The Darkness - Permission To Land

The English really liked this album. This band was practically playing stadiums before we even heard of them over here. From the dumb cover the throw back outfits the aping of every over the top band you could think of...there was nothing original about this band...but maybe that's why they were good.

Everything that was good about Queen and Meat Loaf rolled up with Van Halen rhythm tone. Brown sound with more bombast than David Lee Roth on the 4th of July.

They really should have stuck around longer. Too many drugs hidden in their cat suits. Justin Hawkins was last writing songs for Mr. Loaf Aday and there were rumors the brothers were back together after Hot Leg and Stone Gods might not have done what they wanted.

Please guys....you were so much fun. Come back. I miss you.
