Yes it has constant airplay hear and IMO is a load of crap.It's just a pastiche of the 70's era done with tongue firmly in cheek but still crap all the same.The singer has a really high range in his voice so all the records begin to sound samey,did i mention i thought they were crap?

IamAlejo · 02-22-2004, 06:42 PM

lol, that video is funny.

jibber · 02-22-2004, 08:14 PM

ya, the video is messed up. and i have to say, even if you hate them, you gotta give the guy credit for hitting those notes, it's just insane

I love the Darkness!

I have permission to land...its a good CD.

I think they're good, but they're just doing the glam-rock thing from the 70's again. I do like them though. The lead singer is really... how do I put this lightly... ugly. And he insists on wearing cat-suits!! Oh well, I'd say overall they are a pretty good band.

If you watch the video it doesn't look like he is actually going that high...

They are trying to bring back 80's hair rock and its not working...

I hate them, the lead singer is stupid, he sounds like he's trying to sing like Freddie Mercury. And what's with the outfits, they look so *** and the lead singer needs to cut his hair. They suck.

I don't like them, but you're right, the video is pretty damn funny. I put them as the black sheep of the whole Jet/Strokes crowd.
