Reviews (page 9 of 14)
j’aurais aimé plus aimer, mais j’ai vraiment du mal avec le timbre de voix du chanteur principal. de bonnes intros avec guitare électrique, des paroles bien pensées, un album vitef plaisant à écouter, mais ça s’arrête là pour moi
I’m definitely a huge fan of the energy in this album. The fast drums and guitar strumming pair very well with the vocals. I did have to take a break half way through this album due to it being a bit repetitive. The strong British accent and singing is quite distinct and would not be to everyone’s taste. Great background music. Would listen to this album again but probably not in its entirety.
Classic punk, brings back memories
bof trop intense
It's cool and fun, and I get the importance of it, but I just don't enjoy listening to it.
Very straightforward punk. It's enjoyable enough but i remain un-floored.
Just bog standard punk. I used to not like it at all, it's better than I remember but still nothing special to me. I think I've written before that coming from metal, I went straight to hardcore so that will always be my preference over this style I know it played a role in starting punk but meh, I'd rather listen to The Damned for early English punk Highlights: Submission
This was decent
Sehr Punk. Sehr laut.
Nice, visą laiką rėkia.
How to rate such a mitical and influential album that is so bad?
Can't believe they only had one studio album. Very punk rock of them tbh.
Not a fan of punk but this album was acceptable.
Couldn’t connect with it. Maybe need to explore more of their works.
It’s clearly decent but not my kind of punk
- bombastic, in your face, pissed off, loud, and distinct - I sailed the seven seas in 2013-2014 and downloaded this album when I wanted to try getting into punk, and I remember being hit by this massive, bright wall of sound as soon as "Holidays in the Sun" began - listening to this album back then prompted a semi-deep dive (deep for an 18- or 19-year-old) into other punk groups like Husker Du, Fugazi, and Descendents, which I ended up listening to much more frequently than any of the NMTBHTSP tracks - no other thoughts (although "can you be signed to a major label and still be punk?" comes to mind), but including a diss track about your old record label is a pretty ballsy move
Punk rock. As it is with punk rock it is sometimes/mostly annoying as it aims to be.
Eeh, a couple of memorable things in there but mostly forgettable.
Not a fan of punk in general, but recognizing this is the seminal album of the genre.
Love the energy, but by the end the songs all start to sound the same.
I am not the most radical leftist you would come upon. To be honest I would label myself as a centralist for most of the time. But yes, I’m one of the anglophiles of all time. I don’t support the conservative values of the monarchy though; I just consider it as something that’s really pretentious and cool cause the best thing is that the King is just a symbol. But yeah it’s right to say that England has no future. Really nihilistic saying but also as old and cliche as usual. As for John Lydon and his friends, I wish they won’t disappoint me when they come to me in the form of PiL. 3/5
Ce n’est pas le genre de musique que j’aime écouter.
Bratty, snotty, and (intentionally) annoying. Beyond that style though, there's very little substance. Musically it's the same chords bashed out again and again; it takes until "Submission" and "Pretty Vacant" for interesting chord progressions to appear. This might work if the lyrics had a purpose behind them, but they're only vaguely political and more often confrontational just for the sake of it. The antichrist / anarchist flip is really clever and the most effectively rebellious moment, but very little else comes close to it. Elsewhere things are more tiring than exhilarating - by the 10th time Lydon has snarled "problems" you just want him to shut up. In a way this rocks, with the overwhelming vocals and simple loud songs. For the same reasons, it's hard to get through all twelve songs in a row.
One of the better punk albums I have heard, but still not a fan of most punk music. The occasional track is great, but listening to an entire album starts to grate on my nerves. This one didn’t do that, but still not an album I’m ever going to seek out on my own.
A few familiar 'classics' but other than that a solid album.
3.5 - good ol British punk even though they weren’t very good
Kinda meh. The album is alright but I am not a huge fan of punk rock. I like the message but the music isn't anything mind blowing.
Yep its the sex pistols debut. Transformative when I was younger and it was a stepping stone to other better music. But God save thr queen, pretty vacant, new York still hits. Hopefully, john lydons public image albums are still to come
Never Mind the Bollocks felt less like an album and more like a cultural detonation. I was 10 when it was released, and even then I remember the chaos—banned posters, outraged headlines, parents clutching pearls. The Sex Pistols weren’t just a band; they were a marketing experiment in weaponizing rebellion. The music itself? Loud, brash, and deliberately crude. It’s punk boiled down to sneer and spit. Looking back, it’s hard not to see it as style over substance. The shock tactics, the slogans, the sneering interviews—they were engineered to provoke, and they succeeded. But beneath the noise, the songs blur together, more attitude than artistry. It’s iconic, sure, but mostly for what it represented rather than what it delivered musically.
No complaints, but pretty barebones for my millennial musical taste
Deserve their place in history and to some extent in time. I think for the genre they hit the right notes and for that they have mastery especially how they came about it. Where maybe they lose out Vs modern iterations is the musicality. I like the raw striped back vibe as it suits the material but they don't shine here and maybe not the point. On point for genre topping vocal spirit 4. For me however 3.
Välillä ihme huutamista josta ei saa selvää. Esimerkiksi yhdessä biisissä luulin koko ajan että siinä lauletaan Lava lamp eikä problem..? Taustoista kuitenkin tykkään, hyvät rummut ja kitara!
I do like the Pistols.. but just not as much as I thought I did. Obviously I like the classics but I just got bored and grated by it by the end.
Rock básico. Bom para estudar, mas nada surpreendente. Escultei todo porque é rock
I can see why this was huge. If the world was yearning for punk, this is as core and high quality as punk gets. I'm working through a weird relationship with punk throughout this list, it really flirts with anarchical singing and that bothers me. Otherwise, I love the lyrics, song structure, and instrumentation. Songs don't need to be complicated to be good... but it's hard to hit an emotional tone when you're not singing. Reluctantly 3 stars but glad I listened to this. - Sex Pistols here we come! Big expectations. If they are what people say, this will rate well. Let's just hope the singer sucks - Tough start. Hate the singer. Somehow warming up to him though - If this is the sound throughout it's gonna be tough to get through. More polished than other punk, but more grating as well - Yeahhh idk. I guess I like punk instrumentals and lyricism, but how hard is it to sing a melody? The Go-Gos nailed it, and I've been chasing that ever since. - Verdict: It's great punk, but half-singing is not my vibe. Seems like that's a core feature of punk so I can't say I like traditional punk...
