Singles slap. Everything else is repetitions of the same.
Great rebellious sound but repetitive.
It’s the Ramones, man
This kind of thing always seems strangely tame for the controversy it stirred in it's time. The "slide 40th Anniversary Edition" with it's endless remixes, mono remixes, original stereo and mono album versions, live cuts and demos seems decidedly un-punk somehow. Still all part of the Hit Machine.
Just New York being cool as fuck again. Young, dumb and full of... you know... ;). Simultaneously deliberate and ramshackle, which makes it intoxicating.
A lot of fun and upbeat. Save for the most popular songs, the rest felt too similar and unoriginal, like rehashes with the same upbeat rhythm.
Enjoyable album with catchy songs however it tended to get very repetitive.
Boppy, pretty good
Listened to before. It‘s definitely the Ramones, quite distinctively - however, a bit repetitive.
3, es bueno pero muy monótono
I love the story of the Ramones, I love the idea of the Ramones and I love all the bands would never have existed without their inspiration. But their albums are patchy. On this, there are a handful of genuinely great songs, and then several more that are almost the same, but less memorable. Very much a band where a good compilation of the best songs is all you need to hear (I recommend the two disc Ramones Anthology)
In the age of classic rock and prog, I can see how this album would have been groundbreaking and a huge breath of fresh air. That said, I don't think it aged well at all. I find the production kind of harsh, and as many other reviews have pointed out every song sounds identicle.
Not my style at all, sorry Love the AO advert though
Contains the classic from the soundtrack of "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3": "Blitzkrieg Bop". Bad ass rock but very short (only 29 mins).
I think if I grew up in NYC in the mid 70's this would have been my jam. 50 years later it is a bit one note and lo-fi for my taste.
Certainly it all sounds similar and there’s not much interesting stuff going on. But for me it does capture the essence of rock and roll in its breeziness and refusal to give a shit. Probably a 2.5 for me, but will give it a 2 (as in fairness I probably won’t be back to listen to it again).
I understand its importance obviously. It’s one of the first punk albums ever and I’m grateful for its existence. That being said, it’s so boring. It drags on despite having such a short runtime because all the songs sound almost entirely same. This is being boosted up just by the first track.
Monday, 31 August, 2026 Eh. The hits are good. Judy is a punk is the best track.
Sempre a mesma coisa. Ao menos foi menos de 30 min
O ja. Die lui van het vaak geciteerde 'Héy, ho, let's go'. Iemand moest het op zijn naam krijgen... Het staat als punk genoteerd en dat kan veel gekker dan dit. Ze hebben nog wel een riedeltje in elkaar gedraaid. Maar goed, om dan dat riedeltje elk nummer te herhalen...
Tried to like it but I mean.. Its just 2 different songs with bland lyrics over and over.
son todos los temas iguales culia
The Chronic when Dr. Dre mentions smoking weed Luke: I hate The Chronic. All they talk about is drugs. 😡😡 The Ramones when they talk about sniffing glue all day Luke: Hey, this is pretty catchy. 😄😄
The Ramones… Door het eerste liedje, wat iedereen op aarde toch wel hoort te kennen, moet ik om de een of andere reden altijd denken aan Scott Pilgrimm against the world. Het voelt een beetje als de start van boze tienermuziek…? Misschien heeft deze muziek wel geleidt naar de treinramp die wij kennen als Tokio Hotel?
Ik word altijd een beetje simpel van punk muziek. De ramones waren de eersten die deze muziek succesvol maakte, maar van mij had dat niet per se gehoeven. Ze waren de eersten met punkmuziek en dat maakt het tegelijk toegankelijker en simpeler. Het is nog wel heel erg pop met “ hey ho let’s go!” En meezingrefreintjes.
I understand that they were revolutionary, but this album was boring beyond belief.
The album might have been iconic at the time, but I'm not sure it holds up. Very simple riffs that aren't particularly catchy and a droney, repetitive voice. The punk scene might have been better off for the Ramones, but my evening wasn't.
Have the Rolling Stones killed
es un álbum entretenido, supongo. pero las canciones son indestinguibles entre sí. es casi como si hubiesen utilizado la misma fórmula para todas las canciones. las letras son penosas
If you really like blitzkrieg bop then you’ll really like this album 2.5/5
Per Mr. Anderson this is just "noise" (2.5/5)
It's not a bad album; there were no songs that I actively disliked or wanted to skip. But the songs all sounded too similar. Good background noise
Had to be there I guess. Very repetitive. It's a little fun at some points though
Another of those you perhaps had to be there for... then again, the Sex Pistols came very soon after, and the Clash... The Ramones get a 2 for innovation and the knowledge that a lot of the music I listen to may not have been made without them...
lowkey all the songs soubd the same lol mid srysrysry
Very monotone - as in the same sounding drums and riffs. I suppose you had to be there. Let's Dance gets a quirky ending, so it gets the cake Fav. Track: Let's Dance
I've never been a Ramones fan. Their music lacks any depth beyond preschool potbanging.
One of those early punk bands that feel like they’re more about the image than the sound, you know? I’ve never disliked them, but I’ve also never thought “oh boy I’d really like to listen to the Ramones right now!” outside of “Blitzkrieg Bop,” which is excellent. Anyway, this album is fine. Probably crazy in its time, kind of forgettable these days.
monotonous punk shit
"Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue" Friendo, I can tell you've been doing that already.
Quick, punchy, and inoffensive. That said, severely repetitive.
Never been a huge fan but this is a decent album. You can definitely hear the inspirations for modern punk.
First off, Blitzkrieg Bop, great song. However, I did not want to hear it 13 more times in 2 minutes intervals. Almost everything song on this sounds exactly the fucking same. It wasn't bad at all, but it's still the exact same shit for half an hour. Also, why did they pronounce massacre like massa-kree?? Favorite Track: Blitzkrieg Bop
I really didn't liked it. it was a nice listen but all of the tracks sounds the same, with a lot of songs with stupid lyrics. they were groundbreaking so I still respect this album
Me gustó pero fue bastante repetitivo. Sin embargo, gracias a su importancia le subo un poco. No es mi estilo igual
I was going to try and pick a favourite track from the list but I found them all blurring together a bit. The consistent sound on the album reminded me a bit of a couple of the grungier King Gizzard albums, Willoughby's Beach and I'm in your Mind Fuzz come to mind. This album has a cleaner sounding mix than either of those: I don't know how I feel about this. I think I like it less here than in Mind Fuzz, as that album uses a contrast of sounds across its length to build narrative, and while the lyrics across songs tie together a bit, the mostly constant sound means I didn't feel much of an emotional contast across Ramones' short length. (This all feels a bit surface level. I imagine this is likely to be common with only having a day for each!)
