Babyshambles - Down In Albion Review
Album title - Down in Albion by Babyshambles
Babyshambles, a complete sham.
I was lent this album by a friend who claimed it was 'f**king brilliant', it turned out to be f**king awful. My friend must have the Doherty bug. To start with the good news, Pipe Down is an alright listen and 8 Dead Boys most resembles Babyshambles live shows in that it has a little passion to it while the rest of the album is slow, uninteresting waffle. As hinted, their lives shows generally seem to have a bit of passion and a spark to them but this has been totally lost in this overly and badly produced album. I was quite excited about this band after hearing them play F**k Forever on Radio one, but F**k Forever is now lost forever having gone though the studio. The same applies to Killamangiro which has lost its original buzz heard on the single due to terrible over production. The less said about the rest the better, save perhaps the title track Down in Albion. While not a very inventive or clever song, it has a bit of heart to it and merits a listen. The album as a whole, however, is not worth the money. While it has good parts these are few and far between and you’d be better off just downloading them.
