Product Description

CD/DVD (NTSC/Region 0) version. This DVD comes with a 40 minute documentary of the making of the album featuring all four band members. There are also five live tracks taken from a session at the Boogaloo Pub a favoured haunt for our heroes over the past few years. This DVD will also feature the video to Delivery and also contains hidden extras. A broad range of influences shine through on this album, from the Kinks, through to punk, Stone Roses, a touch of Soul 2 Soul, 80s' indie, Madness, Blondie, Motown, Britpop and even one inspired by their UK number four hit single 'Fuck Forever'. Lyrically, the album captures the many facets of Peter's character: storyteller, lyricist, street poet, hopeless romantic and chronicler of British life. From capturing the feeling at sunrise after a night on the tiles, to delving into a self-destructive 20 year marriage ('Baddie's Boogie') this is an album of rare emotional breadth. The album even manages to immortalise Peter's doodle invention (and 'Down In Albion' cover star) French Dog in one of the album's highlights 'French Dog Blues' All songs are written by Peter Doherty, with contributions from Mick, Adam and the band. On 'Unbilotitled', Peter's old mucker Wolfman wrote some of the lyrics (the pair penned a top ten single in 2004 with 'For Lovers'). EMI.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as bad as expected, October 13, 2007

By	Lovblad (Geneva, Switzerland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After a catastrophic first album, Pete Doherty has actually managed to produce a much improved effort. The single Delivery is great. While his singing is not allways great the melodies and the playing is quite good. The main problem here is the production which is simply way too raw and renders the whole thing unattractive. But some of the songs do shine through and it proves that probably with some decent production, he could come uf with a good oor even very good album. Based on the first album and some of the Libertines's stuff, I almost did not buy it. I am glad I did.
