"Why I don't like The Libertines"

Reason #1: I have no idea.

:'{

I remember someone likening them to The Smiths who I hate, so although I had Up the Bracket on my iPod, I didn't listen to it. You'd be shocked if you actually knew me, because I hardly ever go by other peoples opinions or reviews.

I've subsequently listened through Up the Bracket about 8 times since last night. Plus Narcissist and Don't Look Back Into the Sun.

Stupid, stupid me.

I liked Babyshambles a bit too.



Now to go forth and buy Up the Bracket.

There okay. The bits where they go mental with the guitars and sound like their having a musical duel with the bassist and the drummer are quality, and they have some great songs, they aren't quite up to everyone's hype but still a good band.

First album is pretty good.

Second is rubbish

The final bit of Likely Lads is pure gold.

Ahaha, welcome.
Me and matteh shall bumrape you by moonlight.

The Man Who Would Be King

Some of the best riffs/solos/fills coming from the lead and rhythm guitars that I've heard in quite some time.

I don't dislike The Libertines, but I absolute hate how overrated they are.

Just about every one of my mates loves them, so I hear their songs all the time, but I can't think of a better word to describe them than "average"

Really nice summer stuff.

Most of there songs have lovely happy feeling music, but the lyrics have quite a few negative patches. I like the contrast.

Time for Heroes and Boys in the Band pwn on bracket. Although the whole things good. Hard to flaw a single song, except maybe Horror Show.

I love Don't Look back Into The Sun.

Got all those on iPod or disk.

That Bugle song is brilliant.

I also like Doherty's solo stuff from when he was high.
