    Even when the bagpipes show up on "Welcome Tae Glasgae," Motorheart is all riffs and falsetto screams designed to forget reality and dream of crowds packed with headbanging, beer-soaked hedonists singing along to the same songs.

    On Motorheart The Darkness’s timekeeping is impeccable and with songs about shagging droids their virility proven beyond doubt. As for staying on the right side of that fine line, give the boys credit; two outta three ain’t bad.

    It's    A definite step-down from the gobsmacking "comeback"-ishness of the last album (Easter is Cancelled), but that was surely inevitable.

    It's still better than the third and fourth albums of the band, and maybe a tad better than the fifth (when Queen drummer Roger Taylor's son, Rufus Tiger Taylor, took over on the skins). Seems like The Darkness are back to stay, and I for one have absolutely no complaints about that! It definitely "rocks", and like the last album, goes places the band have never been before (waters both "heavier" AND "poppier" than previous efforts)!
