Part comedy, part semi-serious political message. Jones' guitar is immense throughout. The tight rhythm section holds it all together. You can almost feel the snarl coming out of Rotten. Bollocks is not a musical masterpiece, but a fun record all the same. One album and then you're done. That's the way to do it.
This album changed my life when I first heard it. However, I don't feel it has aged well, or that I ever need to play it again, in the way I still do with the subsequent PiL albums. Or pretty much anything by the Velvet Underground. Lyrically it has it amazing moments, along with the bits that have aged as well as Lydon himself (New York, for example). I'm both glad this existed AND that we have thankfully moved on musically from what is a fairly basic rock and roll record at its heart,save for Lydon's presence.
