billboard review on addicted - 4/19/2008 1:47:36 AM    mexa warrior Posts: 156 Joined: 7/13/2003 From: chihuahua, Mexico Status: offline P.O.D. celebrates the reunion of its original lineup with "When Angels & Serpents Dance" (April 8), but the party has already fallen flat. The record is midtempo and experimental (no crime there), yet lead single "Addicted" was probably chosen to reassure that the band is still playing socially conscious rock—which would be fine if "Addicted" wasn't as harmless as aspirin. Down-tuned guitars make the track sludgy, as vocalist Sonny Sandoval misfires with an off-kilter rap that leaves him sounding winded. He claims to feel "electrified, I'm so high" on a track that can knock you out like Valium; however, PDs seem to be embracing this "addiction." We're holding out for the disc's "End of the World." —Christa L. Titus http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/content_display/reviews/singles/e3i6265e046f0a7094b023deb513ac7377f im kinda very impressed (in the bad way) i dont remember to read such a bad review form a pod song. i still love it though, but dam. _____________________________ ...

Got a bit angry there for a sec lol.  Anyway, "Addicted", to me, is an excellent track.  I still think it was the wrong lead single choice, but still.  Take a look Billboard, "Addicted" is number 33, someone has to be enjoying it! Keep it real Warriors!

At least i think it was deliberate and effective! _____________________________ a.k.a youngwarrior www.myspace.com/resurrectionmetal In these tribulations, Preach his Kingdom (in reply to warrior_4_jah) Post #: 3

Like Warrior Chaz said it all depends on what the person likes. _____________________________ End of the World (Matthew 24) (in reply to Warrior Chaz) Post #: 6

They have lesbian love shows, drug taking, and extremley imoral behaviour, then a video like 'Addcited' comes out, Christian band, who identify's the truth...and its banned.
