Reviews (page 3 of 7)
Sounds sort of like a British version of the Replacements. I liked the album enough but it gets an extra star for how awesome Music When The Lights Go Down is. That track is a masterpiece.
Very good but I liked Up the Bracket more
Good aughties sound (similar to the Strokes for me) that is tight and driving without that college radio "etheral hum" that I think is overdone.
I’ve always liked the simple and raw sound of The Libertines and this is their best album in my opinion
One of the better 2000s indie/garage rock albums on here. I’d say it’s of a similar caliber as The Strokes. Rock on 🤘
Honestly, I expected to hate and at best be indifferent to this album. But honestly? It’s quite good. It starts off strong with “Can’t Stand Me Now” and has some other really good songs, including “Music When The Lights Go Out,” “What Katie Did,” and “What Became Of The Likely Lads.” Parts of it were a little dull and redundant, but overall it was a surprisingly solid album.
Genre: Garage rock revival, indie rock 2004 Standouts: Can't Stand Me Now, What Became of the Likely Lads, What Kate Did, Arbeit Macht Frei, Music When the Lights Go Out, The Saga, Road to Ruin, Excellent: 3.75/5
I enjoyed the timeless rock sound of this album.
First listen was okay, I kind of liked it. Second listen was better, I really liked it. A third listen may have had me in love, but we agreed to keep it casual.
Very fun!
I’m a sucker for a British accent. Good songs too!
Solid.
Good album! can't stand me now reminds me of a very specific time in my teens, this appeared on some kind of compilation CD. Now I have lots more associations with Luke who regails stories of the Libertines in the Medway scene
Loved these guys, too bad pete couldnt leave the heroin alone and they couldnt get along. Could have been much more from them. Great album
Favourite song - music when the lights go out
I liked most of this one. It kind of falls off though.
I kind of liked it. Punk garage rock with a clash sound. Will listen again.
Album cover screams mid-2000s angst. Can't Stand Me Now drops into a more garage/ska/punk vibe than I was initially anticipating. The mix is really claustrophobic, but otherwise, I actually enjoy the song. Music When The Lights Go Out is a lovely, sloppy jam. Rough edges, but the jamming is solid and I like the ascending guitar throughout. Narcissist also is a ripper, and I like the almost surf rock feel of The Ha Ha Wall that takes a darker, more proggy turn around the 1:45 mark. Intro to Campaign of Hate sounds a ton like a Primus song; carries a similar eeriness throughout. Album ends on a calm note with a stripped away acoustic song called What Became of the Likely Lads. I enjoyed this album way more than I expected to. Rough around the edges in the best way, with a lot of different styles in play. I enjoyed most of what I heard with little exception. Was anything mind-blowing? No. Will I listen again? Probably. Solid 4 / 5. - The Ha Ha Wall (Driving) - Arbeit Macht Frei (Skate Mix)
Very early 2000's, Strokes-like, short catchy tunes.
A surprise for sure. Never have heard of this band. Was very impressed with the guitar work. Has a garage rock meets indie... Maybe some blues inspiration in there. The best way I can describe this to non Libertines fans is that they have a Black Keys meets Arctic Monkeys feel to it. At glance from the artwork, I was thinking that was going to be another punk like band... And I was reluctant to hit play. But I was very pleased with what came after hitting play. I would like to revisit this album again at a later date and see if they still resonate with me. Solid listen.
Libertines sind absolute Klassiker für alle die Britpop/Indie Rock mögen. Das Album geht bisschen mehr in die punk Richtung, als die musik vieler anderer Interpreten aus dem Britpop, ich mag das aber gerne. Nur mit Pete Dohertys stimme tue ich mich ein bisschen schwer.
They burned brightly for a while.
Pretty decent mid 2000s indie rock. I had a good time listening to it, will listen again.
There are some solid tunes on this album. I’ll definitely check out some of their other stuff.
Perfectly nestled in the Brit Pop strain of early 2000s Garage Rock revival
British 2000s Rock Revival is my shit. I don't like it as much as the Americans and their Garage Rock revolution, but it's pretty good. Nonetheless, I think this is a lesser album of the subgenre. Good! Listenable! Lots of fun! Would have dug it in high school. But not excellent
And, with that, The Libertines had capitulated. The mountain that had offered upward trajectories towards fame, glory, drugs and whatever else was fancied had become too much and the air within it was now unbearable to take in. Regardless of the platonic love (and seeming protection displayed) spilled across the cover and the music, tensions had overflowed as though it were boiled tea in a paper cup and, as though it was it's wont to do, the British rock music scene was again left in a vacuum; which is fitting given everything here sounds ripe for dour and dire lifting and copying somewhere down the line. Yet none of that would sound as good and as dynamic as this. Possibly their very best or just as good as what came before. One of the last times British rock captured true lightning in a bottle. Favorites: Can't Stand Me Now, Don't Be Shy, The Man Who Would Be King, Music When the Lights Go Out, Narcissist, The Ha Ha Wall, Campaign of Hate, What Katie Did, What Became of the Likely Lads.
I used to listen to them in high school
bueno 👍
I was concerned as I realized after very little investigation that this particular record was included in some editions of the 1001 but not the one I was working off of. Usually these records are thought of as being groundbreaking or interesting at the time, and then are pulled for better stuff later. Often these are UK bands. I liked this record. It is "post punk" in every sense of the phrase. It might not be groundbreaking and may be overrated, but it has good energy and I enjoyed listening to it.
Awesome!
Was unfamiliar with this band.. I like this album enouyto give another listen..
I like the vibes, but the album didn’t hold my attention the whole time.
Another classic record from my youth. I think actually I heard this one in full before “Up The Bracket” and it totally holds a good space in my memories, but in retrospective I have to say it’s inferior to its predecessor and it drags in the middle for a good while. Having said that, songs like Last post on the Bugle, What Katie Did or What Became of the Likely Lads are awesome and a testament of why this record is on the list. I’ll give it a four and save the five for the debut record (it is on the list right?)
