The Libertines are a very controversial band as their lead singer has been caught taking numerous drugs, thats why the title of the album itself doesn't suprise the audience. The title 'The Libertines' is very similar to the sex pistols which are letters cut out of newspapers or magazines this gives the band a rough look and so called 'rock & roll' look. The main image of the album is taht of two men both being part of the band the man on the right is the lead singer and the man on the left is the guitarist. The way that the man on the right is holding his left arm is to show the audience that he has just had a hit of heroin this is to emphasis the title of the album which is 'Doing Heroin Makes Us Punk!' and as i said before the title is very similar to that of sex pistols title well in there time the sex pistols were seen as a british punk band this is also another reason for the font of the band and the album name. What i like most about this album is the simplicity of the photo, they didnt hire out models to be in their photo they have got the actual band members this then makes the audience recongnize them when they see the album cover.
