Dan R Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I like some of their older bluesier songs, but listened to the latest album and thought it was a desperate, pandering attempt to get some mainstream recognition. Shaping their craft to fit the masses, not in a dissimilar way to Kings of Leon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jump Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Has your thought it that the eeeee's relate to Doherty and recent Barat NME info. The Libertines to reform and play before The Cure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vieuphoria Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I'd love to see The Libertines back again. Best performance of that year by far. Would have preferred they left it a year and headlined... but can't have it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza_20 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Just to say. There is still no reply on teitter to the tweets to them and they're members on there. Wasn't it said that if they were and couldn't say they wouldn't say anything? Though they have replied to posts that are not cnnected directly to those posts since.

thesecretingredientiscrime Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) I'm not. Note I didn't say at the festival as I couldn't be sure they would be. I just said it'd happen. That could be an arena tour or anything. it's how everything starts. Doherty solo, Barat solo. Libs new tour.

The Mean Bean Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 After all the hype I'd heard surrounding El Camino I was pretty disappointed when I heard it, sure it's an entertaining enough record, it's very accessible and easy to listen to, pretty catchy and got plenty of energy, but it's really not as special as I'd been led to believe it was. However, provided they don't clash with anybody I'd rather see, I'll go and watch them, see if their live show is as good as I've been told it is.

Vieuphoria Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 They'll never improve on Thickfreakness. But I do quite like El Camino, more than Brothers anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightning1000 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Thickfreakness is brilliant. I prefer brothers to el camino though. I like the blues influences that run through that album. Next girl is a personal favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcticDan Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 When i saw them last month they played about the same off Brothers as El Camino ( about 7 off each) 3 off Attack & Release then 1 off each of the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtymookie Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I never said "sell-out". I was merely making the observation that I don't consider the indie pop styling of a lot of the stuff on the latest album to be as artistically credible as the bluesier songs of the past. They're certainly not above such a criticism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithium05 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 So you think they should continue making the same kind of album? Are you a Nirvana fan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
