Pretty great. I was expecting a bit more grit from their vocals though, they sound almost too clean.
This was a classic example of the late 1970's punk that came out of New York. I have always enjoyed the Ramones, and listening again to this after many years, I still found it enjoyable.
All the elements for me to dislike. Repetitive songs. That pop punk radio friendly sound. Lyrics you can't quite decipher or make sense of (especially when they pronounce massacre mass-a-cray). They even took there name from Paul McCartney (an alias he used when checking into hotels). Yet.... Somehow it all works, and works well. I just can't sit still (or be downtrodden) when listening. And for a debut this album is so refined it feels more like a best of. Two years before Never Mind The Bollocks you can see what McLaren was aiming for (though he missed the target by a country mile).
people were NOT kidding when they said a lot of the songs are similar. honestly, barely anything changed between "I Don't Wanna Go Down to the Basement" and "Loudmouth". but at the same time, I didnt expect much from an early punk album anyways. overall pretty solid: nothing special, not too much to hate about it.
After the first song-all the others sound the same.
it ramone.
какой-то тинейджерский рок, ваще не понравилось
Meh.
the songs are catchy, I don't remember 90% of them.
I guess this was fresh and raw back in the 60's but all of it sounds the same to me. Never been a Ramones fan and a fresh listen hasn't changed that.
Awwww yeaaahhhhhhhh let’s fucking gooooo
A classic
There are plenty of toe-tapping songs on here. The simplicity only makes the songs more fun to listen to. The album does suffer from many of the songs sounding very similar. However, it's too enjoyable to knock it too much for this. Obviously this was a pioneering record, so it's 'important', but unlike many albums in this vein, this is actually something I'd want to listen to.
Now I wanna sniff some glue feels like a propper punk rock track. Actually the second half of the album is good. the first half feels a bit more popy/surfery.
This sounds pretty quaint today but there's still some classic driving punk stylings to be enjoyed here. A bit lyrically brain dead though.
The sound of this group has transcended time.
and i still dont like them
Alright that was cool enough. No one's gonna be writing home about those lyrics, but the vibe is there. Some unexpectedly interesting choices with chord progs and phrasing. This is definitely the album I associate with punk the most, this specific sound is ubiquitous to it imo.
I know the Ramones and have 17 songs liked by them on Spotify - but only 1 song from this album - "Blitzkrieg Bop". I don't think I've ever listened to the whole thing. I was looking, even on the best Ramones albums - I only have anywhere from 3-7 songs liked because it just get's too samey after awhile. I think Ramones songs are good for randomly popping up on playlists in shuffle mode because too much at one time is just too repetitive. "Let's Dance" was slightly different since it seems like there is an organ back there in the mix. "Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World" - the ambiguous Nazi sympathizing in this song is disturbing. Maybe it's meant to be ironic or edgy - but it's not cool. In 2026, there are still young assholes that think it is cool or edgy or funny to do Nazi salutes - even the richest guy on the fucking planet thinks its ok (based on his actions). This kinda shit needs to actively discouraged. Funny story - one time back in the 80s I was out with a girlfriend driving in my car and was playing a tape of a Ramones album. It wasn't this one, I think it was probably the album Road to Ruin or maybe Rocket to Russia. She had never heard of them and said "why does every song sound exactly the same??" I had to explain that there is more variety but you just have to listen to it more times to hear it. BUT she does have a point - there really is not much musical variety here. I know bands like White Stripes look to Ramones as an influence - and I am sure that is true - but Jack White can do stripped down, DIY music and make it sound so much more interesting with a lot more variety to the sound. Same is true for many other bands that count Ramones as an influence. After 3 listens I ended up liking 5 additional songs - "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend", "Chain Saw", "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue", "I Don't Wanna Go Down To The Basement", and "Let's Dance". Liked songs on Spotify: 6/14 Rating: 3/5
Good first song and then it all sounds the same
I want to mosh. THE American punk band.
blitzkrieg bop, beat on the brat
Strong start, consistent sound, easily listen to all tracks.
The first three Ramones albums are absolutely perfect in every way. A huge influence on my musical taste. Yes, I know all the songs sound the same, but that's the point. Get a formula that works and stick to it! Brilliant! If I had a time machine, the first thing I'd use it for is to go see an early Ramones gig at CBGBs. And then I'd go kill Baby Hitler. Priorities...
Banger after banger, what a listen!
Rock
OG punk. Finally learned the real lyrics to Blitzkreig Bop
Good and classic. Not many differences music wise for the different songs though.
Literally bangers top to bottom. inventive. Cool. the model.
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.
3/5. It's a legendary album from a legendary band, but I wonder how much of that is novelty that has since worn off. There's no denying that this has some good songs on it. Obvious callout to the "Bop," whose cheery tone and iconic power chord riff has graced everything from sports stadium replays to documentaries to kids movies. There's definitely something infectious about the formula here. The way anyone can sing it and not sound out of tune with the Ramones' own dubious brand of singing. The way anyone can learn it on guitar after a week of picking up the instrument. The catchy vocal rhythms and the simple melodies. It's super accessible all around. A very worthwhile complaint is that it is monotonous. It is fun to hear "Blitzkrieg Bop' every now and then. Less so to hear 13 other songs that carry so much of the same DNA that you're dealing with the musical equivalent of fraternal quattuordecuplets. Let me put it this way: I would probably never recommend to someone another song on this album other than "Blitzkrieg." And I would never tell them to check out this album unless they said they really loved "Blitzkrieg" and wanted to listen to 13 other permutations of it.
