    Well I first thought, they were a load of w***. Then I started to listen to it a bit more and right now im listening to "Holding on my own", and I get to see them again on the 30th supporting Jane's Addiction. Woo hoo

    oh god!

    they've made they're way here aswell :/

    the darkness ain't that good!

    they're not original, they're not a new idea, it just sounds like it at the moment as there ain't many new bands like them now.

    They've won awards that imo they don't deserve, and from what i hear from someone at glastonbury ain't too hot live neither.

    They're meant to be superb live?? That's why they keep winning awards. Not that i care about awards mind.

    Also - live public concerts they cant swear can they? Not like gigs the specifically headline.
    I dont like sig pics so i turn off sigs Which doesnt help when i dont know what ive written here! DOH!

    True, i was hoping that stad rock-esque music had stopped.

    However, according to my brother they are brilliant live (Reading this year) and they can actually play well so even though I personally don't like their sound, they are not as offensive as manufactured pop.

    I saw them at Reading and didn't have a clue what they were like, but they were damn good.

    I just think it's rather funny, they're like a 70's glam rock band resurrected. Watch the movie 'Spinal Tap', they have pretty much based themselves on that!

    Darkness - cool, but they've a way to go to get to Muse's level.

    Saying that good luck to 'em, they know how to milk it

    Got tickets for Jane's Addiction at Wolves, not too impressed with the new album myself but the check out the back catalogue