4/10. Los Ramones... No sé por qué esta banda es tan conocida. Supongo que es una banda de época. El sonido es muy monótono, como casi todo el Punk, es repetitivo y si bien te hace mover el cuerpo, no hay nada más que eso. Power Chords a más no poder. Literalmente, terminé el disco, salió otra canción de los Ramones y ni me di cuenta porque todas suenan igual.
i thought i already had this. i was thinking of the clash. this is largely unpleasant. i like punk. it’s too pop for me to enjoy it as punk, but not pop enough for it to be enjoyable to listen to. it’s grown on me, just a little.
I can see why it is an influential album, but not my cup of tea.
Not great, but two stars all the same...
It's cool, it's energetic, it's catchy. Overall, a very fun listen and a great first album that is very representative of its genre. 7/10 [KEEP]
känns mer som föremål än något man lyssnar på?
way too smart but It did build the foundation of early 2000s pop punk
Was quite let down by this album. First one so far where I actually know one of the songs ‘Blitzkrieg Bop’ which I do quite like, but was hoping for more variety from the other songs. It all seems to mash together and get very repetitive after a few songs. Not the biggest fan of the frontman’s voice either, kinda gets a bit draining after a while as well. I’d like to think on further albums their sound and direction get a lot better and more thought out. I’ll give them their flowers however for helping set the foundation for punk rock, hearing that bands like Green Day and The Sex Pistols wouldn’t be around without them is super cool. They managed to see something in this that I didn’t.
It's all the same song, which is disappointing to me because I've been looking forward to listening to this band for a while.
God all the songs sound the same I was so bored
Kind of old but gold aber hat für heutige Standards nicht besonders viel Varianz. Blitzkrieg Bop ist halt cool aber der Rest ist der selbe Song nur weniger cool
I feel like those Gen Alpha kids who don’t know One Direction when I say that I know Ramones from Spiderman Homecoming
Der Beginn des Punkrock…. war leider noch nie mein Ding. Blitzkrieg Bop als Einstieg prägt direkt den britischen Vibe des Albums (auch wenn die Ramones aus US kommen). In allen Liedern zieht sich das Problem für mich durch, dass die frühen Punk Alben nicht gut abgemischt klingen. I wanna be your boyfriend erfrischt das Album mit seinem poppigerem Sound. Der Gesang geht mir nach der Hälfte des Album dann doch eher auf die Nerven als dass er die Tracks trägt. Häufig sind die Texte sehr einfach gehalten aber weder besonders politisch noch witzig.
ba cred ca asta i album din ala unde e pus aici doar pentru ca a fost genre-defining si pioner al sunetului de genu. Sunt la jumate si nimic special sincer, adica suna bine, nu e shit, dar nu i nicio sclipire. Ma jur ca ascult aceeasi piesa pe loop. Aceleasi vocale, ritm maxim ca mai schimba acordurile, da vibe u e atat de similar incat nici nu mi dau seama. Ba am citit review urile ai inteleg de ce e placut da in acelasi timp sunt si oamenii infatuati. Nj daca pantalonii stramti si jeaca de piele salveaza asta lowkey. Muzical e shit, poate s eu pretentios, da cred ca asta i ideea albumului sincer, e punk, e vorba de energie. Totusi luand in considerare si doar experienta e 2/5. Nu i genu meu ig
It’s all the same song
Not for me
Thankfully the songs are quite short because I don't enjoy punk music. It's just a lot of noise to me. Blitzkrieg Bop is good though
This album may have been a novelty for its time, but it doesn’t hold up now. I can see how it’s appealing to punk fans, but there’s a reason why punk is a subculture and not a culture. The overall album is very repetitive -- the same warm guitar riffs and poor vocals, and its only saving grace is the hit song Blitzkrieg Bop, which is only slightly catchier than the other songs.
This album would probably seem better if I was alive at the time it was released; From my modern perspective however, this is good but not the masterpiece I was expecting. I suppose it's my problem then.
Just sounds like messy noise for the entire album. Like one big long song that someone who just learned how to play yesterday put together. I understand they had a significant impact on the culture at the time but this just was not for me.
Meh. Using a skill saw sound effect for a song called chainsaw is such a British thing to do.
sympa 10 minutes mais le rhytme est fatigant je trouve
As much as I enjoy Blitzkrieg Bop, every other track sounded like Blitzkrieg Bop but worse. Didn't like this album nearly as much as I thought I would. I appreciate its influence and don't think its terrible, but I have no reason to come back to it.
Ehh, I don't want to play the hater's gambit and say "I wanted to like it but...." BUT I did expect more from the album that produced Blitzkrieg Bop. And even listening to Blitzkrieg as the first song on the album I was thinking to myself "Damn I wish this hadn't been used by so many cringey boomers in advertising, Movies, and Video Games," because there was a time where I liked this song quite a bit and it's unfortunately the highpoint of the album right at the top of the tracklist. I hate to say it because it gets said a lot but the album is essentially the same song throughout... Maybe I'll warm up to this after society stops using the "Hey! Oh! Let's Go!" as a chant but that will be on the dying lips of every person that is right now 50 or above. I feel like such a hater. I like punk! I swear I like punk!!
Not my genre. I understand that if you like Punk, you will like this, but i dont.
Really just don’t get it. Here we have some of the most basic instrumentation imaginable paired with lyrics that sound like they were written by a 22 year old high schooler. I understand that this is a very influential album for punk music, but influencing something I don’t like doesn’t earn you extra points. This just seems kind of dorky. Which is fine if you’re a bit self aware about it, but I don’t get that here.
rooooock
Although I am happy that the Ramones helped pave the way for a certain kind of punk rock music, I never really cared for them. There's a few songs of theirs that I find quite energizing. Sheena is a punk rocker and I want to be sedated come to mind. This album doesn't really do it for me. It's okay. It's just not great.
Didn't enjoy this one, crazy to say about the Ramones but their sound isn't my thing
Outside of Blitzkrieg Bop, I was coming into this fresh. Honestly, I was super underwhelmed. If you take out the name, and just blindly listen, this record is pretty lame. I was expecting some aggressive, in your face punk. This was so much softer and poppy than expected. Which kind of put it in a weird middle ground of not good pop/rock or punk/hard rock. Don’t really get the appeal outside of it being the Ramones. 2/5.
i give it a 5/10 only cuz i don’t understand the songs rn but im only 3 songs in so let’s see!
I don't like this band at all and I don't think the music is any good.
-PUNK -Sehr ähnliche Songs, Übergänge fast nicht bemerkbar -Upbeat
not quite my thing
I mean, these were remastered so every single instrument sounded just as loud as the other. Blitzkrieg bop is a banger I guess but the rest just felt okayish. It's one of those albums that people who grew up with it probably loves and for younger people it's kinda meh. I'd give 2,5 if I could.
