Waterloo to Anywhere was sound but it doesn't hold a candle next to Up the Bracket. Pete was always the better of the two IMO, though I feel his lyrical genius is somewhat palliated in his work with Babyshambles. And the Libs s/t was v dissatisfactory in comparison to its predecessor. If I want my Pete fix, I'll turn to his solo tunes and UTB.

I blame the London based media. The Libertines were right on the NME's doorstep Hoggboy were like 200 miles away in Leeds.
They never stood a chance. |
I kinda dig this album yeh it's got a very "retro" feel to it, reminds me of the Black Velvets. It's a pity they didn't break big because I know the public would LAP up them catchy riffs.
