The Darkness - Believe in a Thing Called Love

Full Title - I Believe In A Thing Called Love. Taken from the buzzworthy hard rocker's 2003 album 'Permission to Land'. The title track (Single Version) is backed with two non-LP tracks, 'Makin' Out' & 'Physical Sex'. Darkness. Album Description

Good single but..

This is a great single, but I recommend you to search for the australian release, cos includes an extra track, Out Of My Hands, that is a very nice song.
Also have to say that the the title track is very different from the album version in the arrangements. November 28, 2005

The best b-sides on any single CD from The Darkness

I'm not gonna waste my time on "I Believe In a Thing Called Love", since evryone has heard it. These b-sides are great though. Makin' Out is a great song; it sounds a bit like an AC-DC song. "Physical Sex" may be the greatest song by The Darkness I've heard yet. Justin Hawkins hits those high notes above the sky. You won't be disappointed with this one. August 31, 2004

So very, very mediocre and derivitive

Outside of the ls's falsetto (and Tiny Tim has original provenance over that) this band does nothing even remotely interesting or unique. I wish that someone could tell me why, if a band's lyrics are purile, utterly bereft of any deeper meaning, and oftimes just embarrassingly stupid, would they include them in the liner notes? If you don't have the lyrics sitting right in front of you, you might mistake what the singers warbling as something decent, even insightful, but in truth it's utter dreck and the documentation merely proves it. But the gratuitous use of obscenities really, really makes the weak writing so much stronger. Okay, not really. I'm so glad I only paid $11 for this POS, but better to not buy it at all. Mediocre musicians with nothing original to offer, or even a particularly good method of derivation from thems that did. April 3, 2004

I Believe It's A Thing Called Crap!!!!!

Lousy songs, terrible singer and a style that died out with spandex and grown men with make-up.
There is no originality here at all, but if you're going to imitate anything, let it be anything other than 80's metal!!!
Is there something wrong with the singer?? He sings like his pants might be on too tight.
I recommend this music for no one. Once the initial fascination fades with this band, you'll walk into a used record store and find this c.d. all over the place, just like the old 80's metal albums that I gave away so long ago. April 3, 2004