I liken the Ramones to the Grateful Dead in the sense that I can recognize their band shirts and a song or two, but have never explored much further. This was a quick and interesting album, and I can definitely understand the significance as they paved the way for early punk.
I love these punks. What an incredible debut album
Never got around to listening to this, and it's fun for a while, but it gets a bit boring and samey.
Chugga, Chugga, Chugga, Chugga... 2.75
Es un álbum interesante para su época, pero no es algo que escucharía todo el tiempo.
Ground Zero
As tshirt sellers ramones are up with the best. Musically this is pap of the highest order. Silly without any humour
What it lacks in dynamics, it makes up for in sheer volume, urgency and power.
Floored that they’re just “Ramones” no “the” Approaching this with reverence. Quick and nostalgic even if I don’t have something to be nostalgic about. Reminds me of my 6th grade best friend who became punk and drifted apart. Not my genre but Blitzkrieg Bop is iconic. Learning they were sort of the start of punk in the city? Wikipedia says the album cover cost $125 and was shot by a woman.
buen álbum, muy bue inicio, la verdad el estilo y todo estuvo cool pero me pareció un roce repetitivo, por lo menos una canción muy funable que ni siquiera me terminé pq me dio cosa pero de reto un album bien, apenas
was fun rating a 4 but actually prob more a high 3
solid, wasn’t super my vibe today but pretty good
I would have been such a punk if I heard this earlier ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 Highlights: “Blitzkrieg Bop” “I want to be your boyfriend”
joa classic
I'm shocked and dumbfounded that this is the only Ramones album on the list. Seriously, were there not enough Bowie and Costello albums? This is one of the greatest recordings of all time. To me, it's as important as field recordings of lost tribes or extinct birdsong. I know that sounds really trite, but it's not. If you'd like to read more about what made this band so special, get a copy of Legs McNeil's *Please Kill Me*. These guys were the real thing. The leather jackets, the sunglasses, the ripped jeans, the very DIY approach to rock music—this was not an act. Hailing from Queens and Brooklyn, longtime friends Joey and Dee Dee were tired of all the yacht rock flooding the radio at the time. So, not really knowing how to play any instruments or even how to play the rock music of yesteryear, they did it their way. The Ramones continued the same legacy that guys like Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis started. Even the early Beatles, if you can find any pictures or recordings, were on par with the radical, aggressive vibe that rock was trying to capture at the time. Except, the funny thing is that the Ramones were dorky, sensitive guys (some of them angrier or stupider than the others), so none of these themes—hell, none of this sound—is LIKE ANYTHING that was made before. This is ground zero for modern rock as we know it. First off, listen to that guitar tone from Johnny Ramone. A lawnmower, maybe a chainsaw? Perfect tone. How about the speed of Tommy Ramone? It's like a machine gun firing on all cylinders. (He eventually quit due to exhaustion.) Dee Dee wrote everything, and Joey sang with the most down-to-earth, wonderful voice we could ever ask for. Dopey, but full of power and love. The themes? A kid getting chased with a baseball bat. Being young and dumb. Falling in love. Going to the club. Sniffing glue? Working on the street corner?? (Yup, apparently Dee Dee was seen working at 53rd and 3rd when he was young.) Nuclear war? The terrors of the basement? Being dumb? Having fun! So, maybe I'm stupid or something, but this is pure genius. This is not novelty music. This is real music made by real guys who wanted to strike a chord with what mattered about rock. And they succeeded (not financially, though). At the time, they recorded this in one week for $6,400. This was simply unheard of. Everybody who mattered started a band after learning about these guys. I don't think I would have picked up the guitar if it wasn't for them. Their first four albums should be in the book. But that's the cruel world we live in today. RIP the Ramones, the best band that ever lived, because they made us all realize that we could be part of the band, too. 5 stars forever.
So fun punk rock! Most of the songs sound the same but it makes sense if they pioneered the genre with this album
First song is a banger
This is a great album, filled to the brim with punk energy. Is it repetitive? Yes. do I care? No. The point isn't to create intricate songs that go on for ten minutes. Short bursts of musicality and rage is all you need sometimes. Do the songs blend into each other? Yes, but again I struggle to care about that. The point is that the Ramones are angry, want to express their anger, and did so in 14 songs, all under half an hour. I'll definitely listen to this album again. and not just for Blitzkrieg Bop.
Fun but so repetitive after a while. Blitzkrieg Bop can’t carry the weight of the entire album.
realllllyyyyy vibed with this. fear i didn’t lock in to listening to it the first time so will have to give this another go
Listened on a walk. As far as punk goes, I love and agree with everything the movement stands for. But as a pure listening experience, I cannot stand the stuff. One dimensional, grating, and worst of all - boring. I thought it was just because I'm getting old but then I remember that I've always hated The Ramones, and the fact they were so influential remains a mystery to me to this day.
It takes more than one song to make an album no matter how good that one song is Blitzkrieg Bop is a classic, I think they 100% saved their best for first. I loved playing it in Rock Band since it was one of the easiest to play perfect on expert mode and it was over so quick. As with all albums that basically invent a genre, it’s pretty cool to see how it all started (even though I’m not a huge fan). Also always have to give the artist props for the album being under 30 mins, especially since I was catching up from the weekend As great as Blitzkrieg Bop is, the novelty wears off very quick when EVERY song sounds like it. Seriously I’m pretty confident this is the single worst album we’ve got in terms of variety. I legit had to check a couple times to make sure the album didn’t loop back to the beginning. I think my view on the album deteriorated a bit more with each track, not because they were bad but because I was already sick of the almost identical sound If we were rating albums off singles, this would definitely be pretty high on my list but unfortunately I gotta rate it off the whole work. Please don’t give us more punk tomorrow
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.
