Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Popular Reviews

Post Orgasmic Chill

Skunk Anansie

5/5

A really interesting album, even if it's hard rock it never abuses the sounds of that peculiar style, instead it uses a lot of electronic sounds and mixes really beautiful and natural instruments and artificial sounds. The voice is strange, it isn't something you would expect from that kind of style but definitely give it a lot of uniqueness

Da Capo

Love

5/5

Short songs but with a lot of quality except for the last song which is long and at some point it could boring, however in general it's an album that I enjoyed a lot, relaxing but with a lot of energy.

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

4/5

The album give some vibes of the 80's, it starts very energetic and then slows down the pace of the music. The voice is great in every song and the instruments were great.

Heroes

David Bowie

5/5

This album starts with 2 songs that are fast and can dance to them, then "Heroes" starts and give some peace to the album however it finishes with a lot of energy and the next song starts the same, the following songs are strange and give you the sensation of being somewhere you don't know but you miss, "neuköln" finishes this trip following the sensation of the previous songs but finishes like a nightmare that wasn't scary, just a nightmare. The last song it's just there to finish the trip with a sensation of loss of memory after the trip. This album starts like almost any other song of Bowie, however I didn't expect the end of the album.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

3/5

This album seems to be important to the US in the 60's and Bob Dylan is capable of doing that, however the album it's just repetitive in the music but all the lyrics just represent a moment in history

Melodrama

Lorde

4/5

The album starts like almost any other pop album, however as the following songs starts, all the songs sound melancholic, like she misses something but at the same time is happy to let the past be. The last song give this feeling of overcoming this part of her life but she will miss those days.

Suede

5/5

This album is great in the music, even if a some of them sounds like the same, each one has something special, also the voice and the lyrics give the album that touch that no other can offer, this starts from the cover which could cause controversy, however as you listen the album, the purpose change is more clear, make you think about life as we live.

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

5/5

A unique style of a lot of musical genres. It's a combination of old styles of rock however this songs aren't boring and the others were a lot more interesting because that was the moment of the hard rock.

The Message

Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five

2/5

The album seems to be something revolutionary and fresh, however a lot of song were to boring and long, all of the songs have some bit of interesting, however the lenght of the songs make them less enjoyable. Only the first and fourth were the most interesting and valuable. Even if the quality was kinda low it seems to be a historically speaking, an important album

Seventh Tree

Goldfrapp

4/5

At Budokan

Cheap Trick

5/5

This could be the definition of the right thing at the right time, from 1978, the era of this kind of rock, this album, even if you don't know this band, will give you the feeling of that era. I don't like much albums recorded from concerts, however this one it's just the right choice.

The Slim Shady LP

Eminem

5/5

The alter ego of Eminem, someone sarcastic who speaks about being poor, drugs and all of the problems about this. A lot of rhymes very well developed to tell a story. This album could cause a lot of polemic to people, but not for the topics that it speaks but by the way it touches that topics, however remembering that is an alter ego and a sarcastic album, it's one of the greatest of Eminem

Fisherman's Blues

The Waterboys

4/5

This album don't look interesting at first view, but listening to this will let you enjoy what the folk and rock were at first, however two or three song were kinda boring and that's ok, because it starts and finishes with great songs.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

5/5

Just good old school rock, the only problem I found is the duration of the album it is just too long, however it never gets boring

The Healer

John Lee Hooker

4/5

I'm not sure how to describe this album, it's not a perfect album but also it isn't bad, it's just blues that I could enjoy listening from time to time. Some songs are repetitive but even that doesn't make the album boring it's just a peculiar album

Snivilisation

Orbital

5/5

A peculiar album, even the repetitiveness of the album doesn't make it boring, it makes you follow a kinda dream. It's just so interesting to hear but I don't think it's and album to hear everyday or every moment

Da Capo

Love

5/5

In The Wee Small Hours

Frank Sinatra

4/5

A relaxing but never boring album, short songs with a lot of meaning about love, loneliness, etc. Even if this album is great it isn't the best album of Sinatra, at some point for some people could get repetitive.

