The Darkness

lulz

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.

It's Laffin' Nick Cave and the not-bad seeds!

Least clamored for reunion ever?

i'm pretty excited for it

Good news.. although is this a reunion or ending a hiatus?

or even 'closure', seeing as how Frankie is back

"Love on the Rocks" is their "Paradise City"

I was at a wedding a few months ago and they played "Thing Called Love" and it went over surprisingly well.

even a stopped clock etc

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.

Did the previous one explode?

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.'

Hot Cakes might be the best Darkness album unfortunately no one has ever heard it.

I kinda thought the 2nd album was pretty dope. Try "Is It Just Me," "Dinner Lady Arms," "Girlfriend," "English Country Garden" and the title track. Honestly I think the 1st album is equally spotty, but the highlights are kinda incredible.

So many great memories just thinking about that first Darkness record.

They were very entertaining live around the time of that first album!

One Way Ticket to Hell...And Back is a great album, but its nowhere near as immediate as the first Darkness album. It didn't help that the first single was garbage too.

Yeah, I listened to Hot Cakes and really liked it.

It didn't help that the first single was garbage too.

I wouldn't call it garbage, but it was a bad choice for a lead single.

i kind of love how their new single rips off 'sex type thing'

at least in terms of riff

OH THE STATE OF ELATION THAT THIS UNISON OF HEARTS HAS ACHIVEVED

“Growing on Me” is still in my head 15 years later or whatever
The best song about crabs ever written

"Christmas Time" is one of the all-time great Christmas records, snow fucks given

it works

the lost b-side “out of my hands” is ace

I think 'Christmas Time' is the best Darkness song full stop!