I've said before that I think the Ramones are overrated. Listening to this album doesn't change my thinking on this. I mean, I enjoyed this, and I'm giving it a four because punk. Also because short. That last point is important. If you're going to have as many one note songs as the Ramones put on this album, fortunately they're short. To rant for a moment, I think I only have two problems with the Ramones. First, I don't much like Joey Ramone's crooning. It's fine when he's up there whining, yelling, sneering, shouting, coughing, whatever. Just don't croon. Second, I don't like the guitars as much as other punk bands. I'm cool with ripping away at one or two chords. It's the lack of pedal work or something (and I say that as a nonguitar player). An excellent example of this issue is Havana Affair. Up until the 49th second, the guitar is basic electric flailing, then at 00:49 the guitar tone shifts. I want more songs like that. Bands have written whole songs (maybe whole albums) with that sound. The Ramones? Once a year. Okay rant over. In the end I think punk needs multiple listens until those riffs and lyrics start playing in your head unsolicited. That's when the music starts making more and more sense especially when it comes to those early punk bands like the Ramones, the Damned, Sex Pistols etc.
I feel like I listened to the same song over and over for an hour. I like that song, though so it's not all bad.
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)
Blitzkrieg Bop is the best song on the Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3 soundtrack.
Fast, fun, simple and catchy. 14 songs in 29 minutes to create an album that would inspire a movement.
Don't like it. at all. That vocal tone is not pleasant.
Repetativ som faen, men det er helt greit når det som repeteres er helt rått!
Jævlig fengende! Bra arbeidsmusikk. Skal høre mere på Ramones.
Som album e det kanskje ikke det beste, men e så mange fete låte her at I må gi top score.
God stemning og dansbar «pop-punk». Ikke en plate jeg kommer til å sette på veldig ofte selv. 3.5 men runder opp i dag.
Eneste minuset e at det kan bli litt slitsomt i 29 minutt.
Hørt på spasertur på søndag. Starter med et bang, også blir det egentlig bare repeterende og litt kjedelig etter hvert. Savner litt mer dynamikk.
Masse energi, til dels syke tekster og annen faenskap. What's not to like?
The album that really started punk, and it’s quite clear why - to me it sounds like this wonderful transition point between the Beatles and Nirvana in the “make it simple and make it tuneful” school of pop-punk. While many punk albums have sophisticated, political, and lyrically brilliant themes (The Clash, Manic Street Preachers as good examples), Ramones is the archetype of the other school of punk - vaguely anarchist, absurd and funny by turns, and with an intense focus on energy and the music itself. Coming as it did in the 70s, it’s a wonderful contrast to the dense and long-winded albums that surrounded it - a periodic stomach punch that rock music so often needs to find its way. You can’t help but dance to this album, which sounds live and frantic in its recording. The spirit of joyous, playful, and frenetic punk is so well captured that you can quite easily ignore that the sound can be repetitive and some songs aren’t really all that interesting to listen to on repeat. But when it hits, man does it hit - Blitzkrieg Bop is a statement piece, but Havana Affair and Don’t Wanna Go Down To The Basement also stood out for me. I have to give it 4 and 1/2 stars for a slight drag in the middle.
Funny that the first album chosen for me was a key one from my teen years! Not listened for a while, but the Ramones' surf punk was the soundtrack of my summer back then - I don't think you can beat Blitzkrieg Bop and Judy Is A Punk for anthems. The three-chord 2 minute song was often ridiculed, but it's the simplicity that makes them so good, and there are some really clever lyrics.
I'd like to say there's beauty in all music genres but admittingly so, rock isn't my favourite. Prior to this, I have never heard of Ramones but upon listening to Ramones by Ramones I instantly recognised the single blitzkrieg bop. Its the only song on their album that I took to. Probably becuase its one of their most popular songs and is the type of song whereby even if you don't like rock you can listen to this. Overall, the album is not for me and its unlikely I'll give it a listen again.
Es un disco divertido, me sorprende la corta duración de las canciones.
Det er Blitzkrieg Bop det handler om. Resten er helt OK.
Likte det, trur eg kan høyre igjen.
2-3. Ikke dårlig, men litt kjedelig og gjentagende. Ikke et spennende sound for meg i dag. Enkelte kule låter.
Pretty awesome
Hey! Ho! Let's go! I was wandering along the streets of New York City when I accidentally joined a New Orleans style marching brass band. I was on a stopover in NYC, en route to California for a work event, ambling along 50th street. Before I knew what had happened, a marching band came out of nowhere and funneled me towards the entrance of Radio City. It was on the eighth floor of that building that The Ramones recorded this album. I have to admit though, the first time I heard this, many years ago, I didn't fully get the Ramones. Based on the album cover, and any images you see of them, The Ramones look like the coolest, most hardcore punk rock band. I know they didn't invent punk, but they're often credited as early pioneers of the punk rock sound. But when you listen to their music, it doesn't match the edgy vibe they put out in their image. I used to joke with a friend of mine about The Ramones and The Undertones being these tough-guy punks, but then singing songs about their perfect cousins or how they want to be your boyfriend, like a 50s doo-wop showband that parents would love. Ok, so it was just a surface level joke, because when you look a bit deeper, their lyrics are actually pretty damn edgy, dark and confrontational. For the most part anyways. “Blitzkrieg Bop” uses WWII imagery to describe the energy of a concert. It's a classic tune, and my favorite Ramones song. “Beat on the Brat” suggests active parenting with a baseball bat, “53rd & 3rd” is about prostitution, and “Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue” is… well, self explanatory. There's loads to love here. The tunes are catchy, minimalist, melodic and raw. Sure, after a while Joey's vocal style is a bit much to take, and the guitar tone and song makeup gets a bit “samey”. But the impact and influence can't be overstated. These songs essentially became an archetype for the New York punk scene sound for years to come afterwards. As did the image of The Ramones themselves. Even if the two didn't line up perfectly for me initially.
