The Darkness

[badapple81]

I think I heard Jarmo ask to be copied in on any Darkness updates 

[POPmetal]

You can hear One Way Ticket To Hell ... And Back now on myspace

yeah   a typical Darkness track, hope the rest is better then that!!

i was expectin' a Black Shuck

[POPmetal]

YEah, they say

?One Way Ticket To Hell? And Back? is a big f**k-off rock album about faith lost and restored, and about love lost and found. The Darkness really didn?t have any choice but to make a record this good. The stakes were too high and the sheer, superhuman feat of pulling it back from the edge (an effort that would most likely kill any lesser band stone-dead) has done nothing but steel their resolve and drive them to make what had to be - and is - the finest rock album of the past twenty years?their debut aside, of course.

but this song is nothing new really

[mrlee]

That single will get somewhere because they repeate the chorus alot, gets in peoples heads, they like, they buy, darkness get big again. Clever plan, i find it a cheesy rock song, but enjoyable.

[Evolution]

Its catchy, still, nothing new

[Izzy]

The Darkness are all style and no substance - i bought the album, but haven't listened to i for a year, its so superficial i haven't felt the need to come back to it when their are more engaging albums out there

I suppose it has no depth really

[im rickjames bitch]

any1 like them. i luv them. i didnt expect a new band to be so good. hopefully some other rock bands will try and be like them. there like a cross between ACDC and queen or something. are there any hair metal bands that are similar to the darkness?

[Izzy]

U could have used one of the other 6 Darkness threads....

The Darkness are good at first but there is no depth, so i never found them particularily engaging.

For a band preaching a message that r'n'r should be a laugh there is rather a lot of swearing....seems rather bizarre after a while, and as Eminem has shown us, too much swearing shows a limited vocabulary, to say the least....

....Is released on Monday!

I can tell you all that its awesome, mind you, i said that about the last album and the sales of that speak for themselves.

Go buy it, you wont regret it.

I can tell you all that its awesome

Has it leaked already?

I liked them at first, saw them at Leeds in 2003 when they were middle of the bill and i thought they were great....

....but not long after i got bored of the album real quick and they just seemed to be everywhere and i think they were overexposed, least for my liking, shoving a band down my throat like they were generally puts me off...

...but enough with that if you have heard it then how does it compare to the debut o'stoner dude...

The first listen, i didnt like it (probably because i have been dousing myself in Pantera for about 2 months), the second listen, it grew, the third it grew again and i think im on my tenth repeat listen since my friend found it! 

Its fucking awesome.

I will be purchasing it on Monday with any accompanying bits and bobs i can get my hands on, dvd's etc.

I also purchased my tickets to see them at The Nottingham Arena in Feb, 4 days before they went onto General release.
Well, i say i purchased, thats a little lie, Jarmos credit card did!

I'll give it a download then see what i think, though i'm sure you were in a Nickelback thread a while back so i'm still wary of your WIDE taste

You managed to sneak out, get your hands on his credit card and wasted it on The Darkness, i hope that's not all you bought with it....

Yeah, i was going through an emotional period after i split with my missus, i hate the track now, it seems i came to my senses!

My bastard dealer doesnt accept cards yet! 
So i just raided Jarmo's Piggy Bank instead, there was enough for a a tonne in there, he obviously hasnt been paying his moderators again!

[R4tfink]

Who's A Darkling? I am!

[Izzy]

Haven't played their last album since i got it - its so superficial i don't really take anything from it.

[Jonathan]

Just one thing.. The Darkness are NOT rock music.

[R4tfink]

Nope they are a rock and roll opera! 

Anything worthwhile to contribute?

[Jonathan]

That they are a bad pop band.. And they think that they are a rock band.

Excellent stuff!

Go buy the album.
