album review
While mostly accurate, dismissing Never Mind the Bollocks as merely a series of loud, ragged midtempo rockers with a harsh, grating vocalist and not much melody would be a terrible error. Already anthemic songs are rendered positively transcendent by Johnny Rotten's rabid, foaming delivery. His bitterly sarcastic attacks on pretentious affectation and the very foundations of British society were all carried out in the most confrontational, impolite manner possible. Most imitators of the Pistols' angry nihilism missed the point: underneath the shock tactics and theatrical negativity were social critiques carefully designed for maximum impact. Never Mind the Bollocks perfectly articulated the frustration, rage, and dissatisfaction of the British working class with the establishment, a spirit quick to translate itself to strictly rock & roll terms. The Pistols paved the way for countless other bands to make similarly rebellious statements, but arguably none were as daring or effective. It's easy to see how the band's roaring energy, overwhelmingly snotty attitude, and Rotten's furious ranting sparked a musical revolution, and those qualities haven't diminished one bit over time. Never Mind the Bollocks is simply one of the greatest, most inspiring rock records of all time. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide

- Over 30 years old Never Mind the Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols remains as strong as ever. The most notable songs Anarchy in the U.K. and God Save the Queen use simple but effective bass lines and guitar riffs. John Lyndon's agressive vocals, and ocasional outbursts give the album raw power. An example is the repeated use of the word "fuck" halfway through Bodies as the tempo goes back into pace. From the marching of feet heard in the begining og Holidays in the Sun to the fart Rotten makes at the end of E.M.I. every track is strong as the next, the more one listens to this album can a person fully appreciate every song. The only songs that tend to be weak are No Feelings , just due to the lengthy begining and New York that loses agressiveness that Pretty Vacant has. This album is the definition of Punk Rock.
