When is the next album due to be released?

All the critics will be ready to pick the bones surely!

And I just bought Permission To Land on vinyl

[scottST]

theyr working on it now. Justin has said in many interviews the new material is fucking awesome....if its anythin like the material they put on as B-sides, which is also their newer material, then i believe them.

i can see it being a bloody good album, to be honest. i think theyv got what it takes. just as long as they keep their feet on the ground and not be like Weezer or someone who blows their head so far up their own ass that their second album is one that only they themselves would listen to.

there wont be songs like I Believe or Get Your Hands off my woman, i think the songwriting is maturing/has been maturing all the time since Permission to land was released, and this will be a nice grown up proper rock record.


dont bring up the christmas song, its hard to write a christmas song without sounding gay.

Hopefully never... easily the worst band of last year. When we saw them supporting Def Leppard they were out of tune, crap and I've never disliked a support slot so much before. I find them annoying, Justin comes across like a twat, and certainly seemed that way when we met them, he just seemed like an arrogant fuckwit and I had to stop one of the guys who was with us from smacking him one as he was being so up himself and pissing off the people chatting there. I really hope that they quit whilst they're ahead because the joke'll have grown thin by the time for a next album !!

Cheers

Well said....
The bottom of the barrel has been scraped, surely no more.... although the public may wake up to the joke that's being played. The UK music industry is at an all time low if those clowns are lauded.

I enjoy the Darkness, good rock and roll music!

Id have to disagree..

i really dont know what to think about the darkness.

the album is great fun to listen to but lets face it, j hawkins seems to be a total knob. i dont know him personally but the way he comes accross in interviews doesnt help me like him any more.

i got into the darkness quite early on before they got big. i was at their last gig at king tuts but had their ep a few months before it was released on a cdr (i used to live with a relative of the bassist).i bought the ep when it was released off the website and i just sold it (signed) on ebay for £135 because i think the bubble is going to burst very soon.

i dont think they are a joke band but their act is wearing quite thin. its obvious that they're having fun which is great and they are getting people into queen and ac/dc which is definietly a positive.

i think it was an absolute scandal that they walked away with best british rock at the brits. say what you want about stereophonics but i think they're fucking ace and the new album is on a par with their first (which was untouchable in the brit-pop indie period of the 90's). feeder have had two amazing albums (polythene and yesterday went too soon) and two commercialy successful and very strong albums (echo park and comfort). muse have always been super good (even though showbiz attracted somne unfair radiohead comparisons) but for the darkness to win against these bands was a total joke.

don't quite know what the purpose of that rant was but it feels good to get it off my chest.

I personally felt that Muse should have got the best rock act.. Phonics, well i used to be a fan, but im afriad i lost interest when i saw themup here at their last show... they werent the classic phonics... But as you say they should not have won that award when they were up against the other nominees...

I dont think they are a joke, and personally I dont mind listening to them now and then, they brought back classic guitar rock, which I am glad about, but granted they have some big flaws... but still i aint gonna slate them as hard as many do.

[scottST]

there is no denying the darkness are great fun.

maybe they are a joke, depends what u think. i still love their music.

long may their success continue.
