DAMN GOOD ALBUM CONSIDERING THE CIRCUMSTANCES
Wonderful melodys and punk. This album is a definite classic, taking into consideration that Peter Doherty is a sloppy junkie at the time this is recorded. . . . as in punk rock kiddies.


¡wow this is music!

THIS IS MUSIC AND THEY SHOULD BE #1 IN THE BILLBOARD, THE ALBUM IS GREAT, THE SONGS ARE GREAT, THE DVD IS GREAT,THE FOOTAGE, THE VIDEOS, THE EXTRAS. ONE OF THE GRETEST ROCK BANDS OF THE WORLD.
THIS IS WHAT I CALL A ROCK ALBUM. BUY IT NOW IF YOY LOVE ROCK.


The DVD is worth getting
It's surprising that The Libertines made it through the year and that Pete Doherty is still alive. This was one of the best albums of the year 2004. Even though this record seems like a reflection over the past two years of the band, this record is more relaxed than its predecessor. The first single "Can't Stand Me Now" is almost as good as "Don't Look Back At The Sun. "

Other songs like "Narcissist" and "Campaign of Hate" are about the media fascination with The Libertines. There are not a lot of outright rockers like "I Get Along" but there is one hardcore punk song. There are zydeco and rockabilly influences. Most of this album is an exploration of The Libertines' sound. Once again Mick Jones (of The Clash) is back as a producer. I am not sure if this is their "Give Em Enough Rope" or "London Calling. " It is a thrilling album throughout.

Now re-released with the DVD, it is even better. The DVD is really Pete Doherty centric. The Libertines did tour half the of the year without him. There is footage from 2002 and 2003. Five songs from a Japanese gig. One song in Spain. Then there is a bunch of footage of Pete and Carl playing songs in Filthy McNasty's in London. A video of "Can't Stand Me Now. " A documentary is pretty good but adds nothing to the myth. The menus are exciting. This is a must have item.
