Adhesive were never well-known outside of Europe. Out of their 5 proper releases only one ("sideburner") was ever available stateside. Sure "sideburner" is a great album, but it only hints at the greatness to come two years later. A band who would go on to release what I feel are two of the best punk albums in history. ("from left to right" and "we got the beat") And unlike 95% of their peers, Adhesive never went stale, always reinventing themselves over their 8 year span. And finally laying the band to rest when they felt the time was right. I guess they accomplished what they had set out to do: Create intelligent, moving and memorable music while keeping things fun too. I do wish some worthy label would re-release their stuff to the rest of the world. Adhesive could stand the test of time if only more people knew they existed.

A must for any punk fan... really hard to find because it is out of print since many years. one of my favorites cd.

If you concider yourself a true punk, this is an album you must have. To me this is one of the most important punkbands of the nineties. Their fast punk fits perfectly with their melodic vocals. This album had an influence on so many bands. The price for this one is ridicilous, but there's a reason !! (If I ever find their first EP 'Yoghurt' I wouldn't doubt to pay $50!)

This cd is crazy, Its exactly what punk should be in this day in age, its too expensive though, but then again, isnt every cd?
killer cd, definetely a good buy for the ounk fan

i just started listening to these guys not too long ago and there really good, definitely worth the money, but not good enough to throw out your pennywise cd's. i don't know what that guy below was thinking, especially putting blink 182 and pennywise together in same sentence.

Adhesive's style is a lot like Millencolin (especially in songs like "Mr. Clean" ), but the harmony and guitar solos are much more complex. "Sideburner" displays a lot of different punk styles, including some original vocal and guitar parts that are awesome. If you are a Millencolin or S.L.F. fan, you would enjoy this cd.

This is one of the best punk albums to pop up in awhile! fast and heartfelt, reminiscent of early millencolin. i hope these guys get more attention because they deserve it more than anyone!

Adhesive is a must have, coming from Sweden much like Millencolin and Pridebowl, these guy can't be beat! Fast catchy songs that you will play over and over. "On a Pedestal" is a good one, fast beat and good lyrics, throw your stupid ass pennywise and blink in the trash boys and girls, cause it's all about Adhesive!
