2 out of 5 stars Too metallic, too aggressive, too modern..........2003-03-25

This is very metallic and aggressive, but not in the same musical vein as Slipknot or even the modern Judas Priest. Personally I'm not too happy with this rather hard and heavy low-key direction, and I believe that both the earlier "From now on" and the more recent project with Joe Lynn Turner is so much better. But if you like this release I strongly suggest you try to get hold of a copy of the officially unreleased Tony Iommi's "Eight star" - the follow up the Black Sabbath album "Seventh star" on which Hughes did the vocals. It sounds very much like this one. It might be rather difficult to get, but Ebay might be of help.

5 out of 5 stars The voice of rock, is an amazing spectical.......2002-06-14

Glenn Hughes, as always, comes out with something different every record, this one prooved to be a classic. The heavyness of this album returns to the sound of "burn" esque Purple, or this eighties work with Pat Thrall, and Gary moore. The standout tracks are "addication" with its tight groove and self reflective lyrics, "death of me" just plain out rock. "talk about it", "blue jade", etc. But the one track to have is "Madeleine" it employs everything that is Glenn hughes, and more. I must have album for fans of rock.

4 out of 5 stars The Hughes "Power Soul" Voice Rocks On!.......2000-06-25

An excellent piece of work from Mr. Glenn Hughes that shows his true vocal ability and soulful range. Coming out after what was a difficult era in his life, Glenn is able to express his himself here without conviction. Highly recommended for anyone who was into the 1976 "Made in Europe" sound (The all-time #1 rock record in my opinion), OR any of the Purple-Bolin transistion albums, etc. Glenn also offers a bonus track here of "You Fool No One". I believe this was recorded somewhere in Texas, but not sure.

4 out of 5 stars Hughes comes out of nowhere with another great release..........1999-05-23

You know, it's too bad that Glenn Hughes (former Trapeze and Deep Purple bassist/vocalist) doesn't receive that much attention these days. He's got a better, more soulful and emotion-inflected voice than 95% of other vocalists that are on the airwaves at the moment. Not only that, but his lyrics are better and more meaningful. Whatever, let most the public be caught up in schmoe dime-store music, it's their loss! Glenn is mainly known for his blues and funk stylings, which is only part time in evidence on Addiction. For the most part, this albums rocks but intelligently. Yeah, 7 out of the 10 studio cuts are good-to-great '90s hard rock and even some low rumbling metal. And "the voice" sounds as good as ever. Though I really love good grooves, the ballads - "Talk About It," "Blue Jade" and "I Don't Want to Live that Way Again" are just outstanding, well layered and overflowing with good ol' Hughes emotion. Overall, this album beats the pants off of three-quarters of music in the genre today.

4 out of 5 stars ADDICTION To The Voice Of Rock.......1998-10-08

Fourth release by former Deep Purple singer, Glenn Hughes, is one that displays the many dimentions of Glenn's powerful voice. Consider by many as "The God Of Voice", Hughes delivers and solid rock and roll performance that will simply blow you away! 'Addiction', features songs that talk about the painful troubles that those with chemical addictions go through. Songs like, "I Don't Want To Live This Way Again", a slow bluesy number that Hughes sings with such intensity and feel its scary. Another song that will grab your throat from the get go is the mid-tempo mover, "Cover Me". One thing is for sure, once you listen to, 'Addiction', there is no way you can help but be addicted to the powerful and soulful voice of Glenn Hughes.
