Over here in good old Blighty, all the music critics seem to be raving about The Darkness. Some claim it's part of a rock revolution back over here.

 

If you haven't heard of them, The Darkness play an 80's style rock...think AC/DC. They have Kerrang awards, and are tipped for a Mercury Music Prize.

 

 

But are they well known over in America yet? And are they any good in your opinion. I was brought up with the old rock like Queen, AC/DC and The Rolling Stones by my dad, so I like them. But then again, they started up in the same county I live in, so I'm a little bias.

I hadn't heard of them, but a quick check at amazon.com reveals that they currently

have the 383rd best selling cd on there, which is pretty good for something that is

not on the radio or mtv. Their album came out here in the usa on September 16, 2003.

Allmusic.com gives their album 4 stars. I'll go see if I can download some.

 

This cover looks like something from the 70s:

That's a horrible album cover. Is that a naked chick guiding a spaceship to land?

 

Yes, yes it is.

 

I've never heard them and am not forming an opinion until I hear something, but that cover is dumb.

I'm going to go out on a limb and call ^that an understatement.

If it wasn't for the awful terrible vocals they could be good.

 

It's like listening to a tone deaf power metal singer. I hate all high pitched screeching vocals, even those considered to be good.

My friends are into them big. One of them even got the singers plectrum at the gig they did here a few weeks ago. Not my cup of tea though.

He's actually a good singer? Wow...well then it's too bad he decided to sound like shit on the CD.

Turned on the radio earlier and immediately heard "BWAALALAAAAA... GUITARRR!"

and it was one of their songs. I must say it was good to hear a guitar solo on

"alternative" radio.