Era el moment i el lloc idonis. Amb la resurrecció del rock al nou mil.leni, es va crear el conjunt de circumstàncies ideal perquè sortissin bandes com The Libertines. Els seus primers dos discos (tornarien amb un tercer onze anys després) són documents impresicindibles d'aquells anys. Punk rock pulit i melòdic amb temes tan bons com 'Music When the Lights Go Out' o 'What Katie Did'. La personalitat i excentricitats de Pete Doherty ompliria centenars de pàgines de la premsa musica britànica aquells anys, però les seves incursions musicals allunyat de Carl Barat mai arribarien a apropar-se a la seva societat amb ell
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
Shades of The Clash, which only makes sense since it was produced by one Mick Jones. Even if they're not quite The Clash, this is still a damn good time. I still say these boys had the best amphetamines, which only makes me jealous and won't help this overall rating. Also, we lost the great Richard Roundtree today. I'd probably feel worse about that if I didn't already believe he'd been dead for years. You could say that has nothing to do with this album, and I for one won't argue with you if you decide that's a hill you want to die on. You do you, that's YOUR journey. For whatever reason, this album actually made me smile upon remembering Richard Roundtree's life. In his honor, I'm grading this up a notch.
This one is nice, actually. I was taken back by the cover art at first. But, aside from a song or two, this one was pretty cool. Rather than being a bit one note and forgettable, this one is still fun to sit through. Cool!
Zanney to the zaniest
Like a lot of songs on this album, it's actually quite a good album not favorite but still a good good album. MID to HIGH 7
Really good, has punk/dive bar vibes
Good
very nice
4+
Really dug this
Cool. Best one so far
The album cover sacred me... but this is actually pretty good. Some solid (kind of indie) rock.
Pretty solid honestly. I'm kinda going back and forth with rating this a 3 or 4. On the one hand I like that the mood of the album is consistent and I think that is a mark of an artist knowing how to craft an album as a unified piece of work. There are no songs seem like they shouldn't be on the album. My problem I come back to though is that I didn't fall in love with any songs. Maybe if I listened to more of it I would get more hooked, but I don't know if this is an album I would come back to.
The Libertines' self-titled album is a gritty and chaotic masterpiece that encapsulates the raw energy of the mid-2000s British indie rock scene. Released in 2004, it's a whirlwind of poetic lyrics and disheveled guitar riffs. Tracks like "Can't Stand Me Now" and "Music When the Lights Go Out" capture the band's tumultuous spirit. The album's production is unpolished, perfectly reflecting the band's turbulent journey. Though its rough edges might deter some listeners, "The Libertines" remains an iconic album that documents a chaotic moment in rock history, making it a must-listen for fans of the era and those intrigued by the band's rollercoaster narrative.
J'ai trouvé ca bon pour vrai. Garage punk rock band anglais. Ca aurait pu être vraiment moyen, mais il y ad e la variété dans les chansons. Les voix sont bonne et c'est bien produit, pas trop ''punk'' pour que je perde le gout apres un bout. Assez rock pour que je reste intéressé. 4.
Classic album. Not quite 5 stars, I will leave that for the best of that combines the choice songs from their first two albums. Some incredible songs, some incredibly forgettable songs. A bit of personal trivia - I was commissioned to design the poster for their first Australian tour around the time this came out. Pete left the band and the touring company swapped so my design didn't get used. As a consolation I got tickets to one of their shows. Unfortunately without Pete in the band it was a bit dull so I left about half way through
Peppy bar music, with an underlying anger and punkness. They are easy to listen to, but also fun to listen to. Drawling vocals and lyrics, feel like someone is telling you a story. They put together rockabilly, indie, rock, punk, almost a beach rock quality. I definitely hear a barely early Arctic Monkeys and Fratellis sound to them. Favorite Songs: Can't Stand Me Now, The Man Who Would Be King, Music When the Lights Go Out, Least Favorite: Tomblands, The Saga
Good grungy punk
Good for a wanker. 4 stars.
I mean, sure. It’s generic indie, but I like most indie anyway. Enjoyable - you know, even though I liked it, it’s not really noteworthy.
I didn't listen too close to it but I enjoyed what I picked up. A lot of it reminded me of an updated The Cure or something (specifically Just Like Heaven), with very quippy lyrical delivery and hazy production. 7/10
This was more enjoyable and catchy than I had expected.
A modern fusion of garage rock (in the same vein as Franz Ferdinand or Arctic Monkeys) with 60s British soft rock (Soft Faces or the Kinks). It's groovy and catchy with a raw bluesy live-sounding instrumental that takes influence from surf rock. Even hearing jazz in "The Man Who Would Be King". The chords and beats are basic, adhering to the punk style but with distortion put to the max. The vocalists conflict with each other in a fun way, singing different lines or scatting different noises. Tons of highlights, at least three quarters left some kind of impression. This is exactly my type of music, so I fell in love with most of these tracks. I heard "Up the Bracket" is even better so surely checking that out.
Better dan ik me herinner. Prima album.
Wow! I really liked this. Sort of Arctic Monkeys meets the Kinks. Great energy. 4 stars.
A pasty white, sweaty orgy that's got out of hand, but you're still going to join. Give us a hand job whilst I touch your wife's bits, Tony.
It shows such promise, I just wish it were tighter and more polished.
Albumčina
I’m a big Libertines fan- love the energy.
Yeah that was pretty good. I think I find a whole album of this middle of the road stuff fairly dull but this was more interesting than I'd given it credit for when I filed it away in my brain somewhere. Standout Track: Narcissist
3.5 / 4 stars
3.5 enjoyable, but missing something to push it to a 4
Very early Arctic Monkeys-like, but without much of the flavor. It was a pretty enjoyable record for me, but not too much incentive to come back to it. Strong 3
Tons of attitude and the songs are pretty strong.
Hell, I'll agree, the album is overrated, but it's still fairly good. I'm in an extra giddy mood today because I generated a British political Punk Rock album on the 250th birthday of the Evil Empire. This is a great way to protest this day! Favorite Track: "Arbeit Macht Frei".
Sings with a regional accent so the British press lap it up
This appears to have been loved upon its issue in the UK. Can't say I loved it as well but it was another decent album that, if it weren't for my quest for 1001, I wouldn't otherwise have listened to. And not like some others, I don't regret the choice.
No idea what this is. I guess it's okay but not really sure how this ended up on the list.
Not gonna lie, I was excited to get a break from the dad rock, but this was just ok. It's a decent indie rock album but not groundbreaking.
Bang average. Light 5
Upon hearing the vocalist on the first song of this album, I thought I was going to hate it. It grew on me through out the listen and, while I won't be adding them to my library to go back to, I ended up liking this one.