I can respect that they're some of the pioneers of punk, but holy crap 80% of this album is hot garbage. Songs that sound like a copy of the first one- not to mention the creepy one. Definitely a product of it's time. Still, we wouldn't be where we are without them so I can give it some credit for that.
Repetitive but some good tracks
temon el primero pero desp suena todo igual, not my tipe 2/5
so far not anything is usually listen to tbh it reminds me of blur. And all the instrumental sounds like. The same. Oh my god every song is the same thing. Yeah not enjoying this
Rock equivalent of short form content.
Klingt nach bisschen Zeit etwas eintönig.. immer die gleichen Rhythmen, geht mir krass auf die Nerven Aber auch viele banger
i remember this song why is the album 75 songs cun fwehhh can't lie the formula gets old quick cun wants to sniff some glue, also literally just sounds like the same song as before loudmouth and blitzkrieg bop are the same fucking song
Glad to give them their due as being among the fathers of punk rock, but whatever.
Not my style, too rocky and melody isnt really groovy
Pre listen: I didn't know the Ramones were a 70's band, I always thought they were 90's. Knowing they are 70's now is very interesting, their punk-sound was very ahead of their time. I always thought The Clash inspired The Ramones, but now I think it may be the other way around. Notable tracks: Blitzkrieg Bop - Absolute classic, used at least once in every sporting event in a stadium ever. Chain Saw - The loud chainsaw sound at the start hurt my ears :( I had my volume too high. Also points off for pronouncing Massacre "Mass-ah-cree" Now I wanna Sniff Some Glue - Me too kid. 53rd & 3rd - Probably my favorite track on the album. Good lyricism, varying tempo, vocal distortions, and good vocal harmonies make me like it. Post Listen: Overall I'd give it a 2/5. I think too many of the songs sound similar, to the point there was a few instances I didn't realize one track went on to the next. The tempo they play at is the same for like 80% of the songs on here, and the backing guitars/drum rhythms sound way too similar between songs as well. The lyrics are really good in many of the songs, but there were a few I couldn't understand what they were saying due to their THICK Impoverished Islander Accent. I would describe the album as Punk-Rock boiled down to it's most essential components, but just like boiled water, it needs some flavor. Remarkable album for being foundational for Punk music though, and again, very impressed it came out as early as it did.
Blitzkrieg Bop. Hall of fame track. It’s historic, it’s influential. I don’t see myself listening to the full album again though. Most tracks really blend together.
medio pelo
Ein Song kann auf einer Party richtig Spaß machen. Leider sind alle Songs mehr oder weniger gleich. Und dann wird es langweilig.
Rating: 2.4/5 It's alright. I don't have any emotional connection to it and all of the songs basically sound the same. I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend is definitely my favorite track from the album. I respect the band for being one of the pioneers in pop punk. Their British accent is pretty thick though, so for me it's hard to understand what the singer is saying. Just figured out they're from Jersey.... Blitzkrieg Bop - Classic & Spiderman 3/5 Beat on the Brat - 2/5 Judy Is a Punk - 2/5 I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend - More my style fs, kinda sounds like The Smiths 4/5 Chain Saw - 2/5 Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue - 2/5 I Don't Wanna Go Down to the Basement - guitar is not bad 3/5 Loudmouth - just another version of the previous song 1/5 Havana Affair - ohhh this is that one song RHCP covered (they're cover is better...) 3/5 Listen to My Heart - 2/5 53rd & 3rd - First time singer has changed the note he's singing 2/5 Let's Dance - catchy 3/5 I Don't Wanna Walk Around with You - 2/5 Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World - Love seamless transitions 3/5
Oh yeah this is a classic. Ok let's do this. I hope it stays good. Let's go. It's so short thank god. What did the brat do bro. Leave him alone. It's meh but whatever. I think this album was definitely made for kids to rock too not for any particular great artistry but I can definitely appreciate all the same. I am one of those kids. I am the target audience. I wanna bop my head to this. Judy is a punk bro. Fuck her. Me when I wanna be your boyfriend. Why do you wanna be a little girls boyfriend bro. Can we be for real please. What are we doing. Is that an actual fucking chainsaw. Like sure man. I like this it just isn't good. I have never sniffed glue before actually. This music sounds like glue sniffing actually. And tbh it's very homogenous all the songs sound the same, same rock beat with some stupid screamed lyrics. You can low listen to BB and call it a day. Favourite: Blitzkrieg Bop Least favourite: Beat on the Brat
and i still dont like them
1976. Debut studio album. Took only 7 days to record. Widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential punk albums of all time, and it had a significant impact on other genres of rock music, such as grunge and heavy metal. Violence, drug use, relationship issues, humor, and Nazism were prominent in the album's lyrics.
Fun but so repetitive after a while. Blitzkrieg Bop can’t carry the weight of the entire album.
It's like they wrote Blitzkreig Bop, knew it was the best song they'd ever write in their entire lives, and then kept chasing that high.
Turns out The Ramones are not as bad as I thought.
My biggest gripe with this album is the fact the the Ramones are regarded as the first punk band, but it is so far from punk, it drives me up the wall. Anyway, this album is weirdly short but that didn't mean much since every song sounded basically the same.
One of those albums that actually deserves to be here, but is extremely undermined by loads of repetition. So much that it had me looking flat-faced for most of its runtime. Blitzkrieg Bop was a hit for me as a kid, Judy Is A Punk came from The Royal Tenenbaums and I guess Let's Dance is a solid cover. The rest is total "wash, rinse, repeat". At the very least, you gotta thank these guys for inspiring other bands to release better music. Then again, you always have to start somewhere (5/10, 2/5 on this scale)
2-3. Ikke dårlig, men litt kjedelig og gjentagende. Ikke et spennende sound for meg i dag. Enkelte kule låter.
The first track is "Blitzkrieg Bop". 5/5 Every track after that is just Blitzkrieg Bop but worse. Mercifully the tracks are short, because there's so many of them - this album is less than 30 minutes long but it doesn't feel like it. Incredibly repetitive songs, vocals that are hard to understand, thrashing about for nearly half an hour on the same three chords. This would get a 1, but I have to show some respect for "Blitzkrieg Bop".
65
Mhh. not really the vibe of today; a little much of the same thing (it might be a good thing) but I was content when it ended and do not remember a song I enjoyed particularily
2.5 stars I realize this is an important album in the punk library, and I don't dislike any of the songs (I love Blitkrieg Bop) but listening to the entire album is very same same. I wouldn't turn it off but I probably wouldn't seek it out again
Blitzkrieg bop and a load of filler, iconic track but the album isn't great
Fuck me this got old quick. The first few songs tricked me into thinking this might be really fun, but by the end I barely noticed the songs changing
At first it made me want to buy a new fridge or TV, by the end I was fucking angry at everything. It was ok, not really my cup of tea, but I never found myself wanting to turn it off.
