We Say...
Were it not for the longueurs that sets in part-way through — around the time Pete Doherty falls back on a few too many limp white-reggae grooves — Down in Albion would be a powerful collection of missives from the other side of the track-marks. The band's stall is set out in "La Belle et la Bête," a suitably shambling indie-punk jaunt recounting "the story of a coked-up pansy/who spends his nights in flights of fancy," and cemented by further autobiographical jottings like "What Katy Did Next," the prison ode "Pentonville" and the mixture of drugs and treachery in "8 Dead Boys," where mercenary addicts will "give you a line and then call you a waster." For Doherty, dissipation is neither accident nor tragedy, but almost an ambition — even if the road of excess has yet to lead him to the palace of wisdom. What it clearly has led to, though, is a handful of ramshackle but catchy outsider anthems like "Pipedown" and the single "Fuck Forever."