A very fun time. The music feels very lively and would probably be great to see live. However, doesn't really have anything exceptional going on. Favorite Songs: Music When the Lights Go Out, The Saga, Narcissist
This will probably be the first album where I've given up on the first day and will try again on the second. I got as far as "Music When The Lights Go Out" and was just generally hating nearly every minutes of this. Maybe it's the heat getting to me or the stack of work I need to do, but this album just feels like it's making my life harder right now. **************************************************************** Second listen through after a weekend away, "Can't Stand Me Now" is better than I remember it being, with vocals not being as whiney as disjointed as first perceived. In fact, with the low humming bass under it's crashy drums and fuzzy guitars, it was a pretty fun track. For similar reasons, "Last Post on the Bugle" was good too, though not as much as the first track. "Don't be Shy" had some pretty groovy guitar and bass, but the vocals killed it for me; whining breaks - even as a style choice to fit the lyric - never sound good. Found this out with Morissey. The guitar arrangements at the beginning of "The Man Who Would Be King" were really fun and the indifferent tone on the vocals contrasting with the lyrics was pretty great too. Before, I thought this track was the only one I sort of liked out of those 5 I managed. The descent into the pronounced cymbals and trumpets near the end of the track and subtle vocals gave it an edge of 'The Stranglers'; definitely my favourite so far. "Narcissist" into "The Ha Ha Wall" was incredibly fun, the transition between tracks was both seamless and unique which I really enjoyed. "Arbeit Macht Frei" was a good track, but the overly scratchy guitars turned me off of "Campaign of Hate". For whatever reason, I didn't much enjoy "What Katie Did" either. I think, for me, it leaned too much into the cutsie indie love rock sound that is deeply knackered now. I prefer them when they are aiming for something edgier in their sound. Other songs liked: "Tomblands" and "Road to Ruin". Overall, it had some good things going on and wasn't as terrible as previously remembered. Still, it's hard to see me listening to them often, but wouldn't complain if they came on in the mix. **************************************************************** This album has put me in a bit of a spin with how I am rating these albums, honestly. On the first day I listened, it sounded awful, like substance abuse on legs dragging itself to a musical finish line out of desperation rather than spite. Then the next day, this sounded like a riot; I was digging the bass, the vocals and lyrics. On reflection, I listened to "Scott 4" by Scott Walker before this album that day, and I wonder if that put me in a sort of 'different listening mode/mood' that was just deeply incompatible with The Libertines at the time. If I am clumping albums together (which admittedly I have been seeing as you always have a chance to go back and rate again), it's probably important to bear in mind going forward.
Perfectly fine British punk/indie. Sounds like something you'd hear playing a Tony Hawk game on your cousin's PS2.
Rock británico, se está volviendo un género interesante para mi Este álbum resulta muy bien metódicamente, las voces son armoniosas y a la vez hay momentos donde no necesitan ser así y calza muy bien en la propuesta que ofrecen What Katie Did es mi favorita Me gustó que al ellos realmente ser pioneros en esto, se ve que traían ideas sumamente frescas Muy disfrutable y recomendado
Jangley early 2000s British indie pop. Decent song writing and has catchy moments but there are a dozen other bands from the same time with the same sound but better. Possibly the most annoying album cover of all times, so they have that going.
Good
Why is this album rated as their best? I’ve always preferred Up the Bracket. That being said, that 2003/2004 run was generational.
3.5 favs: can't stand me now, what katie did, road to ruin
110626 11:09 3.5
Jangly indie pop, sloppy vocals, catchy melodies. I hated the production. Guitars panned to different sides with the volume levels way off.
Pretty mid 2000s indie rock
A very down the middle album, it’s inoffensive and some songs are good, but it was also a bit bland at times, this album didn’t push the genre further that much compared to other indie/garage bands
Middle of road for me
better than expected
I enjoyed this one quit a bit. A fun album, very energetic. The songs are good. Not exceptional, but good. It's one of this fun rock albums that I don't have a lot to say about. Nothing really special about the performances but solid from top to bottom. Some bangers but not mind blowing highlights. Middle of the road, but definitely enjoyable. A flat to decent 3 for me.
It's alright... I am realizing I don't care much for this type of music, but it is fine to give it a listen.
Liked this more than I expected after the first song. Lots of cool rock influences, and some of these tracks give me strong Modest Mouse vibes, and they’re one of my favorite bands ever, so this was a nice discovery
it ok
It took me a moment but I ended up enjoying it
Great album. A real breath of fresh air when it was released
some parts felt like an outro for a comedy show from the 90s anyway was quite good mostly
Caught my self enjoying this at times.
Fun especially the last track. But 1001? Idk. Three
Back in the 2000s, the British press was looking for a new band to push after the grunge and britpop scenes had died. They landed on The Libertines, for whatever reason. At least until the equally average Arctic Monkeys came along. So many other, better choices, but that's what they went with. Fair enough, I had plenty of mates who were totally devoted to them. And still are. I never got it. I still don't. I suppose I understand the visual appeal and the rebellious nature. But come now, the songs are just a bit naff, right? The sound lacks any edge, the vocals are rambling, the melodies twinkly and dull...had this released in the height of britpop, it would have been heralded as just another album. Time and context matters. Somewhere under all of the shitty production and amateur playing, there's perhaps something interesting to say, some songs which could have been crafted into something worthwhile in the hands of a talented band. Still, they had a reckless vibe and air of wnergy about them, and they were a rock band during a time of bland faff and celebrities being pushed and talent show shite taking over the airwaves, so they get a bonus star.
Not my vibe at all but didnt hate it
Oh boy. More forgettable generic British rock.
This album was decent enough. It was more reminiscent of post punk for me than something released in the aughts. I thought the last song was the best.
Listening to this album reminded me of multiple artists, depending on the song being played. At times it was reminiscent of U2 while other tunes mirrored rock bands like The Clash. I can’t say I hated it and in fact I enjoyed a couple of the songs. Not a bad listen in my estimation.
That's pretty good. I've never really listened to anything by them before. A definite 3.5 but not quite a 4.
Reasonably enjoyable, but not all that inspiring. That said, it certainly doesn’t deserve much of the hate it gets in the reviews.