Normally punk rock isn't my genre, especially if its British, but this one was fairly good musically.
It is alright. I always thought the se pistols were overrated and manufactured. I honestly don't see myself listening to it again
It was okay. A bit repetitive I think. Of course very influential but not necessarily awesome.
alright
Fun songs, but what the fuck was he saying?
Juu, klassikko, mutta ei nyt oikein iskenyt. 2.5/5.
It's overrated, simplistic and repetitive, but you can't deny that it had a huge hand in making punk rock mainstream. It has huge energy and is intentionally antagonistic, which seemed less juvenile when I was one.
This made me realise that I've never sat down and listened to a Sex Pistols album. The first song kind of slaps, I'm (for some reason) surprised by this. I think I just plain like this album
Done.
Actually didnt mind this one- typically not a huge punk person but the songs remained in the "catchy" realm while still being full of grunginess and grit. Overall- decent album
I've never much been impressed by commercial punk music. There's some fun songs on this tho
Rowdy and fun but not something I'd come back to.
Better than I remember. I remember listening to this in my brother’s room when I must have been 10 or so and I really didn’t like it and all I understood was that this was a supposedly important album. All these years later and I guess an evolution is personal taste, and now I like it.
Jumpin' Bit sunshiny for my taste, but Anarchy in the UK is fun as shit.
PUUUUUUNK
Ah the sex pistols. Angst at its best. Good album but not my style.
Classic punk album. As someone who isn’t really a punk fan this is still fun to listen to.
Good 3.5
This album is fine. It’s got its place in history but it’s like a lot of other influential albums - just not as good as what comes after.
2.5
Fast!
Despite what some say the Sex Pistols are nowhere near the best British punk band. This, there only studio album, is full of anger and rebellion, but light on anything else. Maybe if they had survived they would have evolved. Best tracks are the singles. Noteably "Holidays in the sun" and "God save the Queen" .
Groupe connu par quelques un de leur tubes, mais c'est la première fois que j'écoute un album entier. J'ai apprécié la découverte mais sans plus. Certes c'est un disque fondateur qui a influencé de nombreux groupes, mais j'ai un peu de mal avec le chant, et l'album est un lassant sur la longueur. J'aime toujours "God Save the Queen" et "Anarchy in the U.K.", mais les autres morceaux ne m'ont pas marqués. Ceci dit il se peut que je le ré-écoute ! =>3/5
Instrumentals were good but not a fan of the guys voice
Un peu trop punk pour moi mais ça s'écoute
bueno pero no es mi estilo
Kul att ha lyssnat på hela då det är en klassiker men inte riktigt min grej, förstår dock verkligen ”charmen”
Album was just okay. Felt like 90s British rock. 5.1/10
Had not heard the album, better than expected
I should like the Sex Pistols. I like a lot of punk, rock, punk/rock type stuff. And I think this album deserves a spot on this list as they influenced a ton of others. But if I had to rate this one it would be a 5 for deserving but a 2 for how I liked it. So I guess middle of the road 3?
Buen álbum, uno de los revoluciónarios en él phunk, tiene un sonido atrevido, muy rockero y crudo qué pega a la perfección. Es él único álbum de los sex pistols y es bueno y legendario, le doy un 8.3.
АЙ ЕМ АН АЙТІКРАЙСТАААА. Згоден з усіма думками, що цей альбом дуже переоцінений. Тут купа просто жахливої лірики та посередніх пісень. Але Anarchy in the UK та God Save the Queen це бенгери на всі часи.
Roim8
It was quite good. All things considered
Yaarrghhh
Music for people that think Anarchy means burning down buildings and throwing bricks at windows. A culturally and historically relevant album that was originally designed to sell a specific look and narrative that took root. You can draw a straight line from this album to the rich kid wearing crust pants at the local show, asking to bum a beer off you because "his parents cut him off" (no they didn't, he already spent his allowance on blow). This is a simulacrum of actual punk music. Go listen to Death, they were doing it better and earlier. They just didn't have a marketing manager.
I know this is regarded as one of the greatest punk rock albums of all time. This was the first time I've ever listened all the way through and was a little underwhelmed.
Other than “God Save the Queen” & “Anarchy in the U.K.” I’ve never heard any of the other songs or had a desire to. I know this album ranks highly for so many people, but it was okay.
Punk, but they can actuuplay, otherwise boring
Music to get your knickers in a twist.
some great moments here i would actually give it a 3.5
Conflicted about this record. On one hand, it's fairly 'orrible. Deliberately objectionable and 'coorse', as my mother would have said. On the other hand (and with the benefit of hindsight), it's surprisingly tuneful in places, and is a big part of the rocket the British establishment needed at the time (and still does tbf). Deserving of its place on this list? Yeah, 100%. Likeable? Not so much.
A ver, no me ha gustado demasiado. Esta bien, la producción no es tan terrible como la pintan y el disco es bastante consistente. Pero no se, lo he encontrado aburrido. Todas las canciones son muy parecidas entre si y tendria que darle mínimo 5 escuchas mas a todo el album para recordar siquiera el estribillo de alguna. Supongo que es porque estoy bastante metido en muchos de los subgéneros del punk (Pop Punk, Emo, Post-Punk) y el hecho de escuchar la raiz de todos estos pues me resulta inverosímil debido a que aqui estan todos los elementos de los que beben las bandas que me gustan, pero sin el componente innovador y contemporáneo. No volvería ni de coña a escuchar este disco, por lo menos por ahora. Pero simplemente porque me he quedado bastante indiferente. en resumen mi review suena así: Escuchar las bandas míticas del género? nahhhhh Escuchar un EP culero de Sum-41? hell yeahh 3/5
So fun, so raw, so awesome.
No nämähän on ihan popbiisejä. Eli puree. Mainstreamiinkin. Kiistatta siis tärkeä levy.
It's Sex Pistols
undoubtedly influential but johnny rotten's nauseatingly english voice is like nails on a chalkboard, although it's fun imagining how much better the band could have been if malcolm mclaren hadn't bonked his head really hard the day he decided to recruit johnny
Nice but to repetitive and nothing special
I hadn't heard this album since I was about 15, when this band stopped being interesting. This was a very long time ago. I was more into The Exploited anyway. I understand its significance, however it's basically just one very long (too long) song. It's okay in small doses.
