What Became of the Likely Lads

The Libertines

A bittersweet eulogy for a fractured brotherhood. Scuffed guitars and shared-mic vocals capture the final, poetic gasps of the UK's most chaotic indie icons.

November 17, 2004 · Rough Trade

A defiant yet deeply wounded exploration of lost brotherhood and faded glory.

Moments Worth Listening For
The reworked title track's slower tempo that emphasizes the heartbreak of the lyrics over the original's frantic pace.
The explosive, chaotic drum fill that kicks off the live-energy version of Boys in the Band.
The moment the dual vocals perfectly align on the final chorus of Time for Heroes, sounding like a unified front against the world.
