    Street entirely avoids DIA's flinty spectrality and staticky crackle and turns a bright light on the smart, compact and relentlessly exciting arrangements he's here coaxed from the band.

    Doherty's presence, which is monumental, overpowers the rest of Babyshambles: Drew McConnell, Mick Whitnall, and Adam Ficek. [Fall 2007, p.72]

    The second album from the glorified solo project Babyshambles is a half-baked abortion. [Dec 2007, p.184]

    This is a classic - still listening to it months every day later.

    I like this CD...esp. with all the hype around Pete Doherty and his endless antics with drugs, models and what not... He has a lot to say, even though it isn't the best of what is good in life. Anyway, I don't understand all the "10s" he's getting here from the fans, but I respect there opinions. I reserve my 10s for uncompromising genius and entertainment: "Nirvana" anybody?… Expand

    Mediocre songwriting, especially by comparison with the indie competition. Doherty can't sing and his lyrics are rubbish. I guess that's what a diet of crack and junk does to your brain cells.… Expand
