I thought that rock had died long ago, but thanks to The Darkness, it's back and better than ever. These guys truly know how to rock, and what's better, they're awesome musicians.

It's like like they said,"forget the sadness, forget the rage, forget the computer driven beats, just play God Damn it." It's not political, and it's not gonna piss people off (except maybe some swearing).

Most people like them, but there is still a large backlash of people who dislike them for their image, Justin Hawkin's voice, and just their 80's hair-metal-band-ness in general.
