Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Popular Reviews

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

3/5

There was a comedy sketch that spoofs American Bandstand in which one of the "audience/dancers" is asked about a song, and they responded "It's got a good beat Dick, but I'm to white to dance to it." It might have on In Living Color. Anyway, that's kind of how I felt about this album. Musically it sounded great for the most part. Lyrically I can't relate to it. Nor would I listen to it again.

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

3/5

I like Steely Dan but I'd probably only listen to a few of the songs on this album.

Abbey Road

Beatles

2/5

A couple of hits but otherwise kind of meh.

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

4/5

Really enjoyed this album.

Hits & Misses

Exit Planet Dust

The Chemical Brothers

4/5

Loved it. Kept me awake while doing inventory.

The Slim Shady LP

Eminem

4/5

Great album. Held up really well for 25 years.

The xx

2/5

I really like the intro, too bad the rest of the album didn't follow that style as lyrically its kind of meh. The beathy vocals were a bit over done.

Automatic For The People

R.E.M.

3/5

There really isn't much that I can say about this album that already hasn't been said, except that it isn't Chronic Town, which is by far my favorite REM album.

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

5/5

Fun album. Takes me back to my spiked hair, torn jeans, combat boots, and leather jacket days in the 80s.

What's That Noise?

Coldcut

3/5

Not bad. Not great. I did get a Meat Beat Manifesto vibe off the last song. I wouldn't add it to my collection but i also wouldn't change the song if it found it's way into a playlist on YouTube.

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

4/5

Destroy Rock & Roll

Mylo

4/5

Added this one to my library.

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

3/5

Not bad. Some of the covers were good. Some not so much. And why did he cover Personal Jesus? Hurt made sense. Bridge Over Troubled Water, okay. His voice works for those and a couple others. But not Depeche Mode.

C'est Chic

CHIC

3/5

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

3/5

Not bad. I was picturing a bunch of ballerina doing there own interpretive dance to this and it being rather chaotic, while Lee Marvin runs around the stage in a panic dressed like a 1930s P.I. Come to think of it, I'd probably watch that movie.

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

Well I'm more familiar with with Jimi's music than I was. The album was pretty cool in spite of it feeling a little all over the place. I'd listen to it again but i don't feel compelled to add it to my library.

Violent Femmes

4/5

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

3/5

Southern Rock Opera

Drive-By Truckers

3/5

Not bad.

Here Are the Sonics

The Sonics

3/5

Pretty cool. I won't be adding this to my library, but I won't be mad if YT Music's algorithm tossed it in to the super mix it rolls out for me.

Synchronicity

The Police

4/5

I forgot how great this album is.

Coles Corner

Richard Hawley

4/5

This was a bit of a surprise. As the first song started i was expecting a whole album of crooning in the vein of Frank Sinatra and similar artists. Which would be rather boring while one walks the 23 acres of production buildings to make sure all the mechanical equipment is working. So the rockabilly sounds were a nice surprise.

Murder Ballads

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

3/5

I don't think it's as good as some of his other albums like From Her to Eternity.

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

4/5

Very good album. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I will be adding this to my YTM Library.

Technique

New Order

4/5

New Order is one of my favorite bonds. While isn't onevof my favorites from them, its still worth listening to from beginning to end.

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

3/5

Fever Ray

3/5

Each song started sounding the same and not as good as the previous song.

A Night At The Opera

Queen

3/5

Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables

Dead Kennedys

5/5

I might be biased because this is one of my all time favorite albums.

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

5/5

Steve McQueen

Prefab Sprout

Very beetlesesque. Not bad.

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

3/5

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

5/5

Probably one of the greatest rock albums of all time. It displays a great depth both musically and lyrically.

Ritual De Lo Habitual

Jane's Addiction

5/5

Love this album. It's a great sophomore effort for an amazing band.

Elvis Presley

2/5

IMO, Elvis is overrated and his music is boring.

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels

Dexys Midnight Runners

3/5

Music Has The Right To Children

Boards of Canada

4/5

Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde

The Pharcyde

5/5

Loved it.

Revolver

Beatles

4/5

Probably my favorite Beetles album. That said, some of the songs are mediocre at best. And the ones that stand out for me are those that stepped out of the norm for it's time. Like Taxman and Yellow Submarine.

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

5/5

Fantastic album. Lyrics, guitar, bass, and drums are all top notch.

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

5/5

It's The Smiths. They will always get a 5 from me.

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

4/5

I actually hadn't heard this album before and I love Radiohead.

B-52's

The B-52's

5/5

This rocks lobsters so clearly it deserves a 5 star revue.

...And Justice For All

Metallica

4/5

Metalica is very good at what they do.

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

4/5

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

5/5

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

3/5

I get that everyone loves Stevie and he's very good at what he does, but this album is like processed food. High fructose corn melodies in every song. Nothing really innovative. Nothing really stands out.

Graceland

Paul Simon

4/5

I own thos album. Its pretty great.
