An ending fitting for the start,” Barât sung on the 2004 LP’s classic opener Can’t Stand Me Now, perfectly summing up the position the band were in at the time. Their eponymous second record should have been the start of something much bigger – it did top the UK Album Chart, after all – but instead it marked the end. Or it did, until they announced that they would finally record their long-awaited third album at the end of last year. Dutchcharts.nl – The Libertines – Anthems for Doomed Youth" (in Dutch).

The album carries a delightful momentum even through the slower songs like 'You're my Waterloo' and 'The Milkman's Horse' which makes for an enjoyable listen from start to finish. It's clear to see the increased involvement of the rhythm section in not only arrangement, but also composition; the bass and drums are more together and crisp than they've ever been, and there is a light-hearted element in the music that makes it feel like a proper Libertines album - which it is.

Like a traditional Petrarchan sonnet, the poem is divided into an octave and sestet. However, its rhyme scheme is neither that of a Petrarchan nor English sonnet, but irregular: ABABCDCD:EFFEGG. Even its indentations are irregular, not following its own rhyme scheme. The Libertines Share New Song "Glasgow Coma Scale Blues", Pitchfork Media, 20 August 2015. Retrieved 20 August 2015.

While in the hospital, Owen met and became close friends with another poet, Siegfried Sassoon. Owen asked for his assistance in refining his poems' rough drafts. It was Sassoon who named the start of the poem "anthem", and who also substituted "dead", on the original article, with "doomed"; the famous epithet of "patient minds" is also a correction of his. The amended manuscript copy, in both men's handwriting, still exists and may be found at the Wilfred Owen Manuscript Archive on the World Wide Web. [1] The revision process for the poem was fictionalized by Pat Barker in her novel Regeneration. [2] Daly, Rhian (3 September 2015). "The Libertines – 'Anthems For Doomed Youth' ". NME.

And all that can apply to Anthems For Doomed Youth. A cloud of apprehension has been around anyone following The Libertines since they reunited, and deservedly so. It’s the same air that hung over Doherty’s time with Babyshambles, the 2010 Reading & Leeds shows, absolutely everything. We never know what’s going to happen with The Libertines next, and that’s what makes every moment as rewarding as it is. Again, Anthems For Doomed Youth just hits the mark. Several songs are just plain uninteresting, other times the album is meandering and awkward. But at least it’s here. At least it tries. At least a future exists. American composer Stephen Whitehead included an orchestral setting of "Anthem for Doomed Youth" as a movement in his orchestral piece "Three Laments on the Great War" for soloists and orchestra. The piece is scored as a duet for mezzo-soprano and bass/baritone with orchestra. Time seems to have had no effect on the Libertines whatsoever and their songs still boast the self-unaware swagger and carelessness as before, but with an added maturity. Songs like 'Anthem for Doomed Youth' and 'Fury of Chonburi' do recall their previous album, but I feel this isn't the point of this new record, as time has been marching on and the band have changed as people and as musicians.

Phares, Heather. "Anthems for Doomed Youth – The Libertines". AllMusic . Retrieved 16 September 2015. Pitter, Charles (30 September 2015). "The Libertines: Anthems for Doomed Youth, PopMatters". PopMatters. Anthems For Doomed Youth, their first album since 2004’s self-titled LP, begins promisingly. Raucous guitars, an anthemic feel and a chorus underpinned by a strong hook – it’s almost like they’ve never been away. However, it’s such a time capsule that it doesn’t take long to be reminded of The Libertines’ myriad failings: a by-numbers approach, untidy guitars that don’t know where they’re going, and lyrics that would raise a ‘See me’ in red pen if submitted for GCSE coursework. The Libertines announce 'week of shenanigans' at small Camden venue to mark new album release". NME.

The chorus, meanwhile, sees Pete and Carl comparing themselves to “Tin soldiers responding to a call / To Camden we will crawl / One and all”. It’s banal, but then again, banal circus songs are littered throughout British pop history, from ‘Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite’ to the middle bit in ‘To The End’ by Blur. This song aims to walk that tightrope alongside them. Italiancharts.com – The Libertines – Anthems for Doomed Youth". Hung Medien. Retrieved 18 September 2015.

When Doherty went to prison after breaking into co-frontman Carl Barât’s flat, it seemed likely that they would be a one-album wonder. Remarkably, the two frontmen were able to patch up their differences for long enough to produce the band’s self-titled second album – with its now iconic album artwork – before imploding once again and leaving many fans wondering whether they had seen the last of The Libertines.
