Oh, and Snuggly you're missing a hyphon from that link. Special Music From Special Children indeed.

Goatboy, it's ok, you can come out. We know you secretly want to parade around with a perm and tight trousers playing air guitar. You're just in denial.

Anyway, I heard the two songs that were constantly played on the radio and thought they sounded fun. Listened to the album and was disappointed that the rest of the songs were a bit mediocre, but certainly not bad in comparison to many of the other bands/singers out there. Perhaps you prefer Gareth Gates though? ;-)

The Darkness are a laugh. Music is getting too boring these days. They put some of the fun back.

It is beyond genius...just in the wrong direction.

I don't mind The Darkness.

Obviously they're not going to be in it for the long haul, and it does sound like something from years ago, but at least it's a little bit different to all of the pop nonsence that still hasn't gone away, and it's a damn sight more fun than Coldplay, Radiohead or Starsailor.

That said I've only heard a couple of their songs.

Mind you, they did a cracking interview on Look East. Or Anglia News.

Kerrang said their album was 'beyond genius'.

I laughed.

Funnily enough I always said that song was about some kind of disease. "Growing on me/can't get you off my hair".

I liked their first song. Their second song was alright, and was actually growing on me until the overplaying that MTV seems to have cornered the market in ruined it.
