The third album by British band The Libertines is named Anthems for Doomed Youth, and features a song of the same name. Ryan, Gavin (19 September 2015).

Baarn, Netherlands. A lot has happened since The Libertines split up in 2004. Pete Doherty completed his addiction rehabilitation in Thailand. Amy Winehouse died. Carl Barât released dreadful solo records. A lot would have happened in your life too. Anthems for Doomed Youth is a tribute to those times and to pressing on; the past and the present. The future is irrelevant for now; Doherty has already mentioned the possibility of a fourth album, so for now we just need to relish in these times.

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.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).

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.
