Well they're not exactly starting out as a band in their youth. You have to remember that.
But I felt the opposite, i thoguht they're performances were great. The lighting is a bit bizzare, but I can realy see, when the camera zoomed on the band members, a sense of real love for the music.
I suggest you search for the Skies Above live, with Mr. Goo in it. That performance is pretty amazing. Also look for Blue Blast - Winning the Rainbow or Vamo' Alla Flamenco to see how much emotion they realy put into their instruments.
In fact the Black Mages are one of the main bands I realy want to see live at the moment.
About the singing in Darkness and Starlight... I like the opera the song was a remix of, and love what they did with it, but I agree in soem parts the singing was a bit overdone. I think it was the female vocalist that overstepped it a bit, as the two male singers were great, and the bit when the band members themselves sing was fantastic!
