3.0 out of 5 stars Record Company rip off, 24 Oct 2007
By Mr. D. M. Soanes "dmsoanes" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Time for Heroes: The Best of the Libertines (Audio CD)
Don't get me wrong, the Libertines are brilliant - but why do a 'best off' when they've only released 2 albums. If you don't have any Libertines albums then I suggest you buy "The Libertines" and "Up the Bracket" - you can probably pick them up for 5 or 6 quid each. If Rough Trade want me to part with my hard-earned cash why not do an album of b-sides, un-released demos, live tracks and the standalone singles. I'm not going to spend 9 quid for the extra four tracks I don't already have.

2.0 out of 5 stars Waste of time, 29 Dec 2007
By Susan Ellis (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Time for Heroes: The Best of the Libertines (Audio CD)
The Libertines are one of the best bands to come out of Britain in the past ten years with an extensive back-catalogue of b-sides and demos that would have been perfect on a cd like this. Fact is, "Time for Heroes" only contains a couple of songs that aren't on the two albums - and the most obvious of songs at that. The tracks here are undeniably brilliant - with "Up the Bracket", "Tell the King" and "Don't Look Back into the Sun" as the highlights - but any Libs fan worth their salt knows the true talent lies in all the songs that have been missed off. Where is "Never Never"? Where is "Skag and Bone Man"? "Cyclops"? "Dilly Boys"? "Bucketshop"?
This album has clearly been compiled by people who know nothing of the real Libertines, hoping to make a quick buck. If you want to find out more about the Libs buy Up the Bracket and download the rarities, don't waste your money on this soulless cash-in.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing band - Missed opportunity, 20 Oct 2007
By Mr. C. Willis "lordbyron103" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Time for Heroes: The Best of the Libertines (Audio CD)
The best of the libertines should really be a five star review but a number of opportunities have been missed.

What is here is pretty damn good - all the singles, a couple of b sides and some choice album tracks. Any album that has "Can't Stand Me Now" AND "Time For Heroes" is going to be pretty special. But its what's missing that's the real cloying issue. The tracklisting is unusually short for a best of and a couple more of their classier b-sides could have been tagged on ("Cyclops" is one of my faves). This could also have been an opportunity to make Pete Doherty's Wolfman collaberation, "For Lovers", available on an album for the first time. However, the most glaring ommission has to be "Music When the Lights Go Out", from their second album. This is possibly the finest song the Libertines ever released, and the addition of this alone would have made for a five star album.
