Artists very rarely think in terms of public statements or critical positions per se. They think through their creative work, and have to be judged on that basis. "Never Mind the Bollocks" was a huge step forwards, one of the key musical milestones on the way to hip hop, and almost every song is a classic in some way. Yes, there's cheap sexism/gay-bashing at work in some of the lyrics, but the work as a whole crackles with utopian multinational energy.

Hmm, I've never played Warhammer. I'm still trying to save up for a PS Triple.
