== Synopsis ==
Decades after its release, Never Mind the Bollocks remains one of the most thrilling punk albums of all time. Its layers of fiery guitars and pummeling drums beneath Johnny Rotten's sneering, staccato call to arms still sound fresh and vital. Bracing sermons on British youth's bleak future, like "God Save the Queen" and "Anarchy in the U.K.," felt genuinely shocking, even threatening, in 1977. The band's sly humour and love of their musical forebears are more obvious today, but these tracks rock just as hard as they ever did.
== Background ==
Steve Jones shared about the composition, "Me and Cookie would lay down a backing track, sometimes John would be in there singing or sometimes not, then I'd put the bass down and build the track up with a few guitars here and there. I'm just playing eighth notes on the bass [on the whole album] with a couple of little riffs here and there—it was pretty simple."Chamberlain, Rich (5 May 2022).
