Editorial Reviews

Probably the rarest Adicts album of them all makes it's debut on CD complete with the bonus of the "Bar Room Bop" EP. This came out in 1986 for about ten minutes and has been unavailable ever since. Comes complete with lyrics to every song and a detailed liner note.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Gem of The New Wave Era (1986), April 14, 2004

Though the Adicts encorporate keyboards on this album--its a good thing because, unlike most mid-80s artists they do not over-use the keyboards. Thus, this album is vastly better than its contemporaries. It's like the Buzzcocks but with better vocals--in fact Monkey's voice is stronger on this album than any other.
The best song is 'Na Na Na'--it's artfulness belies the lame title. 'Beauty Sleep' features guest vocals from Siouxsie Sioux.
Though many of the songs have the gloomy synth sound so prevalent in UK New Wave, the Adicts include rockers like 'She's a Rocker' and 'Daggers' before giving us the racious bonus tracks which comprise their 1985 'Bar Room Bop' EP which, like '5th Overture' was impossible to find until this reissue. The 'Bar Room Bop' songs are much more bouncy and punk than the '5th Overture' tracks--especially the party anthem 'Who Spilt My Beer?'

This review is from: Fifth Overture (Audio CD)

I usually review black, death, and thrash metal albums but I will make an exception for this album. This album is great. I bought it when I was 14 when I was way into punk. This and "Living In Darkness" by Agent Orange are the only punk albums I still listen to today. This is the best Adicts album. The rest of them are more happy and poppy. This album is more of a new wave album, but its still great. My favorite bands are decide, Gorgoroth and Nachtmystium, but I still listen to this album daily.