It's the Ramones. At least it's short
A Little bore for my taste
No lo termine de escuchar, no es mi estilo la verdad, pero en algun momento lo escuchare entero
bof bof du vieux rock a lancienne jai pas raison l'équipe ?
A ver, la verdad que he para tenerlo de fondo no esta mal, pero entre lo corta que son las canciones y que tienen el mismo ritmo y sonido todas me he fumado el disco casi sin darme cuenta. Supongo que han influenciado en la estética de las Nancys rubias porque estoy viendo claramente a Mario Vaquerizo de joven en la portada.
YUP sounds like the Ramones - Iconic sound but makes me want a little bit more musically. On second loop, the songs somehow got even more similar to each other 4.5/10
The Clash, en naze.
Jedes Lied klingt gleich
Hey ho this shit blows
Tylsää, kuulostaa samalta
Inte min smak och rätt enformigt
Can’t believe they ripped off the AO advert?! I think one of the songs being used in an AO advert kind of sums this up for me. Feels a bit shallow. Maybe I’m just not clued up enough on the time this came out and the impact it made. But it doesn’t feel punk to be punk but not corny enough to get away with it. They’re trying to be cool but don’t really achieve it in my ears.
It's all the same song
I am not alone. I wrote my review and then saw multiple reviews say the same thing. It’s the same song for 29 minutes. Punk rock may be the lowest form of music out there. 33rd greatest album of all time? I thought I had been missing out on something. Turns out that I haven’t missed anything.
Mediocre. Sometimes bands are revered and I just don’t quite get it. Sure Blitzkreig Bop is a lot of fun. But the rest of this album is pretty monotonous. If you listen to the middle of this album in order, the songs all start the exact same way. Just limits the whole album for me. 2 stars
every song sounded the same. like every song. i can’t differentiate one from the other apart from the AO advert one. the one song they have made multiple times sounds good but it’s literally just the same song with different words
It’s got blitzkrieg bop I also liked listen to my heart and let’s dance but a lot of the songs sound very simpler and you kinda get annoyed throughout the album that they always start the song with 1234 I get it 1234 I mean, like I said you know a song because they played in movies but other than that I think the Ramones are kind of forgettable. Maybe I should delve into another album two out of five.
A couple of songs sounded different than the rest, but other than those, it's just another punk album that sounds like every other punk album out there.
If you were to play me this album with no context and asked me when it was released, I would've guessed late 80s or early 90s, so I think it was a little ahead of its time. Notwithsanding, I also think it's a little bit outdated, or just not that interesting of a sound. I'm glad this was 30 minutes and not an hour, because I was already getting tired of the repetitiveness. Still, I can appreciate this for laying the foundation for other artists to do what they did better, like The Clash, for example. Strong five to a light six I guess.
4/10 - apart from the opening song, nothing of note to write home about
Its definably infectious upbeat tone carries the album, but the most I can praise it for is that it's mercifully short. Not winning any awards for innovation because this really is all the same song 14 times. Not even kidding, its the same 3 cords on repeat.
Man do they love 8th notes. Made me think I was depressed. Felt nothing. I guess it wasn’t actively annoying so 2/5
Certainly can't deny their significance, but the ramones just aren't 4 me
Pretty repetitive. It has some pretty good tracks here and there but as an album it all becomes a sort of blur
Hey! I know these guys, they did Blitzkrieg Bop! I like that song, but I’ve never heard anything else by them - maybe I’ll like their other music? Okay, this next track is decent, but it sounds a lot like the first one. I wonder how they are going to change it up? Okay, still waiting for them to do something different… also, why are all the songs only two minutes long? Still waiting… Okay Let’s Dance was actually not bad And then boring to close. What a disappointment. 3/10
I can appreciate the cultural impact while also saying "this ain't for me"
Don’t hate it but was bored through out
few decent songs, but 3 Ramones songs is enough for anyone. Hate the look. Cant understand him half the time. Your eggs' got hair in it. I cant give everyone a 3. But other than that...
I like blitzkrieg bop, but I get why I’ve never given this a chance before. God knows how anyone can make a distinction between any of these songs.
They sniffed all the glue and left none for you. One noteable track Blitzkrieg Bop and the rest is over produced bubble gum punk. I mean if you like familiar… This is for “safe dangerous” punk rockers.
i want to respect it but i honestly hate it. the first song is the only good one and the rest are a different or more annoying version of it. i don’t really get how people actually enjoy this band, except if i’m feeling edgy might give it another shot 😭
I like this one more then Pornography (The Cure), but the songs are just to repetitive. They all sound too similar. Blitzkrieg is obviously iconic.
todos lo temas iguales pero estaban buenos
It’s punk, it’s fine. Always thought the vocalists had a little more singing ambition - there are a little too many ad libs on some of these songs
Not very interesting. Americans don't know how to punk?
I think Blitzkrieg pop is apt for this band, it's for those who like their punk without an ounce of aggression. If it was toss up between these and the Shrang-ri-las for the most punk outfit then I think the girls win it. 2 stars as its a great cover
This felt like a joke i wasn’t in on. I couldn’t really distinguish between the songs and the vocal style did not appeal. Like at the beginning it was fine but i genuinely thought i was accidentally listening to it on repeat.
After seeing Ramones band tees plaguing all of the earth forever, I was really expecting more - this did not live up to the notoriety. was monotonously the one loud yelling tone for most of it, give me some different tones on the next one please Ramones!
Wish this was a rating out of ten, or could include half stars. I think I’m just not rebellious enough for this album. Blitzkrieg Bop is actually a bop though
Bit samey.
It’s got some classics on it, but Ramones are always best enjoyed as a singles band or live.
Possibly as repetitive as any album on this list, which is an impressive feat. Hard to know if the Ramones had more of an impact on 1980s punk or 2010s fashion.
This album was a lot of the same thing. The lyrics are so British they're unintelligible which i liked a lot. My favourite is track #2 beat on the brat, my least favourite 53rd and 3rd but i feel silly saying that cause they're the same song. i got rid of my fuckass bob recently, i don't regret it. Love the ramones but also what the hell man.
The best album by The Ramones and debut
Oh, blitzkrieg bop nice, I know this one it’s a great little tune. Ok cool next song similar but still sounds quite good, next song hmm this one sound very similar too. Fourth song this is basically the same song. Fifth song, hang on a minute isn’t this the exact same song?! My internal thoughts. Yeah, as standalone songs fine basic but a decent listen, put them all in an album and it just seems super lazy when all the beats, flow of vocals etc sound like a repeat. It doesn’t show much range or feel like loads of thought went into the album. I could probably yap on but won’t as I don’t want to sound like a broken record player like this album.