Very average rock album. Not my favorite. Low 3. 2.6/5

Quite enjoyable close to a 4 star
canciones rescatables, not good, not bad. 3.5
Mejor que el album alternativo pasado. Def
A satisfactory fun rock record.
Ma sono gli strokes. Alcune hit
If you’re British, it doesn’t matter how mid you are, you’re getting on this list.
I wanted to like this more than I did. Still enjoyed it.
We will forever wonder how good The LIbertines could have been had Pete not drunk away his talent. This follow-up to Up the Bracket is typical of their output, part brilliant songwriting (Music When the Lights Go Out, What Katie Did, What Became of the Likely Lads), part thrown-together shambles and songs that escaped the cutting-room floor (almost everything else). The highs are high, the lows are annoying. I'll give it a 3.
3/5 Solid, didn’t find my interest piqued all that much though.
Another early-2000s garage-indie album with one or two hit songs and enough going on musically just to be passable but not memorable; the list's special
Pretty good fun. 3.5
honestly not even that bad but i was dreading it so hard
kind of fun, grew on me as it went on
Fun album. Favorite songs: What Katie Did, Music When The Lights Go Out
Lowkey ragged.
Very arctic monkeys sound. I like it but doesn’t stand out
Meh. Was classic indie English rock
It’s prob like 4 tracks too long but it’s an enjoyable listen. Would’ve really enjoyed an entire album of the faster and rawer stuff, like tracks 7-9.
A bit forgettable but I don't mind it. Nothing particularly exciting or interesting but every song is enjoyable enough.
Kind of a fun listen.
I appreciate the 1980s indie sound, and this is definitely accessible and exceptional at times. But it’s indie in the sense that they don’t seem to have a great deal of songwriting talent or prowess in their instruments. Good for them for making the old punk DIY aesthetic, but there’s nothing new here.
Catchy but not a huge amount of variety
Maybe it's the nod and a wink, cheeky chappy, music hall knees-up feel about this, but it doesn't rock my world. One or two enjoyable tracks but the rest of it is just meh. But I've boxed myself in by giving Michael Jackson 2* yesterday. So this will have to be 3*
It seems weird to me that this album was liked well enough that it would be called the third most overrated album of all time. It must have been much bigger in the UK than here in the US. It's not bad but it's not anything that I feel like anyone would have a strong reaction to, good or bad. It's middle of the road early 2000s indie. Was good for one listen but I didn't feel the need to play it again or play anything else from them. 3/5
It's fine, surprisingly poppy for a indie punk. Some good tunes but almost instantly forgettable.
Average early 2000 British band. Nothing special
Not bad
I was never as crazy about The Libertines as some of my friends, but I can't deny the impact they had on the UK music scene. As much as they risked being overshadowed by the behind the scenes drama, they did manage to back up the hype with some fantastic songs. Really fun to revisit this.
I think this would be really fun to see in concert. This was generally enjoyable dance/groove music, but most of the songs I couldn't get that much into. I shamefully quite enjoyed What Katie Did
me teletransporté a inglaterra en los early 2000. muy early arctic monkeys, skins, me gusta.
Good. Kept two songs
When this came up I expected to hate this however it wasn't quite as bad as expected. Nice production, ok songs, terrible singing.
Not bad. Good
The vocals on Don't Be Shy were pretty bad. Pretty cool outro on The Man Who Would Be King. Overall a pretty cute album melodically.
Generic 2010’s British indie sleaze
I was briefly excited by what I thought was a standout track...only to find that Spotify had moved onto autoplay and the artist was Bloc Party. So yeah, this album didn't grab me. Not bad, but unremarkable to these ears. 3.0
Well this was.... meh. It had some great moments, such as Can't Stand Me Now, What Katie Did and Music When the Lights go Out. Acoustic hidden track France was a really nice moment as well. Unfortunately the rest just sounds like 00s guitar music that just doesn't do anything special for me.
Phew… this one’s tough to rate. A band that once meant so much to me. First off, I much prefer the raw(er), immediate impact of their debut. OK, I’m biased because Up The Brackets basically rewired my teenage brain. Everything I heard back then had to measure up to it. Including the band’s own follow-up, self-titled one - And yeah; first listen? Massive letdown… Boy, was I disappointed. And in euqal mesureas was I pissed that they did not include “Don’t Look Back into the Sun” (not even as part of some stupid bonus track edition). Over the years, my initial skepticism faded: Partly because I don’t love the Libertines as much as I did back then anymore, partly because I realized that the highs (pardon the wordplay) are pretty amazing. I mean… “Can’t Stand Me Now” (the best “Don’t Look Back into the Sun” substitute there is), “Music When the Lights Go Out,” “What Became of the Likely Lads”: all messy, brilliant songs. But the lows are also pretty low. The mid-section of the record should have been trimmed; it’s frankly rather boring. Tracks like “Narcissist,” “The Ha Ha Wall,” “Campaign of Hate,” and “Arbeit Macht Frei” or the meandering "Road to Ruin" don’t add much, if anything at all. Then there are a lot of kinda OK songs and some that hinted at what was to come from Barât’s Dirty Pretty Things (“Tomblands”) and Doherty’s Babyshambles (“What Katie Did”). What I still appreciate after all these years is that it takes a lot of craft and talent to sound so nonchalant and charmingly dilettante. Good for Pete and Carl that they had such a tight rhythm section - credit where credit’s due to John Hassall and Gary Powell - that was able to compensate for their chaotic intertwining guitars.
BIen, surtido. Es un 3.5
Temu The Strokes.
*Unique and interesting early 2000s rock album.
Pretty solid modern post-punk here. What's turning me off though is the genre experimentation. They're at their best when they're channeling The Smiths through the 2000's indie rock sound. But then they have songs that weirdly sound a little like Primus or 50's diner music and while it's solid, it's not doing much for me. The garage rock style songs aren't really my thing either.
Pretty fun indie rock
This was an okay album, but it wasn't good. I was honestly a bit disappointed.
Much better than anticipated, this really sounds like the chaos surrounding a band of addicts
I enjoyed this, and there are some songs that I love - but overall? I don't quite see why its on this list. It's not bad, in fact it's good, but I think others did it first and better. Pretty sure its on this list due more to the drama surrounding the band members rather than the album being a must listen. Playlist Pick: Narcissist. hits my ear just right,
Cool!
