Total NPOV Break?[edit]

It just seems to me that the article for this album reads more like negative review than a neutral article on it. In particular the part about how it was "lazy, suffered from bad production and failed to live up to the standard of Doherty's previous material". I'm not how anyone could really say that in any objective sense.

Is this really NPOV?

"the album has now been credited as a brilliant effort"[edit]

Er, any sources for this wild assertion?

The reviews are wrong[edit]

What a great album. It pisses on anything by Libertines (especially Up The Bracket- poo). I can hear so many different influences spanning decades- Floyd (Barrett in particular), Madness, Nirvana, Pixies, Robyn Hitchcock, Roy Harper, the list goes on. Unlike the critics, who seek albums that take months to record and even longer to produce, I applaud the production. I hate the way people expect everything to be so polished. The best stuff out there is in demo form- recorded with passion before it goes stale from being over played. One take for vocals, any imperfections will only be appreciated as time goes on (anyone heard Pod by The Breeders?). The late great Syd Barrett paved the way for this type of music and the likes of the Sex Pistols, New York Dolls and now Pete have followed suit. Rock on!
