" Viking themes loom large, with the Led Zeppelin-esque "Roaring Waters" and the truly epic, ELO-meets-Muse-blasted "Mighty Wings" leading the charge, but detours into groove-laden, Southern boogie rock ("Mudslide"), "She Sells Sanctuary"-era Cult-inspired psych-rock, and no-hook-left-behind, earworm-heavy guitar pop ("Hammer and Tong") prove to be just as compelling. What's most surprising is that Justin Hawkins' seismic falsetto, as impressive as ever, no longer feels like the main event, as the band match each caterwaul with a comparable sonic boom of their own".

"Vurdering: B-" - "The Darkness recently changed drummers twice within the span of a year, and prior to that, nearly permanently lost its frontman to drugs and alcohol. Thankfully, luck turned around to bring us a legitimate comeback in 2015. Soon to be headlining South Wales' Planet Rockstock in December, with the son of Queen's own drummer in tow, this album is the conquering victory of guitar over guilt. Last of Our Kind is nothing groundbreaking, but it shakes the Earth with pumping fervor; it's not a mindfuck, it's a facemelt".