Energetic and kinda fun but every song sounds the same. Got bored fast
They definitely have an interesting sound something that I wouldn’t normally listen to but it wasn’t terrible. I don’t think I would listen to them on the regular but if it came on I wouldn’t turn it off. I also do feel like every song on this album did feel very similar to the song before it, which is understandable because they seem like they were still finding their sound. All in all I’d give it a 2/5 it wasn’t bad but just not my cup of tea.
We had The Stooges and Velvet Underground. Then The Ramones came along and I'm as bored as they seem to be by their repertoire. An unpopular opinion but after one or two tracks of this, it's time to turn back to the previous mentioned bands to see how it should be done. It's not cool or rebellious or anything other than bored guys being boring. Now Drag Racing Underground's cover of 'Blitzkrieg Bop' does the job better, albeit with plenty of hindsight. So, 2 stars for 'influencing' later bands in some way.
Lidt for ensformigt.
hmm... what to say, what to say... the album cover is A+, and the music? Well, I mean, I understand the influence Ramones play on the punk scene, but it doesn't grab me or move me or make me want more or want to bop around. Many of the songs sound nearly identical to my ear, and since the vocals are difficult to discern, I'm not even sure if the songs are telling a story or merely a series of grumbles and grunts. The opening is fantastic, but beyond that, sorry to say it's a no for me.
I do not care for punk… this is as good as punk gets though
Nope, can't do it. Prog excess and endless directionless noodling by Hendrix wannabes or Dylanesque poetic whiners doesn't justify lionizing these one-note sadly frozen opposition-only pretenders. Yeah they were an imitatable template for many that followed, but being a template doesn't make you a good band.
seguramente es una cuestión personal, pero me parece que el 90% del álbum es exactamente idéntico y las canciones se escuchan igual
every song sounds the same
Whole album felt like one song, but a decent one. Would do great for a long, fall walk. Up for my playlist :)
Not my style
What do people see in this??? I am happy that this album helped shape the Punk genre we know today, but I am really more confused about it. I mean come on. The drummer must be so tired having to play the same beat on every fucking song. I was angry about the songs from the Sex Pistols album sounding too much alike, but this is another level. For making these songs, I believe that all they did, was take the same drums and bassline from the previous song, change the guitar a teeny tiny bit, and write some new lyrics. What were they doing? These tracks could actually have been named “Ramones pt. 1”, then “Ramones pt.2” and so on. I mean there isn’t a single really bad song. And if there was one bad song. There would be 14 bad songs. They’re all the same!!! If you have heard any of these songs before and liked it, I would still reccomend that you listen. I mean 1. It’s still a classic. 2. It’s only 29 minutes long. And 3. You’ll find plenty of songs alike (cloned) the one you first knew.
Listen, I love simplicity in Punk Rock. Some of my favorite Punk-adjacent bands don't do anything flashy or unique, just present some really tight and really kick-ass songs. Ramones' self-titled is perhaps a little too simple. The sound is pretty good for the first couple tracks, then gets more and more tiresome until the end when you're begging for a song that feels even a little varied. Blitzkrieg Bop and Judy Is a Punk are basically the only two songs worth listening to, as once you've heard them every other song follows the same formula. This isn't always a bad thing, but I'm not sure if I was ever that big of a fan of Ramones' sound to begin with. Sure, they have most people beat when it comes to foundation and influence of the genre, but at least compared to this album I'm taking New York Dolls every single time. I have slightly more nice things to say about Rocket to Russia, at that point developing their sound to make a studio album worth listening to, but as for their debut it acts more as a museum piece than a good listen. The importance of this album on the Punk Rock movement as a whole cannot be overstated, but in the modern day I really don't have a reason to listen through this album.
The Clash on Monday…Ramones on Friday…a week book-ended by punk. As I said on Monday this project has shown my just how much I do not LIKE the genre. I can recognize the importance of this album and it is very good at what it is - a reflection of a time, a place, and the emotions that go with them. It’s a vibe. A mood. Musically its simple, its repetitive, its at times annoying. It was meant to be. I just like more - complexity, variation, progression - in what I listen to. It’s not them…it’s me. 2/5
Favorite Song: Blitzkrieg Pop Least Favorite Song: Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue Thought to myself that a song was going on for a little too long just to find out that 4 songs had already played. Boooooringggg.
Despite how short the songs were i found this one hard to get through due to how repetitive it was, also just couldnt make out a single word of what they were saying in any of the songs apart from ay oh lets go, Not one for me unfortunately.
Well I was expecting to like this from what I’ve previously heard but it didn’t live up to it. Although the songs are up tempo they’re just not getting that teenage angst feeling about them. A bit limp wristed if I’m honest.
I get it, it was a very early punk album, if not THE early punk album, and it sounded so different from everything in the 70's. By todays standards it sounds like the beatles with the gain turned on.
The album tends to stick to one type of sound and not move away from it. You could select any two songs on the album and they’d sound almost exactly alike.
I think that all of the songs on this album sound the same. I did recognize Beat on the Brat from TikTok but other than that I don’t see myself listening to this album or this type of music? I don’t really like their voices either. The instrumental sounds the same in every song…1/5
This is honestly very boring. But I do understand the impact this sound had back in the day and its everlasting influence in rock music, so it would be unfair to not give its props and recognition. The thing that annoys me is that personally I can’t see any point or feel anything with these collection of songs. It’s purely for the aesthetic of it (and in this case it does fulfill its purpose). Really like Blitzkrieg Bop, Chain Saw and Let’s Dance. If only weren’t for the other 11 songs that sound the exact same without their charm…
Never heard of the Ramones but this album had quite a few songs I knew and liked prior to listening. A lot of the songs did sound repetitive with the same sound
My least favourite bit was the vocals tbh. The songs were also a bit too short so I couldn't quite get into them.
This one was too punky for me - the sound has a raw and slightly jarring quality and this dissonance made my listening experience only just about tolerable. The album also felt repetitive but I feel like this might be related to the slightly irking voice that has literally no variation in tone throughout the 14 tracks.
All these songs are so short they just feel like they're whizzing by. They all kinda sound the same too which isn't helping.
definitely noise
It sounded the same after a while but was good
Not a fan of the Ramones sound
Does the guitarist only know one rift? Although the album has some good songs, it does not offer too much variety. It is a fast listen though.
All of the songs sound like they can be a soundtrack to a coming of age movie. They’re good, I just don’t think I would listen to it on a daily basis. A lot of the songs felt repetitive and had a similar sound.
Sounded pretty similar throughout. Not my jam.
I am not looking forward to this, what I've heard from them before I haven't cared for. This is the last album I'm behind on tho, so might as well get it out of the way now. Maybe I'm actually in for a treat. The music is fine, I guess. Reading through the genius annotations, I really don't like these dudes lol. At least not how they're portrayed there. Oddly a lot of parallels to today's world, the type of attitude of people I just don't fuck with. I was gonna try to give this a 3, but I don't think I can. 2.5/5 is the best I can do. Even on songs like "Listen to My Heart", which lyrically I was vibing with, it just felt like the same instrumental for the 5th time in a row. Then the nazi shit? really really weird, not in a good way.
