Editorial Reviews

Revolting Cocks Are God! Al Jourgensen/Ministry & RevCo Founder



In 2006, After a hiatus of nearly a decade, Al Jourgensen resurrected his delinquent side project The Revolting Cocks with the star-studded release Cocked & Loaded, which included appearances by members of ZZ Top, Cheap Trick, the Butthole Surfers, and Jello Biafra.



RevCo s 2009 sophomoric release on Jourgensen s 13th Planet indie imprint Sex-O Olympic-O features the incarnation of RevCo s live touring musicians from the hugely successful 2006 MasterBaTouR, for which The Revolting Cocks served as direct support to Ministry. With Jourgensen at the helm as producer and mixologist, Sex-O Olympic-O features the unique talents of vocalist Josh Bradford, guitarist Sin Quirin, and keyboardist Clayton Worbeck.



States Jourgensen: I ve found these three young knuckleheads that capture the true essence and spirit of being a Revolting Cock.



Sex-O Olympic-O is positioned to be RevCo s most cohesive and focused album to date. Stand-out tracks include the dance floor single I m Not Gay, the futuristic Hookerbot3000, the devilishly demented Cousins and the dark, dub-based, electro-funk fused Wizard of SexTown featured on the Saw V Soundtrack. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

2.0 out of 5 stars This ain't revco...but, April 9, 2009

There isn't anything about this album that even remotely resembles Revolting Cocks...Right down to the album art which seems to be heavily influenced by Rob Zombie.

OK, here's the scoop. Founder Jorgensen handed over the band with good intentions, but I feel that this reinvented band would better serve under it's own banner. It doesn't sound terrible, but if you're expecting the big sexy sounds of Revco of old then you're out of luck.

This band sounds like a pop rock band that tries to be edgy. It'll appeal to emo kids I'm sure. Will it appeal to Revco fans? Doubtful...

5.0 out of 5 stars A Most Pleasant Find, October 31, 2009

If you've never heard the music of the Revolting Cocks (REVCO) before, this is the release to buy (Although I love Cocked and Loaded and Beers, Steers, and Queers, etc.). Despite what other fans/critics of the music have stated in their reviews about the band not sounding the same in this new, updated 2009 configuration, I found the musicianship and compositions to be outstanding. Every track on this release is ultra-strong.

This is a side-project of Illinois' (and now Texas') Ministry, but REVCO seems to be grounded in a spirit of humor (some dark, some sophomoric) and musical experimentation - with pounding drum beats (programmed and live), nasty distorted guitar riffs, and lots of excellent "noise" (samples and such) thrown in for good measure.

There are techno aspects and some industrial-metal aspects to the band's sound, but it's difficult to categorize their music under the aegis of one sound, or genre. There are those who will probably vehemently disagree with what I am about to say: if you are a fan of Steve Albini and Big Black (Chicago band), then you'll truly appreciate REVCO (2009),there's a similar philosophy of music, here, but not necessarily a similar style of music that the two bands share. One requires the same mind-set in order to truly appreciate these groups.

The CD art on Sex-O Olympic-O is outstanding, a throwback to pulp art, old movie posters and soft cover detective (private dick) novels. Stand out tracks (although, as stated above, one will not be skipping tracks on this disk) are as follows: Hookerbot 3000; Red Parrot; Robo Bandidos; Cousins; Lude Ferigno; and, the spectacular I'M NOT GAY!

It's listed as a 2009 release for 13th Planet Music, and I got it at a second-hand shop for next to nothing. I'm just happy that the person that traded this disk in didn't have what it takes to appreciate this band, because quite literally, this is one of the best music purchases I've made this year.

In fact, I traded an o-so-lame Black Label Society CD for it.

Viva La Cocks . . .

4.0 out of 5 stars A strong 70s dance feel mixed with some 90s techno/industrial, September 3, 2009

The Good
"HookerBot3000" is out future according to the band, and it's set to a seductive beat. Al Jourgensen's signature vocal effect portray a futuristic feel and time. "Red Parrot" delivers some commanding guitars to the hypnotic beats that the group have been putting forth thus far. Clearly the Revolting Cocks has an affliction for a robotic future as they delve into the future of cowboys with "Robo Banditos." No subject is too taboo for the REVCO with "Cousins." Despite its cringe inducting implications, the track is rather catchy. "Abundant Redundancy" is an all out aural assault with guitars and electronic effect fighting it out for your attention.

The Bad
Do you like your Al Jourgensen hard rock or techno/industrial?

The Verdict
It's good to hear that Jourgensen hasn't walked away from the music scene, only Ministry (for now I'm sure). If you've never heard the Revolting Cocks before (like me) than you'll be surprised to hear a strong 70s dance feel mixed with some 90s techno/industrial. Think early Ministry or KMFDM with less guitars. Sex-O Olympic-O is just as hot and powerful as any Ministry album, just with fewer guitars and angry rants. The album is highly sexual and taboo at times, and is set to some of the most come-hither beats you'll ever hear.
