    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.

  1. Occasionally veering into rakish skiffle in an annoying hat, it’s not quite the righteous sword-slash of vindication prayed for by fans; still, it’s a relief to see Doherty’s muse in surprisingly rude health.
  2. Pete Doherty has just dropped one of the best indie rock records you’re likely to hear this year.
  3. Shotter's Nation has no stand-out moments. Delivery is about the best of the bunch, but it's no rival to anything The Libertines ever did.
