The New Musical Express thinks The Darkness should be destroyed, as the antithesis of everything the NME stands for. Of course I’d rather keep The Darkness, and let the NME be destroyed instead.
The Darkness play full-blooded rock anthems of the kind we haven’t heard from a new band in years, with songs titles like “Get Your Hands Off My Woman” and “Love on the Rocks with No Ice”, and gratuitously sexist cover (What’s wrong with being sexy, as Nigel Tufnel would say) Imagine a rawer version of Thin Lizzy crossed with the heavier end of Slade’s glam-rock, with a bit of Spinal Tap’s self-parody thrown in for good measure.
It’s not quite perfect; singer Justin Hawkins overdoes the falsetto vocals just a bit, and the guitar solos could be a a little bit widdlier, after all, cock-rock is supposed to have ejeculatory guitar solos! Still, at just 38 minutes, the album doesn’t doesn’t overstay it’s welcome, and certainly isn’t burdened with filler.
u suck monkey bolox if you like the darkness you haggard shits driving round in your ford fuck asses go suck your dads and listen to permission to land
RAR! Why does everyone gyp the darkness? The suck, but it don’t mean you have to take the piss out of them *slaps self* they’re fucking wankers, all of em, they have about *counts* ZERO good songs,and can’t sing for shit. They ain’t even sexy (says my gay mate). They have only tried to do what many other bands have done before, but dressed like Freddy Mercury from Queen! Assholes, Queen rule, they don’t! They shud give up singing, and if they want summit to do with music, they cud sell tickets for download, nass, reading etc!

hey..all u guys wankers there who say the darkness suck, u guys have no idea wat the hell ur talking about. the darkness r just diff and u guys are all lamers with no mind of ur own following trends set by all the other uninteresting individuals out there. and what’s wrong with trying to sound like Queen or thin lizzy? it’s their influences. i bet if any of u fools out there formed a band and u guys liked lets say linkin park, u would end up sounding like them as well. does that give me the right to slam u when-no, if-u ever make it famous? they rnt pretentious at all..in fact, they r the total ooposite. they tell the bleeding truth so all u bloody minions out there that seem to have brains replaced by flour, just let me say that look at things in this perspective-the darkness are famous and big and succesful and have all that they need..and u guys? well, just let me say that u swines should think before you talk and maybe, you won’t sound so pathetic with your insignificant insults, k? and to that guy in the band-im sorry it got personal, i truly am-but the darkness aren’t an upcoming band. they r already where u wanna be and thus, u have no right to judge them so zip it.
hey..anti-darkness arses..if u dun like the band, im actually really happy cos im glad the darkness dont attract dumb-arses. and one other thing it proves, u guys have absolutely no sense of humour.rock on the darkness and darklings.
The darkness?? What the hell is this shyt. I have more talent in one finger than these guys do. And to all u dumb asses that think they rockyou all suck too. And it is ok for evryone to have an opinion, so you all can just take a flyin leap. Or if you think your big enough come to AZ and we can settle this. HAHA. Rock on Anti-Darkness buds.

I was looking up some shit on the Darkness, and instead I landed on this site. Seriously, I thought English was manditory in schools, as of lately, but The Darkness bashers sure as fuck proved me wrong.
Call them what you want, but they are more talented than a lot of the fucking bands out there, and they are one of the only good commerical rock/metal bands around right now, and they do quite kick ass solos. It’s better than listening to fucking nu-metal all the time.
I find the main problem here with antis, is that they’re all probably 15-year-old dipshits, who can’t appreciate someone who’s doing something with their lives. I have, on the other hand, played in a few bands, and done everything a good little scenester should. I personally grew up listening to the kind of music they play and I can appreciate what they’re doing right now. So please, antis, bash me all you want to. I would just love to hear the unarticulated responces I’ll receive.
And by the way, The Darkness never did compare themselves to AC/DC, Queen, or any other band I saw mentioned while I scanned through your replies.
One last thing. Many antis feel obligated to remind us that this is their OPINIONS (no shit, fuckhead), and that pros should respect it. Yet, I don’t understand why they don’t practice what they preach.
You may feel that everyone’s opinions should be appreciated. But throughout the obvious illiteracy showed by this bunch, I sure as fuck don’t. Honestly, if you kids were in charge of the world, we still wouldn’t have invented the wheel.
they fucking suck balls
Ive just heard the Darkness have won best songwriters at some awards do.FOR FUCKS SAKE!!! Whats the world coming to!? Im just off to piss myself laughing!
hmm The Darkness sounds a lot better than most of the crap out there today ie. Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Korn, and other garbage.
i personnally have nothing against the band, and their not amazin, but swearin the hell out of each other just to make a point will get u nowhere… (but it does make u feel better