Better than I expected it to be. No Feelings is pretty good (obviously would be improved by better singing or...actual singing...but I know that's not in the spirit of the thing). Good guitar on God Save The Queen. Same on Problems which is also pretty good.
influential but doesn't stand up the best on its own
Tres anglais finalement
This is a guilty pleasure for me. I became a punk fan after the heyday of punk had passed but still enjoy the raw energy and emotion of it and this album epitomizes that.
Look, I get it. It's influential, its important to hear. I'm just not that kind of punk kid anymore, and that's ok
Meh. 3/5
I feel like this is the most overrated punk album of all time. I will die on that hill.
God Save the Queen! We mean it maaaan!! I have this album on tape cassette so we go way back. I still love their energy and their style of punk. But 30 years later I don't like this quite as much as I did as a teenager. My 51 year old self tends to prefer songs that are layered with fabulous playing and interesting songwriting changes with poetic lyrics. I don't really get this from the Sex Pistols. With 3 songs left I was really ready for this album to be over. Holidays in the Sun, God Save the Queen, and Anarchy in the U.K. are all kind of similar and are the "hits". But I especially like Problems and Sub-Mission because they have a little different groove.
I appreciate how rockin’ this is, but there aren’t songs on here I’d care if I ever heard again. Just not my thang.
Punk as it should be done. Very gritty and visceral. The kind of shit you can feel in your bones.
Clásico,pero no es mi estilo
Total wankers. eh ok but actually it's still kinda catchy... but only: a) for about 1 minute per song and b) 10 minutes in total. To paraphrase something I admittedly think is a lazy comment: each song really does sound pretty much the same. Not good musicians, mediocre songs, fun in the shortest of bursts. Yeah yeah pioneers (of marketing more than anything) - agreed that everyone should hear it once but that's probably enough for most. Gimme 3 tracks max and I'm good. 5/10 3 stars.
point4.
This type of punk/rock just isn’t my favorite thing in the world, still a solid album.
Picante, sucio, auténtico. Dicho ésto, no puedo hacer mucho con un género que aborrezco. Nota: 3.5
It’s whatever. I think it’s overrated even in context.
I feel like most people know what they're in for here. It's alright. A little rough, but there's a black humor to it that makes it pretty tolerable.
A bit much, all very similar
One of the OG punk albums and it’s quite good, has 2 of the most quintessential punk songs of all time with anarchy and good save the queen, the other songs are also very fun, production definitely suits the songs making this a very fun listening experience.
I've tried to like this one before. Famous cover, influential, rage, cutting edge for the time. It was a kick in the teeth to parents everywhere in 1977 and it's still getting some airplay. "Holidays In the Sun", "God Save The Queen" & "Anarchy In the UK" are the popular tracks that most people would be familiar with. Some good stuff, raw and in your face, punk rock. 10 yrs later, even when I was 15, this was too much for me to fully appreciate. I still have difficulty listening to most of the tracks, Rotten's voice is an acquired taste and rubs a nerve after awhile. 3 stars for influence, staying power & revolutionizing a sound that still has roots today.
i understand why this was a big deal in '77, but it's a pretty annoying listen
it's solid poser punk. 7/10
Good live album I just don’t know their music enough to care
experimental and quite energetic but mostly because of historical context of the band. can be listened, probably should be respected but not sincerely loved
so this is how i find out that the Sex Pistols is actually formed of absolute trash, wife killers, trumpies, pro-brexit, fucking nazis........ cool i'd wanted to get into this album for years now, because as everybody else i'd heard their major commercial successes, thinking i was going to resonate with the overall message of the album but i'm not sure how i'm supposed to do that anymore. i mean it's still an album that sounds greats, but there's just no point in listening to it anymore unfortunately
An undeniably influential album of energetic and youthful punk. It is very fun until it starts to get repetitive, specially toward the last songs, which I feel they don't add anything to the experience and just makes the album feel a bit more tiresome. If I liked more the first half, which is the strongest part, I would consider to give this record 4 stars, but because of the points made before, I'll give it 3 stars.
I’ve heard worse and they were certainly influential so 3. For you young ones, if you’re wondering what all the hype was about, you had to be there. They were a lovely antidote to Abba and glam rock, if nothing else
Something weirdly nostalgic listening to it, It definitely captures this era in British culture. It grew on me. Felt a bit too polished for punk.
Not as bad as I imagined it would be... truthfully my impression of this is that they were always severely overrated with no longevity (basically a flash in the pan), but after listening to this I can see why it's so influential. Nothing sounded like this in 1977. Negatives: Johnny Rotten's vocals are terrible (on purpose, I know...), the songs are longer than I expected (several overstayed their welcome) and I feel there is a lack of memorable, catchy songs. The energy is definitely there, though. 3 stars because of it being the blueprint, but I don't think I'll come back to it.
Actually better that I had expected. 7/10
Entiendo la importancia del disco, entiendo por qué está en esta lista, pero el punk me parece algo hartante y repetitivo. Y después de tantos años como que no se siente tan anarquista como en su época. No me la pasé mal, pero no fue mi hit. Dos o tres cancines conocidas o que me gustaron, y hasta ahí.
The is band is on the THPS Mount Rushmore. IYKYK. Favorite Track: Anarchy in U.K.
Back then, almost 50 years ago, I can imagine that punk rock seemed aggressive. I also associate it with my own youth and the punk freaks in the pedestrian zones of big cities. It was impressive for me as a teenager, and also intimidating in a way. I couldn't relate to it at all...both the music and the behavior. Today, punk music has evolved, and I now find it completely listenable. And so I can say that, unlike before, I like the album a lot. It's not exactly in your face anymore.
energetic and true
I would give this like a 3.8. I really liked it, and it spoke to the angst I have regarding the current political climate. I just didn’t quite like it enough to hit 4 stars.
Ah. The Sex Pistols. My first ever punk band...and they were quickly replaced as my favourites by significantly better bands like The Clash and The Dead Kennedys. Still, this is a fantastic album. The lyrics are nonsense politically or punk-wise; they're edgy, but the vocals and irreverant nature of them still works. It doesn't really align anywhere with 'punk' aside from superficiality, but, it's functional. Bodies is despite the fact that it's an anecdote, still a very anti-abortion song– which is a complex issue, but having these dolts tackle it certainly isn't how you present it. But despite that, man if the songs aren't still good. They're really, really good punk songs, even if the lyrics aren't up to shape. It really does define punk in some ways. Despite that, I can't imagine giving it anything higher than a 4/5. Edited on 17 June. 3/5
Decent punk album, feels a bit too clean though doesn't it? Punk should never feel polished.