#875. It says on the wikipedia article that it was voted the third most overrated album by the BBC. That would imply that it was initially highly regarded. Is that the case? Did people like this? I've never heard of them before, but this just seems pretty mid to me, and also seems like something that everyone else would immediately think was mid as well. But to be overrated, that would have to mean that a lot of people think that they like it, or at least used to? Weird. I will never try to understand the beans on toast people. 3/5: mid
Not bad
Can’t Stand me Now Last Post On the Bugle Music When the Lights Go Out What Katie Did Road to Ruin What Became of the Likely Lads
Can’t Stand Me Now Music When the Lights Go Out Narcissist The Saga What Became of the Likely Lads
I expected to hate this. Think of them as trust fund puppies making silly atonal retro mod rock before losing it all to fame and junk. But actually the album grew on me after the first couple of songs. I probably won't listen again, but for 45 minutes I was in a sweaty London club having a good time
On the fence with this one. Loose and fun sounding, and i can hear hooks in there that I might revisit. But it's hard to see beyond the hype. I'll no doubt give it another go later though.
Listening to mid poppy-punk and hearing about Pete Doherty really takes me back to my early teen years, so +1 star for the nostalgia value. Either a 2 or a 3
Starts off kind of annoying, partly the reason I don't like a lot of these mid-ought indie rock bands. But some of the tracks area really cool. The Man Who Would be King is the first one that made be stop and check what it was--great sound. I also liked Road to Ruin, which has a similar sound. Other tracks weren't bad, and may grow on me, but I'm not sure I'd go back to this album. 3/5
Boring+
Can't Stand Me Now opens the album energetically, suggesting we're in for a sort of punk/garage-rock experience. The terrible singing certainly checks out, as do the consistently short track lengths. In the opening track, the harmonica doesn't work with the rest of the sound at all – too many high frequencies all at once – though I respect the hustle. Last Post on the Bugle has repeating one-bar riff on the guitar, which you'd think would get old fast – but the changing chords underneath make it work surprisingly well (think the classic blues chart Money (That's What I Want)). Don't Be Shy takes a standard fast-paced approach, with a nice fadeout-ish lowering in texture at the end. The backing vocals stand out, though (unusually) they're kind of bad. You can tell these singers aren't well-trained. The first track that really made me stop and appreciate it was Music When The Lights Go Out. It's complex yet understated, more so than previous tracks. The lack of distorted acoustic guitar helps a lot. And the vocals – they're actually pretty darn good here. Lovely harmonising, great dramatic increase in texture (mostly in guitar and percussion) in the final chorus... there's a lot to compliment here. Arbeit Macht Frei, and the two tracks preceding it, go all-in on the punk-tinted glasses. And props to the Libertines – they generally make it work. But man, these songs are kind of... well, out there. What happened to normal, old-fashioned, solid songwriting? Enter What Katie Did, a seemingly straightforward groove that just does everything really solidly. Again the singing is unusually good, and (unlike earlier tracks) the basswork punches through the mix nicely. At the end of the album, we get a similarly solid track in What Became of the Lucky Lads, which is best remembered for its clean guitar licks, tight rhythm section, and sudden drops of texture to up the drama and energy. The addition of a hidden acoustic mini-track is respectable, if slightly overdone in the music industry. (Abbey Road will always be the OG.) 3/5 Key tracks: Last Post on the Bugle, Music When The Lights Go Out, What Katie Did
Completely missed this at the time; all I know about them is that one of the main guys has a heroic level of narcotics abuse. Kind of fun and energetic, though. Really probably a 3.4.
Como música de fondo, esta okay. Pero no me sentaría, le pondría atención y tomaría parte de mi tiempo en escuchar estas canciones
I remember when the Libertines came out and were dismissed as "English Strokes". I haven't listened to this album for a bunch of years, but it was fun to revisit it. It's not may favorite, but it's OK.
That mid Aughts sound. Has some bangers and some quite not banging
Fun album. There's definitely a resemblance to The Strokes, though not quite as good as them (the songs/melodies are not as catchy).
Another album best listened to broken up with other music because 1) his mumbly whiney vocals get old after 4 songs, and 2) the album is just too long. But for the singer, I can definitely see a world where this jangly, indie rock sound would be more appealing - say, with Julian Casablancas singing instead. Will try to give it another shot but not going to rate this higher than 3 given I doubt my opinion will shift substantially with subsequent listens.
Good album, fire songs
Getting vibes of Marquee Moon, the Smiths, the Cure.
The Libertines hit really hard when they arrived and they certainly had a lot going for them: catchy tunes, a good dollop of attitude, good looks and a certain edge. A lot to get the kids excited about. With 20 years of perspective, the album standing separate from the whirl of the buzz feels somewhat lacking though. It sounds a little like they were caught up in the hype surrounding them. The debut album might have been a better choice for the 1001.
It was okay but if I’m looking for this style of music I’ll stick with the Arctic Monkeys.
English garage band of the early 2000s. i have both their albums before they self-destructed with drug use and legal problems (apparently, they reformed in the last couple years). Mick Jones of the Clash is their producer. Personally, i think their other album, "Up the Bracket", and is a better choice for a list like this. songs that stood out for me are "Cant Stand Me Now", "Music When the Lights Go Out", and "What Katie Did".
I am glad I listened to for the exposure. But would not be my first, second or third choice to listen to again.
I kind of enjoyed this album. Sort of remind me a little bit of the white stripes. I think it’s a pretty good album but middle of the road probably.
not much to talk about here the songs arent that memorable but are fun to listen to 6/10 Favourite: Can't Stand Me Now Least Favourite: Tomblands
Claramente uma banda que ainda influencia muitas bandas (especialmente britânicas) hoje em dia. Muitas músicas fizeram me lembrar os primeiros albuns de Artic Monkeys, por exemplo. Ouve se bem.
Better than Coldplay
interesting mix of indie rock, punk, rockabilly. fun listen.
Pretty okay BritRock
Not bad, but nothing overly interesting.
This was pretty good. I know that it was rated as one of the more overrated albums of all time in 2005. I don't know about that, but I like the vibe that it gave off. It was fine
Alright
Helt ok
Jo det var väl trevligt!
3 timeless hits
Meh
Better than expected. Still in the genre of early 2000's basic indie rock, but much less bland than the Strokes and other crap.
