The Darkness - Permission To Land
The Darkness - Permission To LandWhat do you get when you mix five parts Spinal Tap, two thousand five hundred and thirty six parts Heavy Metal cliché and eight to twelve parts early Def Leppard with a tongue which may or may not be buried firmly in someone’s cheek? Well… you get this. Amusing in places, rocktastic in others, exciting but in a grotesque way that’ll make you want to take a shower after hearing it. I think they would have been considered too much if they’d come out with this in 1986 and died a death at the hands of the Metalheads of those times and for this reason I like them just fine. Beware: This Record Contains Traces Of Male Falsetto Vocals. You have been warned!
