Rated 8/10
Pretty decent mid 2000s indie rock. I had a good time listening to it, will listen again.
Rated 4/10
Yet another ex-1001 album!™

It's great until it's not... sadly relegated to the "landfill indie" wasteland. 2.5
Rated 6/10
Another that I feel I should like more than I do. Honestly prefer the follow up album to this one. 3/5
Rated 8/10
Jumbled messy stream-of-consciousness junkie logic stories about nothing and everything, from a time guitars were endangered and english kids thought this lot could help bring them back. Interesting and, in the uk, important, and surprisingly good
Rated 8/10
Was a fan of the libertines when I was a teenager, proably one of the best U.K. bands from the 00’s Indie scene until the Arctic Monkeys came along. So this is rating has a personal bias to it, a soild 4 star album in my eyes.
As a side note I seen everyone is jumping on the Wikipedia sentence that in 2005 this was voted the 3rd most overrated album of all time. Thought it was worst sharing the results of that poll here of that poll for context:
1 Nirvana - Nevermind
2 Coldplay - X&Y
3 The Libertines - The Libertines
4 Oasis - Definitely Maybe
5 U2 - Joshua Tree
6 Radiohead - OK Computer
7 The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
8 The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
9 Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bollocks
10 The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead
Apart from X&Y I’d say that list is full of great albums, overrated maybe, but still great none of the less.
Rated 6/10
As far as early 2000s British Indie Rock goes, I'd have to say I prefer this to almost everything else that was going on at that time. Has a nice and loose feel to it that makes it more relatable than a lot of the over produced things that were in fashion at the time. Goes down easy like a pint of lager.
Rated 6/10
Qué yonkies y qué desastre, canciones buenas pero en general no iban a ningún lado. "Can't stand me now", "What Katie did" y algunas cosas más. Bien, le voy a dar un 3 aunque habrá gente que con el tiempo se pregunte por qué estaba este disco en una lista de 1001 imprescindibles.
Rated 8/10
It shows such promise, I just wish it were tighter and more polished.
Rated 4/10
Well, this is a blast from the past. What ever did become of the likely lads?