Los reyes del pop-rock neoyorquino debutan con este clásico que no llega a la media hora de duración con temas que no bajan nunca de los 160 BPM (a menudo te preguntas si esa canción ya había sonado). Pero eso era el punk rock y de eso se trataba. Ni de cantar muy bien, ni que se te entendiera, ni de ser muy virtuoso con la guitarra. El punk, ya se sabe, es la actitud. Y con todo esto lo petaron, aunque no comercialmente, de entrada. Ramones han ido desarrollando su base de seguidores con los años hasta convertirlos en un icono (véase camisetas, logos, etc.), que hoy en día sigue dando royalties. De su influencia y de los que los han copiado ya ni hablamos.
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".
pretty similar songs but they're all really good fav song: Blitzkrieg Bop
Loooove it
65
bit long album but coherent
Punk not dead
Zone out a fair bit. Repeated words. Lyrics are a bit childish.
I moved every song to my liked songs list😜
Liked that more than most punk albums
I can't comprehend anyone not loving this.
this is genuinely such a fun album from start to finish. i dont find myself going through my playlist to listen to most of these songs but man, if im in the mood for it, ill definitely find myself listening to this album on shuffle. white boys really need to go back to the garages and make music like this again.
It's great. It's mindless, silly, gonzo punk. Admittedly some songs are very similar, but they weren't trying to write that sort of album and as it's less than 30 minutes long, I can forgive them.
They have a nice free-wheeling sound, but it's a little too relentless without variation for too high of a rating, even though I respect that they kept the album short, so an easy 3er
A lot of ink has been spilled over the past few years about how TikTok is shrinking song length with an assumption that these changes are for the worst. The Ramones are here to tell you that short songs are not necessarily bad songs. Sometimes the sound gets a bit repetitive, but just wait two minutes and you’ll feet another song. 4.5 stars rounded up
I used to hate Ramones for being repetitive and just uninteresting compared to the hardcore stuff I was listening to as a teenager. Repetition is fine when you've perfected the formula and set up generations of future punks for success.
Overall Rating - 3.43/5 (6.86/10). This is the kind of early punk I really enjoy.
Favorite Track: Blitzkrieg Bop
Not my style hut solid
Never been an actual fan of the punky flavor, though. I am into more intense complexity in the music, both in the arrangement and in the poetry. For sure, the Ramones are an iconic act and made their historical impact. But I'd prefer not to get back to this band ever again.
This is dood
3.5 stars, surprised by how many songs I knew from before
Classic punk rock. Simple and raw, full of energy.
Yeah Ramones bitches
Ramones by Ramones kicks in immediately and never lets up. From the first second it’s just overdrive fast, fun, and full of energy. Every song feels like it’s flying at the same pace, so it never really gets boring in the moment. It’s obviously hugely influential. Even now, decades later, you can still hear this exact sound in modern punk and rock. The only downside for me is how repetitive it gets. After a while it starts to feel like I’m listening to the same song over and over, and I kind of wish it had a bit more space to breathe. Maybe it’s one that improves with more listens, but even on first go it was definitely a fun ride. It also makes me want to explore more early punk. I’d give it a 3.5 if I could, but I’m leaning more toward a 3 than a 4. Wine pairing? Skip the wine. This is a six-pack of cheap, honest lager. Food pairing? Average pizza take away that hits the spot. Vinyl? Probably not a priority for me. Overall strong 3 out of 5.
As much as I love punk, the Ramones never did much for me
I knew Blitzkrieg but never heard a full album by them before. It was good, but a lot of them were a bit samesy.
051221 13:35 3.5
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
An iconic album, artwork, image and related T shirt merchandise. This album, in terms of influence, could be classed as one of the key works of popular music, though it cannot be denied that the album appears musically limited and aside from 'Blitzkrieg Bop' it sounds a bit dated if truth be told. I found Johnny Ramone's interviews very funny and the idea that, as they didn't have cars or girlfriends, that lyrics avoided cliche may well explain their championing by the music press, English teachers and such like. The signature rhythm guitar sound is legendary (and influenced a Queen track) but not all one dimensional bands can sustain a successful career.
Classic! One of the earliest examples of punk rock! This must have sounded amazing when it came out back then. Seeing them live back then must have also been amazing. The music here sounds so fun anyone who doesn’t like this album clearly has no understanding of good music and should leave this project now!
With the Ramones, I’ve always wondered who or what they were actually parodying—maybe themselves in the end? Their debut, however, is iconic, and in my view, that’s really only due to the cover art and the first two songs, “Blitzkrieg Bop” (whose lyrics I still don’t fully grasp) and “Beat on the Brat.” After that, it’s more of the same: the simplest, yet catchiest, absolutely flawlessly performed, and impeccably produced punk rock. Still, I’m not sure how to rate it. On the one hand, it’s certainly a classic. On the other hand, I don’t feel the need to listen to it again right away. 4/5
Got a little too samey-samey for me a few times, but overall enjoyable.
