	The Libertines (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Libertines is the second, self-titled album by the British post-punk revival band The Libertines.
		Released on August 30, 2004, it is particularly biographical of the relationship between frontmen Carl Barât and Pete Doherty.
		The album cover was taken by Roger Sargent during the emotional "Freedom Gig" at the Tap 'N' Tin, Chatham, Kent, on October 8, 2003, when Pete Doherty reunited with the Libertines for a gig just hours after being released from jail.

		However, when the Libertines don't pretend that the party is still going on and give in to their collective hangover, the album really takes shape.
		Ever since their first single, "What a Waster," the Libertines' experience has been about life imitating art imitating life, and The Libertines is an accurate, sometimes uncomfortable reflection of the band at this point: more scattered and unstable than they were on Up the Bracket, but also more ambitious and more interesting.
		The Libertines self-titled second album is somewhat of a disappointment after their glourious debut 'Up the Bracket'.

	CLUAS Indie Album Reviews: The Libertines 'The Libertines'
		The Libertines' eponymous second album is one which will reinforce their existing fan base but will do little to convert the non-believers.
		Considering that one of the most endearing aspects to the Libertines is the amicable brotherly relationship between Carl and Pete it was interesting to see how the rift would play out on the album.
		For example the albums cover is a photo of Pete and Carl; blue eyed Carl gazing innocently at the camera and a pale, ghostlike Doherty looking down at his outstretched arm.

	The Libertines: Up the Bracket -- Ink Blot Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		By Up the Bracket's release in 2002 The Libertines were already a bigger story than their music, and within a year would be a genuine tabloid phenomenon thanks to Doherty's open heroin and crack problems, frequent disappearances/reappearances, and, by the release of 2004's follow-up, the unclear status of the future of the band.
		But what The Libertines have is a very rare ability to make all this work for them, to embrace their frailties and shortcomings and make make celebratory art out of them.
		In case you're smart enough not to read the NME, I'll catch you up: The Libertines lead singer/songwriter Peter Doherty has some serious issues with drugs, and the associated difficulties with things like turning up to gigs and staying awake in the studio.

	Eyeball Kid - The Libertines - The Libertines - Album Review
		In short The Libertines have developed a relationship with their fans that goes beyond the standard fan/band relationship and transcends the idea of fan clubs, merchandising, concerts and all the other factors that are supposed to represent this bond but have in fact become insatiable elements of a rampant commercialism.
		The Libertines may be important to teens but for the rest of us there’s just a slight nostalgia for a time when bands meant so much to us.
		Doherty was still a Libertine whilst recording the album though the sessions were so fraught with tension, security guards had to be brought in to prevent any outright brawling.

	The Libertines Album Reviews
		The terrific album opener not only boasts a deliciously gritty guitar sound and a propulsive rhythm, but it contains the looseness Joe Strummer was always aiming for, both with the Clash and more recently with his more folk-oriented backing band, the Mescaleros.
		Between the release of Up the Bracket and the recording of their sophomore album, The Libertines went through more shit than most bands in their entire existence, but I'm not going into that, there are others who can tell you exactly what happened, like the British music and tabloid press.
		Nowadays, it seems unlikely that we'll get another Libertines album by this line-up, as the main songwriters have gone their separate ways, and that's a goddamn shame.

	The Libertines, Self Titled: Album Review : Soul Shine Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		There are those who would suggest that The Libertines’ decision to self-title their new album concedes laziness or lack of interest on their part.
		While the style and musicianship featured on the album is topnotch, it’s the thinly-veiled autobiographical lyrics that are the centerpiece of ‘The Libertines’.
		There is a good reason the members of The Libertines named this album after themselves, and it has nothing to do with pretension or the massive amounts of press they receive on a day-to-day basis.

	The Libertines: The Libertines -- Ink Blot Magazine
		By The Libertines's release in 2002 The Libertines were already a bigger story than their music, and within a year would be a genuine tabloid phenomenon thanks to Doherty's open heroin and crack problems, frequent disappearances/reappearances, and, by the release of 2004's self-titled follow-up, the unclear status of the future of the band.
		But while they've spun the most romantic tale in recent pop history, it might be worth asking their long-suffering rhythm section, or the fans forced to watch the shorthanded band onstage, how loved they feel.
		The Libertines is filled with the kind of couplets that cry out for quoting but that seem to lose their power when removed from their melodic context.

	The Libertines's 'The Libertines' album - Tiscali Music Reviews
		Produced, as with debut album 'Up The Bracket', by Clash legend Mick Jones and engineered by Bill Price (who worked on 'London Calling'), 'The Libertines' is as ramshackle and effortless as you'd expect, spitting out killer tunes, insistent hooks and mouth-watering melodies at every turn.
		Album closers 'Road To Ruin' and 'What Became Of The Likely Lads' offer up a few more telling lyrics including the affectionate, "trust in me/take me by the hand" and the mournful, "what became of the likely lads/what became of the dreams we had", bringing the album to a tender end.
		With this album The Libs can now take their place alongside The Clash, The Who, The Jam, Oasis and The Kinks as part of the elite group of bands that can lay claim to the term 'genius'.