La verdad que las canciones suenan todas muy parecidas, menos mal que son cortas y tienen algo de punch. Las letras son graciosas y se pasa rápido, pero es un poco música de fondo en mi opinión
Not a punk rock fan but overall an OK album.
so far casi todas las canciones suenan muy parecidas pero entiendo pq es un album que si o si debes escuchar me gusto i wanna be your boyfriend esta chila
Classic; nice to hear more than just Hotel California
eloah: 5/10 manu: 5/10
not my favorite and a lot of the songs kind of bleed together as you listen.
Não foi tão ruim quanto eu esperava, mas ainda não é pra mim... Engraçado que tem 14 músicas e ainda assim é um álbum curto. Foi uma experiência.
Another case of trying and failing to get into punk. This is the more accessible end, there is some catchy songwriting going on for sure, and the vocals are charming, but it just doesn’t really do anything for me sadly.
1 - Can only think of the advert lol. Not bad, most popular so maybe overplayed 2 - Similar vibes to first song. Like it a bit better. 3 - like the instrumental but vocals aren't my cup of tea 4 - nope. Repetitive, boring. 5 - jarring intro lol. Follows the same vibes as the rest of the album 6 - Random. Thank god its only a minute long. Instrumental in the middle is good. 7 - fine. 8 - is this not the same song as previous. Awful lyrics ik its the 70s but still 9 - all these songs sound the same. I suppose you could chalk it up to an album following a theme but its getting a bit boring. Social commentary i think 10 - still sounds the same. Better than the ones previous 11 - interesting. Still has the motif but I like it. More commentary 12 - one of the better ones, I think its a cover 13 - is this pattern of older albums or perhaps debut albums. Repeating the same chorus 5x makes a song apparently. Again the instrumental is very good. Vocals aren't for me 14 - I like this one. Interesting to put last. Social commentary again.
Iconic album, super important for the punk rock movement. Its simplicity probably prompted a lot of people to reconsider music as something more accessible, and led to many people playing. However, this very simplicity doesn't really help it. It gets redundant quickly, despite the songs being 2mn long on average. A fun listen, Blitzkrieg Pop is definitely a bop. But I'd never play the album on repeat
enjoyed parts but i feel like if you took blitzkrieg bop and beat on the brat away its just … ok top 3: - blitzkrieg bop - beat on the brat - i wanna be your boyfriend* *only if you exclude the constant use of the phrase little girl which i just truly hate every time its used in songs in a romantic or sexual context its just really creepy
1 or 2 songs that I enjoyed but found the sound so repetitive and 1 note. Not sure why this is considered such a classic. Top Songs: Blitzkrieg Bop
Quite repetitive, I don't think this album was for me !
Kinda one note to me. Meh I don't love punk. Sorry Ramones fans.
wasn't my cup of tea, maybe I'll like it another time
Bit repetitive
321/1089 - Very homogoneus and the singer sounds like how deaf people talk. I like Post-Punk better when there's more intrresting lines going on and less power chords.
Songs: "Beat on the Brat" 7/10, Thoughts: They sound British but it seems they are all from New York. Cool guitars. Upbeat music. God they sound SO British lol. Easy to see why they were so influential for their time, but a little dated. I don't think it's an Evergreen album to me. The songs kind of blend together because the guitar is the same in all the songs. They songs are all 2 minutes or under, I like that a lot. This is the "hey ho, let's go" band. Rating: 5/10. Not really my cup of tea TBH. But I can see why the band is so iconic.
the same song over and over.
What was groundbreaking back then, doesn’t really hit home for me now. I can appreciate the influence it had on the punk scene but I can’t, in good faith, rate this any more than a 2 because all the songs are derivatives of each other. It’s truly hard to discern the difference between songs after “Blitzkrieg Bop”, which is a bop.
If this is what it took to give birth to an entire genre... I don't know.
de certo modo, me lembrou os primeiros álbuns do KISS, que eu particularmente gosto, porém, Ramones não é pra mim. entendo a atitude presente nas músicas e letras, mas me escapa o apelo. *2/5 all-stars encardidos*
this record is the epitome of "...ok". i get why its important in musical history, but it gets samey and predictable after a while. "influential" doesn't automatically mean "great" 5.3/10
I just don't think I'm a fan of punk lol. Thankfully punk tracks are pretty short, but even so, I would love for them to actually GO somewhere.
Is there any type of music that polarizes opinions more than punk? If you want something loud that you can shout or scream along to, lets you vent rage or desperation or nervous energy, that never sounds corny or sleepy or weird, then this is for you. And credit to the band, these short songs get in and out without lingering too long on anything. If you want melody, harmony, innovation, chords you've never heard, comfort, poetry, or sweetness, there's nothing here for you. My main criticism is that this album offers the same thing, over and over again. That may appeal to some. Not to me.
Comparable to consuming a 9 pack of frubes in one sitting. Entertaining to begin with but becomes a bit repetitive. Also a hit or a miss depending on flavour. Enjoyable on the odd occasion but not an essential on the weekly shopping list.
Not a huge fan of that type of rock so sitting through a full album after getting burnt out at blitzkrieg bop was a pain.
Some good tunes but all songs were extremely similar. Would listen to a select few again.
Wasn't special
No es mi onda, entiendo la signficancia cultural (? pero no lo vale para mi. Me duele la cabeza 10/11/2025 2/5
Punk is dead
I know these songs. Fun pop-style punk. Very hard to distinguish one song from another.
Not for me
Kiekvienos dainos melodija ta pati. Blitzkrieg bop įsimintiniausia.
Not for me
I like it. I understand the cultural significance and I'd probably have fun playing these songs on the guitar. Simple songs can be great and these might be, but the record feels too repetitive for me.
to be honest, all songs sounded almost the same. all they are just 4 chords, bass is almost always just 1/16 notes. did not get annoying, but wasn't exciting either. maybe it is not my style. 2
Blitzkreig Bob and some other mildly good tunes
I hope this sound wasn’t played out in the sixties because it certainly is now. The same song 10/14 times
Blitzkrieg Pop hey ho let's go...that's one I recognized. But otherwise it's still a punk album...which I'm tired of. It's just not my music, it's too repetitive :(
No, I didn't get into this despite the Ramones being a very influential band. Not my cuppa tea.
