5.0 out of 5 stars Do YOU believe in a thing called love?, March 28, 2004
You will after hearing this song! The Darkness is Rock and Roll, and so is this single! Simply put, everyone who doesn't like this song, doesn't fully Rock. Get over yourself and enjoy the music. Anyway, the single includes:

I Believe In A Called Love (Single Version)- Arguably the best song on their debut album, "Permission to Land", the single version is just a little different from the album version. In my opinion, it's better than the album version. The guitar part at the beginning of the song is louder, and the "Ahhh ahhhhhhhh" background vocals during the bridge are a little louder and crisper. But either way, it still is a great song!

Makin' Out- Great track, all about what the title says. The opening has a definite "Thunderstruck" sound, a cool chorus, and an all around cool song. Definitely a Rocker.

Physical Sex- This song ROCKS. This track is not only one of their best b-sides, it's actually better than a lot of the tracks on the album! That's not discounting the album at all, which is phenomenal, it's just that the song is that good. From the opening to the chorus ("Fi Seh Cul SEHHHHHHHHHHHHHX!!!!), it's solid the whole way through.

This single is awesome, it's worth it just for Physical Sex alone. So have no fear, order the single, and be swept away by the magic of Rock!

5.0 out of 5 stars Get it for the B-sides!, February 20, 2004
By redSG "a yank overseas" (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews
I was lucky enough to pick this up at a local CD shop, and it's quite the find.
"I Believe In a Thing Called Love" is a great song, and this version, a little different than the album cut is awesome. The real treat with this CD-single, however, is the b-sides (not available on the their album). They are great cuts. "Makin' Out" gets 5 stars by itself. When it started, I could've sworn it was AC/DC. This band is great, great fun--falsetto singing and all!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good single but.., November 27, 2005
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.
