1.0 out of 5 stars The Description is Not Necessarily the Product, December 20, 2005

My wife is a big fan of Phil "the Power" Taylor, perhaps the best darts player in the world. He is featured on the cover of the cd and in the video. So when the product description stated that this item included the video, I ordered it as a gift. Unfortunately, the video does not appear to be there. So Phil Taylor fans are probably better off going through amazon.uk and getting the DVD from there. I have not yet listened to the music, but at least the cover is great.

It's a tough call, what with some of the slop that's been released this year, but I think old Gollum teeth here manages it. It's a remake of the old Sparks song, and some people seem to think just because it has the two guys from Sparks in the video it's some kind of seal of quality, like its got their approval. Let's be honest here, these old coots might as well have "will appear in snuff movies for cash" pinned on their chests.

It's really quite sad just how dated and awful Justin Hawkins already is. I'm mighty glad I didn't follow the rest of the sheep and buy "Permission To Land", calling it "album of the year" or whatever, because hooo boy, is he sounding tired now. I imagine that LP won't have many repeat listens to it through the years.

Anyway, one album in and already Hawkins sounds like a weak self-parody. It actually sounds like a radio DJ doing one of those spoof songs, it's THAT weak. Justin Hawkins, ladies and gentlemen - the single biggest (bad) one trick pony in ten years.

The new Darkness LP is out in a few months time, after months of troubled production and band fallouts and members leaving. Something tells your old pal The Curmudgeon that's it not going to be the mass unit shifter Hawkins is hoping for. But expect it to get the old one star treatment from The Irresponsible Hate Monger all the same.
