9 Big Cock – Motherload (Release Year – 2008)
Lock up your daughters! Big Cock has returned with album #3, called Motherload! With the third new disc in five years, Big Cock has certainly been quite busy.
I won’t hide the fact that I am a fan of Robert Mason’s vocals. I have enjoyed his work in each band I have followed him in (Lynch Mob, Cry of Love, Silent Witness) including Big Cock. He hasn’t disappointed me yet.
This CD, without question is the best Big Cock release yet. I found Motherload to be a little heavier and a bit more upbeat than the first two Big Cock discs.
The first two records had a song that I didn’t care for here or there. This is not the case with Motherload. There isn’t a bad song on the disc. Motherload rocks pretty hard all the way through. The exception is the ballad, Don’t Ask Me To Be Faithful, which is a solid tune as well.
My favorite cuts on this record are Breaking My Balls, M.I.L.F., and Built For Speed. The band wrote my theme song, with the tune Live to Rock!
The band stays true to their roots, and as a result, have created another disc, that is sure to appeal to most fans of 80’s hard rock. You can check out some of the new tunes at Big Cock’s myspace page! You may find yourself reserving a copy shortly thereafter. Motherload will hit most online stores in February.

0 Big Cock – S/T (Release Year – 2006)
In 2005, Robert Mason joined up with his buddy David Henzerling (a.k.a. David Michael-Philips – King Kobra, Keel, Lizzy Borden) to form Big Cock.
This self titled disc is the 2nd studio release by Big Cock. If you heard the first disc, Year of the Cock, you already probably familiar with this band’s 80’s Hard Rock Sound. The sound has not changed on Big Cock’s sophomore effort. They lyrics may be a little more explicit at times, and
some of lyrics are dripping with sexual humor.
There are a few stand out tracks on this disc, including Real Man, Ride on Me, Real Hard, Get Me Up and the straight forward cover of the Tom Jones’ song, She’s A Lady.
Real Man
Ride on Me
So Easy Bein’ Me has a punk feel to it, and reminds me of when Motley Crue covered Anarchy in the UK.
I could have lived without a couple of the songs, including the 50’s sounding Scottsdale Girls, and country flavored Let’s Make Love. Both of these tracks seem out of place here. The lyrics for Scottsdale Girls are kind of funny, but something about this song has a 50’s, Jimmy Buffett, Beach Boys, bubble gum type of feel about it.
I wonder if Robert Mason is about ready to bust a gut, while trying to keep a straight face singing Every Inch of My Love. The lyrics are pure cheese, but this is still a cool sounding track. This is the closest thing you will get to a power ballad from Big Cock.
Take Me and Booze My Baby are ok tracks, but are nothing special.
As a whole, I tend to like this Big Cock disc, a little more than the debut effort. Big Cock’s sound and delivery are constant on both discs, and are a solid listen. This disc still wont make Robert Mason a household name, but it sounds like he enjoys what he is doing, and that comes across in the music.
Neither one of the Big Cock discs will set your world on fire, but if you like bands with that great 80’s hard rock sound, and are a fan of bands like Lynch Mob, and AC/DC, you will probably want to both of them. If you pick one, I’d say this is the one to get.

4 Big Cock – Year of the Cock (Release Year – 2005)
Big Cock features former Lynch Mob, and Cry of Love vocalist Robert Mason, and former King Kobra guitarist Dave Henzerling a.k.a. David Michael-Philips.
Sonically, this music reminds me of a cross between Lynch Mob and Mr. Big, with a dash of sleaze thrown in for good measure.
There are quite a few catchy numbers on this somewhat short disc. 12 songs and a 25 second filler track to close this disc for a total run time of under 36 minutes.
Bad Motherfucker is immediately infectious and will set your hopes high for the rest of the disc. I Want It All has a very Lynch Mob feel to it. I like this track a lot.
Cinnamon grates on my nerves every time I hear it. I do not like the lyrics at all. I usually skip to King of Cool which is a (no pun intended) a very cool track.
Carrie’s In Love slows it down, and sound a lot like a Mr.Big track. I never cared for that band much, but I do like this track pretty well.
Mean Street Machine kicks it into gear. This is a great track.
I had to look at the credits to see if George Lynch was playing on Take It Off. The layered guitars on this song sound exactly like an older Lynch Mob track.
Dynamite rocks pretty heavy, but lyrically could have been a little better.
My first reaction when hearing Hard To Swallow was wtf is this crap. It sounds like a fusion of 50’s music, and Mr. Big. I still skip this track.
Thank God, Old No. 7 didn’t follow the pattern of the last track. It is a pretty good song, but no where near as good as You Suck the Love Out of Me. Some of the vocals remind me of Axl Rose’s growliness on a old G N R track.
Year of the Cock closes this disc with a mid tempo rock song. It is an ok song, but certainly not classic.
As a whole, this is a pretty decent debut effort from these hard rock veterans.
Both Big Cock discs are getting released to wider distribution in January, so you should be able to find these in more retailers soon.