Einfach klassisches geiles punk album. Nichts allzu besonders einfach nen paar Kids die Bock hatten Mucke zu machen. Jeder song fühlt sich Amateurhaft aber auch frei an. Aber mehr als einfach nen gutes Punk Album ist es leider nicht. Das Album ist sehr Eindimensional Blöde songs: Loud mouth Coole songs: Blitzkrieg Bob, Beat on the Brat, I wanna be Your Boyfriend, Havana Affair
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
it is
Banger punk album, basically made the genre
Me gustó mucho, muy lindos temas ♡
Can't hate it. They aren't my fav of the initial wave of punk, I think the Stooges and NY Dolls have them beat to be frank, but it's perfectly fun music at the end of the day. A solid record.
Yeah fuck it this bangs let’s have ittttt PERFECT album to open a restaurant to. (Didn’t meant to rate NWA a 3 it’s a 4 are you CRAZY?)
Just last month I was working at the AO arena in Manchester as you can imagine we played this song a lot (blitzkrieg bop), the highlight was blasting it in the van as we entered the arena. Okay though a lot of these songs are nearly exactly the same.
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.
fun but repetitive
It's the Ramones. At least it's short
En mi opinión no soy tan fan del Punk Rock pero siento que Ramonas fue un grupo muy importante y especial para este género, este álbum es un variado de todo lo que pudo hacer esta banda, se escucha completamente el sonido de la guitarra y sus voces tratando de marcarse. Le doy un 3.5 por lo que no se igual mucho de esta banda sin embargo sería un clásico para escuchar algo de rock
A Little bore for my taste
BOLUDO, SON LOS RAMONES, TOMÁ MIS 5☆
Repetitive, sure. Simplistic, sure. Great, definitely. 4 Star
No lo termine de escuchar, no es mi estilo la verdad, pero en algun momento lo escuchare entero
Was probably innovative at the time. With 2026 ears, it's an ok album
Excellent album that doesn't overstay its welcome. Starts with an absolute banger, but I do think the songs slowly get a bit weaker as the album goes on. Biggest critique: all the tracks do sound the same.
Had high hopes this was going to be an awesome album after the Blitzkreig Bop but I personally was underwhelmed after. Everything sounded the same without much variation but at the same time it’s not like it was bad but just a little forgettable.
Another one of the best debuts ever. I love the Ramones - I know the sound has been copied to death and they were far from virtuosos at their instruments, but this is everything you want out of a rock band - short, catchy songs, never pretended to be anything they're not, and widely influential and beloved to this day. Everything that made them great is evident on the first album - the odd sense of humor, the unique sound, the feeling that they're not getting what they're going for but stumbled on something new entirely. Some of its sentimental for me as a 13 year old but I gotta go 5 stars.
The greatest set of songs ever compiled, no. Enegetic important influential punk power chord combos, absolutely.
bof bof du vieux rock a lancienne jai pas raison l'équipe ?
Simple, all clocking under 2.5 minutes. But repetitive as time went on, each song sounding the same Reserved for the one or two outstanding hits
When it is about punk, this is the album you need to listen to.
Some of these songs aren't great -- the emphasis on "little girl" in "I wanna be your boyfriend," the songs about sniffing glue or not wanting to go in the basement sound sort of like saying stuff just to kill time, but all of them are going on my workout playlist so this is a 4. Keepers/Top 10: Blitzkrieg Bop
A masterpiece that kicks your ass for a half-hour and leaves you wanting more. To paraphrase James Merrill, you stand ready to receive the filler tracks that keep never coming. Best track: “Blitzkrieg Bop”
Podría ser su grandes éxitos pero es su álbum de debut. 5/5, punto.
Love
Agregué 3 temas a mi lista, me gustó
pre-listening: I know nothing about these dudes but i love the 2nd middle guys look and vibe. they are all so tall and awkward looking. 1976. 1: HEY HO BLIITZKRIEG BOP
What else needs to be said about this? All killer and no filler, this is essentially ground zero for punk rock. Ramones mix their love for The Stooges and 60's girl groups on their debut and you have a winning formula. Everyone and their nan knows 'Blitzkreig Bop' and as overplayed as it is, it is insane to think it is the very first song on their first album. What a mission statement! This is bone-headed and proud, poor Joey can't even pronounce the word 'basement'!. We get a rare tender moment on the longing 'I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend'. The guitar work and basslines are beyond simplistic, but sound amazing. Dee-Dee's bass pops in the mix and Johnny's down stroking guitar playing resembles a chainsaw. I can't imagine how the last 50 years of rock music would look if these guys didn't come along.
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.
This is punk at its greatest. Sloppy singing, sloppy lyrics, sloppy everything. This album is a towering achievement in punk. Highlights: Blitzkrieg Bop Beat on the Brat I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend I Don't Wanna Walk Around With You
No me gustó, ya que las canciones eran con ritmos muy repetitivos, duraciones muy cortas y era todo muy igual
Hey Ho!
I almost don't even have to listen to it, these songs are all burnt into my memory from constant listening to all of their albums back in the '70s and '80s. A genuine cultural touchstone with a leather jacket and a sneer. At the time, this was truly revolutionary stuff, and it threw the doors open for the whole punk rock scene that followed. Nothing makes me feel quite as mortal and old as the fact that they're all gone now (the original 4 anyway). This would be an excellent desert island disc, but the volume and energy would reach any ships passing by, and they'd offer to rescue you if you'd just turn that damn noise down. :-)
Fuerte y rapido
Kinda repetitive but very fun to listen
Simple almost naive songs, dodgy production , basic lyrics ( the second verse is the same as the first) all the while trying to not collapse in to a chaotic mess. 5 stars
Really like the first and ninth tracks. I think it starts to sound like one long song. I like their use of rhythm, they use it to convey a lot of energy. I enjoyed.
