 What's up my bitches, I am in a good mood today, had an awesome weekend with my lady friend so I thought I would review the best punk rock, in your face fucking album ever - The Sex Pistols- Never Mind The Bollocks.This album is a classic and if it's not in your collection then give yourself an uppercut, it is an absolute gem of an album and is still relevant today as it was back then (1977). This album represents everything that was wrong with the Uk back in the late 70's (Queen's jubilee, everyone caught up in national patriotic fervour while all the problems of government interference, police, big business shit on us and yet we are distracted by menial bullshit that the media feeds us!) and yes it is still wrong today. The album opens with 'Holidays In The Sun' and what a song, brutal guitar, snarling singing and great lyrics with its Nazi rally opening and a swipe at middle class tourists in its first line: ‘A cheap holiday in other people’s misery’ it's all about distractions that take us away from the realities of life. The next song 'Bodies' has all the hallmarks of a classic punk song, lots of swearing and full-on music and lyrics like this - “Die little baby screaming! Body screaming f*cking bloody mess! Not an animal, it's an abortion! Body! I'm not animal! Mummy I'm not an abortion.” fan fucking tastic a song about abortion -WTF!. The next song is ,'No Feelings' a song about people's escapism and praying to God or higher powers as if that would somehow fix all the problems. The next song is 'Liar' a song about politicians and their manager is a aural explosion. Then we move onto the classic and their most famous song 'God Save The Queen' the driving music and the vile and hate filled lyrics are an anthem to all the poverty stricken people who struggle whilst the rulers eat and sleep in luxury - "God save the Queen and her fascist regime" is an anthem for all those people living in the UK at the time of economic chaos, social disarray, and other issues like mass immigration, welfare dependency, terrorism, cold war paranoia and high unemployment, it's no wonder that this song along with 'Anarchy in The UK' became a call to arms for the youth in the UK who really faced no future. The song led to the government rigging the charts to stop it getting to number 1, they also charged record stores that displayed this album for indecency what a fucking joke. 'Problems' is the next song is awesome again that grinding noise filled music and really insightful lyrics make this song a ripper. 'Seventeen' is the next song about being lazy and having no purpose, (you hear that Redi, no purpose, just like you, you waste of sperm!) Next is 'Anarchy In The UK' what a fucking awesome song, fuck it, let's just do whatever the fuck we feel like and from the opening lyrics "I am an anti-Christ/I am an anarchist" we see the raw talent and power of this punk rock group. Loud go for the throat music make this one of my all time favourite songs - it makes me want to go out and destroy! The next song 'Submission' is one of the fun songs on the album, they wrote it after their manager wanted them to do a song about bondage - so to fuck him off they wrote about a submarine dive instead (Sub-Mission) pretty smart. Then we move onto 'Pretty Vacant' a song about social pretenses and it was the song that took them to the top of the NME charts it was said to be have been inspired by ABBA's song S.O.S. and it is a really cool song. 'New York' is the next track and is aimed squarely at the posers in particular the New York Dolls, who talked the talk but didn't walk the walk - ie drug fucked idiots who try so hard to be cool, it is really a dissing song, like rappers do nowadays, (yet they were doing it in 1977!). The last song is 'EMI' and is hate filled spew at their record company who dumped them after all the controversy over 'God Save The Queen' a real thrashy, punk rock song and an excellent way to end a classic album. I am giving this 6 shots of whiskey out of 5 and believe that this album belongs in your collection, because the musical freedom that we enjoy today was because bands like the Sex Pistols decided that they can make music anyway they fucking liked and if people wanted to buy it they can. It is raw, primal and punk rock at it's absolute best - get it you will not be disappointed. Go out and get it fuck ya! Until next week peace out my bitches! |
Hello my bitches, today I will be reviewing the awesomeness that is Metallica. Now I like their old stuff better than their new stuff so I am reviewing what I think was one of their most definitive albums - '...And Justice For All'. I was fortunate enough to see them in concert for the tour of this album and it was fucking unreal.
The album starts with the song 'Blackened' opens with a monster riff right from the get go it is a ripper of a track. We then move onto the title track 'And Justice For All' coming in at a whopping 9:44 it is a really long track, but it is so hard and heavy and with lyrics like this "Hammer of justice crushes you, overpower . . ." it is hard to deny the raw power of this song of injustice.
The next track 'Eye of The Beholder' opens with a very military sound, from the heavy riff to the drum beat, it is a killer song and one of the best on the album.The next song 'One' I have a soft spot for and rate it as one of the best songs ever, period. It starts so slow and builds up into a crescendo of thrash metal guitars and the drums from lars are first class, that is what makes this song something truly extraordinary. The song is a lament about a limbless soldier who steps on a landmine, and it is a master class in metal.
We then move onto 'The Shortest Straw' is a powerhouse of guitar riffs and frenetic drumming that gives this song a real thrash metal sound and those riffs are unbelievable! 'Harvester of Sorrow' is the next track and it starts off slowly with a grinding guitar and smashing drums and then the vocals kick you in the head!
'The Frayed Ends Of Sanity' is just pure headbanging bliss. The we move onto 'To Live is To Die' an instrumental and tribute to Cliff Burton their previous bass guitarist who died. Sad, melancholy and brilliant it rates right up there with `Pulling Teeth', `Orion' and `The Call Of Ktutlu' and I take my hat off to any band that sticks to their principals and plays all 9:48 seconds, fuck what the record companies say and honestly it works, just metal brilliance.
The last track is 'Dyers Eve' a piece of thrash metal to leave you emotionally raw, the relentless guitar, the driving drums is a fitting way to end a classic Metallica album, that introduced everyone to the power of thrash metal. This alum is an absolute fucking ride and I am giving it 5 shots of whiskey out of 5.

This is one of Metallica's greatest albums and accomplishments a true heavy metal experience when they were still raw and full of fight, power, guts and glory which ios what makes this album so incredible. Now go out and get this album to add to your collection.
