Haven't listened to them in months, but they're still on my iPod. And i can still remember most of the album from memory.

Jokes are only funny if they're serious. -- Tom (freakytrigge...), August 7th, 2003.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No, jokes are only funny if they're vaguely original.Contrary to what The Lex says, I think this joke was funny in the first place -- Stewart Osborne
Two good points that are not, contrary to Stewart's belief, mutually opposed.
Stewart goes on to nominate Spinal Tap, but I think Marc Bolan or Slade would be a good starting point. 'I drive a Rolls Royce / Cos it's good for my voice'.
I think there's something very arch about The Darkness - they write good songs and have a great sense of the comically deadpan. They are neither serious enough, nor original enough to be really funny.

Turbonegro have the better humour and choruses in their (superior) songs.This is dreadful, one of the worst things I've ever heard. Only a complete tasteless sad bastard could like this.

xxp it's like Right Said Fred's 'I'm Too Sexy', in that there are very specific situations where it'll work and not sound like crap, but even then it's so specific that it won't work every time.

Wow, I pulled out some of Permission to Land after years. I feel like it might sound even better now! Really good power pop. I was inspired after hearing someone nail "I Believe..." at karaoke last night and thinking about how tricky it actually is.

Album four should be out in early 2015. They're also going to have a new drummer this time around.

Permission is awesome. Their subsequent output not so much.

I really like the Hot Leg album. I was hoping for another one from them more than I was a Darkness reunion.

Love On The Rocks With No Ice is mammoth. They were so great in those early days, and such a treat to interview. They fucked it up so badly with the second album.

I only remember '1984' from the Hot Leg record. Oh, and maybe 'Cocktail.'
