Disco de The Adicts: “Ultimate Addiction”

awesome cd. all really good songs with the clockwork witty "smart alex". adicts are another band that really cant go wrong.

this cd is a good collection of their songs. Although i personally like "songs of praise" and "joker in the pack" better. If you are looking for a cd with their best songs this isnt exactly what you are looking for. They are missing too many of their good songs.....so go with "songs of Praise" or "Joker in the pack" o ya.....(yes, the adicts have and oi'ish style....they are not oi punk....but its close)

Ok first of the bat. The Adicts are NOT oi punk (Wich is also great and I suggest you listen to some!) they are Clockwork punk and some of the best I have ever heard. YES thier songs are packed full of energy and YES they are definatly FUN (every time I hear "Viva La Revolution" I get in the mood to go riot in the streets just for fun) but they also have talent! Thier songs are more complex then you would think (Just try playing "Striaght Jacket" on any instrument and you'll see) Thier songs have meaning everywhere (Some obvious ones: "Viva La Revolution" and "Don't Exploit ME") But if this review doesn't convince you then listen to the samples.
