( - 'Romance At Short Notice' is the second album from British indie outfit Dirty Pretty Things. Recorded between London and Los Angeles, the follow-up to 2006's 'Waterloo To Anywhere' perfectly demonstrates the band's songwriting progression and musical growth. There is added emphasis on the heartfelt, earnest and often angry lyrics from frontman and ex-Libertine Carl Barat, while the punk fuelled guitar riffs and gunshot rhythms remain. Singles include 'Tired Of England'.

I was worried this album was going to let me down from the start but I can confidently say I'm embaressed to actually own this generic piece of indie piffle. I really hope the band abondon this happy go lucky nonesense and pull it out of the bag next time or Carl might as well give up and be happy that he at least wrote bang bang my more famous friends dead.
If you like The Libertines please dont buy this album it will make you cry. Buy Shotters Nation instead.
DPT grown up

If your a libs fan, you'll buy this no matter what. A very different sounding DPT album, more mature, more polished. I like it. Reminds me of the old Libertines Legs 11 demo sessions. Well worth a purchase, but dont expect it to be the sound of the summer!
I miss the Libertines

After Babyshambles new album Shotter's nation and Waterloo I finally thought that we had moved on but this album lacks tunes.
Nothing on this album compares to Last of the Smalltown Playboys or Gin & Milk or anything on the previous album. But it is still alright despite the strange noises between each song. What are they all about?
