AllMusic Review by Victor W. Valdivia
Years before Puff Daddy was taking flack for rewriting old songs, Jock McDonald was doing the same under the guise of the Bollock Brothers. The difference is that McDonald cheerfully passed the Bollocks off as a novelty act. Half the fun of a Bollock Brothers album is figuring out exactly which old classic is being rewired. The opening track, "Horror Movies," merely grafts silly lyrics about old horror movies onto the melody of the Zombies' "Spooky." "The Gift -2" is an amusing parody of the Velvet Underground's "The Gift," with new lyrics set in the video age (it's doubtful the references to Boy George were in the original). There are some attempts at depth, too. The title track is a gothic ballad that takes swipes at the Protestant Church. And, of course, like any good punk rocker worth his salt, McDonald attacks Ronald Reagan in "The Act Became Real." It's all in good fun, of course, but it's not really all that credible. The Bollocks aren't meant to be political, unless ridiculing old rock standards is some form of social protest. Listen for the jokes. The seriousness just gets in the way.
