JoeDJul 6, 2006The only thing that could have made it any better would have been pete doherty. Near Perfect Album

AndrewAOct 30, 2006Let's say the obvious thing, better than babyshambles, worse than libertines. This is a nice record, but not mind blowing. If you are a fan of the genre you will enjoy it, if you are not, keep listening to the libertines and just give this cd a couple spins.

[Anonymous]May 29, 2006It may lack some of The Libertines' romanticism, but this effort shows that Carl was just as much a part of their creative force as Pete. An album-full of grotty, snotty indie punk anthems.

PaulWMay 8, 2006Lovin' it it sure is a grower, If you Love A Woman is a great song!,

Jenny*Jun 10, 2006Good listening, energetic indie-pop/rock. Instantly catchy tunes like Bang Bang You're Dead and Dead Wood but the rest grow on you very quickly.

JanRJun 5, 2006Very good record. This album is full of energy and I simply like it!

DanilioJul 24, 2006What irritated me about Dirty Pretty Things was that they were the next big thing even before anyone had heard their songs. NME giving the usual quotes about them such as ' Britain's finest new band ' 3 weeks before their record was released. Now that their record's been out 2-3 months most people realise they're actually quite average and not the next big thing

JamesCFeb 1, 2007The Libertines with a bit more precision. It's got the Midas touch.

JeffB.Jan 23, 2008An average album. Clean guitar playing when compared to babyshambles but lacks the excitement. Every song sounds the same and the album starts to become a tedious and boring listen. Barat is a better musician than Dohorty but he lacks the creativity and song writing ability. He needs Dohorty to add that spark that this album lacks. That intensity and knack for penning the perfect line.

DanONov 1, 2006Whats wrong with the critics they missed something here. I cant stop listening to this CD it is (without too much thought) my #1 album of the year. Solid from beginning to end and I do believe will stand the test of time. Awesome! buy it NOW

babyshamblesMay 11, 2006only slightly better than pete doherty's last effort, but still piss poor!

BobbyGMay 11, 2006Average indie/guitar-pop. Nothing special.
-
-
RodBMay 12, 2006Better that the shambolic musings of the junkie-libertine. No BS from Barat, just a promising debut album. Very good listen.

mariasMay 12, 2006Amazing! Totally caotic, vulgar, messy, gritty, everything we secretly loved about the Libs. Carl is a great songwritter, it shows that anger and an almost-nervious break down can create beautiful songs that are touching,damaging and sensual. Listen to "gin and milk" Carl is god.

SarahJul 8, 2006I literally can't stop listening! Who knew that Carl was hiding so much talent?

TylerDAug 15, 2006How lame. They got their name from a great film. What a lazy idea.

PaulOct 12, 2007Great, a very catchy collection of tunes on here. Not quite as good as the Libertines but miles ahead of Babyshambles.

OriI.Apr 1, 2008I was so disappointed when the Libertines have broken up, but this album definitely makes it a bit easier for me. What can I say.. They "gave me something to die for" once again.

jyotirmayadNov 12, 2006A solid effort that expounds upon the oft sloppy work of the Libertines. I will still be listening to this album after 20 years.

DeweyMAug 24, 2006Not The LIbertines but still quite good. After a few listens, you'll be hooked. Not a bad song on the cd.

Apr 7, 2011This isn't no Libertines, but Dirty Pretty Things have some punch to them. Waterloo To Anywhere is a good punk album that's catchy and rough. It's not the best album, but it's a decent album to listen too if you're in the punk kind of mood. B-

Waterloo To Anywhere is more pro and muscular than former endeavours, chiming more with labelmates Razorlight’s ambitious professionalism.
-
Smart; savvy; insanely resilient: 'Waterloo To Anywhere' is just the ticket.

Barat does a great job of revitalising the ramshackle thrills that the Libertines did all too briefly so well.
