Dose Makes The Poison

by Rosetta Stone

supported by

Mori_bnd Been listening to tracks 4 through 11 repeatedly. Derivative of Sisters of Mercy, but it works in 2025/26 for me. Favorite track: Ill Informed.

darkohm Amazing! An incredible collection of songs showcasing Porl's songwritting & sound mastery - SUPERB!! My favourite album of the year by a million miles & definitely a contender for the Best Album of 2025🎸🎹🏆🎉

So many top tunes to choose from - my favourite song is the fabulous, 'Unfriended' - Notable highlights R the Miserylab overtone song that is 'Dive Down Spiral' - other RS songs that deserve merit - 'Connect the Dots', 'Kick the Can', 'On Which We Die', 'Another Exit Wave' - 10/10 😎👍 Favorite track: Unfriended.

Simon Black Catz Any one else got a bad vinyl pressing copy of Dose Makes the poison ? my copy jumps 3 times on track 4 Scars sound drops out half way through this track.( Never got a refund left with faulty vinyl don't buy from cleopatra records)

nicabreeze I feel so odd about this album. No adornment is what I detest in daily life but value in good poetry. Just give me the punch-bottom line. And Rosetta Stone delivers. “Tough love is never love” — a therapeutic statement for a battered kid. “Someone who hasn’t let me down yet; someone only out for what they can get” — a sober warning for a starry-eyed empath. The album doesn’t seem the poison of choice for a gal who shuns austerity. But here we are… 🤷‍♀️💡🖤 Favorite track: Scars.

Christian Mumford great darkwave beat rhythm bass/guitar Favorite track: Kick The Can.

CL (ænorex) My favorite RS album since the 90’s. What an incredible record. Every single song is a new classic, and that is no exaggeration. I really cannot pick a favorite. Porl has outdone himself and raised the bar so impossibly high that I kind of feel bad for other bands. The guy never misses and we are just lucky that he chooses to keep making music. Favorite track: Unfriended.

I love this one! The message means a lot to me since I lost my uncle a few years back and it embodies exactly how I felt and still feel at times. Not to mention the bass in the beginning gives me the good kind of chills, hell yeah! GothicTonic

Sexy with a major "S". Gothic. Hipster. Cat-like, but catty as well. I love the interplay between the male-male vocalist and the fe-male singer: feels like heaven und earth. If you read/use the I Ching, you know what I mean. But seriously, this feels like a really sleek fashion show gone terribly awry: think of a Hugo Boss exhibition suddenly morphing into the 80s classic nuclear porn "Threads". I can't write any more. felipe_serra
