genre

[edit]

Garage rock?, I see it as more of a punk album myself.

Perhaps post-punk. Really, I didn't deeply consider the genre, just copied the one from Up the Bracket, so feel free to change.

Trivia

[edit]
  • The song "Arbeit Macht Frei" takes its title from the phrase placed above the entrances to Nazi concentration camps. It means "Work sets you free"
  • The song titled, The Saga was inspired by a letter sent to Pete Doherty by his associate Paul Roundhill, warning him of his growing drug problem. The share with Roundhill of the writing credits marked the first time that Doherty and Barat had not shared the writing credits equally and alone. Roundhill to this day believes and credits himself for co-writing the song, however has never been clarified and been dismissed by Barat in the past.
  • Parts of the song "Last Post on The Bugle" bear a striking resemblance to the 60s song "War or Hands of Time" by The Masters Apprentices.
  • Doherty and Barat apparently came to blows while recording the track "Music When the Lights Go Out", reportedly the only time they did so during the recording process, despite several near misses, and the underlying tension between the two frontmen.
  • Mick Jones played the piano part on "The Man Who Would Be King".
