5.0 out of 5 stars Addictive!
This is awesome guitar-pop/grunge. Every song is worth hearing, theres no fillers here. The highlight of this album is the album. My favourite songs are “Monster Side”, “Caned”, “Teenage Angel” and the amazing “Stones”. Why haven’t you bought it yet?
The only bad thing is that this band didn’t make the big time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bands that really should be remembered more often.
I accidentally came across this CD the first time I ever heard ‘Addict’ – ‘Monster Side’ on the Disturbing Behaviour soundtrack and I was obsessed with it for a long time. Now I listen to the album and regret that the band didn’t continue making records. Really too bad. Reminiscent of Silverchair, Bush and even Placebo (I make strange connections), this band still has a very unique style that I have yet to hear repeated by anyone else. Astons voice is very distinct and just… makes you want to keep listening. Energetic melodies with a subtle dark undertone is what made me love this band. If you’re looking for that ‘great indie band I haven’t yet heard’, definitely get it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic début from a talented band.,
Addicts début album sounds wise beyond its years. Its the sort of album where almost any track could have been lifted for release as a single. Mark Astons voice is amazing, and the strength of his lyrics is astounding. Nikolai Juels skills on guitar mean he can make the most tender or jagged sounds with ease, which add great depth to each track. “Nobody Knows”, “All Change” and “Caned” rock like theres no tomorrow, whilst “Red Bird” and “Teenage Angel” show a more emotional side.
I’m already Addict-ed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great début
When I listened to the whole album I was sure that I had heard a great new band. I really like Mark Astons voice, the heavy guitars and the melodic – hard rock.

————————————————————

5.0 out of 5 stars New style, still growing, keep watching – good CD!!!!!,
Interesting in that you can’t tell the song from the intro. Listen to all of it – Nobody Knows, All Change & Caned rock hard while Teenage Angel and Stones tend to ballad. Great lyrics, good syncopation and vocals. Get this soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great début album that augers well for the future.
The blurb that comes with the CD mentions Led Zeppelin and U2 as influences on Addicts sound. This may well be but by my reckoning they borrow heavily from Radiohead and Pearl Jam. “Stones” is a modern rock album that has no pretensions at being more than it is.
The first track, “Dust” leaves you in no doubt as to what to expect from the album and has an angst-filled refrain that has you joining in by the second repetition. The Radiohead influence comes through in particular on the second track, “Monster Side”, which sounds like “Creep” revisited. Track 6, “Teenage Angel” is a rock ballad of mistakes, lost opportunities and lost love and is one of my highlights on the album.
I bought “Stones” on the strength of one song which I saw on late-night TV and it turned out to be one of those albums that surprise you by the number of tracks that you enjoy.
Definitely worth dropping hints for to get as a Christmas present!

5.0 out of 5 stars End of 90s,
This album I recently bought after not listening to it for years. Cool sounds and songs. Memories.

————————————————————

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Cd
I really like this cd. The singers voice is very fitting with the sound of the music. This band somewhat resembles Bush.

————————————————————

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Album EVER,
I just picked this CD up after a forgetting about it for a long time and I forgot how awesome these songs are. Really grows on you.

————————————————————

5.0 out of 5 stars I’m Addicted…,
A great record which really grows the more you listen to it. Mark Astons’ singing works really well together with the still quite special “addict sound”. I really believe these guys are going to be BIG someday…
