[kj] OT - Libertines... good or horrible

[MARK SAXTON]

Me too, proper wank ; really cannot get into them; hype indeedy; though out of more recent bands I do love Interpol and British Sea Power and that 1st Departure single was pretty good.

If the music was half as good as the hype then tehy would be great. But it really isn't up to the mark.
My wife bought the album. Played it twice. That was one too many .
I think the fact that they are managed by Alan MCGee (sp??) who owned Creation records counts for a lot. Plus they probably have the same dealer as a lead writer at NME.

True enough that they have a fanatical follwoing. My mate took some photos at the Brixton gig and told me that there were 14 yr olds bottling of the support act!

I'm betting they've got a fare few fans here.  Can someone explain the appeal of them?
 
I've got a soft spot for their crack-addled lead singer (he used to write a QPR fanzine back in the day!) but the music seems just soooo utterly without merit.
 
There is no balls to it, it sounds like it's being played by 15 year olds and he sings much like a drunk fergal sharkey.  yet they are proclaimed as the saviours of rock and roll.