Ikkje favorittalbumet mitt, men gøy ein sjelden gang
An iconic punk record with some really good songs, although from start to end it's not the strongest. 6/10
I guess I got used to heavier sounds, I like it much more now than I used to
I was more into real British anarcho-punk like CRASS when I was a kid, so the Sex Pistols always seemed like they might as well been a pop band like the Bee Gees or Michael Jackson. More a packaged product and image: only in this case shock for shock's sake, rebellion for sale, fashion over form. I did listen to them a little, but never really sought them out. Nevertheless, as the years have progressed, I can't help but acknowledge the impact they had on practically everyone at the time. Some of my lifelong favorite bands formed after seeing the Pistols live, (Joy Division and Siouxsie immediately spring to mind). I'll give 'em that. This is actually the first time I've listened to this record in its entirety from start to finish, and I still know practically every single song on it. It is without-a-doubt a solid rock record, and yeah, it probably scared the shit out of the establishment rank and file when it first dropped. And that is kinda my problem with it. I imagine there was a lot of pearl-clutching over the Sex Pistols in the mainstream culture and in the press, but we all know that freaking out the normals is not very difficult, (especially back then). In fact, Malcom McLaren and Jamie King are as much a part of their aesthetic legacy as the band itself. So, there is nothing really authentically revolutionary about the music or lyrics to me. Their influence and impact is undeniable, but it also sounds kinda commercial, then and now. Victims of their own popularity, perhaps. And if I check in with my 15 y.o. self, this record still sounds significantly less dangerous, sincere, and genuine to me as Feeding of the 5000, which I had on repeat all the time back when.
feels like riding a go-cart in a circular race track
Very simple minded here (me not the music) - I like his voice I also like how sassy it is Okay submission rocks
I generally liked it. It's a record with some skips on it, but the ones that make an impression make a damn good impression. From hearing this and The Clash a few weeks ago, my preconceived notions of British punk are turning out to be false. I would only be selective with the whole project however. 7/10 (3/5).
An enjoyable rant about the state of the UK and the powers that be.
Lyrically the music is terrible, vocally the music is terrible. But yet there is something slightly endearing within this mess. Maybe that they give zero fucks about whatever rating I could give them
Culturally important for sure, the songs are all fine enough and catchy, but this wasn't a life-changing album for me, and I don't anticipate revisiting.
Too much Punk for me
I understand that it is a crucial album for punk music overall, but it is just not for me. However, I don’t think they get enough credit for how forward-thinking they were on “Submission”.
Weird to listen to this album all the way through for the first time after nearly 50 years! The Pistols are not nearly as amateur as they were made out to be at the time; I think it’s mainly John Lydon’s attitude and delivery that gave the band their reputation, for better or worse. Glad I listened to it, would listen to it again, but manage not the whole thing.
I can absolutely understand it being on this list, and I absolutely think it deserves being remembered as a hugely influential moment in music, but it's honestly not that great. As a cohesive, music-centric record it turns out a bit samey, but as a punk record it's clear that they were still very much under the rule structure of verse-chorus-bridge, standard chord progressions and ironically it turns out a bit too accomplished to stay sounding raw and iconoclastic after all these years. I'm not sad it's here, and I'm not sad I listened to it, but I don't think it really holds up as an album now.
#593. The Sex Pistols have always been popular and influential, but they existed never been good. I suppose that's a bit of the point though. 3/5: even this score is overinflated.
Lot of energy but it gets a little same-y
I went in expecting something off-putting. Punk is not normally my favorite. But this was very palatable and I might have even enjoyed it a bit. I’m not sure that it speaks to me on some real deep emotional way, but I do appreciate what they are doing.
Sympatoche
never FULLY listened 6/10 first FULL listen
Honestly, going into this after never hearing it before, I was expecting a really poorly produced, unlistenable mess, especially with what I've heard about it before. But what I got was a generally well produced, catchy punk record. Problems I think is the standout to me. The shenanigans of the members outside the band notwithstanding, its just a solid record I felt. Pretty repetitive and the longest 39 minutes I've ever listened to (which is insane for a punk record. Usually these things feel breezy), but the repetition kinda wore. Not something I'd ever go back to, theres much better punk records out there, but yeah, solid.
Pretty solid punk very samey though
God Save The Queen
Not a huge fan of punk, but I appreciate the music.
(lack of) style over substance
Nit bad, but also lots of the same.
They have some hits but it feels same-y throughout. Still I guess an inspiration for the punk genre.
It’s giving Vivian from Young Ones, but unironic. This album was quite a journey for me, as I didn't just listen to it and move on, I listened to it a few times over a couple days, alternating with the 2012 remastered versions (I could kind of hear the difference - it was cleaner), did a lot of Wikipedia reading, reading reviews and so on - essentially gave myself a history lesson. It was a journey, but not because of the music directly but because of the periphery. I think that's much like The Sex Pistol's historical and musical legacy - the music wasn't what was great or revolutionary (oh no they called the Queen fascist and used taboo words!!!), but they themselves as a band were completely... unhinged. Obviously i'd heard of them, but couldn't name a member or even a song. Reading their history, particularly of Sid Vicious, feels like something of fiction and hyperbole. Really, they were performance art rather than musical artists, so absurd and novel in their unbridled animalistic behaviour that you couldn't look away, and the infamy and notoriety followed - except their “art” wasn’t a performance but the result of deep-seeded anger, fundamental instability of personality and troubled childhoods. Inter-generational trauma: the musical. Of course it does seem this fire was stoked quite attentively by their management for profit. Perhaps “circus act” is a better fit? At least that's how it feels to someone decades and continents removed from that era, speaking from a couple hours reading about them. I'm sure what their music was about was as profound and shocking (more the latter) as it is and always has been proclaimed to be, but it doesn't really hit the same today. I can go on any social media platform and find a whole selection of people saying far more controversial, inflammatory and taboo things in less time than it takes to listen through their album. Their music would be completely meaningless, insignificant and unsurprising today, they just did it "first" - or were the first to get enough people talking about them that everyone else did too. Angry young men with serious issues that the world hadn't quite seen before. Shock is powerful, but relative. I doubt they’d have even registered on the cultural radar if they’d existed now, not for their lyrics and music anyway, but maybe for their behaviour. Maybe that’s exactly what happened in their time too - but it seems their words did have more power then than now, at least. Anyway, nothing I have to say about them is particularly revolutionary, I’m sure. None of this is to say their reputation and legacy as “the birth of punk” or whatever is unearned, either, I just like to think about cultural relativism and find them fascinating. The music itself? I’ve already said what I think about the lyrics and themes, and otherwise it was… ok. Not my genre, but it grew on me. Easy to hate with only one listen. The hasty, imperfect quality is kind of cool. I feel like it adds to their mythos, makes them feel more ethereal and transient, like they were only barely captured just once. It was rough, but not amateur, although did feel a bit monotonous at times. The random noises (a cough, a burp) at the ends of a couple tracks further that feeling. It has a “one and done” feeling, “good enough, let’s go drink”. The accent is particularly pronounced with the singing (if you can call it that) style, makes it more iconic really. The rolled Rs scattered throughout are very satisfying. Angry Americans just sound dumb and whiny, angry Brits make you wanna smash things and join in. Most / Least Favourite Tracks: No Feelings / New York (and not just because of the slur), but their two biggest (God Save The Queen and Anarchy in The UK) didn't really have much of an impact on me, not a fan. I think those were “you had to be there” tracks.
