There's one problem with releasing a debut album that runs like a greatest hits. You can't top it. And while they quickly fizzled out and dissolved into other bands, there was a time in 2003 and 2004 when The Darkness ruled the world of rock.
The songs were self-parodying, but bloody entertaining. In fact, just about everything on "Permission to Land" is a storming rock song with lashings of humour thrown in. Call it cheesy if you will, but let's face it, you loved it at the time.
"Permission to Land" is the only relevant output from the band, the less said about the follow up "One Way Ticket..." the better, but it still stands out as an absolutely classic album.
