The Libertines burst onto the scene with 'Up the Bracket', a debut album so confident and consistent that the easiest way to describe it is 2002's answer to 'Is This It'. Virtually every song on 'Up the Bracke't is chock-full of the same kind of bouncy, aggressive guitars, expressive, economic drums, and irresistible hooks that made the Strokes' debut almost too catchy for the band's credibility.
