The Darkness - Hot Cakes in the house

[gorch]

First song running. I damn like the singing and music.

Advantage of buying a CD, the credits state that Brian May, Pete Malendrone, and Ian Anderson have been engaged to some extend in the making.

2nd song just started ... so far it seems to be a style mix of the 1st and 2nd CD.

Tempting...

This thread ain't good for nuthin' unless we put some music in it:

Takin' the piss out of Radiohead, or being serious? Either way I like it:

I have not heard the rest of the album. But I'll check it out asap. I love their two earlier albums. The Darkness RAWKS.

Thanks for posting the new songs. I've been anxiously waiting for their new release.

Keep Me Hanging On: Its cool when a song instantly sounds great on the first listen.

Street Spirit: Sounds good. After a few more listens, probably get even better.

They write some of best hooks and catchy lyrics. And yes ...

The Darkness Rawks!

Some pics of the cover photo shoot. MMmmmm ... Hot Cakes

Alrighty Then.

I've listened to the whole CD now, a couple of times thru. I'm really impressed.

One Way Ticket (their 2nd release) had 50% great songs, and the rest kinda weak, IMO.

Permission To Land really didn't have a bad song on it. Subjective, I know.

Hot Cakes is right up there with Permission To Land. Some VERY catchy tunes. The song writing

is very strong. Great guitar tones.

Great music and guitar tones at the first listen, thanks for posting.

It's missing of the catchy ballads they had on PTL and OWTTHAB. I also like the acoustic tunes that come with the Digi Pack. 15 songs nice packaging and the badge.

Just found Lada Gaga in the credits. Quite a support for a reunion. Last song has Ian Anderson giving a blow job.

Awesome album. Love it! --I'm just a Queen fan after all.

They got Jimmy Page's Black Beauty in:

It's really growing on me.

[gorch]

Listen to it for quite a while. It doesn't top the first album, missing some versatility for my taste. High level critics all in all.

[lincsman]

Got CD yesterday it's a great comeback album,I like it

[Hackubus]

I find it hard to resist the urge to crank the shit outta Street Spirit when I'm driving thru town. Very Metal. \m/

[tommy p]

just ordered the version with bonus tracks yesterday. anxiously awaiting arrival. big fan.

[SteveB]

just downloaded the album. I'm liking this a lot.

The Darkness has been opening for Gaga during the european leg of her tour. I hope they'll do in in the US too.

Justin has been having fun photobombing Gaga fan pics.

Platzer has been having fun photobombing Gaga fan pics.

Oh! Gaga is wearing a Megadeth T-shirt! Man, I would really love to hang out with her!

apparently hanging out with her involves breaking Heineken bottles in the bathtub while smoking weed and making weird little videos.
