Full review

In The Darkness we finally have a band worthy of the title 'Rockstar'. Their overblown theatrics, classic look and old-skool feel brings back a flood of memories...listening to Deep Puprle, Cream and stealing cigarettes.
This album is definetely the best of the year if not since Nirvana's Nevermind. Although radio overplay of 'I believe in a thing called love' has now reached saturation levels it is still a brilliant song and Justin Hawkins almost uncomfortably pitched voice hits all the right notes.
My personal favourite is 'Get your hands offa my woman'.
Justin Hawkins recent radio comments suggesting he might buy 'southwold' also smacks of Spinal Tap, which makes it all the much better. Finally we have a singer with the daring to bring back jumpsuits and a guitarist whom places his trust in the mighty handlebar moustache.
We can only hope that The Darkness are not a flash in the pan and many more instantly classic albums follow. Already Robbie Williams is quaking in his boots...There'sa real rockstar around.
