It takes Carl Barat just 21 seconds to bring up booze on his band's new record. What's his poison? Irish whiskey, Jameson to be exact, though the Dirty Pretty Thing seems on more familiar terms than that with this liquor. "Why not come in for a Jamey's and escape life?", he slurs, surrounded by a staggering carousel of guitar and organs. Another eight seconds of opening track "Buzzards And Crows" have passed when "broken dreams" crop up - stall set early, Barat's invitation already sounds more like a plea for piteous ears than the gracious offer of a glass and a friendly shoulder.
