THE DARKNESS - READER COMMENTS

PERMISSION TO LAND (2003)

Chris Pettman - Seriously, you give bon jovi a 7 but the darkness gets a 4?  Did u even hear black shuck?  Dude it should get a 6 just for having the balls to have a song called black shuck.  And did we mention keep your hands off my woman?

Ian's Music Reviews - Fair enough, dude, but I'm not sure if "balls" is the right word. I really tried to like The Darkness. I truly wanted to like them. But the joke wears pretty thin when stretched across the entire CD. Hawkin's falsetto is intolerable at times. I don't like Keep Your Hands Off My Woman. Black Shuck has great lyrics but is musically slight.
    I'm surprised it took this long for someone to point out the fact that I gave Bon Jovi a 7, but I stand by the rating. By all rights I should be embarrassed, but somehow I feel relieved, liberated even. I am a closet Bon Jovi fan.
