Reviews
"It proves as capable of suspending your disbelief and blowing your mind as any blockbuster....The Darkness are back and, this time, it's personal.", "Still intact are guitars, guitars, guitars, Hawkins’ otherworldly falsetto, and the band’s proclivity for arena rock practitioners like KISS, Queen and AC/DC.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Happily HOT CAKES re-boots the ebullient riffage and hooky, castrato-like histrionics that their 2003 debut PERMISSION TO LAND so welcome.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "HOT CAKES stays amusing, mixing beer-barrel chuggers with proud schlock ballads.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "HOT CAKES leaves you with the sense that The Darkness' reinvigoration will delight those longing for rock to rediscover the fun button."
