, however, with the ominous cadences of cuts such as "Bereit" and the twitchy menace of "D.I.Y." providing a gothic counterpoint to the album's frothier moments.
Editorial Reviews ...every new KMFDM album has consistently meant jackhammer beats and martial rhythms, techno bloops and overdriven metal guitars....ADIOS ladles up a heaping helping of the KDFM essentials... New Music Monthly (07/01/1999)
4 out of 5 - ...ADIOS is one hell of a good-bye....KMFDM are settling the score with one last deadly blast of - well, more beat-driven, guitar-fueled, diva-wailing action....it provides a campy and caustic exit for KMFDM. Alternative Press (10/01/1999)
...[ADIOS] continues in the group's grand tradition of techno-informed industrial-fueled beat manipulation....The programmed, scintillating beats form an electrifying chemistry with the subtle guitars and female backing vocals...a satisfying sendoff for KMFDM. CMJ (05/10/1999)
