Up The Bracket is a superb album fuelled by the great energy of punk but backed up with an old english romanticism and a light pop sensibility.The album relies on the fantastic double frontmen of Pete Doherty and Carl BaratMy key tracks are the fantastic "The Boy Looked At Johnny" with its sing-along dumbness, the explosive title track, the dirtily rough "Horror Show", the crooning "I Get Along" and the drunken sing-along "Boys In The Band", which expertly showcases Pete and Carl's playing off each other.There is a real sense of brotherhood throughout the album aided by Pete and Carl's english-influenced lyrics and punk guitar-playing.The album is, I believe, just as brilliant as the self-titled follow-up. 9.5/10
