Addicted Romantic is the debut studio album by Australian indie rock band Faker.

[2] The album was recorded by Faker with Lindsay Gravina, of Magic Dirt fame, at Melbourne's Birdland Studios.

[4] The Age's Andrew Murfett said the album was influenced by Joy Division, The Cure, The Smiths, and Echo & the Bunnymen,[5] while Guy Blackman drew comparisons to Franz Ferdinand and Bloc Party.

[7] The Courier Mail said it featured "love-struck schoolboy lyrics and passion",[8] and The Advertiser called it the best Australian album of 2005, praising "urgent vocals and angular guitars".

[9] Guy Blackman of The Age called the Hudson's vocals "unashamedly accented" but said it was "almost refreshing to hear an Australian sing in a thick British brogue rather than the usual faux-American twang".
