Advantages: F*** Forever, The 32nd of December, Killamangiro, Albion Disadvantages: Back from The Dead, Merry go Round
A great listen for any Doherty fan. But if it's The Libertines your looking for this may not be for you. Whilst theres no doubt that Pete Doherty is one of the great musical talents of this generation at times whilst listening to the album theres a feeling that somethings missing, in the form of Doherty's former Libertine partner Carl Barat.
The album at times sounds unfinished and rough, but this is part of the charm in the same sort of way 'Up The Bracket' was. One critisism of the album is that there are too many tracks, some of which could have been scrapped to form a much more complete album. Tracks such as 'Merry go Round' and 'Back from the Dead' off nothing, in comparison to the already hit anthems of 'F*** Forever' and 'Killimangiro'
Overall 'DownIn Albion' will never be a true classic but deffinatly worth a listen, even ...
Advantages: encouraging continuation of a diverse form of indie/alternative Disadvantages: tough cookie to crack
This album is quite simply an ironic insight into what people sound like when they are writing and performing music simply for the personal satisfaction, and for the satisfaction of the many adoring fans who wish to thrust themselves 'pon Pete Doherty and his band of merry men:

1) the lyrial content. Those who were fans of The Libertines will know Pete Doherty is a man who posesses a way with words, and this is demonstrated, with no exception, in "DownIn Albion". This is obviously only ...
Advantages: I guess it's nice to see familiar faces Disadvantages: Annoying, unfunny, jangling music
old as me!), and was written by, and starred, the late, lamented Ronnie Barker. It is almost a silent film, in that none of the actors actually say anything coherent, although we do hear them grunt, gurgle and make other unintelligible noises. And there is a soundtrack that includes music and other noises - by 'other noises', I mean sounds such as the flushing of toilets (a big part of this film), the moving of objects and the clinking of plates and glasses. Sounds weird? It is. But is it funny? Well, obviously some people find it so - look at the entry for Futtocks End on imdb.com as proof - but I personally thought it was dire.
There are two main characters really. One is Colonel Futtock, played by Ronnie Barker. Futtock is a bumbling old man, set in his ways and fond of his privacy. However, the house party does mean that he gets ...
