If you're in the mood for some fun, well, "Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols" is just what you need!
Praised by critics as an album that has revolutionized Rock by spreading Punk worldwide, the only studio album by the Sex Pistols sounds like a rejection of society. There were many issues related to the album's title and the content of its lyrics. The record publicly attacks civil society, showing disdain for everything from institutions to aristocracy, all the way to Queen Elizabeth II, who is called a "moron" in the lyrics of "God Save The Queen". The fiery guitar in "Problems" adds even more fury to the album, while the frantic and almost obsessive guitar riff in "Submission" sparks a liberating fun.
Ondarock described it as "the album that definitively exploded Punk worldwide", while Rolling Stone ranked it among the top forty-one albums in history. An album that inevitably got millions of young people passionate about Punk, and gave a strong jolt to the world of Rock.
An attitude that deeply changed an era, an attitude that finds and has found one of its preferential communication channels in music.
"I am an antichrist, I am an anarchist..." Unhinged, irreverent, uncomfortable, and annoying... In short, fundamental.
Nevermind sweeps everything away; it’s a manifesto and a birth.
They are objectively ungovernable... iconoclasts with the sole purpose of offending.
Punk is not music but an expression of oneself.
The energy they transfer with 'Anarchy In The U.K.,' 'Liar,' 'No feelings,' 'God Save The Queen' and 'Holiday In The Sun' is like a bomb about to explode.
"God Save The Queen is perhaps the absolute pinnacle of punk rebellion; a spit in the face of everything, authority, religion, culture."
"The Sex Pistols were the true heralds of punk only during the period when they performed violent and nihilistic concerts; the very act of producing a record already goes against its founding principle."
We listened in silence. We were shaken and almost frightened.
I thought there was nothing more punk than a woman smiling like that.