Of all the albums to get the morning you have a headache…
Hated this album, and Punk in general, when it came out. Now it strikes me as just great, basic, honest, in your face rock’n’roll.
Punk, 1977 -> 3
Listened to with Rolling Stone 500. Fun listen good old school punk, probably wont return to it much.
Arguably the first punk rock album which is surprising considering how boring this album is. For the time I can imagine it was pretty revolutionary though. The songs kind of just get annoying after a while 6/10 Favourite: Pretty Vacant Least Favourite: Seventeen
Nice, intense 38 minutes of punk-rock.

Never would’ve thought that I’d be complaining that a punk band’s songs are too long, but here we are! It’s been a long time since I’ve listened this Never Mind the Bollocks, which makes sense. This is one of the essential CDs you pick up when you’re 11 or 12 and first getting into punk music; it isn’t the first punk band you like or even hear– that title is normally reserved for a barely-punk pop-punk band who makes songs about hating your hometown and masturbating– but it’s part of the Starter Pack™️ you pick up at the used CD store to teach yourself about the genre, along with a random Ramones album, London Calling, and a Choose Your Own Hardcore Adventure selection of Damaged, Rotten Fruit, or Milo Goes to College. And, typically, Bollocks is your least favorite of the batch, and ultimately fades into the background of your punk rock journey. “God Save the Queen” and “Anarchy in the UK” may make it onto a playlist here and there, but the rest of the album doesn’t really stick. And that’s because, well, most of it is pretty bland, not-punk, or both. If punk is a sound (debatable), I would say a lot of this record is not fast enough, hard enough, or angry enough. It also is pretty same-y throughout, and not in a cute, “this is our sound” way like The Ramones, but more in a “we literally do not know any other chord progressions” way. The result is not only a pretty one-dimensional record, but also one where the band circles around and around the same chorus, hook, or verse 3 or 4 times too many, extending what could be 1.5-minute songs well past their welcome. This is especially an issue on Side A, where I’d say most of the songs are duds minus the closer and maybe the opener. This is also where the production is the most muddy, which is fine aesthetically but hard on the ears regardless. Side B is significantly better, though it does start out with “Seventeen,” which suffers from the above issue. But the rest of this side works mainly because it ISN’T punk enough, it ISN’T fast enough, and it ISN’T trying to wear the latest fashion. There’s things that feel “outside” the punk formula, like the mid-tempo “Sub-Mission,” the opening of “New York,” and the actual structure of “Anarchy in the UK” that feel, well, interesting to listen to! It’s not much, and it’s not perfect or even preferred, but it’s something. This is also where the band feels the tightest, although they’re never really all that tight, even if they are better than you remember them being. Now, while the punk snob in me wants to hate this record, the fashion-minded bitch in me actually loves this record. It’s not an album I want to listen to per se, but I like what it stands for, *even as* a constructed boy band for edgy teens. The most interesting thing about this band is that they really have nothing to be pissed about– the largest displays of anger are at the monarchy, which, sure, but that’s been an issue for centuries and is already changing as Parliament takes more political control post-WW2, and…their record label?!?! The Sex Pistols themselves aren’t what’s cool here, but rather, what’s cool is the mirror they hold up to the type of person who found meaning in these limp, repetitive, barely angry songs. The audience who got into this *did* have a reason to be pissed, and *did* find something revolutionary in the fashion the Sex Pistols displayed, both in Malcolm McLaren’s clothing, the fashion of the noise the band was making, and the fashion of their live shows (and let’s be real, this is an album that only worked live, played sloppily by models). When I consider the fashion of it all, Never Mind the Bollocks is significantly better than any fashion statement made via music should have any right to be. As music itself, though, well, it’s better than I remember, but that’s a ways away from being good. The idea and the history is what’s important here, obviously, but the music is fine, too, I guess.
Fine. Musicianship is better than I remember it being. Lyrics are a bit meh now, but that’s society for you.
Not for me
I didn't like this album in the 70s but grew to it a bit in the 80s. Thanks for the refresher!
The EMI song is shite but otherwise its ok
Музыка временами интересная, ударные прикольные... но вот голос монотонный и без всяких интонаций реально утомляет. 5 из 10, и то больше за музыку.
Heard it before. For a classic punk album it's a bit mid, isn't it 3/5
fun!
my first sex pistols album. crunchy & grungy, and fun - not my cup of tea, but i can see why they were so big
It reminds me a lot of the Ramones - same kind of guitar and musical energy, but different vocals (more spoken, less melodic) and a different tone (more anger).
Can hear shades of Dead Kennedy's but it mostly sounds far less punk than I expected - which I guess is evidence of how much rock (and punk) has changed over time. Barely squeaks into being a 3 since John Lydon's voice just gets annoying, even over 40 minutes of album time.
of course I knew this one. Never listened to it a ton, because I was more into the ramones, but it still has some good songs on there. Manufactured band aside, god save the queen and anarchy in the uk still slap.
This actually sounded surprisingly good—just in terms of the sound. Otherwise, it was pretty decent.
I got into Lama and G.B.H. before I found Pistols and by then I had already been exposed to hardcore punk and thrash metal, so they didn't really make an impact on me. After reading more and more about them, it seemed like "set-up boy band" more than anything organic, so I never was really interested. But anyway, as far as the album goes, it plays to me like rough rock album, it doesn't stir the sense of danger the way MC5 or The Stooges do and it feels a tad like over acting, if that makes sense. As far as the music goes it's guite decent, better than the half a dozen or so brit pop/rock albums I've heard in the last few months off this list.
