...that self titled albums are a band's best. While this album is by no means poor, there is certainly nothing fundamentally wrong with it, it does not compare to their debut "Up the Bracket". However, the album is built on the strained relationship between the creative core of the band, Pete Doherty and Carl Bart. This tense writing style is epitomised by the album's flagship song, "Can't Stand Me Now".I think that while this record is definitely worthy of any self respecting collection, if I could only buy one Libertines' album, this would not be it.
