An amazing collection of standards from a true giant.

The Libertines

3/5

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

3/5

Start to finish a interesting collection of 80s alternative new wave music