Not a fan of the vocals. Probably sounded incredible in 1977 but quite boring now. One big song. Gets extra points because it was clearly very influential.
Kinda just makes me angry which I’m not a fan of lol
A punk classic
Good album
God I'm so annoyed I missed this on the day and VERY annoyed that it's taken me actual months to come back to it. I don't know if I'll like it I'm kinda leery of sex pistols even if I like what I know. But I've never listened to the album and I'm well fuckin curious. .... bit samey innit. i like their sound but it doesn't really feel like they were experimenting at any point. 'oh I know this one' yeah bitch its god save the queen. Do you know bohemian rhapsody too. Problems is a banger. I've keyed into this a bit better now i might have to go round again. i've never liked the original pretty vacant much lmao maybe i just know the joan jett cover too well i prefer the female vocal now. I'm struck with the Punk Album Problem again. Like it just doesnt feel necessary to have this many sex pistols songs in one place even if they're individually fun. Like who cares that there wasn't another they did what they came to do and now John Lydon has all that butter money. 3.5 probably
Mid
Influenza secolare ma dio se fanno cagare a suonare
Sounds fun but too wordy. Some very good bangers.
6.5/10
Rächt fescht Hard Rock. Secher gnue
The Clash is better
3/27/25. Hard hitting punk rock! Always loved Anarchy in the UK and the energy is high throughout.
Classic 77 punk rock
Mais ou menos, me lembrou um pouco de Green Day mas o estilo não é muito o meu. Aqueles vocais que são meio quebrados e não entram em sintonia com a melodia. Algumas músicas boas
The energy and anger of this was great. And much more “intelligent” than I expected, considering the social commentary throughout. The only knock is the songs at some point started to sound pretty similar with little variety.
It's ok... Personally I prefer The Damned.
Some good stuff. Didn’t enjoy it too much though. 3 stars
смешной и перепетый, но слушать это как музыку я не могу) как анекдот могу
Recognize the impact of this album, but not really my jam
I've tried a few times to get into this album, and this latest listen didn't blow my mind either. I don't strongly dislike it, and I respect their influence and place in the punk scene, but it doesn't do a lot for me. It all feels very one note, not a lot of dynamics, and the songs get lost in each other to my ears. I've enjoyed other punk albums far more even if they owe a lot to this one.
Pop punk
These guys fuck. Love the energy and absolutely recklessness of this music, yet it all comes together in harmony. This was such a movement during this era, something that really hadn’t been seen or done before. Respect to this band.
Seminal punk album.
Punk strikes again. This is a bit better than others on the list, but I just can’t seem to break through the punk block in my mind.
Ok
not bad, punk, sometimes same sound but good
The Sex Pistols are a pillar in the early punk rock scene. I find this album fun and well made but the songs all are very similar in sound and tempo. It’s like one song rewritten 12 times. As time and music have moved on from these beginnings, these songs now feel more rock than punk.
Energetic and kick-ass punk, although some of the songs are more miss than hit.
Solid punk album, the only notable one from the band. The album is a jolly old British kick in the bollocks, it oozes aggression, rebellion and anti establishment themes. It's a middle finger to authority and a thumbs up to anarchy. Music is straight forward, with only a few songs standing out as a bit more creative than the rest. The vocals were the best part for me, with clear articulation, great accent and color. The album doesn't impress too much musically, hence a 3 star rating.
Despite being familiar with several songs, this is my first time with this album. There’s a lot to be said about the attitude and energy from this music and its influence on bands I like today. I liked it but do not feel compelled to hear it over and over again.
If you ignore the importance of it's cultural impact, it really is rather basic music. Pretty much the same song over and over again with only Anarchy In The UK a real humdinger.
Johnny rottens obnoxious voice gets old quick
3/5
Actually, for a punk album it sounds better than expected. I always knew about Sex Pistols, like everyone else probably, but I never heard anything other than Anarchy In The UK. I now feel the influence they had on many other bands that came after them.
The purest distillation of punk; the punk to not only begin, but also end all punks. But honestly, within that statement lies exactly the problem I have with this album: you cannot go anywhere with this style of punk. Once you've had the first few songs... that's kind of it. The point has been made, the politics have been spewed, the punk has been punked. Since there's nowhere left to go, the rest of the album feels a bit like an empty echo of the first half. Even John Lydon must have realised this, when only a year later he formed the much more musically ambitious Public Image Ltd. This truest of true punks could only exist for the duration of a flash. Or rather, for 3 minutes and 19 seconds, the exact duration of God Save the Queen.
It's nothing too grating, but it's not amazing either. Anarchy in the UK holds a place in my heart, though.
Pre-fab punk. It’s ok but not special.
It was OK
Aside from Lydon's voice, this shit is clean and tight
A pretty good listen.
Good punk, but a little too british for my taste. Mogus reference in EMI!?
Well clearly a classic and I can’t believe how it hasn’t really aged considering it’s nearly 50 years old. Holidays in the Sun, No Feelings and Anarchy are my top tracks But I’m giving it a 3 coz it is a bit samey and I definitely have to be in the mood for it.
Good Start to the week this lol. Saw the Sex Pistols at Finsbury Park back in 96, snuck in towards the end, proceeded to experience the most mental front 5 rows and was slightly terrified: https://youtu.be/3dxYk1pKFb4?si=XkxcVMMhbOaeMGZx Album was ok, good for working out too. But Johnny Rotten grates on me audibly after a while. Pretty Vacant Fav track
Good
God, this is an album that moshing was made for. The punk version of an AC/DC record, and boy I would kill to have been in the audience on this tour. That being said, it's not like it's an album I'd leave on very often, they all sort of end up being formulaic except for a couple (anarchy in the uk babyyyyyy). Still, good album
Classic album. The highs are very high, overall the album is decent.
Better than I thought it would be.
A little repetitive.
great album
Even though I knew what bollocks meant, for a while I still thought there was a band called The Bollocks that The Sex Pistols were seeking to usurp.
I do enjoy punk from time to time. This one is pretty unspecatular for mee though. Culturally I've been learning that this had a huge influence, and while I've never heard any of it before (or at least don't remember it) I _have_ heard the name "Sex Pistols" before and was aware of their existence which is also a kind of indication of their impact Standouts Anarchy In The UK 3/5
My dad loves this album so I was excited to see it pop up. I’ve never actually listened to it before and only know Anarchy in the UK. I gotta say, I was whelmed. It sounds good but it just didn’t blow me away
Warning, may contain bollocks
Better than i used to give them credit for. They started something but the best is yet to come
The perfect music to sneer at the world by. I really enjoyed it more than I thought I would. And I would like to rate it higher. But if I’m being honest with myself, I probably won’t seek this out to listen to again.
