Your say: Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols

Never Mind the Bollocks was the first and only studio album by the punk band Sex Pistols. The album was released in the UK on October 28, 1977 by Virgin Records label immediately causing controversy over the inclusion of the word "Bollocks" in the title. This pretentious album is considered the wildest LP that rock 'n' roll had since then, the album has 12 very direct songs, with a very minimalistic sound,  which is crowned with a very acidic lyrics and an overwhelming invasion of sharp guitars.

Sex Pistols The disc opens with "Holidays in the Sun," a powerful theme that begins with a military march as a sonic warning about that the invasion is a reality, the second cut, "Bodies" is critic to abortion, "No Feelings" and "Liar" are two very visceral and crushing sound issues that devastate consciences with his lyrics, very angry and honest. "Good Save the Queen" is a hymn of all time, a very ambitious track, which leads to the continuity of "Problems" and thereupon to the youth of "Seventeen" . Then we find "Anarchy in the UK", "Submission" and "Pretty Vacant", three very enveloping songs and above all very emaciated, devastating reality by the Western world and the hopelessness of his youth. In the end we come to "New York" and "EMI", two important controversial songs.

Finally, I recommend this album to everyone even if you don't like punk it's a classical LP, a must-hear and essential to understand the evolution of the genre thorughtout the decades. Never Mind the Bollocks marked a turning point in music of the 20th century.
