Permission To Land

Release Date: October 6, 2023

The Darkness delivered Permission To Land in 2003 as a full-throttle celebration of arena rock excess, complete with falsetto vocals, dual guitar harmonies, and lyrics that swing between genuine anthems and tongue-in-cheek humor. The album captures the band's ability to play massive rock songs completely straight while winking at the absurdity of it all.

Standout Tracks

• I Believe in a Thing Called Love: The falsetto-driven anthem with its instantly recognizable guitar riff and over-the-top video
• Growing on Me: Showcases the band's knack for combining genuine melody with theatrical delivery
• Love Is Only a Feeling: A power ballad that demonstrates their serious songwriting chops beneath the spectacle

Mood: driving, theatrical, anthemic, party
