Yeah Stone Gods are pretty good too, they seem to take themselves a bit too seriously for my liking though. (They may not, but that seems to be their image).
Yeah, It's a shame they aren't getting a great reception. But lets face it, it was a miracle that The Darkness ever got where they were. The industry is in a sad sad state these days, and I genuinely think people have been disillusioned into thinking they like a lot of this "popular" crap, or thinking the crap out these days is genuinely good. I mean, It's hard not to when its shoved in your face at every chance. TV, Radio, Bus Stops, Internet ads, billboards. When the vast majority of music fans are all crying out for something different.
