I can see how people might think it's 'overproduced' for a punk album but it still sounds sorta tacky like a punk album should. Any less well produced or performed and it'd be too amateurish any more and it'd be too proffesional. They lyrics and themes seem stunningly original to me to and brilliant. I just love some of those lyrics. Bodies? What the **** is that!!! Who ever came up with something like that before? Bodies actually has a mini overture to it which is a very inspired idea from Jonesy or Glen Matlock or whoever came up with that. They're very ominous chords aren't they which just sets you up for what's to come perfectly. I never get over how original and exciting and powerful the Pistols music is well the songs from when Rotten was in them. It was such a freak of fortune that that band ended up together.
