Revolting Cocks – Got Cock?


Review# 58

Revolting Cocks, or RevCo for short, is a side project of Ministry main-man Al Jurgensen and on this album is the only one of the three founding members. The name came from an incident when Al, along with founding members Richard 23 and Luc Van Acker, went to a bar to celebrate their new project and resulted in a brawl, when the owner threw them out he told them he was calling the cops and that they were a “bunch of revolting cocks” so they decided to keep the name.

Got Cock? Is the most recent output and sixth studio release by the band. Personally I feel it is the fun flip side of Al, at least to a degree anyway, but after the serious but provocative nature of Ministry it must be fun to provoke some shit in a fun way. The album is predominately about sex (but you would have guessed that already yeah?) but it is also very tongue and cheek through out most of it with the main exception being Fuck Money. The album is divided between Industrial Rock like Filthy Senoritas or Poke-A-Hot-Ass (… it's about Indians) and a heavier Industrial sound like Dykes or Juice.

Overall the album is solid and fun but it does get a little weak toward the end but does pick up again for Poke-A-Hot-Ass and Me So Horny (with samples from Full Metal Jacket), but I don't know if the remix of Me So Horny was necessary especially after listening to the original just before that and there is a remix of this entire album in the works as we speak.
