''Addicted'' is the twelfth album by Music/DevinTownsend, released November 17, 2009, nearly six months after his previous album, ''Music/{{Ki}}''. It is the second installment of his Devin Townsend Project album series. Musically, it is one of the heavier albums in the series, yet simultaneously one of the most upbeat. It is his first collaboration with Anneke van Giersbergen, former lead singer of Music/TheGathering, who appears on the majority of the songs.

# "Addicted!" (5:37)
# "Universe in a Ball!" (4:09)

* BookEnds: The lyrics in the intro to the title track, before the first proper verse, reference the verses of "Awake!!".
* EpicInstrumentalOpener: The title track takes a little over a minute for the first vocals to appear.
* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Every track title ends with an exclamation point!
* LighterAndSofter: Zig-zagged. This is one of the heavier albums in the Devin Townsend Project album series, featuring distorted guitars more prominently than on ''Music/{{Ki}}", but also the poppiest of the first four.
* LyricalDissonance: The title track is as musically upbeat as most of the other songs, yet it's about Devin's battle with his pornography addiction.
* MinimalisticCoverArt: Three crayons, two of which are broken, on a plain white background with a purple smear on the side.
* PocketDimension: "Universe in a Ball!"
--> "There's a universe in us all"
