The Darkness is one of those bands that should have called it a day after their second album. Right there; 2005. After that, some occasional concerts and rare appearances steadily building their image and ultimately becoming a myth. Instead, they returned in 2012 and since then they make our lifes difficult. Pinewood Smile is an album below par, with some scattered hooks and no cohesion. Recommendations: "Japanese Prisoner", "Buccaneers of Hispaniola", "Solid Gold". No, "Southern Trains" is not one of the album's best songs. It's energetic but soul-less and banal.
