What's the best way to get your name out there? Do something everybody likes by making it as radio-friendly as possible. Thus is Saving Abel's strategy with this song. But while they may not be inventing the wheel, it is a guilty-pleasure type song that's catchy and something everybody likes.

The music is the very definition of modern rock, and the lyrics and here and there and he's angry at his girlfriend or something and... well I just can't keep track. But he does throw in a profanity or two just to get that rock street cred, because let's face it, what kind of modern rocker are you if you don't cuss every once in a while.

Radio-friendly to the core, if you love modern rock, or even just like it, you'll have your hands all over this song. It never aspires to be more than it is, and naturally success is following.

Radio friendly is the nicest thing i can say about this. All of the sex and rock and roll in this song sounds forced, and I can't help but think that Nickleback is to blame, because everything is starting to sound like them. Including this single. If you like Nickleback or 3Doors Down, buy this single. If you're like me and can't stand most of the new crap they are playing on the radio, stay away.

Love the song; I was hooked the first time I heard it. Should really help Saving Abel get their name out there and known. I also just really wanted to counter the ridiculous review this song received which actually had nothing to do with the song at all.

I'll give the band credit for writing a catchy, hooky song, but that's about as far as it goes. After hearing this song on near-endless repeat since Summer '08 (When I resumed listening to the radio) I can't say that this song will stand the test of time.

Some, or even a lot, of people go for disposable pop/rock songs, but anyone looking for a little more depth or originality should steer clear of this one. The song is a paint-by-numbers affair written specifically with the radio in mind, and in that aspect it hits it's mark. Otherwise, it's just another catchy, forgettable rock song.

"Addicted" is quasi-punk rock from the quasi-punk rockers Saving Abel. At best,they can hope to be one-hit wonders with this song. The front man sings about sex with his girlfriend,about the noises she makes "between the sheets." Surprisingly,this song speaks of "making love"--quite unexpected in an otherwise vulgar song. It's a song about sex that's quite unsexy. If you want to promote abstinence-only education,this song would work wonders.