Great
Maleta
It was ok . The kind of music you hear in a playful fight like the kingsman movies or marvel movies or in the start of a coming of age movie
Short and repetitive but it paved the way for the punk rock I do absolutely love. A raw album with only a couple of memorable tracks but tons of energy. I get why it’s such a beloved album for those who hadn’t heard anything like it before.
Some good songs, some not so good.
Great hits for special occasions, not entirely my favorite as a full album
A classic. Influential to the maxx. But not my favorite.
I'm going to rate this higher than my actual affinity for it because of its historical significance. Otherwise, I liked this better when I was younger, but the raw, simple riffs don't land with me as much as they did when I was more controlled by hormones and impulsive behavior. Also, as a side note to the haters: yes, their songs all sound the same, they use the same riffs repeatedly, and their lyrics are sophomoric. That's the point, and they were the first big name punk band to get popular doing it.
14 tracks in 29 minutes. efficiency
feels like they gave Blitzkrieg Bop 14 verses. favorite song is Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World. soft 3
Rating: 8/10 It’s the fucking Ramones, not much more can be said about how seminal and influential the debut self-titled album is. A whole bunch of punk pop songs that rock hard through their raw energetic nature, simple repetitive song structures, and just a few chords
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
This was better than I expected.
This is cute. I like how short the songs are, I appreciate how this is foundational to lots of music that I like that came afterwards, but no I don't really like this album that much
Pretty boring sonically other than Blitzkrieg Bop but still enjoyed Judy is a Punk, Let's Dance and Today Your Love. I guess I didn't find any of the songs funny or transgressive enough to be interesting but liked it when they were getting a bit soft.
Fun to hear what the ancient version of like the first two pre-Dookie Green Day albums became - even if anyone who gets a 40-minute guitar lesson can basically play the whole thing. I think this is OK and not as good as the couple of other Ramones songs I know - but, it's fine, and it knows what it is. I like Let's Dance and I Don't Wanna Walk Around With You.
Rocket to Russia has the better songs, but recently I've been realizing that this is one of the best sounding punk albums there is. Just love how that guitar and bass combine to grind on like that! Like sure, it all sounds the same, but that's okay because you'll love how it sounds. Anyway, if you're a fan of punk or indie rock or anything like that, this is easily one of the most essential albums you'll ever hear.
I've listened to this album at least twice per year for the last 40 years. It is the epitomy if stupid fun. Highly recommended when motivation is needed for house cleaning.
Classic beast of an album. Not perfect due to repetition but very good and a meaningful album of my childhood.
I like the Ramones, but does very song have to sound nearly identical. Is this what you do when only know how to do anything else?
One of my favourite debut albums. I remember reading that themes of the famines were unemployed and decided to they were going to spend their unemployment on instruments and learn to play, but nothing too complicated. And that is how they created their sound- simple catchy power chords with a rawness that I loved. When I started my first band, this album was like our bible. We always played blitzrieg bop and closed our sets with today your love at twice the speed. God bless you ramones.
Classic!!!
The Clash, en naze.
Album No. 0189 on my list. My knowledge about punk music, especially early punk, is expandable, but I had never actively pursued it. So I was glad to have “The Ramones” as my album of the day just the day after listening to “The Clash”. Two key punk debut albums in a row! I had known some of the tracks on this, but was curious how the whole thing would hold up. And I actually thing it’s pretty good! Peak punk: straightforward, short and sweet, message over music. Compared to The Clash, I found the whole thing somewhat less political and somewhat more personal instead. There are several love songs on this, some of them even reminding me of The Beach Boys in the sense that they are short, easy to listen to, and simple (but not in a bad way). This is a less aggressive, but more pop-leaning version of punk. Certainly very influential and deserving of its spot on the 1001 album list. In line with the genre (or at least my perception of it), there is sometimes little variability between the songs, but it’s certainly still possible to pick out some of them for future playlist-based listening. I’ll add “Blitzkrieg Bop”, “Judy Is A Punk”, “Havana Affair”, “53rd and 3rd”, and “Let’s Dance” to my playlist. 4/5 stars! (Might even increase this in the future.)
Just Fun
Pretty good album with some riffs and joyfull atmosphere. Rate 8/10
Jedes Lied klingt gleich
Its good fun and a pleasant listen. Not sure much more than that though. Lots of short upbeat tracks.
