 A bit too polished for my tastes September 30, 2008
The songs are good, but the production is lousy. Where are the guitars? And why is Joey trying to sound like Mike Love? I can just see Johnny cringing when he got his acetate of the record, after being mixed.
 some people hate this record June 20, 2008
But I've always loved it. I'm completley biased because the first time I saw the Ramones it was in 1982 and this was their newest record. The songs are great and I always like the production much more than End of the Century (though I like that album a lot, too) and Subteranean Jungle (the only Ramones album I really don't like).
Try this one out, you might like. But make sure you have the first 4 and It's Alive.
And check out Mighty High...In Drug City.
 Another Great Ramones Album! January 19, 2008
Another great one from the long career of the Ramones. I like all of the songs here with "We Want The Airwaves", "The KKK Took My Baby Away" and "711" being the stand-outs. Great remaster with bonus material. These guys will never get the recognition they sooooo deserved and that is a real tragedy. Sadly the three main links are now gone. R.I.P. Joey, Johnny and Dee Dee.You will rock on forever....
I miss the Ramones so bad February 11, 2007
This is such a great poppy record. Everything on here was better than anything else that was out at the time (heck, it's even better than anything else that's out now) and every track here deserved to be a hit. I've had "You Sound Like Your Sick" stuck in my head non-stop for so many years now I can't imagine life without it. And Don't listen to people saying this record wasn't "punk". THe Ramones basically wrote the book on punk, therefore everything they do is by default 'punk'. I can't comment on the bonus tracks because I haven't gotten around to picking up this particular reissue yet, but by the looks of what's on there it looks like they'll sit beautifully beside the original 12 tracks.
Ramones are hangin' out in Kokomo. June 14, 2006
3 out of 6 found this review helpful
This Ramones album was originally released in 1981. Frustrated by their lack of record sales, the Ramones hired Graham Gouldman(of art-rock group 10cc) to produce this album, figuring he could help them achieve pop success. Of course, 10cc represented the opposite of what the Ramones were about, so it was a questionable decision. In the end it didn't work, this album didn't sell any better than their previous albums. The album does have more of a "pop" sheen to it than their earlier albums, which to my mind is not a good thing. There are some undeniable Ramones classics here; like "We Want the Airwaves", "The KKK Took My Baby Away" and "She's a Sensation". But there are also some good songs that could have turned out a whole lot better with better production; like "All Quiet on the Eastern Front" and "Come on Now". Then again, there are some mediocre songs that wouldn't have been that good no matter what; like "You Sound Like Your Sick" and "Sitting in My Room". The CD adds seven bonus tracks, all of which are songs that are worse than the ones that actually ended up on the album. This is not one of the Ramones better albums, but it does have it's moments, and many Ramones fans like it more than I do. I also have to say that this album has the worst cover of any Ramones album.
