LOOK is an absolute beast. You smashed the heck out of the drums on that album and you should be so damn proud of it. I'm a massive fan of the Darkness and have been since 2004 (20 fookin years) 🔥

Your sound on “open fire” is just so heavy and pounding, sounds like you were having an amazing time. Your sound was addictive on that album...

Far and away my fave album from The Darkness. Some great drumming from Emily 🥁

That time signature change you do in the bridge and coda for Roaring Waters is absolutely magnificent. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when that moment was cooked up.

As a The Darkness fan, this is wonderful to hear...thank you Emily. I'm so pleased to hear it was a happy and creative time for you and the band.

Great story Emily, remember you playing here in Ireland in the small town of Newbridge with The Darkness and you knocked it out of the park, and as a drummer i really think the energy you gave to that album was a big part of making that a great high octane power house of an album, the energy is massive coming from it, and you created it, be proud and all the best, big fan of your groove😎😎🎼🎼❤

Just seen this clip. No idea how I haven't seen it but I was right there at the front at that gig. Was at Dublin and Belfast. Wish I could have went to more 😅

I had no idea about this record or your drumming. Seriously some of the best rock and roll that has been produced and made in years. Aces.

The last of our kind album has some standout drumming and great room sound. Roaring waters, Open fire and Barbarian are my clear favourites. Great job.

Enjoyed hearing this. Met them here in Cleveland back in 2004 I think. Very nice guys, a lot of fun to talk with.

Awesome story / memories. Thank you for sharing all of these details with us. As much of a fan I am of the final product, I am equally if not more intrigued by the behind the scenes work and production etc. Keep on Rockin’ 🤟🏻

Revisited this album recently and was wondering how you became a part of everything and how it went. This video was exactly that. So cool. Keep rocking!

You are my favorite Darkness drummer on my favorite Darkness album! The drumming was so solid and the fill-in you did just before the guitar solo on "Messenger" is f***ing spot on! I incorporated it into my repertoire immediately!

Messenger is one of the best tracks on that album - super underrated!

Great story Emily, it's a fantastic album on a par with Permission to Land. I discovered you from the album also and it's a shame you weren't on the next LP. Do you get royalties from the album.
