"Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time" is a song by the English rock band The Darkness.
The song is about a man regretting a decision that lead to the demise of a previous romantic relationship. musicOMH called it an introspective laced with regret [1] It is the fifth track in the band's sophomore album One Way Ticket to Hell... and Back and it was recorded at Chapel Studios, South Thoresby, Lincolnshire; Paul Smith Music Studios, London.
The song has been released in three different albums:
On 28 November 2005 on the band's second album One Way Ticket to Hell... and Back. [2]
On 1 April 2008 in the first compilation album "The Platinum Collection". [3]
On 4 August 2008 in the second compilation album "2 in 1: Permission to Land/One Way Ticket to Hell". [4]
AllMusic criticized the song saying that it sounds too much like stale Meat Loaf. [2]
Pitchfork Media commented that Baker makes like Michael Kamen in conducting orchestral embellishments to Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time or Blind Man, but nothing hits the November Rain epic heights the band so desperately wants to reach. [5]
musicOMH commented that "Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time is an introspective laced with regret and an overdone string section." [1]
Drowned in Sound stated It seemed like a good idea at the time. Good title, admittedly. Whereas _‘Seemed Like A Good Idea at the Time’_ is Hell's ‘Love Is Only A Feeling’ and therefore nothing new and perhaps not a good idea at the time. [6]
