The Path to Recognition
After the initial lukewarm reception of their first single, The Darkness eventually found massive success later in 2003 with other tracks, particularly "I Believe in a Thing Called Love," which became a global hit. This later success helped to retroactively spotlight their earlier work, including their debut. The band became known for their unique blend of glam rock, hard rock, and arena rock, coupled with humorous lyrics and flamboyant stage presence.
