  • Summary: 'Permission To Land' is the debut LP for the rock four-piece from Norfolk, England (and we're talking the big, loud, stadium-rock end of the rock continuum, not the indie-rock end).

    It is that love, devotion, and unfaltering belief that makes 'Permission To Land' such an essential listen, and such a joy to behold. It is the sound of triumph.

    There's no way you won't be listening to this CD on repeat for anything less than two weeks straight.

    This is a dismal failure.

    A joke. Of course, it's meant to be a joke, yeah? The review above that says this disc has all the shelf life of a pint of milk is right. Anybody could have made this album, only The Darkness were actually stupid enough to do so.… Expand