fun, rockey
Hey ho this shit blows
First and final Ramones, surprisingly. I know these guys are a seminal act within punk, which is why I'm surprised their reputation only warranted one list album. Maybe the rest of their discography just sucks. Anyways, I'm not a punker so I'm not expecting much from this album, but stranger things have happened before. Here goes. Yeah, not bad. I definitely favour this album over the other punk offerings I've listened to. There isn't much to remark about when it comes to this music, truth be told. It's just the same song repeated over 14 tracks. A little excessive, but that 28-minute runtime keeps things in check. The instrumentals and vocals are both good and pair with one another nicely. The guitarwork is especially solid, obviously. The blown-out riffs are reeled in nicely by the cool bass guitar, and elsewhere the decent percussion keeps me nodding along to the music. The vocals are a little hit-or-miss and can be a little awkward at points, but they're classic punk and generally get the job done. Overall, yeah. This was solid. Hey, "Blitzkrieg Bop". I've heard this song, unsurprisingly. One of the quintessential punk tunes, though I've never thought of it as a punk song until now. In any case, it's a good tune. A little simplistic and shortwinded, but it's fun all the same. The guitars have a fun, breakneck feel, yet also a surprising bit of levity. The songwriting is pretty decent as well. The "Hey! Ho! Let's go!" is iconic, and the vocals once again have a feeling of weightlessness to them. Good song. Book time. "... the ultimate punk statement." Recorded in two days on a budget of $6,000 then-money, which is $22,970 USD today. That's pretty punk. The absence of guitar solos was a "...revolutionary declaration", apparently. Wasn't commercially successful, but had a big impact on the trajectory of punk, inspiring acts like The Sex Pistols, The Clash and Buzzcocks. Yeah, like I said, I get the impression that Ramones deserve better from this list. I've clicked through their albums on Wikipedia and their four albums from the 70s are all very warmly received, though they appear to have taken a tumble with all the others which followed. At the very least, I feel like they deserve one extra album on the list. For the time being, however, I can gladly cosign this inclusion.
I really like the guitar tone when they overdrive it.
Tylsää, kuulostaa samalta
Kommer inte lyssna
Inte min smak och rätt enformigt
Is it punk? Yes. Is it pop? Yes. Is it dumb as hell? Yes. Is it smartly done? Yes. Does every song sound similar? Yes. Are the songs distinct enough? Yes. It's the Ramones. It's everything it needs to be, and nothing more. It's fucking perfect. 5/5.
So I didn't have any standouts for this song except the first two tracks but the album as a whole remained upbeat and energetic all throughout which I thought was nice.5/10, Favorite Song: Beat on the Brat
Blitzkrieg Bop is good, 13 more times of that not so much...
This was fun, but almost every song sounded the same, not necessarily bad but they blended a bit. My standouts would be the intro and I wanna be your Boyfriend.
The Ramones are an immensely important step in the story of where a lot of my favorite music came from. Unfortunately this album is a lot more important than it is good. It's got 14 of practically the same song on here. Some of them are mildly better than the others. I'll give it a generous bonus for its historical impact, but without that it would have been a 2 something. 3.3/5
Man I love the Ramones. Rocket to Russia will always be my favorite album, but their debut is such a classic.
3.5
I really like many of the songs I know on this album, but after a while they all start to sound the same. Still full of bops, though!
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.
This is alright, but a bit more one-note than the other punk records we've listened to. That's fine, and the runtime helps as it doesn't last forever, but it does just feel like the same song on a loop.
I am familiar with the Ramones. I like the Blitzkrieg Bop the most! I think Bruce Springsteen used to write songs for them as well.
It's all the same song
I was not around for their heyday. So I'm missing quite a bit of the zeitgeist. I understand what it was, but I don't get what it was like. It seems to me that must have been an important part of this scene. Hell, it must have been integral because the music on its own is not remotely interesting. Could they be a victim of their own success? I know who they are & I know what they sound like because they are icons. But that's all there is. There's no depth. But then I understand that's kind of the point. So whatever. That's cool I guess. They do have a catchy tune or two. Which is odd because they actually only have one song. 2.5 stars.
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.
Hey Daddio
Hey! Ho! Let's go!
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.
Recognized one song, and can acknowledge it’s a classic but I kind of got tired of their sound pretty quickly. Not unenjoyable tho!
After Blitzkrieg bop they all sort of sounded the same tbh which I guess is nice in terms of the album having a distinct sound but they were a bit too similar for my liking
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.
more humor than I remember.
Kultni klasik s lijepim kratkim punk rock poskocicama
Hey! Ho! Let’s go!
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.
I'll admit I didn't love this album, listening to it, just now (didn't hate it -- just didn't love it). But The Ramones were very influential, probably THE American punk rock band. And they were definitely a New York band, and I think I came to like them more when I lived in New York (1983-87), and probably heard them more on the radio. Trivial side note: I actually saw iconic (tall, skinny, long hair) lead singer Joey Ramone in New York, one time (I think it was in the 90s, on a return visit); pretty sure he was going into the famous comics/graphic novels/toy shop, Forbidden Planet. But, musically, listening today, I'd be hard-pressed to give this more than 3 stars. If I included their influence, and how their music, coming out in the mid-70s, when popular music had taken a turn for the worse (and boring), was like a splash of cold water in the face, I'd probably give them 4 stars (at least). But, since I'm just rating how I like the music on this album today: 3 stars.
I never saw much appeal to the Ramones and I still don't. I imagine they get a lot of credit for starting punk and probably had some fun live shows. I can tell they had a good sense of humor. But musically I don't find it very interesting and it's certainly not something I'd choose to listen to. Sorry dad
lubię punk ale trochę monotonny album hmm
4/10 - apart from the opening song, nothing of note to write home about
Rock bby
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.
One of the quintessential punk rock albums and incredibly influential. It may be a bit one-note but that note is very very good (and very fast).
Big Ramone Fan. Classic Pop Punk Album
Man do they love 8th notes. Made me think I was depressed. Felt nothing. I guess it wasn’t actively annoying so 2/5
no need for a long review here. speaks for itself. i learned how to play guitar by playing along to this album, totally formative for me.
fun to bop along too but also all kinda sounds the same
Certainly can't deny their significance, but the ramones just aren't 4 me
Está muy bueno y todo, pero medio que sentí que fue una sola canción que no terminaba más.
