Yeah, but you're judging it from a musical perspective, which really isn't the point of The Darkness - you might
as well say that Nigel Tuffnel's guitar solos for Spinal Tap aren't great.
> If the vocals suck, I usually won't bother to investigate any further.
But what do you mean by 'suck'? There are a lot of very idiosyncratic or even poor vocalists who've made great
records - Dylan, Randy Newman, Van Dyke Parks, Billy Bragg, Michael Stipe - do those suck in your opinion? All at
the very least take some time to get used to, but they also have all been involved in truly great records...
