The Darkness really was one of the greatest bands ever. God damn...
I think... maybe... I might... I hope... kinda... that I'll get back to somewhat "regular" updates in a couple of weeks after I complete the seemingly unending chore of ripping all of my "truly necessary" CD's. It's just taking forever... yeah.

A-FUCKING-MEN.
I was just listening to both records the other day. “Lady Dinner Arms” and “Friday Night” are two of the best songs EVER.

sorry, i will whole heartedly have to disagree here, bro…..

They have about 4 solid songs between both albums. They were more of great concept on paper than in reality.

Man, I’d say they have about four “so-so” songs between both albums! The rest are fuckin’ GOLD!

I’m going to have to disagree on The Darkness issue.
I have also been ripping my necessary CD’s, it really is a tedious chore.

Dudes, try ripping your essential CDs when you don’t even have an internet connection at home (at work at the moment). I get to type in all the song titles by hand. Awesome.

Andrew, I think you meant Only Living Witness, but accidently typed The Darkness (both here and on youtube).

I’m missing reviews on so many new records that have come out or will come out… The Red Chord, Nile, Destroyer Destroyer, Engineer, Miscreants, Arsonists Get All the Girls… we need you back!

Pim, no way, dude. I meant The Darkness, I love The Darkness, and I’ve been listening to The Darkness for the past hour straight, ha, ha…
Andrew, to be totally honest with you, not one of those records was on deck before I took a break! Sorry!

I love The Darkness! My dad loves The Darkness! How can anyone not love The Darkness? I need a one way ticket to hell… AND BACK! Yeah, baby!

Dude…another zero irony, 100%, where-do-I-sign endorsement of The Darkness. The thickness of Thin Lizzy, the songs of Cheap Trick, and the FUCK YEAH of a great band. I get why people want to deride them, but I fully back them. Great shit. Both records, solid start to finish.

Just take a rest Andrew, you’re talking nonsense :)

Did they break up? whats with the “was a great band”“???

The vocalist/guitarist quit when he left rehab. The rest of the dudes are gonna continue under a different name, but… I’m just not sure it’ll be as good. Perhaps we’ll see… one day…

dude. am i alone here, or is MUSIC FROM THE ELDER by KISS actually a fucking MASTERPIECE. i have ALWAYS loved this album since i bought it in 1981. so im biased by 20 plus years of experience. but it still fucking rules today. THE OATH and UNDER THE ROSE are devastating, and the vocal harmonies are awesome. one day people will fucking realize this.
8.3.2007 | By PAUL STANLEY HAS FUCKING THROAT
“Music from the Elder” is fantastic.

Bah, cheesy! `The thickness of Thin Lizzy’??? No way, they sound like cheesy shit in my ears…
