Finally something interesting in music again... this tune "I Believe In A Thing Called Love" is one of the best tracks I've heard since 1988 and the video is fun and sarcastic. Really great vocal range and energy, check it out. |

poodle-haired queen-influenced eighties guitar rock |

and for those who think it is ironic or funny or whatever (along with mullets, trucker caps, and a whole shitloada other stuff, that's alllll associated with this crap), there's nothing funny or ironic about this crappy music. |

I f*kin hate The Darkness! I thought their first video was kind of funny the first time I saw it - But it's the kind of music that REALLY pisses you off when you've seen/heard it a few times... Then their second single was just the same - Another novelty piece of crap. It's not funny atall - It's basically a Spinal Tap rip-off - Now Spinal Tap was briliant! Absolute genius! But it's been done now, and it's been done much better. I'd give The Darkness another few months before the HMV chart whores realise how pointless and shallow they are and they fade into obscurity like most of todays' chart music. |

No offense intended to anyone who likes them! Maybe it appeals to the American sense of humour in some way... But for us Brits it's just another reason not to watch MTV or turn the radio on. |

Agreed on all points And for fuck's sake people, use the search engine. |

the single is alright, but annoys me a little... I'm all for old styles being given a new twist, or being brought back or something... especially cheesy styles like this, but I don't really take to the song much... it's ok, but nothing special in my opinion... |

Meh... |

Shut up you vomit-burps. The Darkness are postmodern genius. |

What's pissing me off is everyone I know loves them. I mean, LOVES them. The only person who doesn't is my mate in work, but then he listens to Ibiza mixes so wtf |

I just think it's so ridiculous... mainly the video. I hadn't watched TV in over a year and I came back to my parents house last week to turn VH-1 on and I saw the video thinking, WTF?! Am I back in 1988? It was so funny. Especially the guy in the band with the muton chops that comes out from behind the door trying to be kool and robotic like. This band will never get big in the US, so it was even funnier to see them on TV. They just look like they are having fun, and I don't see anything wrong with that. And that guys vocal range kicks. |

I listened to their album yesterday and I must admit I thought it was pretty abysmal. Some kinds of music were meant to stay in the 80s. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah - The thing with The Darkness is they're a one hit novelty - It's kind of funny and amusing at first, reminds you of Spinal Tap, but gets old very quickly... Now they can't seriously expect to forge an entire musical career out of a cheap 2 minute laugh... |
||||||||

well put, that's the point i've been trrying to make to a few people. ok it's fun, kinda catchy, but arre you telling me that this is what they arre going to dedicate the next 20 yearrs of theirr life to? i don't think so, this will be shorrt lived. |

John Peel is playing a remix of them now, dunno who's done it Plaid finished yet? I forgot all aboot it |

it a fun band... it's not something you nerds would want to listen on your headphones analyzing every little sound. they're cool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haha, they're not a fun band, they're just a weak old joke that got boring a long time ago, trying to be a band. They're the kind of band that make me want to break things and hurt animals - They piss me off even more than that watered down white-marketed pseudo hiphop bullshit that's on MTV Base these days - And that does make me angry! |

i absolutely hated this... it's not good. it's not funny. it's not nearly as awesome as i bet they think it is. |

no, it just sucks... pressumptuous to think that cuz no one likes that gay iron maiden/rush crap that we're somehow shutting our minds to somethign witty. it's not witty, or good. end of story. *bangs gavel* |

I find his voice pretty annoying... he might have some range, but it's like nail;s on a chaulk board... even more so then CEline Dions voice... also, I hate the stupid title A Little Thing Called Love or whatever it is... that gets on my nerves... it's alright, but I'd never buy their cd... and yes, I don't see them lasting very long... |

its original, its clever, its filled a gap in the market, its very english, but theyre from lowestoft in suffolk so all their parents are related to each other and they can f**k right off, f**king ipsw*ch inbred b*stard sc*mb*gs |

But isn't music meant to be fun? Isn't that what they're doing? I wouldn't go so far as to say I love them but I enjoy them. I'd heard of them before I liked them but never heard their music. I was at the Reading Festival. I had no idea who was on stage but at first I thought Wankers! They were strutting around like cocks. Then they started to perform and it was fun. Simple fun. So their songs aren't complex or intelligent but who cares really. IT's not stuff that people will be looking back on in years to come but does that matter? Right now, music is in a bad state with so much packaged shite being churned out. It's become business first and entertainment second. All these shitty boy bands and their like take themselves so seriously and think they're the greatest thing to happen to music. That attitude sucks and it's killing music. People get into it for fame and fortune rather than a real love for music. Fuck that! At least The Darkness are going about it the right way. Doing the pub circuits for years before getting signed. Name other current people at the top end of the charts who didn't get signed because they took part in some stupid TV program or an audition for bands or knew someone influential. |

The_Funkmaster____ I find his voice pretty annoying... he might have some range, but it's like nail;s on a chaulk board... even more so then CEline Dions voice... One of the main reasons I like the band so much is the lead singers voice. It's so unique that either you love it or hate it, and I sort of like how most people will hate it. I think it's so fun and different from most of the vocal stylings I've heard. It's just so crazy and funny to hear a grown man singing higher than Mariah Carey. Just when you think he won't get higher he does, and it sounds good, that's the scary part. Rock on. |

I got nothing against fun music - Spinal Tap was awesome (and everything the Darkness are trying to be), MC Pitman is totally stupid, but lots of IDM folk dig him cos he's genuinely funny... The Darkness could've been much better IMO - Spinal Tap managed to pull the whole thing off so believably and with so much more class and irony - The Darkness are very poor by comparrison - What got me is that their second video/single had no new ideas atall - Also, in the UK they used to play those tunes all day solid on MTV and it's the kind of music that really pisses you off after a while. I thought they did the same with The Strokes - They find something mildly interesting/different, then decide to play it 24 hours a day until it really gets on your nerves. |

You can't beat the Spinal Tap. Sheer Rock Gods and I love them. I don't have MTV and I don't listen to the radio so that's probably why I'm not sick of them yet. Maybe my time will come.... :) |

i expect no other response from people who like their "simple fun" |

and that's the second person who doesn't know how to use the word "pretentious" right. |

that's rather a pretentious thing to say |