Enjoyed some of it more than other parts. The more melodic tracks worked better for me than some of the noisier ones which was a fair amount. But still a cool listen for the 2004 UK time capsule that bottles a pretty grassroots feeling of nightlife raucousness. The fact that none of the songs feel too organized, none of the riffs too perfect, none of the choruses or vocals tuned by science, does make it feel authentic. Fav tracks: Music When the Lights Go Out, the Ha Ha Wall
Better than I expected, given the track record of British indie records from the early aughts on this list, but inessential nonetheless. 3⭐️
Same old same old
Strong 3
00’s Rock ⭐️Road to Ruin
3.5/5
A throwback to my youth, when indie bands were everywhere. I never was much of a Libertines fan, and this album hasn't changed my stance much. Half of it was decent indie rock, the other half sounded like drunken ramblings. Which is probably an accurate representation of the band. Still, enough to give it a 2.5/5.
I quite liked the single Time for Heroes, it was the first I ever heard of The Libertines but I never really took to them after that, there was a fair bit of hype that I just didn’t get swept up in. There were a couple of big singles on this album that are decent but I can take or leave them. That said, I quite enjoyed listening today, it’s nothing ground breaking, I can quite happily listen along but wouldn’t be itching to revisit either.
I think the only time i have heard The Libertines mentioned was from Frank when we were 13, maybe a few times since. He was a big Libertines guy, maybe still is?! This time through I was sort of shocked at who I thought they were and the reality. A lot more accessible than they appeared in my early teens. Reaction after one time through is they have an awesome sound but the songs themselves didn't grab me. Will leave the door open for the Libertines.
When I was a kid, maybe 12 or 13, I heard 'Time for Heroes' (from their first album) on the radio one night and thought that the Libertines were here to save rock n roll. I became obsessed with that song, and that album ('what a waster,' and 'dont' look back into the sun) , and was fully drawn in by Doherty's Byronic 'elegantly wasted' poet persona. There is something so appealing about self-destruction, isnt there? Still, the problem is that being elegantly wasted all the time is that doesn't work in the long term, and about two songs into this follow-up album you can already hear the band running out of ideas. The ramshackle sloppiness doesn't feel like an artistic statement anymore, as it did on the first album. Here it's the best they are capable of. Can't stand me now is cool, but the other single 'music when the lights go out' is stale and trite. While I still do think Doherty COULD have been one of the best musicians of his era, and he has flashes of brilliance both here and in babyshambles (fuck forever and albion are both great songs) the truth is, in the full accounting, he blew it. He had all the talent and charisma in the world. But now that its all said and done, its clear: very few people have done less with more than Pete Doherty.
Album was fine, sounded very reminiscent of the time. I liked a good amount of songs off the album
This was ok drug-addled rock and roll/punk. Honestly, I found that it was decent background music, nothing more. Are these guys still alive??? Liked Songs Added: Don't Be Shy
not for me the, not for me now 2.5
3.9
Some highs, some uninspired moments. Overall good
Expected this to be awful but it’s pretty listenable. Each track sounds somewhat derivative but it’s a lively album.
3+
First listen
Fine - a couple that I recognise but nothing really moved me
I really don't feel like I needed to get this album before I died. There are plenty of strokes inspired sleaze rock albums from the 2000's that are better
Quite enjoyable
3.5/5
It was interesting to listen to some garage rock from the UK side, but ultimately this was pretty forgettable. Not bad though! Best Track: What Became of the Likely Lads
Very average, English rock album. Expected more
Genuinely enjoyed this album!
Another pleasant surprise. I was not familiar with the Album or band. A good, clean indie rock album with a minimalist approach to music.
i enjoyed this, love a good bit of garage rock
Was going to say these guys have some songs that remind me of Arctic Monkeys, but I guess the other way around would be more appropriate.
Very much the 2000s indie UK band, but at least can claim to a bit more exceptional to the mountain of rubbish released during that period. 3.5*
This is 2000's British indie rock, with a little bit of a punk edge: in other words, it's kinda Arctic Monkeys before Arctic Monkeys, and I can personally hear The Strokes in here a little too. It should come as no particular surprise that this is fine. I'd say, it's slightly less interesting than prime Arctic Monkeys, but The Libertines do still have some merit. This album does have some well-written, catchy indie rock songs. Can't Stand Me Now, Music When The Lights Go Out, and What Katie Did are all pretty infectious. And I dig some of the songs here where they let their punk side talk a little more. Last Post On The Bugle, The Ha Ha Wall, Campaign Of Hate, Tomblands, and The Saga ended up being my favorites here. There're enough good songs that the whole experience ends up enjoyable. Besides, the lyrics seem interesting, the performances are tight, and the energy is largely there. It's a pretty decent indie rock album.
12/27/25. British punk is eh. Didn't hate it, didn't love it. 5/10.
Good evening though it's kind of repetitive but a good length. 3.5
Pretty good. Less catchy than some contemporaries
Like the Kinks for the 2000s. Not bad, but not inspiring either. 3/5
This was fine...felt relatively inoffensive Honestly, in one ear, out the other. Not bad but not something I'd listen to again.
We return to my old favourite: whiny white boy music. There’s just something that I enjoy about it. Lyrics may not be there consistently. But the musicianship is good as they meander through different styles. 3.5/5
I've only listened to Can't Stand Me Now by them before this listen. Overall, I like the messy British garage rock sound but found them too repetitive and vocally uninteresting. They're a little too messy to listen to alone in my room, would be fun to be in a crowd for. Found myself connecting to Music When The Lights Go Out and was disappointed when they decided to splatter-paint its sound halfway through.
3.1 2x
This was one of my favourite albums 15 years ago when I was big in my indie phase and thought my music taste was vastly superior to everyone else’s. It’s still decent to revisit, but it’s nowhere near as seminal and amazing as I once thought.
Not my cup of tea.
Good punky indie album but nothing extremely noteworthy.
This has a nice bluesy, punky sound to it that I like & the two leads seem to have good chemistry together. Their voices are dime-a-dozen Brit punk voice but it's nice. Giving this a 3.5 because I think it may be forgettable. I also vaguely remember the Daughtry name in tabloids for whatever reason. Something Something Amy Wainhouse. I have a poor memory.
Barely a 3. Would listen again. Girls thought it was a 2.
