It seems I've finally found my cohort!! I took the dumb test last year after admittedly half-assed (because I was still in school) preparation. However, I just retook it a few days ago after studying for weeks and did almost exactly the same; my goal was to break 160. NOPE. Everything on test day was like 3 times harder and more unfamiliar than anything I'd done to prepare, and thus I'm stuck with almost the same scores as before. My SAT experience was so similar and I hate that those of us with high GPAs but terrible standardized testing skills just have to suffer the consequences.

Should I address my low GRE score in my statement of purpose?

I'm kind of in the same boat - I actually just retook the GRE to try and do better than I did last year and I ended up in nearly the same exact range as last year (still waiting on AWA). I was panicking that scores in the 150s wouldn't get me in anywhere I'm looking but this is reassuring. Time to knock out that SoP I guess...