I can see why people like punk, in general, and the Sex Pistols specifically. It's got a lot of aggressive energy. But I think I prefer at least a little more refinement. Plus, Johnny Rotten's voice is grating after a couple songs. 2.5*, rounding up to 3* for cultural impact.
i love the imaginary beef that british punks from this era invented with american (specifically new york) punks…it’s very “i feel sorry for you” / “i don’t think about you at all”…….sex pistols vs. new york dolls mid off of the century……well anyway this record is stupid and maybe a little fun at times but it’s really not that good. fav tracks: problems
i'm really not into punk it all just sounds the same to me sorry. i did laugh when the album ended on a fart noise.
Punchy punk album, good for running and other active stuff. Not usually my pick, but a classic. 5/10.
Slutten av Problems var forferdelig. Ellers kul britisk garasjerock.
I enjoy a bit of punk, though I hadn't listened through a full Sex Pistols album before. It had great energy! I'm a bit hit and miss with punk, so while this was fun for a bit, it was also pretty repetitive! It put me in the mood for some Amyl and the Sniffers - an Aussie band I'd highly reccomend to anyone who loves energetic punk rock with loads of swearing - I listened to them on repeat for the rest of the day!
Classic - but not really for me.
I liked this album. I had never listened to it all the way through. I really liked that song “Submission.” In the past, I’ve found the Sex Pistols hard to listen to because the sound is harsh. Makes you want to break everything.
Punk rock What else is there to say?
You can definitely hear how it helped shape the future sound of punk. The music itself is nothing special but the songs are good solid punk tunes. Nothing especially stood out to me but it was still a decent listen.
6/10
Simon Ferocious
Much better than I remember it, interesting to listen to and think of the times
Meh
Sex Pistols always reminds me of a friend of mine, so it's always good. Except overall it's actually just okay.
For a bunch of reasons a must hear before you die..
After hearing so many punk albums in this list, Sex Pistols feels so... Meh.
Noise but fun noise
The Problem with coming late to something influential is it loses what made it so important, so honestly I didn’t really get much from this album :/ but it certainly deserves to be on thelist
Very loud, very punk. I don’t know too much else to say, but it was okay.
Ymhh...
Kind of all the same thing it was a British guy yelling and it was a bit monotonous but I like it because I was raised on this music. Again I’m biased
As a young fella, I always thought this was the “first punk album.” That’s insane. Literally the dumbest thing I’ve ever thought. And you’ve seen my thoughts here. Haven’t you? Oh please somebody be reading this. Actually? Maybe that wouldn’t be for the best. Ugh. Let’s get another one of these going. Good riff, kind of less energy than I had hoped, but a fairly raw edge which I love. YES. This rules. I love this song. Always have. I’ve always taken it as pro-abortion, but if it’s not, fuck this band. As many abortions as we can handle buddy. Available for all. Anyway. The song goes hard as a pro-abortion anthem. No feelings eh? It’s kind of like that. Producing a small amount of numbness. I’m kind of feeling whatever about this. Liar is mid. I found myself wanting it to be over. Problem here is this song is like the other songs. The exact same. I don’t hate that formula, it can work, but this takes some of the song ideas, rather than the energy. Always love a good shot at the Queen. As a man with Scottish roots and a healthy distaste for the actions of most leaders in all societies/communities, it’s fun to hear any jab at her and her supporters. I’m also a lazy sod and not 17, so this song only half speaks to me. Nah it’s fine. Guitar Hero time pal. Decent song. Hard to look past the overplayed I love the slow, creeping riff here. The tone is great, the song sounds a little different. Almost the B-52s but with a harder punk edge. An actual discovery. Pretty Vacant is dragging on me for some reason. Might be too much music for the day but either way, I’m feeling fairly empty myself. I think songs that are just about New York are so funny. It’s so overdone now, but back then, it was finished off by F.E.A.R’s “New York is Alright if You Like Saxophones,” which is a better sentence than I’ve ever written in my entire life. This song was alright. A lame end. I can’t sigh in a text box, but rest assured I’m sighing. I want to love this, but it’s so popular, it’s almost lost any pink credit it once had. That’s the difficulty of listening to old music with current knowledge. As a boy in 1977, this probably would’ve scared me half to death and excited me, but then again, I’d have heard Black Sabbath and all the oddities of the 60’s and 70’s. We weren’t even that far from Thrash at this point. This album is fun, has some cool moments but will ultimately leave my brain almost immediately. I say this is fine. Johnny Rotten says BODDDDDIES, and I say, “this was pretty good.” Even if the name of the band has a dirty word in it. 3 HIGHLIGHTS: Bodies, God Save the Queen, Sub-Mission
Trailblazers etc. but boring prefer clash dated - none of my notes saved otherwise would be more detailed Again understand its historical but not enjoyable to listen to vocals ruin it
Yeah the message made in this very form and shape is clear and strong and I understand this album's significance and impact. Nevertheless all songs sound almost the same - it's just shouting and torturing the instruments. Also shouting not more than 10 words per song.
3.5
Great album but I Think too long
Obviously a classic, although it’s not something l’d listen to on my own.
I didn't super love it. The guitars were great but the punk sound is too dirty for me.
Not really a Sex Pistols fan
3/5
Classic punk or angry misogyny?
Like them better than I thought I would.
Good! The highs were definitely high :)
Yeah there's a reason this album is often in the top 100 albums list though, and it's mainly cause there was nothing quite like it before, and nothing really like it afterwards. Huge influence on music after 1977. There were 40 people saw the Sex Pistols at the Lesser Free Trade Hall in Manchester on 4 June 1976, they came away inspired. But they were inspired in a very Mancunian kind of way. Many people in the audience that night didn’t look at the Pistols and so much think: "I want to do that..." but instead, they looked at the young Londoners and thought "I could do way better than that!" there would be no Buzzcocks, Magazine, Joy Division, New Order, Factory Records no Happy mondays, no oasis... and that's just the manchester bands... Without the ones that got up and did something with this 'new music' there would be no Nirvana or Green Day, no Suede, no Killers, no Arctic Monkeys, no Interpol or Savages, no Blur, no Pavement, no Radiohead, Prodigy, no Arcade Fire. Having said all that the album sucks musically 3/5
I've never really cared much for the Sex Pistols but I can at least appreciate how influential this album is. It has a few highlights but it can also be very annoying at some points. Overall its just kind of average in my opinion. I think its valid to hate or love this album. What isn't valid is calling this the greatest, or even one of the greatest, punk albums of all time. There are so many better punk albums from this era, I'm so sick of seeing this mediocre album top so many lists. Just because something is influential doesn't necessarily mean it is good.. Favorite track: Anarchy in the U.K.