	The Libertines: self-titled - PopMatters Music Review
		The Libertines are one of those bands who are impossible to hate when they're at their best, but are also a band so out of control, that all too often, they annoy you to no end with their endless parade of public screw-ups.
		Stupid???" The Libertines are a band so talented, yet so riddled with internal strife, that the mere thought of what these boys are capable of keeps you interested in their music, despite all the offstage drama.
		More often than not, albums by bands riddled with drug problems rarely make for an enjoyable listening experience, but despite the problems, despite the fact that the new album is, yet again, a half-assed effort, The Libertines is nonetheless a thoroughly fascinating one to hear.

		But like the Strokes, the Libertines manage to imbue snotty garage rock with a sort of wistful romanticism that adds genuine soul to their raucous clatter.
		The Libertines are a band that would have fitted in perfectly in the golden days of rock'n'roll, and it's only a shame that they have yet to really reform.
		The Libertines were as tight-knit a gang as all the best bands ever have been, yet Doherty and Barat's relationship bordered on more than being best mates: there was a sense of brotherhood and platonic love that added to the romance and engendered a myth.

	The Libertines: triple j music reviews
		The Libertines have a ramshackle and rough-hewn beauty/spirit that I haven't heard in a band for a long time.
		Band problems aside, the tracks on this album are individually addictive, and yet they also seamlessly blend together into a finished product of such quality that is rare to find these days.
		This album is one of those compalations where you can actually feel the tension in the band coming through, its great for blasting and just having a great dance in the dark to!!!

		This doesn't seem to be the case with The Libertines.
		Their self-titled album exudes a visceral reality, like the band holed themselves up in a room and recorded what transpired.
		While other bands being lumped in the garage rock category seem to be interchangeable both in name and musicianship, The Libertines have a much looser cockiness to their swagger.

	The Libertines: Up the Bracket - PopMatters Music Review
		Listening to The Libertines' debut album is kind of like being at a boisterous party.
		As the album concludes with an equally strange skiffle number (?), it brings to mind that aforementioned, crazy drunken man, dancing down the street in the opposite direction from where you're headed, loudly singing to nobody in particular, his voice echoing off the surrounding buildings.
		And like that inebriated fellow, you hope to death that The Libertines can just make it through the next year in one piece, so they can come along and blow you away a second time.

		In October 2002, the Libertines’ cocktail of overexcited guitars and drunken Cockney vocals produced their crackling debut, Up the Bracket, which smitten Blender editors declared the sixth-best record of the year.
		And the new album’s best tracks — the rampant “Can’t Stand Me Now” as much as the poignant “Music When the Lights Go Out” — depict argumentative love-hate relationships indistinguishable from their own.
		Maybe the Libertines can see the mess they’ve got themselves in; there’s certainly no scarcity of allusions to their predicament.

		The Libertines have had a massive stamp on modern day music and also with Babyshambles, Dirty Pretty Things and Yeti are bands with former Libs members in them.
		This album is quite emotional and unsettling at times, mainly due to frequent references to drugs and the consequences of taking them.
		All in all, this album is a sublime piece of work from Britain's finest, despite their premature conclusion.

	The Libertines - The Libertines : album review
		They really suck!" Pete Doherty, erstwhile lead singer of The Libertines, appears to have taken this advice to heart and is living the "rock 'n' roll lifestyle" so convincingly that it appears several tabloid newspapers have already composed his obituary.
		Doherty was later reconciled with Barat but the recording of The Libertines was, to put it lightly, stressful.
		If this is to be the final Libertines product then it's a compelling snapshot of a talented group in crisis - if Doherty can sort out his problems then the band have the potential to be one of the best in the world.

		Their new self-titled album brings to the forefront the inner turmoil and anguish that has both helped and hurt the promising young band out of the UK since the group formed in late 2001.
		Their second album to date, The Libertines, focuses on the tumultuous, on-again-off-again relationship of dueling front men and old chums Peter Doherty and Carl Barât.
		The two rock out their deepest emotions towards one another for the whole world to hear and the emotion and sincerity of their lyrics are both honest and intriguing.

		Signed to Rough Trade by Christmas '01, to supporting The Strokes on their two reshedualled dates at the end of February the next year, The Libertines are set to carry on with the large impact they are sustaining.
		With their current setlist of nine songs reminiscent of The Jam and The Cure, with the cocky lyrics of early Blur, they're following the path that The Strokes have made, they're destined enforce the late 70's punk rock movement and save the currect music scene from the yelling of nu metal.
		Six gigs into their career, The Libertines were garnering press attention for their energetic performances and seem to have the ability to stick in peoples heads and stir up a fair bit of praise via word of mouth.
