Dirty Pretty Things - Waterloo To Anywhere

I don't know if it's better than "Up the Bracket" yet, but it's a fuck of a lot better than Babyshambles, I'll tell you that much.

Not because I'm afraid I'll like it, but because I'm afraid it will be RUBBITCH and it will destroy my illusion of Carlos being the talented one held back by Crack Patch Kid's fuckwittery.

Poor boy has been hittin' the pies in his Guardian photos, though. Awww.

And Henrietta, give it a listen. It reminds me of why I liked Barat so much to begin with.

I'm not really getting into this album. It seems to confirm my suspicion that Pete was the very talented, immensely poetic brain behind the best Libertines songs. And dammit, I still feel that their hype overshadowed the fact that their first album was one of the best albums to come out in recent years. It was at least as good as the Strokes album, IMHO.

The first Lib record is amazing. I would buy it all over again just for Pete's backing vocals on Boys In The Band(And Now I'm jealous, I'm jealous of my own..)

And I've got some hope for the second DPT album.. Heard one or two of the new songs and read some of the stuff carlos wrote about the process and it sounds good enough to me.