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

4/5

Another great album by The Smiths, its own unique style make this album kinda in terms of message and meaning but it's a peaceful album. The combination of rhythms give this album its uniqueness, even if us classified it as alternative rock, it's just The Smiths style

Live 1966 (The Royal Albert Hall Concert)

Bob Dylan

2/5

Bob Dylan style is unique, you love it or hate it, it seems to be that there's no middle point. In this album, the first half is so boring, the old Dylan singing with his guitar and the infinite armonica, however the second half have more energy but it doesn't make it less boring. For me Dylan is a great writer but a "bad" musician, but even that doesn't make the lyrics more clear it's just an enjoyable literature disaster.

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

4/5

First a kinda boring album musically speaking, but the lyrics has some meaning, however at the end it's just chaos. It's hard to tell if is a good or bad album but is so interesting to know that a band could have a very experimental album.

Drunk

Thundercat

5/5

A relaxing album with some good lyrics not all songs are the same but all of them have the same vibes. It's a recent album so it's not that "classic" art, it's more like interpretative but guided art.

Different Class

Pulp

4/5

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

5/5

This album it's a combination of alt rock, some grunge, acoustic and acoustic rock. It starts with a lot of energy like an alt rock album should be, then some punk starts to play and as the album goes on, the music is like a roller coaster, a lot of relaxing acoustic comes and then a hit of alt rock abusing in a good sense of the electric instruments.

Woodface

Crowded House

4/5

Relaxing album with some good lyrics, really nothing extraordinary. At some point it could get kinda boring but some changes on the tone and rhythm used make it more interesting, as said, nothing extraordinary.

Treasure

Cocteau Twins

5/5

I don't know how to describe this album but I enjoyed a lot the mysticism around all songs. Also, the voice in all the song are just part of the music, that's why the lyrics aren't too complex.

Buffalo Springfield Again

Buffalo Springfield

4/5

It isn't my favorite genre but I don't hate it, this album also isn't the greatest thing but is good enough. This album is just some good music yo have in the background while doing other things

The Slider

T. Rex

4/5

Another 'meh' album, not so good, not bad, it isn't boring but some songs just are the same. Some songs are entertaining but not all the album, the full album is more like something, again, I would listen to while doing other things.

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

4/5

The album it's interesting 'cause it has a lot of styles, it's an album that combines so many styles that is hard to find a good classification of this album. Generally some songs are great and have a meaning lyrically and historically speaking, however it seems that this album is not the greatest work by the beach boys.

Post Orgasmic Chill

Skunk Anansie

5/5

Deserter's Songs

Mercury Rev

5/5

This album is what I think psychedelic sound like, the great combination of instruments and the changes in the voice give it a beautiful sound. The first song alone it's great, however the following songs are just good too. In between some songs there are some recordings that gives the album a more natural look.

Low-Life

New Order

4/5

This album is kinda neutral, it has a good style, but only the first songs were that significant, reading a little bit more about this band this seems to be more commercial and it feels like it. However it's good enough to listen sometimes.

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

5/5

Very energetic, and repetitive, like the punk should be. Someone could find it too pop, however this is why punk is more popular, stopped from being just noise with lyrics to be lyrics with good noise.

Surrealistic Pillow

Jefferson Airplane

3/5

Another "meh" album, the first song is really good and full of energy but the others are just there, not great, not bad and kinda boring

Frampton Comes Alive

Peter Frampton

4/5

The album it's unnecessary long but I can understand that is because it's a concert. At some point it could get boring, however the style of the concert makes this less probable, it starts with a shot of energy and then introduces an acoustic song and next a song with more energy, that's the formula of this particular album.

A Grand Don't Come For Free

The Streets

2/5

A really experimental album, boring sometimes. The lyrics are great and the albums seems more like an excuse to have an audiobook with poems and a beat to "rap". Only two songs can be saved from the album, but even those are strange

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

5/5

Generally speaking I don't know exactly how to judge jazz, however I loved the "sweetness" of the sax it wasn't agressive or too passive, it was just on point. The timing of the percussions also was perfect, really it was one of the best jazz albums.