I wasn't into punk in period. Nearly 50 years later and listening to this I find my opinion hasn't changed. Detached from 'the scene', it is better than I remember and perhaps compares favourably with some of the things that followed. This isn't something I'd choose to listen to. 2/5
Скучно одинаково. Но интересно посмотреть через эту музыку на то поколение
Blitzkrieg Bop is just okay. The album was very subpar for me.
rolled my eyes when i got this assignment. but i've literally skipped the past ~5 (i keep getting SHIT) so i decided to lock in. BLITZKRIEG BOP- yeah yeah yeah ok whatever. aye-oh lets go. i honestly quite like joey's voice and the overall production of this song despite how corny and ubiquitous it is BEAT ON THE BRAT- completely devoid of any sort of feeling and already establishing the repetitiveness of this record JUDY IS A PUNK- i could literally scream omg why is every song IDENTICAL with stupidass lyrics to boot! I WANNA BE YOUR BOYFRIEND- slop CHAIN SAW- so far the most inventive track here, the first i can see myself listening to again. why does he pronounce 'massacre' like that though? SNIFF SOME GLUE- fun. probably has the clearest resemblance to contemporary punk and is a clear blueprint to later work. BASEMENT- i am trying to stay charitable but my patience is wearing thin... how is this SO tedious. i also thought this album was released much earlier; the fact that it's from 1976 only aggravates my disinterest. like, the kinks released s/t a decade prior. LOUDMOUTH- ok. HAVANA AFFAIR- literally didn't realize the previous song had ended and a new one began lol. i do honestly like the lyrics of this one though. LISTEN TO MY HEART- kind of a gem for me. uninspiring and same, but i appreciate it. 53rd and 3rd- ok im literally at wits end. can we wrap this up. LETS DANCE- i don't like joey's voice anymore!!! SHUT UP!!!! i will spare the final two tracks from any kind of comment lest my review becomes just as tedious as this album was. maybe someone pissed in my cheerios or something but this is just sooo. insufferable. i'ma give it 2 stars though because there WERE a couple tracks i enjoyed, and i would be remiss to not take into consideration their (unexplainable) influence on future music. i wish this site had half-stars though, cause it's more like a 1.75...
2.5 - it was alright but so so simple and I get it yes punk is like thay but its just not what im looking for other than for a fun vibe sometimes.
Potentially unpopular opinion but I think Ramones are overrated.
Get an additional star for it's length... My ears get tired after a couple of songs. Remones has recorded better albums.
Imagine your entire career being based off the success of one song. 5/10
Picking a highlight song from this album seems pointless as they're more or less all the same song. If my score was measured by cultural and musical impact this would score top marks as throughout my life I have been unable to escape Blitzkrieg Bop, I fucking hate that song. It does serve as a good sign that if it is in a piece of media or a movie trailer that those involved in making this are lazy and creatively bankrupt so I can save myself sometime and avoid it. Despite a lean runtime of 29 minutes, it feels extremely bloated. I am glad that basically every musical act that cites these guys as an inspiration are better than this. Highlights: Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue
Just alright. Really punky not my thing plus all songs sound the same.
the hits are decent but the rest of the album gets old fast, just not my thing
Just not for me. Maybe too straightforward.
Musically just so basic, nothing I can enjoy about it
Punk for 50 year olds who think they’re still hip.
Blitzkrieg Bop is so good. Didnt like the rest. Ramon's just not for me.
Not as fun as I was expecting tbh!
1. Blitzkrieg Bop I know it from spiderman, it was good in that movie and great on its own. the sound is super fun 2. Beat on the Brat Good, but extremely repetitive 3. Judy Is a Punk Liked it, repetitive but doesnt really feel like it 4. I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend Dont like it, a bit too mellow and once again, repetitive 5. Chain Saw its pretty fun, but i cant get over the way they say massacre 6. I Dont Wanna Go Down to the Basement i like the music, the lyrics i just dont get 7. Loudmouth At this point im kinda getting sick of the album. the repetition of lyrics and musical progressions is becoming really grating 8. Havana Affair I think alot of their songs would benefit from being about a third of the length 9. Listen to my heart This song has 7 different lines. this song is 80% repeats 10. 53rd & 3rd holy moly I think i would have liked this song if it stoped at the minute and 50 second mark Didnt finish the album, not a fan. i honestly think this made me far more appreciative of the criticisms people have of punk. I think i would listen to any of these songs individually and enjoy them, but the album as a whole contains everything i dislike in an album: no build up of music, sound, and lyrics, it feels more like a compilation of songs than a peice of art genuinely designed to tell a story, and far, far to repetitive. I really thought i would enjoy this so im quite sad
I didn't like punk much in the 70's. Nothing has changed, all too shouty for my taste.
Certainly groundbreaking but i find it monotonous and too long
This is a fun album. Is it a good album? Not really, but it’s fun. The same drums and vocals are throughout this whole album and it’s almost like one 29 minute long song. Maybe id give it a 3 if I didn’t already listen to this album this year already, it’s not the sorta album to listen to more then once in your life
Influential and important, but not necessarily good. Starts off solid but its pretty samey and towards the end the performances become less exciting and the vocals rougher. Sorry to all the punkheads who think its the best album ever :((
I like punk. All of it sounded the same though.
Almost every track had the same sound as the previous one on this record. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it sure does get boring quickly. Favourite Track(s): Blitzkrieg Bop, Judy Is a Punk Least Favourite Track(s): I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend, Chain Saw
1. Bop - 2 2. Beat - 1.5 3. Punk -1.5 4. Boyfriend - 1 5. Chain - 1.5 6. Glue - 1.5 7. Basement - 1 8. Loudmouth -1.5 9. Havana - 1 10. Heart - 1.5 11. 3rd - 1 12. Dance - 1 13. Walk - 1.5 14. Love - 1.5
I am honestly kind of tired of the hype punk has around it, can't seem to find the importance that people give to the message of the songs and the fight against society, or whatever
It's fine! I get that it's like the Ramones or whatever but oh my god every single song sounds the same! The singing is very frog like which I don't love. They're all upbeat but it sounds like 30 mins of the same song over and over. I really can understand where the song length comes from, they were a club band, performing for 20 mins of straight sound! It kept the crowd engaged! But I'm not a teen in NYC in the 70s at a club show. I'm a grown woman in 2025 in my dining room. Seeing them live, seeing them at the time they were revolutionary, and listening to this album now are different things. I just don't think it's held up the way other albums have. The first song is good and really well known and that's cool. But like... otherwise? I truly don't get the hype for this album. I really think everyone just knows that the Ramones are "cool" so they like this album because they think it's cool. Which like... was this historic for the time? Sure!!! And that's super great. But the first pancake isn't always the best pancake and that's okay.
i don't really like the vibe of the album. the sound is quite hard to hear, even when the sound is louder than the background track. most of the instrumentals are repeats of the last song and it didn't give a sense of new songs, instead just a long song with some pauses in the middle.
