“I Believe In A Thing Called Love” was one of the best rock singles of 2003, so the Darkness have their work cut out for them on sophomore CD One Way Ticket to Hell… and Back, out 11/29.
The title track is streaming on MySpace, and it’s not bad. It’s no “I Believe,” and the chorus is a little Meat Loaf-y, but I have a feeling I’ll be humming it all day. At least it beats Justin Hawkins’ Sparks cover.

I was going to say ‘Needs more cowbell” but honestly, I think it’s full to bursting as is.
And I would like to congratulate the Darkness on best album title ever.
It doesn’t need more sitar. I can’t wait to hear “dinner lady arms.” full album tracklist over my way.
The Darkness were a refreshing breath of fresh air when they came out. Can’t wait for the new album.
I didn’t get it two years ago and I don’t get it now. Damn kids.
I love the first album… but this song doesn’t do it for me. Doesn’t seem like anything special.
and i would like to congratulate the darkness on being the worst band ever
After MySpace finished streaming “One Way Ticket” I had it play “Thing Called Love.” Like it or not, “Thing” sounds like a 25-year old song you somehow never heard. “One Way Ticket” sounds like every 25-year old song you heard and immediately forgot. One way ticket to dull…and back.
they’re still fun.
simply put, if you dont like the Darkness, you’re not my friend.
utter shite, same as their other offerings.
I think it’s wicked! Great chorus!
Anyone notice the incorrect grammar? “One way ticket to hell and back” I think that would make it a return ticket, wouldn’t it?
that’s the point you fool. it’s called irony?
That’s it? That’s what took them two years to make? That’s what almost split them up? It’s just the special school version of I Believe In A Thing Called Love, isn’t it? Let’s hope the video has a big where they ‘ironically’ brown up during the sitar bit. Nice flange, mind you…
you freaks are on a darkness blog… if you hate them.. what the hell are u doing here?? like honestly get a mother fuckin life..
The fact of the matter is, The Darkness are the best band in the history of music and this song is absolutely class.
Oh my god can no one else see how fuckin shit the darkness are and that new song is a blatent rip off of oooh heaven is a place on earth. the darkness are the worst rock band in history and i will take great pleasure in creaming them!
i think i just creamed my grans pants that i have on
Aye, I creamed on your gran…
up ye jam ya fag
i luv special people
up ye jam ya fag
i luv special people
The Darkness are pish the blow dogs for pennys… theyre no D’Rango Rocks anyway!!!
Aye fair play, but dunno bout the ropey drummin…
The Darkness are brilliant you guys shut up you are talking rubbish just leave this site now.
Nice to see Justin weesacks Hawkins has taken time out of hangin with the darkness and baldy boy to come and defend his honor… Brilliant must be the new word for vile horse shite.
ooh heaven is a one way ticket to hell…
ps Bon Scott would fart on the darkness
pps I just creamed my grants pants again…
Im Gay!
their new song i think is a better version of ‘a thing called love’
Im Gay!
Their new song is well beast!
didnt kno what to think about this song at first but after playing it a few more times i think it’s awesome. also took me a few times to get used to solo! but it’s awesome! such a change from the standard pentatonic stuff from most rock bandS! the darkness are shit hot!such a breath of fresh air!
and i’d just like to ask y people say the darkness are the worst band ever?? if you dont like them then fair enough but that doesnt mean that they’re a bad band does it!dear god people please learn about things u dont understand before you pass judgement! laters!
Nov 29th wooo!!!not long now!
To be perfectly honest, the Darkness absoulutly rock.Its called ‘glam rock’ and its the best.None of todays bands would be around if it we’rnt for the likes of queen,areosmith etc.All these people who go around on stage being either emo of facking metal heads on their powerchord songs,talking about how bad life is? how can yah say its crap when you’ve got people like Son of dork and mcfly thinking that they can play guitar! Exacatly!!,so ,to cut a long story short, it rocks, great chorus, I can imagine it live, but its a new stlye I think, some what differnet from permission to land, and I hope the other songs are as good as this one..anyway..it rocks..simple as
crap there bak, i thought theyd pissd off 4 gud
Holy sh*t! Thank God they’ve got a new one coming out!!! One way ticket to hell is a great song. I am already trying to learn the words. Can anybody help me out? So awesome. I can’t stop loving them. They make my day…
Jimmy.. man you rock the shit! this is what ive been trying to tell people for EVOR! this is the kind of band that could change music forevor!!! im so done with all those emo bands up on stage (nothin against them) these guys r jus so out of the norm and so doin their own thing.. its jus somethin new.. there r only so many times u can hear an emo band sing a song about dying.. this songs about hope.. how many bands can make hope so sound effin amazing??
Okay. What is wrong with all you fans? Haven’t you noticed? They replaced Frankie! The bassist! They got some new guy who looks like Moby! What the hell?! WHERE IS FRANKIE?!
The Darkness cannot be touched. They are a breath of fresh air.
anyone noticed how One Way Ticket pilfers the riff from I Believe…they just changed the end of it slightly…piss poor effort lads…
a breath of fresh air…from the 1980′s…..theyre all twats and guess what like their new title…that breath of fresh air bit was ‘ironic’ now go listen to some fuckin real music or raid your moms 80′s collection and listen to every song the darkness have and will come up with ever.
They suck salty donkey dick
if robyn is gay then just justin should just bum you then you can fuck off
As a darkling i’d have to say that the boys have done it again! One way ticket RAWKS!
They’re not the worst band ever, not by a long way. But what defines a great band is it’s ability to atune to the ppls desires at that point in time. Do u really think many ppl spoke out against Queen or The Jimi Hendrix experience when they burst on the scene? No? That’s why they are great and the darkness are not. I saw both the darkness and the reformed Queen w/in the space of a month, the Darkness put on a great performance, Queen did what came naturally to them, those guys live rock they don’t perform it.
Just out of hospital after 3 year coma!! heard that darkness tune and its still utter shite!!!
ps cheers for the handjob justin!!
