"Im beginning to like The Darkness."

The songs are so damn catchy.

"Growing on me" is really growing on me.

Ironically.

i really like the darkness...took a while for me to get into them (esp cos of his high squealy voice) but the album really rox.
awesome guitar rhythms, beats, riffs and loadsa humour to boot.

I'm beginning to like them too.

*worried*

embrace the darkness :P

You fiends.
You've made me "'*buy*'" Permission To Land, and it's surprisingly good.
I feel all dirty.
I hope your all happy.

I am happy. Every CD the Darkness sells is a poke in the eye to people like 50 Cent and Ludicrous, to Gareth Gates (it's a mullet, look at it) and Will Young, to Liberty X etc.

The worst comment I've read about them so far in a newspaper is that they're the "new British rock hopefuls". What? A joke band that plays hair-metal covers from the 80s are expected to be our new rock saviours? I think they should be shot before anyone else as gullible takes in their act.

Why monkey_man, you have changed haven't you?
I remember you defending these spandex love-truncheons....

They are not a poke in the eye to Gareth Gates. They *are* Gareth Gates, just with 80s wigs on.
The Darkness surge to the top of the charts rehashing Saxon songs and meanwhile thousands of decent rock bands struggle to get noticed.

*shrugs*

15 mins almost up...enjoy your NME cover The Darkness, you'll be back to Butlins shows soon enough

PLease don't class 50 Cent and Ludacris in the same categories as Will Young and Liberty X, you ignorant twonk.

I have to admit that the "Growing on Me" tune was quite catchy. Before that they had the pretty bad "Get Your Hands Off Of My Woman", so the third single was the decider:

They stink.

"I Believe In A Thing Called Love". Utter rubbish, permy stadium cok-rock, tripe. That bit with the stamping and clapping hands - hope Snuggly enjoys doing that next Tuesday at the MTV2 bash when they play ;)

Their album was featured in The Month with the Sunday Times, despite it being out for ages. There are samples of about six tracks, most I'd heard before, but one of the ones I hadn't was absolute garbage.

Get Your Hands Off My Woman I still believe was inspired.
