Permission to Land

Released

These British glam/metal revivalists first achieved notoriety by proselytizing their religion (a belief in a thing called love) but their cheeky debut album was filled with otherworldly delights. Between opener “Black Shuck”’s Baskervillain hound and its DGAF philosophy, “Get Your Hand off of My Woman” confirmation that there’s only room in this town for Justin Hawkins and his avian shriek, and the Foreigner-style mega-ballad “Love Is Only a Feeling,” The Darkness covered the full range and experience of late 70s-early 80s radio rock. Including, unfortunately for Hawkins, the cocaine.
