Peter Doherty - new album out NOW!!!

Grace/Wastelands has the curious status of offering the most convincing account of Pete Doherty's talents, yet at the same time
conveying the limited parameters of his artistic reach.
It's when he's at his best that one can most clearly gauge his limitations, and they don't leave him much room to move here. Too many of these songs are slim ideas polished to an almost respectable lustre by arrangements which try to add colour to Doherty's monochrome presence without trampling over his anomie.
