The Greatest Music
Up the Bracket
The 242nd greatest album of all time
Up the Bracket is The Libertines' 2002 debut studio album, produced by Mick Jones. It blends garage rock and indie rock with raucous, lo-fi energy, ragged guitar interplay and urgent tempos, driven by the dueling, conversational vocals of Peter Doherty and Carl Barat. The record is marked by its streetwise, confessional lyrics and a raw immediacy that became a touchstone for early 2000s British garage-influenced rock.
