Album Review: Babyshambles - Sequel To The Prequel

There's something rotten in Denmark when someone like Pete Doherty starts pumping out music that seems like it was recorded with Blur at the mixing console. Sequel To The Prequel has a quality that harks back to the heyday of Britpop, bizarre as that may sound. Be that as it may, this is a blaster of a pop album, Doherty's vocals slurring over jangly guitars with kicking drumbeats. Less shambolic than Down In Albion or Shotter's Nation, this album may alienate die-hards, but with work this measured, why would Babyshambles care?
