Yeah, I couldn't even get through that song, Pete sounded awful, "out of tune" would be putting it mildly

God, yes. I love it when recorded songs sound a bit "raw", like The Libertines, but this one just sounds like a bad rehearsal, and it's a bit too repetitive for my taste.

I haven't listened to all the songs yet, actually I'd forgotten their album was out

YAYYYYYYYYY!!!!! Babyshambles are incredible.
I entered a competition when I was younger and actually won! I received a Babyshambles tshirt in baby pink. Not at all what I expected but still fun.

Thanks for sharing! I love the first two and the fourth... and this video definitely sold me on the new album!
