The Darkness: A guilty pleasure...

Picked up this much hyped Brit metal band...and to my surprise...most of the lp is full kickass, cockrockin' tunes...comparisons to Queen have been highly overexaggerated...other than the singers high voice...this is classic boogie rock ala Ac/dc,Slade,Stones,etc...the record is not perfect...the ballads are pretty lame...but the first 7 songs are pretty cool...play very loud...production is slick in an 80s kind of way...
