Last of Our Kind

Glad to see the band back in form. There's not one bad track on this album. Those giving it bad reviews either don't know what good rock is or they never listened to it! The hooks, melodies, solos, harmonies, etc. just show this groups immense talent.

I love this band! Keep rock and roll alive!

Great Band! I have all their albums!!!

Great album - return to form- tasty licks - great songwriting - great production - best album cover in years - hope there's more to come!!

I was turned on to The Darkness when an ex showed me their biggest hit, I Believe in a Thing Called Love. I scoured the webs to purchase their albums and enjoy the music. This particular album was, however, a disappointment to me. The reason they get 4 stars is because it's still Rock solid. Coming from someone who thought Hot Cakes was brilliant, this album was so formulaic it hurt at times. With some arena anthems such as Wheels of the Machine and the title track Last of Our Kind you can't help but feel the music. Then with songs like Mudslide and Mighty Wings you feel like someone is jesting you. Overall, a solid purchase and well worth the listen(s). Just, better to go in with low expectations.

Holy cow! The Darkness is always oozing the essence of classic rock and metal.....this time is no exception, but I also hear a little bit of influence from The Cult, Big Country, and U2, showcasing their UK pedigree. Love this band and have never been disappointed.

love this band. remind of no one really. Justin Hawkins is an animal. keep on shreadin boys!! (and gurl)!

This is the best thing since sliced bread. It Opens Fire in my heaaaaaaaaart!! The more you listen, the more you love. Everyone buy this now and see them on tour!!

Ever since I heard “I Believe in a Thing Called Love” I was HOOKED on The Darkness. This album brings back the feel and sounds of their first along with some fun new tunes and voice styles on different songs. Truly something to put on full blast and rock out too! Can’t wait to see them live again this year!

If you love fantastic rock music that makes you feel great, this is the album for you. The Darkness may poke fun at themselves, but they definitely take their music seriously. The band members are all top notch musicians with big guitar riffs, amazing bass lines, great drumming and some of the best vocals in the business. This album is solid. Warning: If you hate getting music stuck in your head, do not buy this album...These songs will become permanently lodged in your head. For the rest of you: This is were the challenge comes in...
