First Track, we have all heard...
Knockers - Kind of a straight ahead rocker. Lots of slide guitar, Great Harmonies leading up to the chorus. Chorus takes the over the top high stuff to a new level...Single written all over it....
Is It Just Me? - Starts off a steady rocker. Turns Def-Leppard meets Tiny Tim for the Chorus. A dead Brian-May esque solo in this one. Again, great. On second listen I like it even more. The best song Def Leppard never did.
Dinner Lady Arms - LOVE IT!!! Great beginning, but I feel that the insane harmonies in the chorus may well kill any single release. Very 80's Def Leppard-ish meets The Cure. The second best song Def Leppard never did.
Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time - LOVE IT!! The strings take this one from the top. Think Love Is only a Feeling, only better. Killer Harmonies!!!

That's nice.
I must tell you I'm pissed off at these guys now... I've been using horns and strings in my music since I was 17... bastards!

I bought their first album so I shall indeed check out their new one.
I can see some very small similarities between The Darkness and Queen in the track Friday Night but other than that, no. I'd actually like the idea of a collaboration between Queen+ and Justin. Maybe not a tour, but a few decent covers and maybe some original work.

I didn't like anything on the first album, but I have enjoyed their new single a good bit. I may end up buying it if there are other songs on it that I like.
Hazel Eyes - Begins like a 70's Steve Miller Band out-take. Turns into a great song, with a Thin Lizzy meets the National Lampoon Vacation theme song vibe. Cool.Would make a great single.
Bald - A Metallica Black Album out-take? Mashed with AC/DC? Interesting to say the least.
Girlfriend - Another T-Rex straight ahead rocker. Very 80's Great White/Cars/ELO sound. You can tell that RTB produced this whole album.
English Country Garden - Is ELO still together? Good grief. Jeff Lynne would be proud of this one. Multiple layered vocals, upon layered vocals. Brian May himself could not have done a better solo!!!
Blind Man - More Strings. The ballad. Very Jeff Lynne/ELO ish harmonies. Are we sure that Lynne didn't have a hand in parts of this record??

Ok I'm sure you like the album but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Meh. I like being proven wrong! :D I'll be getting it soon enough, I'll get back to you.
I just can't believe Roy Thomas Baker is still alive. In Magic Years, he looked like a walrus in a bad silk shirt. Did he have an extra couple of hearts sewn into his chest to keep him alive and telling his god-awful "galileos" story year after year?

PMSL!! He's a right old darling isn't he? I have to admit, he looks better these days, than he did back in the mid-80s.

I like it. It's not Queen, The Darkness lack their finesse, but at least it's much more entertaining than a lot of other crap music these days. After listening it twice my favorites are "Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time", "Hazel Eyes", "English Country Garden" and "Blind Man".
Oh, but at 35 minutes, it's much too short!!!
