I have to agree. And at certain times, Hawkins reminds me of a young
Robert Smith. Most times, he's doing a great Rob Halford imitation. As a
matter of fact, if Justin Hawkins didn't sing the way he does, I might not
have liked the disc as much as I do. But it's really all about the songs,
and they've got some pretty catchy and irresistible ones.

Re: Americans Just Don't Get It...
This is really firing up some interesting discussion on how folks
perceive the Darkness. Quite a polarizing band I must say...
Still, I don't see them a "joke band". To me, this is a serious rock
band having a good time, singing dumb lyrics, and bringing fun
back to rock. Isn't that what power pop is all about? The first time
I heard the band...I actually didn't even think about their look
or "schtick"; I just heard a good, loud, melodic rock n' roll band.
Yeah...the falsetto straddles the line between annoying and bearable
in spots...but when the guy gets in the right range, he's actually a
decent singer.
