"the blissed-out, acoustic prequel to 'Albion' (it even borrows the repetition "one and the same, one and the same")"

more than one listen to albion or perhaps even just a google search (being a journalist and doing research is hard i know!!!!!!) would have shown you that it is from the song fuck forever. you mug :)

‘This is the album of the year!’ this is a comment I am sure your local hardcore fan of all things Doherty (such as my good self) will be shouting.

The fact of the matter is that this is!! A very strong very beautiful honest album bought together by the solid production skills of Mr James Street. There are some quite beautiful poignant moments in the album most notably on lost art of murder Side of the Road and you talk. However the spin tingling tender lyrics of carry on up the morning seem to have been lost in translation with the bands version from the original takes on the stookie and Bumfest Demo's….. this is not to say the song has been butchered it just feels a bit too (hey no one said they will ever win!!) polished and loses some of it's sincerity.

All in all this is a fucking awesome 'difficult' second album that will shove it up the left nostril of the judgemental stella swilling red top reading general public. Time for Hero’s? No….Time for a new chapter as a huge Libertines fan it pains me to say but the libertines are dead!! Babyshambles have established

I don't think its that much of a pete woe is me album, even songs that seem that way are actually just songs written as fictional story type songs not auto biographical,for example...delivery and baddies boogie.And unbilo titiled was co written with wolfman,and it says in the album extra dvd that the "why dont you fuck off.."ect lines are wolfman type lyrics, it also shows pete playing the bit he wanted on the song you talk,not the "gettin outa my head" bit that "street tricked him into playing" as he put it.apart from those little bits, an ok review.

WOW what an album, easily the best music ive heard since The Libertine (album), great lyrics despite NME's review every riff stays in your heart and has you tapping you're toes for hours afterwards...well done pete

Hey guys! What's up it's Johnny Basil? Yes, it's really me. I just signed up to hopefully get the guy who wrote this review in the direction of looking-for-another-job. He gets the dashes. Clever boy he is. Seriously though, this is horrible. NME sucks as much dick as Rolling Stone if they have this dipshit on the payroll. They probably just his ass up from the forums. Yeah! I'll give some starz though.
