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.

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