"The Way You Like It" was the second single from Adema's self-titled 2001 debut on Arista, and underneath the down-tuned churn it's a song about fame: how it gets its hooks into people, bends them, and leaves them as someone they never meant to become. All five members, Mark Chavez, Tim Fluckey, Mike Ransom, Dave DeRoo and Kris Kohls, share the writing credit, Bill Appleberry and Tobias Miller produced, and Alan Moulder mixed it thick and punishing.
Gregory Dark's video cuts between the band hammering away for a sweaty underground mosh crowd and a goofy road trip through town: Chavez wanders off with two women, lead guitarist Fluckey dozes and gets smothered in ketchup, rhythm guitarist Ransom gets slipped a VIP card, bassist DeRoo gets bounced from it, and drummer Kohls gets thrown out of the men's room.
