It might surprise a few people to learn that I quite like the new Babyshambles album. Its as dishevelled as a dog in the rain and it features some of the worst singing since .......ever. But I kind of like the whole on the edgy feeling of it and the fact that beneath the mess there are some quite pretty melodies. Of course its no better than a particularly shambolic Close Lobsters gig circa 1986 but still I'd rather listen to this than the zillions of polished to within an inch of their lives posh boy indie bands with which we are continually inundated. The LP isn't here yet  - Docherty's left them in the pub.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
