Our Take

The Libertines burst onto the scene like a group of unruly, lovable rogues with their debut album "Up the Bracket." From the opening chords of the title track, it's clear that this is an album that doesn't hold back. With cheeky lyrics and raw, energetic instrumentation, The Libertines capture the reckless spirit of youth in a way that is both infectious and endearing. Tracks like "Time for Heroes" and "Boys in the Band" are anthems for a generation of misfits and dreamers, while slower ballads like "Radio America" showcase the band's softer, more introspective side. Pete Doherty and Carl Barat's vocals intertwine in a chaotic dance, conveying a sense of camaraderie and conflict that is as captivating as it is chaotic. The production on "Up the Bracket" is delightfully lo-fi, adding to the album's gritty, DIY charm. Each song feels like it was recorded in a dingy East London flat, with the sound of beer bottles clinking in the background. It's a raw, unpolished sound that perfectly complements the band's raucous energy. Overall, "Up the Bracket" is a rollicking good time from start to finish. It's a reminder of a time when guitar music reigned supreme, and bands could still get away with being a little rough around the edges. The Libertines may have been a messy bunch, but damn if they didn't make some of the most exhilarating rock music of their time. Cheers to that.
