Libertines - The Libertines - desertcart.com Music Review: Impossibly Better Than the First - Anyone who's heard The Libertines first album, Up the Bracket, can testify to just how awesome this band can be. Their first album was all but flawless, which is what makes it so unbelievable that they could follow it up with something better, but they did. As the relationship between singers Pete Doherty and Carl Barat crumbled, their music thrived, making for some of the best music in years. Gems include the superb album opener "Can't Stand Me Now", an epic of lost love that sounds like a call and response between the singers. Fans of the first album will recognize "The Man Who Would Be King" as something of a sequel to that album's "Tell the King". The album closes with "What Became of the Likely Lads", playing like an early eulogy for a band that knew it was doomed (they split shortly after the release of this album). Overall The Libertines self-titled sophomore effort is note for note every bit as good, if not better than their first album. This second album is more mature and melodic than their first, noisy classic, but it still perfectly captures the essence of the band. Review: Shoop Shoop de lang de lang de lang - Good follow up to - Up the Bracket.

A Great Band
There is not much to say beyond that this is a wonderful band. Their music is both true and honest right down to the gritty guitars and poetic lyrics. The extra DVD is nice but beyond the concert from Japan there is not anything really worth watching. Awesome band, awesome album!

Too bad Doherty is so self-destructive
I only recently heard this whole album for the first time and I was wowed. Had to buy it immediately. What a talented band. Too bad Doherty is so self-destructive :(

日本盤のボーナストラックは、2004年当時の物のほうがいいですよ。

Die Frage war klar: Schaffen es The Libertines, ihre Wahnsinnsvorlage, dieses grandiose Erstlingswerk, zu toppen? Oder zumindest am Sockel von "Up the brackets" zu kratzen? Die Frage, ob sie denn überhaupt noch ein Album herausbringen würden stand natürlich auch noch im Raum... Zumindest gibt es nun definitiv ein zweites Libertines-Album, und dafür muß man prinzipiell schon dankbar sein. Einige werden der meinung sein, "The Libertines" hört sich noch frischer, rauher, erdiger und ursprünglicher an als "Up the brackets", andere Stimmen werden behaupten, der Nachfolger sei noch viel dilettantischer eingespielt als sein Vorgänger, und dabei standhaft mißachten, daß das ja die Libertines überhaupt erst ausmacht. Die Wahrheit ist irgendwo da draußen. Oder dazwischen, wie man will. Herzblut ist immer so ein Ausdruck, der gerne mit Libertine'schen Werken in Verbindung gebracht wird. Nun, davon finden wir auch diesmal wieder reichlich auf "The Libertines", welches für mich jedoch eher wie der Vorgänger von "Up the brackets" klingt. Das Songwriting läßt einige Knaller wie "Boys in the band" oder "Vertigo" vermissen, wartet dafür aber mit anderen, ruhigeren Aspekten auf. Zumindest die Hälfte aller Songs sind aber spätestens nach dem dritten Durchgang Ohrwürmer, wenn auch wie gesagt nicht von der Genialität der alten Songs. Ich will nicht das Cliché vom "Erwachsen werden" bemühen, aber ich gebe zu, so etwas in der Art ging mir durch den Kopf. Als Anspieltips kann man hier nennen: das mitreißende "Can't stand me now", das Gänsehaut produzierende "Music when the lights go out", das irgendwie an einen alten R.E.M. -Song erinnernde "The Ha Ha Wall" ("Carnival of Sorts (Boxcars)", für die, die es genauer wissen wollen), das parolenhafte "Campaign of hate" und das ach so Libertines-typische "Road to ruin". Die neue Scheibe packt einen also vielleicht nicht gleich, aber bei manchen Alben muß man halt auch einfach ein bißchen "lernen", sie zu hören. Und es ist ja doch so: Entweder liebt man die Libertines oder man haßt sie - also, ganz klare Kaufempfehlung für die Fans. Solchen, die es noch werden wollen, sei erstmal das eingängigere Debut ans Herz gelegt. Bleibt noch die Wertung, aber was gibt man einem Album, das zwar nicht ganz an seinen 5-Sterne-würdigen Vorgänger herankommt, aber immer noch um Längen besser als das meiste ist, das derzeit auf den Musikmarkt geworfen wird ? s.o. ...

Record is great quality and good sound. For fans of the later solo work /projects of Pete Doherty this Libertines album will fit right in.
