The Darkness, Easter Is Cancelled. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Easter Is Cancelled, but the sweet delivery of the unexpected gift stays true in the heart at any time of the year.

There is always a surprise which comes from a band that you may well believe you know well but which at some time or another pull the exceptional out of the bag and give the audience the belief that they have heard the defining moment of the group’s career. Such a moment should not be unexpected, but it should be treated with reverence, with the kind of respect deserving one who has sensationally delivered above and beyond a piece of art which smiles.