1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die: 13/1001 The simplicity of this album makes it great. It's such a raw garage punk band sound. It's truly nothing special but is boppy enough. It's kind of stupid but not bad. Not sure I'll be listening again, but glad I did once. For 30 minutes, whatever Podium: 1. Blitzkrig Bopp 2. Judy Is a Punk 3, Kusteb to My Heart Gotta give it a 2/5 overall. It was engaging but sub-par without being bad ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It was okay but felt REALLY repetitive. My fav song was I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend. That one I actually liked a lot.
Not as good as I'd have liked
Not good
Quite repetitive in both lyrics and riffs. No need to relisten to this because I heard the same song 14x. 2 star
Oh THAT’S the blitzkrieg bop lol hey ho lets go not a huge fan of their style of vocals… some fun quick bops though glad i listened but idk just really not for me 45/100
Pass
Ramones? Isn’t that one of the early punk bands who had cultural impact but who’s music is not comprehensible in hindsight? Does this need 1h of wikipedia reading to enjoy? Oh it sounds like a school band. Guitar plays the same 3 chords throughout the album. The base player stays on the chord base always. The drums are base/snare in stupidly. The singer sings with the same voice. So it seems this is not about the music but the message. So let’s read wikipedia then. After 15m reading of wikipedia: I get the appeal of the lyrics: „beat on the brat with a baseball bat“ is funny as well I want to sniff glue as being the first positive song after all other songs start with „I don’t want“. But that won’t be enough to motivate me to listen to the album again. Sure critiques loved it but it’s just not enjoyable.
Meh
It all kinda sounded the same. There were a few moments where I thought the song was just repeating. 1 - would not listen to again 2 - if some one played it, I'd probably just zone it out 3 - didn't hate it, didn't love it 4 - saved some songs from the album 5 - would buy the album or already own it
Catchy start. I’ve only listened to their hits. Starting at “….Sniff Some Glue” it felt like I was in “the song that never ends.” It started to get a bit repetitive for me. “53rd and 3rd” was refreshing considering all the other tracks on the back half. I think I’d still listen to a compilation of hits but as an album it wasn’t something I could jam on as a whole again. Not the worst album I’ve rated 2 but I can’t give it a 3 based on other albums I’ve rated 3.
This is fine. Luckily its short lived and some of the songs are catchy but that's about it.
I understand the Ramones' impact on music and specifically Punk in the United States, but I can't stand em. They're on the softer side of Punk which never really landed with me. God speed to all of you who like them.
I can appreciate, culturally, what they've done for the zeitgeist, but that doesn't mean I have to ENJOY listening to them.
no me convenció, es como punk comercial no se
This album is one giant song. Everything sounds the same.
Both the songs and the album are only bearable because of their short runtime. Nothing stands out in a good way. Every song is the same. You could listen to 30 seconds of the album and know the whole thing. Oh, the mix on and after Let's Dance is way better than the earlier portion of the album. I Don't Wanna Walk Around with You has Cut Copy in the background? xD Okay, the last three songs convince me this might actually be a pleasant enough listen if the mix for the whole album were better. Alas, we have what we have (and this is a 2017 remaster, I guess it was even worse before that), and what we have gets a... 1.5*.
Big fan of the one singular song they have on this album. Everything else is just that song again. Okay, maybe a bit harsh - there's two songs on here. Not bad, but not the most amazing either. 2/5 stars.
All the tunes sound very similar to me except with different lyrics. They are fun though.
A lot of the same
Hot take men det lyder ikke rigtig hårdt nok til at være spændende og alle sangene er ens. Ikke dårligt, men har ikke ældet vildt godt heller
Ok, but same in my opinion.
Blitzkrieg Bop is pretty good. At least a 4. Wait, I've heard this before. Is the track looping? Yeah, every song is the same, just with different nonsensical lyrics. Then it slows down (I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend) and it somehow gets worse. Oh, good, we're back to Blitzkrieg Bop with different lyrics.
29 minutes felt long
**An ok album
I think this is meant more for people who like to sniff glue
It's a fun listen. I don't really think it's an AMAZING listen and it's definitely not the best punk albums ever, but it's a fun listen. The production is really bad though. Really really bad.
Eh blitzkreig bop is good but they all sound the same 👎
never was a Ramones fan. another one of those bands that you kinda had to be there to appreciate. Just loud fast NY punk. if you like that kind of thing
It was fine. Not my type of music.
"Hey! Ho! Let's Go"- the opening (and closing) lyrics to the first track "Blitzkrieg Bop" make this perhaps the most recognisable Punk Rock track ever. However, the rest of the album, like most Punk Rock of that era, is less memorable and I feel hasn't aged well. Contains an interesting cover of the Chris Montez song "Let's Dance".
Tempted to give one star as apparently The Ramones invented a lot of the "punk sound", but it isn't that painful on its own. I only like punk when it has overtly political lyrics and/or decent musicianship though, so dnf this and went to listen to Bad Religion instead
I would probably not listen to this again but it did have a few iconic songs on here that I enjoyed
This is one of those albums where you had to be there to appreciate it in full cause I’m sure this hit a hell of a lot harder when you had Barry manilow and captain and tenille on the radio and you heard this for the first time. To be fair, I grew up with a lot of pop shlock as well, but even though the black eyed peas were on the radio, you could just switch stations and blitzkrieg bop was probably playing. So it doesn’t really hit as hard for me as it probably does for the boomers and gen X’ers. There’s a few good songs here.
rather uninteresting and standard rock. not my jam. lacking lyrical depth. uninteresting melodies. mostly standard ideas, save chain saw's intriguing intro and "now i wanna sniff some glue". the trouble with ts album is if you played two songs in a row you wouldnt be able to tell a new song had started, only because of the pause between songs. the fact of the matter is that this album is not special in any way, shape or form, and in fact is simply boring, and had me yearning to listen to underground french rap throughout my listen. it is lucky ts album only lasted half an hour because otherwise i wouldnt have sat through it. in fact, it was distracting me from my economics study due to the immense urge to turn it off due to being bored beyond belief. 1 is too harsh so once again going w 2.
If 1001 album keeps giving me these bum ass rock albums im going to leave
Classic rock, not to my taste
The Ramones are cool. I was having a great time for the first 4 tracks, but I'd had enough by track 6.
Bliztzkrieg Bop is a bop. Apart from that I actually enjoyed the Sex Pistols more (and that isn't saying much). Whoever produced this album hated drums and, despite me being a bassist, I don't think bass being higher in t mix then vocals was a good plan. Even if Johnny Ramone's voice gets annoying in under 26 mins.
Not really my type of rock Na jedno kopyto
2/5 don't like punk but has some good beats.
Blitzkrieg Bop x 14
I really didn't get anything out of this one. In the end, every song blended together into one big mess and the singer's accent wasn't helping. That being said, I can see its influence.
Remarkable how long this album feels vs how short it is