The Libertines' self-titled album is a very 2000s-esque brit-rock record, much akin to The Strokes or The Kooks. Yet underlying each track, even the more melodically cheerful, is the sense of conflict simmering within the band. It manifests itself in aggressively played guitar and fiery duets, but also in the dynamic changes of the softer songs. This is a record not particularly inventive or experimental, but still holds up well amongst the pantheon of other garage rock bands.
70s skinny british guy music but in 2004
British indie, unremarkable
Pretty alright stuff.
Ok, not great
Another good not great UK Indie Punk band / album. Totally fine. Enjoyed it. Just too much out there that sounds similar.
They definitely have a unique sound, but not one I am super interested in. The album is good, but not something I am not going to return to. Mid 3.
Interesting album with. Familiar sound. Not necessarily my vibe but I did catch myself enjoying a couple of songs
I enjoyed this album, their sound is very familiar
I like the guy that called this landfill indie. That about describes it. Not bad, but not really anything, either. The track lengths of every song spontaneously getting cut in half on Side B makes it seem like they really wanted it to be over, or maybe they wanted to cram in as many songs on the back end as possible. Either way, eh.
I thought i was intimately familiar with this album but hadnt listened in a while. This is one of the few albums that was after my time. I was mid 30's when it came out and it was taken up by those in their 20's in the indie scene as the return of a messiah. I think that was because there had been a desert of decent mainstream indie previously (see "landfill" indie). Regardless this was very much of the zeitgeist and i spent many a happy evening with these singles slipped into the Leadmill (rip) playlist. I went in expecting this to be an easy four and was suprised. It turns out that there is a lot of rubbish in this album. Pete's vocal can be incoherent at times and the lyrics have the whiff of GCSE english origional poetry. However, when this is good it can be very good. Great, rabble rousing, bounce along indie pop. Barats guitars are the real star here and some of these songs deserve their place in the pantheon.
Całkiem spoczko. Nie wiem czy jedna z najlepszych płyt wszechczasów, ale przyzwoity indie rock. 3
Not great
There's a song that was used on Children of Men on this album. It's less than two minutes long. That was the highlight.
Pretty alright. I feel like I've heard better, but it didn't bore me either.
Album 954 of 1089 The Libertines - The Libertines (2004) Rating : 3.5 / 5 This one’s often talked about as one of the great modern indie rock albums, and while I did enjoy it, I can’t quite connect with all the hype. It’s a solid record - well-written songs, nice production, and an energetic performance that captures the band’s chaotic charm. There’s no doubt they had a unique chemistry, and that raw, slightly ragged sound gives the music its personality. But the comparisons I’ve seen - to The Beatles, Oasis, and others - feel a bit overblown. To me, it’s just a good, straightforward indie rock album that delivers exactly what it promises. It’s got a nice blend of attitude and vulnerability, and even if it doesn’t hit legendary status in my book, I can see why it meant so much to others. Definitely worth another listen down the road. Maybe I'll be proven wrong.
Es stach zwar nichts heraus, aber ganz nett.
It’s good, but it’s not their best. Nowhere near the levels of Up The Bracket but then I expect that’s the heroin and inter band tensions contributing to that.
Not sure how this album got passed over when it released, maybe they were a little past their niche time which probably would’ve fit in better in the late 70s, but for what it is, it’s an interesting mix of power punk that’s worth listening to
yeah sure. its guitar rock and i like that but its something that i cant really get into. dont know what.
This was nice to listen to, but not quite memorable enough to be considered above average.
I really liked this one. I would say this is modern rock but has a very classic vibe!
It's a good album, with deep lyrics. It seems a live album, with a lot of energy and hesitation sometimes.
Nice album to listen to, but doesn't hit the replayability mark for me
Oh so this is what Pete Doherty is famous for? Growing up in Britain, I was somehow aware of him without ever having listened to one of his songs. Turns Libertines’ music isn’t bad, but nowhere near as good as their cocktails
This was one of the most 3/5 records ever. There was nothing remarkable about it but I enjoyed it. Sounded like a big combination of a bunch of different British indie.
This feels like a conglomerate of all British rock ever. It’s The Cure, Morrissey, The Clash, The Kinks and The Beatles all in one. Which makes this fun. There's definitely a few songs that got me stoked, but mostly it was just kind of whatever. Enjoyable, but not really sure why its on this list.
I’ve never been fully sold on these likely Libertine lads - I think critics were wooed by the ramshackle rock’n’roll romance of their sweaty shows and offstage antics rather than the quality of their music. That’s not to say they were complete Emperor’s New Clothes though; there are plenty of good songs on here (more than I expected to be honest), with Music When the Lights Go Out the pick of the bunch. If they cut out some of the generic, ‘could be any 00s indie band’ filler they could’ve had a great album here. 3 / 3.5
Real "we have the strokes at home" energy.
This was a fun album to go through
Sounds like fairly generic British punk rock. Some of it can be a little catchy, but nothing really stands out. And whoever thought adding harmonica to the opening track was a good idea, was definitely drunk.
Enjoyed, didn’t love
Pretty bog standard brit pop sound, but it sounds decent enough.
Enjoyed it
Despite loving some of the Libertines’ output, I found this one quite overrated. It starts and ends well, but there’s a lot of short, nothingy tracks that don’t feel particularly well thought out or performed. Up the Bracket is much stronger.
Another album where the music is baseline fine, but wholly unremarkable. I genuinely get confused about how many albums like this wound up on the project. I typically enjoy music like this, but there are artists who, in my opinion, have done this style in more noteworthy ways that deserve spots on this project. But I digress. 2.5, I guess I'll round up.
I really enjoyed some of the sounds, riffs, and tracks on this album. However, I found most of the sound relatively flat and the album as a whole uninteresting. 3/5
Throwback britpop, but lacking heart or something unique to grab attention
I didn’t think this was too bad, and actually kind of liked it. Not sure that I’ll listen to it again, but if it popped up somewhere, I wouldn’t mind it. It’s the definition of a three star album for me.
