One thing that impresses the hell out of me is how much the Sex Pistols’ instrument slingers learned from making Never Mind the Bollocks. Like much of the Jones/Cook collaborations, the sound here is friggin’ monstrous without disintegrating into a wall of shit that’s all volume and little else. Musically, it’s all rock and roll bluster, more Professionals than Pistols, with some of the tracks sounding like they’d fit right in on a Cult album. Can’t say this was the crème de la crème of the month, but the man allegedly responsible for the music on virtually all the Pistols’ best known tunes still knows his way around a catchy hook and knows how to make it at least sound good.