Bongo Rock

Incredible Bongo Band

5/5

Even if the principal instrument is a bongo and the rest of the music are percussions it isn't repetitive. This album have the videogame soundtrack vibes, the only issue is the duration, it's really long but enjoyable

The Stranger

Billy Joel

5/5

An interesting album from the cover, like many artists the magic of Joel is in their lyrics, some more complicated than others, but also a lot of magic it's in the music itself. A strange combination of relaxing rythms with some acoustic rock, a really enjoyable album.

Violent Femmes

4/5

This album has some interesting "figures" with the guitar and the bass and also the voice of the singer make the album interesting. It's also a very peculiar rock the album has this grunge style with classic rock. However a big part of the album sound the same which could make it kinda boring but with no doubt it's a good album to listen to.

Tracy Chapman

5/5

This album is very interesting in their lyrics, an album about social and political critic, no over complicated lyrics, just to the point with some poetic sense. Also the voice of Tracy makes this album even better.

Wild Gift

4/5

The name of the band it's interesting and this album is interesting too. The punk style in this album is great and even if the voices weren't that great, it's part of the punk, no need to beautify the music when you only need to express something. Even if the album is so good, it needs something to be perfect

Technique

New Order

4/5

The Wall

Pink Floyd

5/5

This album is a full experience, none of the songs could be a favorite, maybe "Another brick in the wall (Part 2)" but even that song is just better with the previous and the next ones. Is the experience of listening to a story which is told not only by the lyrics but from all the instruments.

Make Yourself

Incubus

4/5

It's an interesting album because even if it is an alt rock album, it combines some artificial and electronic sound to make a kinda rap part in the album. The only problem is the duration, it can get boring at some point because even if it's rock it has some peace in the sound.

Welcome to the Afterfuture

Mike Ladd

4/5

It's an interesting album, even if it's hip hop, the mos interesting part is the music by itself.

All Directions

The Temptations

3/5

It isn't the worst album, however it became boring really fast. It's interesting in the use of the beat and instruments, but is really long and boring

Take Me Apart

Kelela

5/5

This is a great album, it is modern and has a lot of interesting sounds and lyrics. The right combination of electronic music and a kinda pop style of singing

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

5/5

It's a two part album but really well combined. Every song is a complete experience but all combined is even better, the only issue I could find is that the album is long, however it is great.

Winter In America

Gil Scott-Heron

4/5

This is an interesting album in their lyrics and the music a little bit too, it isn't a unique genre musically speaking but it is a "songwriter" album. It's relaxing in the music and the voice, however that doesn't means that it talks about something trivial.

Songs Of Love And Hate

Leonard Cohen

3/5

Joan Baez

4/5

At first sight it seems a really normal album of folk, however it's interesting that "the house of the rising sun" is present and also a song from Roberto Cantoral who wrote a lot of songs very popular in spanish

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

5/5

I didn't knew what to expect from this album, but it is really great. It has a lot of "experimental" sounds that are really good for all the songs. However the middle of the album is very similar, so it could became boring, but even that doesn't mean that all the album is boring. It needs that "something" to be better, but in general is very good

Who's Next

The Who

4/5

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

3/5

Moby Grape

4/5

Pink Flag

Wire

5/5

This album is full of energy and new sounds, I can see why is the inspiration of a lot of great albums of that age. The sound of the bass is there, not just for armony but just like a guitar, this give the album a better sound.

American Pie

Don McLean

4/5

This album is different from the other albums of folk or songwriters, it includes some sounds of rock however not all the album is like this, it keeps that folk sound.

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

5/5

It is not the kind of music you would expect for an album like that, but at every time is great.

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

4/5

The first song is great, it's the essence of the country. The rest of the album is also great but not as the first song. The voice of Dolly Parton is great.

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

5/5

This album is so good It's just Red Hot Chilli Peppers, there's no genre in it, however the album is long and some songs are not that good