Je reconnais l’importance de cet album, pour le contexte historique, pour l’influence qu’il a eu pour la suite, etc. Je ne peux donc pas donner en bas de 3. Par contre, je n’ai pas eu de plaisir à l’écouter - ça à même été un peu souffrant à terminer - mis à part la dernière chanson « EMI », que j’ai vrai aimée.
All albums will be 1, 3 or 5 stars, with no further commentary or explanation given. Played via Spotify, re-listen.
Better than I remember, but I feel the lyrics are just a long line of immature statements about the UK's scared cows, I never thought there was ever much thought behind it, just trying to be provocative . 3.5*
All tha songs kinda sounded the same.
I looked up their story and it's super fascinating how the youth of England were like this. In it's context it's beautiful but as an everyday listener? I'm good. Maybe would come back to this once a year or so to remember the story
Meh overrated
Meh
This wasn't bad at all but I'm not sure I'd catch myself ever listening to it again.
Prefer Spunk to these recordings
3.5 on songs. 5 on import and impact.
Ehhh not usually my scene but I can appreciate it. Less cymbals than I expected which is good. Feels like the part in a movie where they’re in the UK and walk into a rough crowd club or a montage with Rodrick Heffley idk. I think I had to listen to some of this for my history of rock and roll class in college. 2.5 / 5 so I’m giving it a 3. I won’t take points off for this but this all sounds kinda like it could be the same song and now I’ve had enough Sex Pistols for the rest of my life. BUT I would listen again as background music.
surprisingly normal sounding
historic and influential, just not for me
Better than I was expecting but still quite crap, if very iconic. Bonus points for inspiring some bands with actual talent
That’s so punk rock
6/10 Album koji sam dosta puta cuo kao tinejdžer. Sta reci, jedan od najkultnijih punk albuma ikad, definirao je zanr i bivao zabranjen u mnogim ducanima i radijima diljem UK-a ali opet je nekako zavrsio na prvom mjestu album charta kod sebe doma. Problems i Anarchy In The UK su me vratile 20 godina unazad jer sam ih bas volio tad, iako se nisam smatrao pankerom u to vrijeme, a jos manje kasnije. EMI je isto bas oke buntovnicko pljuvanje po bivsem labelu. Danas mi nije žanr skroz po izboru ali nemam nikakvih problema s ovakvim albumima. Samo nemoj da predugo traje, a ne bude sigurno posto je punk u pitanju tako da smo okej. Opet, cak i uz dozu nostalgije nemrem ovom albumu dati vise od šestice jer, ono, postoji puno zanimljivije muzike od ovoga.
Lyrics: 2/5 Music: 3/5 Production: 3/5 Cohesiveness: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 Stand out songs: No feelings God save the queen Really well mixed with each instrument not getting in the way. Great drums with driving bass lines. Not really my thing but I can appreciate it Got very samey towards the end
It’s classic Brit Punk, perhaps the most famous punk band and record of all time. My main problem with the Sex Pistols is that so many other bands have done the same thing, but so much better. It’s not that this album is bad, it’s a classic for a reason, I guess it just feels so formulaic and tame by modern standards. “No Feelings” is and has always been my favourite track on this record, but there’s several live recordings that, in my opinion, are far better than what’s on this album. 3*
Cool bc they are punk legends but I personally need more melody
Personally this album was good but doesn’t live up to its legend. Probably a generational thing, it maybe suffers from me having heard everything it has inspired and then has improved on. Undoubtedly though one of the most important and inspirational albums of all time
Enjoyed this more than expected! Fun!
I liked this a lot more than I thought I would! Classic. 3.5
groundbreaking, important in music history, etc etc but I'd personally rather be listening to The Clash
I was told this was the greatest punk album of all time, but some people lie... like EMI
Favorite Track: Anarchy In The UK
Fun album but punk is not my thing anymore. Take away the punk and there's not much that this album offers. It's a piece of history for the music scene at that time.
pleasant
Even though I'm not a huge punk fan, this is not bad. It was probably super innovative back in the day. A really nice raw aggressive and emotional outpouring of music. Don't think I need to hear this again but I'm glad I heard it.
Not great, not terrible. I like punk, but this one was too simple
Highlights: God Save The Queen, Anarchy in the U.K., EMI. In a nutshell: Trademark punk. Drums and guitar are excellent. I was expecting more vitriol in Johnny’s voice compared to the lyrics (see No Feelings, Bodies). Unless time and over-saturation of Anarchy in The U.K. has dulled the impact. Didn't hate this album but not fawning over it. It's a "you need to hear it at least once" release for sure. Overall: 5/10
Good rock album. Definitely a vibe I’m into
Ja, det är ju punk. Det går fort, det skramlar och så vidare.
clear influence extending into current post-punk. hard to separate John Lyndon now vs then
Cool stuff. Not sure if I'd go out of my way to listen again.
Hyperaktiver Punk Album mit viel Power. Es ist das einzige Studioalbum der Band. Bezeichnend ist, das die finalen Mischungen so durcheinander waren, das niemand weiß welche aktuellen Bandmitglieder aktuellen gerade mit gewirkt haben. „Gos Save The Queen“ & „Anarchy in the UK“ sind prägnante Beispiele dieses Stils.
Riotous punk, an alright listen
Appreciate and respect the influence they had. Not a huge punk fan in general.
You can hear the influence the Sex Pistols had on music, and to do so with only 1 album is quite incredible to be honest. I'm just not a fan I'm afraid, I can appreciate it. Pretty monotonous to listen to a whole album in a sitting. That being said, ive given much worse albums a 3 and this isn't bad it's just not my taste, I can respect the music, the movement. John Lydon is pretty awful though 😂
Anger, politics, controversy, shock factor, aggression, bad language, attitude, this album has it all. Punk rock done properly. Love it!
I appreciate the impact, didn’t do too much for me
