Diamond Nights are supposed to be America's answer to The Darkness. The Darkness came out with their record two years ago and they have a second one on the way. Diamond Nights got together a few years in New York City. They are obsessed with 1970s rock. The lead singer sounds a little like Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy. This is cool complex rock music. Songs like "Saturday Fantastic" and "It's a Shokka" are really amazing songs. This is like Fastway meets Iron Maiden dude. Of course there is "The Girl's Attractive" which is catchy as hell. This is the coolest song since the Cars. It's odd but this band does sound like a ton of records from 1978-1983. It's like they were transported by a time machine. They had an EP come out a year ago. This collection is much fuller and more happening. Diamond Nights are were it's at!
"The Girl's Attractive," as well as plenty of great songs like the very Urge Overkill-sounding "Dirty Thief," the rollicking low-key ballad "Snakey Ruth," the corny but fun "Drip Drip," and "Saturday Fantastic," a fine addition to the Saturday night canon and the kind of ****-walking tune the Stones wish they could wrap their moneyed hands around once again. The only downfall of the record is that the heart of it (including the two best songs, "Destination Diamonds" and "Saturday Fantastic") was already released on the Once We Were Diamonds EP. If you haven't heard it, no problem, but if you wore it out then the album has a bit of a recycled feel to it.
