The Darkness surely their not serious, right? I don't know whether to laugh or cry. This is all so very Spinal Tap.
And yet somehow i like it... Thoughts on this band...? | |

I bought their album last week and I ***HAAATE*** it. If I wanted to hear Jack White sing like Tenacious D, I'd buy an Electric Six album. Craparoonie! | |

The singer from that band gave my housemate genital warts. My flatmate went out with a girl who'd caught them from her ex.
The unfortunate bit, is my housemate heard the Darkness, bought their album, loved it, bought a T-Shirt and then found out that the singer was the guy who'd given his ex genital warts. I think the joke's wearing thin here in England. "You know, you're the classic example of the inverse ratio between the size of the mouth and the size of the brain" | |

The lead singer has such a weak voice - I mean, he might have great pipes for some other genre, but trying to do glam hair metal he sounds like someone trying really hard to win 1st place at karaoke night. | |

Well, when he was at College in my town a couple of years ago, he was apparently into easy listening and dressed up like Jarvis Cocker. Draw your own conclusions.

Waaaitaminnit...this isn't the new group Jarvis was alluding to when he showed up all gothified about a year or so ago, is it? Cuz if this noodnik singing for The Darkness is La Jarvis, the poor boy must have suffered some severe head trauma or been lobotomized or some shit... | |

It sounds like a joke, but I fear it's not. "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "

It's not a joke in that they want to make serious money. Beyond that it just feels disingenuous as hell. Who needs it? I'd rather listen to Judas Priest and have the real thing than to listen to a tarted-up college-boy homage. | |

They are a real good band, and are getting mostly good reviews from critics, who compare them to Spinal Tap, but as a serious band. If you listen, their riffs are pretty damn good.
You all are just mad because Prince hasn't written a good rock song in years. All you others say Hell Yea!!  | |