I have a lot of nostalgia for the Libertines and this reminds me of student clubs with sticky floors, and probably purple stains on shirts from drinking snakebites. The album itself has not aged super well, compared to some of their contemporaries like Arctic Monkeys and Strokes, it's not as good. Pete Doherty can't really sing but the music has a strong vibe of British punk bands which gives the songs a nice punchy feel. Some good tracks and some forgettable ones. I prefer Up The Bracket to this one but it's decent
I've listened to this album quite a lot as a kid, one of the many CDs my dad just sort of let available for me to burn onto my computer. Before I listened to so much music that my big shuffle folder went beyond insane for even a big music listener, I had maybe 15-20ish albums that I would always hear a few songs every other day or so: The Cars was one of them. And man oh man,. does this album have hooks for days. So many hooks, it's impossible to not hear this album and not have something linger in your head for at least a week. The Cars came at the right musical year of 1978: when the initial wave of punk rock is starting to distillate into a post-punk world, The Cars approached the crossroads of old school rock and roll and the emerging new wave/synthesizer driven music that was to become a big force beyond the disco era. They managed to combine both avenues like how Roxy Music approached glam pop with progressive rock, and make it work. The Cars were one of the big bands of the late 70s (and to very specifically note, again, not the 80s just yet) to make pop rock work with synthesizers to such a degree that it still has that futuristic sound that they went for. Almost ageless, if you don't notice the partially sarcastic lyrics from songs that became used in so many commercials that the sarcasm has been scratched away. In short, The Cars is a solid pop-rock album that helped define New Wave in its infancy. Still sounds great, has its legacy, yadda yadda yadda.
good album
fine but forgettable
-i don’t dislike this. there may be something vaguely annoying / kitschy about it but it’s fun. nothing revolutionary as far as garage rock goes imo but it kinda creates its own aesthetic -Favorites: Don’t Be Shy, The Man Who Would Be King
Good. Not great.
This sounds like the music of my teenage years. Even though this came out when I was 6 years old. It just has that quality of british bands I was obsessed with at 15, like the 1975 and Scouting for Girls. Obviously this is a much cooler, more punk version. But I think it's the perfect grown up teenage album. It's new to me but evokes the feelings I loved from music when I was in high school I really enjoy this! I don't think it's the best album I've ever heard, the voices can get quite grating. But I still think it's quite good.
Fine listen, not necessarily something I'm compelled to revisit. Important historically as an exampel of the early 2000s garage rock revival from the UK end.
Indie sleaze has a special place in my heart. This one is ok, the Strokes are better. But Can’t Stand Me Now is a classic though.
This is punk-adjacent indie rock, and they sound very nostalgic for The Clash at times. But there is a splash of new wave here too, and some more mainstream brit-rock creeping in (also some errant horns and harmonica!). The vocals are...bad? I'm sure they work when mixed down on stage, but it's hard to hide in the studio. All in all, this is kind of a choppy experience and you never know what the next track will give you. Some tracks, like "Music When The Lights Go Out" can't seem to pick a tempo to last 3 minutes and vacillate back and forth between frenetic and meandering. If Carl & Pete's relationship was the same way, it's no wonder they broke up. Part of my thinks I would have enjoyed this if I heard it in 2006, but I don't think it would have made it into my CD rotation for the same reasons it won't today. But I probably would have seen them live. “Can’t Stand Me Now” - The big hit, based on the Spotify streams. A solid, slightly new wave, opening track with a surprise harmonica appearance in the outro. "Don't Be Shy" - Nobody should write songs with high notes that they can't hit. Especially in the chorus. "What Katie Did" - even on this rollercoaster, I didn't expect a 'shoo wop' song.
This album has a couple good tracks, but nothing I would come back to.
One of the most 3/5 albums ever. Quite decent but I’ll never remember it. And whaddya know the global ratings’s a perfect 3.
Not as good as Up the Bracket, but enjoyable. Standout songs The man who would be king Narcissist Road to Ruin

A band for whom I was very much present for the hype; the music press 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 of the depravity porn than The Libertines provided. I'm not going to judge the music by Pete Doherty's sad drug problems or the obsession with his and Carl Barat's tumultuous relationship but I do believe the relentless column inches drove far more attention their way than the tunes deserved. The early-noughties version of engagement bait, if you will. And so, the tunes. Could they find catchy little guitar hooks? Occasionally, sure. Did they turn those into consistently decent complete songs? Seldom. Can't Stand Me Now is the closest they came on this LP, which was somehow recorded in between Carl and Pete having fist fights, Pete being strung out on smack, burgling Carl's flat and subsequently doing time in prison. But they muddle through thirteen more really-quite-average garage rockers without much in the way of technical proficiency or lyrical nuance. I can absolutely forgive a lack of ability - tunes teased out of instruments played with passion before young, keen bandmembers quite know what they're doing - fine by me if they're good tunes. But I don't even really hear many tunes being teased out here and I wonder how much of the teasing is thanks to Mick Jones' presence in the studio. While I may well have been caught bopping once or twice to Can't Stand Me Now or the criminally non-album-despite-being-recorded-around-the-same-time, Don't Look Back Into The Sun (easily the best Libertines song ever made), I never quite boarded the bandwagon in 2002 and I'm not particularly tempted to now. I get why it's here but I don't really need it in my life these days.
Listens: 2 Standout Tracks: What Katie Did Middling at best. It's like a toned down Arctic Monkeys; I'd rather just listen to them instead.
An enjoyable entry from a very narrow genre (2000s indie rock where the singer has a notable British accent). I didn't like this as much as I enjoy the Arctic Monkeys, but I did like it!
Their second album. Indie Rock. I went to their early gigs and had a great time. They had really good energy. Can't Stand Me Now is a good track to open with. From there I liked the pace of the album. It's cheeky and punchy with some gritty lyrics. I like The Ha Ha Wall too. Also, imagine going to your record label in 2025 with Arbeit Mach Frei on your album. Decent album although I prefer Up The Bracket.
This album was a pretty good punk album, especially for something more modern. It didn't bowl me over, but it was fun and easy to listen to.
Pretty bland? I mean it's not terrible but also not great. Why can we have this but no Tool? 3/5
This was pretty good, good band, good british rock.
Enjoying Libertines more than I expected, feels like a solid 3 to me
An album for bros you don't see eye to eye with. Sprinkle some Kinks on a layer of smiths and you have the valentines
Ok alt rock.
Some of these tracks think a bit too much that they're Saying Something. But in general it's a punky kinda vibe that you can just relax and listen to in the background. I like "Road to Ruin." The good parts outweigh my annoyance at the attempted importance.
I forget if this is good or bad... enjoyed but nothing stuck with me. For numerologists, 650/1001