Pretty repetitive. It has some pretty good tracks here and there but as an album it all becomes a sort of blur
Blitzkrieg Bop I don’t Wanna go Down to the Basement Havana Affair Let’s Dance I Don’t Wanna Walk Around
Blitzkrieg Bop Beat on the Brat Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue Loudmouth Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World
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
Criticizing the Ramones for being repetitive feels like criticizing the ocean for being wet
Not my favorite
great
Am I an asshole for saying Fuck the Ramones? Man, I hate these guys as much as Sonic Youth. Guess you had to be there. I hate Joey Ramone and his fuckin Prince of Spain looking ass, triple cleft chin havin' MFer, learn to sing, you asshole.
I can appreciate the cultural impact while also saying "this ain't for me"
This album is SO FUNNY because it literally is just Blitzkrieg Bop over and over and over and over again!!!!!!!!
Punk! Not quite enough variance to be five starts I think.
It's like they recorded the same song 10 times but with slightly different lyrics. Blitzkrieg bop is nice tho.
B+
Debut album. Punk. One of the best debut albums of all time. Also an album of mega influence. It's short, sharp and punchy. The complete opposite of the Prog and huge stadium Rock bands on the other end of the spectrum at the time. I like all that too but Punk was needed to strip it all back again. 29 mins flies by.
This is a Masterpiece from the first beat of “Blitzkrieg Bop” through “I Want to be Your Boyfriend” until the last lingering guitar chord of “Today yr love Tomorrow the World”. They are punk personified and influential beyond their wildest dreams. So simple yet so different from anything before. Do a lot of songs sound similar? Sure, that’s the reason for the 4 stars, but how else are you going to invent a genre?
One of the most influential albums to all the melodic folk punk emo indie shit I lived for in the 80’s and early 90’s. The songs are so perfectly constructed with the minimalism of 4 chords and their no fuss production. But they are also notable for their catchy and accesible melodies. The Ramones continue to work in the TikTok era with youngster's 10 second attention span …
Love
Mid-70’s punk
Not enough stars.
Quick album only 29 minutes. I had heard of The Ramones before, but only recognized 1 song, Blitzkrieg Bop. I also liked I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend and Let’s Dance (even though think that’s a cover of another song). Most of the songs sounded the same. Loved the album cover! Rating: 3
High energy from the jump, sustained through the close. Great throwback that’s still fun today.
Don’t hate it but was bored through out
Sometimes you just need dumb punk rock
I think mr burns said it best when watching the ramones "have the rolling stones killed". Record is decent enough! All songs sound the same though. Can imagine it was great when it came out. Ramones are okay 👍
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...
Alright but repetitive riffs Every song was the same
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.
Niiiice
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.
have the rolling stones killed
Another classic I grew up with. My Dad often talks about getting to see the original line-up at least three times. Not that I’m jealous. Favourite track: Judy is a Punk
Bit repetitive but strong songs and not long too
Remember listening to this as a kid and loving it. Toddler is dancing around to it this morning. There’s just something innate about these jams
p368. 1976. 3 stars. Proto-punk, massive energy and lots of filler. This has not aged well.
I do like their music, but the issue with The Ramones is that once you've heard one song, you've heard them all. Blitzkrieg Bop is great, but the rest of the album is pretty redundant after that.
Quintessential early punk rock. Simple chords hammering at a fast pace. Standout is leadoff "Blitzkrieg Bop". Every other track is very derivative from then on, but it's not really a bad thing when you're in the mood for that sound. Lyrics and violent and edgy. Other favorite is "Havana Affair" which has a really fun riff.
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 😭
3.5
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.
Straigh forward. Sem surpresas. Nunca tinha ouvido o álbum completo
Man I really thought I was going to like this album. I usually like rock like this but every one of the 14 songs sounded so similar that the fatigue set in quickly. 1.5/5
Many of the songs sounded like Bletzkrieg Bop starting over again, and I was sort of disappointed when it wasn't. The Ramones are loud and fun, though, and it was a loud and fun time. 3.75 stars.
todos lo temas iguales pero estaban buenos
This really just is the same song over and over again
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
FUCK YES! How could anyone not like this album? It's energetic, has hooks, attitude, and, most of all, it's fun! Goddamn this band were great. If you've given this album anything less than a 5 then you should stop listening to music as you clearly have no idea about the importance of this band and *most importantly* their brilliance. Best Tracks: Blitzkrieg Bop; Beat on the Brat; Judy is a Punk
Timeless classic
Punk en su estado mas balanceado, simple y eficiente. Influyente, mas no una genialidad.
Easy to ear. Sound just as a Classic
A classic one Love punk, still, i dont like that this one sounds identical in every fucking song
Fire album
hey, ho, let´s go
Excelente álbum!
It was fun to listen 😁
You know you have hit immortality when Kohl’s is selling your shirts. The Ramones have always been one of those unique bands that makes you wonder how they made it with such simplicity. But looking at in context of the scene it makes sense. Zeppelin had put out Physically Graffiti the year before; Rush put out 2112; Rainbow, Genesis and Yes all put out legendary progress rock albums that same year. The Ramones took their 1950s bop sounds and updated for an impatient generation sliding into Chic Disco tracks. You can definitely the musical influence from the New York Dolls but with their own unique sound. Ever song is quick, easy, and memorable for a sock hop or mosh pit. My favorite: Blitzkrieg Bop, of course. I can handle the Ramones in bursts but after a disc full of bite sized appetizers, I’m usually really for a more involved main course.
Random thoughts: * The Ramones are a what you see is what you get band. Straight ahead punk rock. * Blitzkrieg Bop and Judy is a Punk are the standout tracks. * I know Judy is a Punk from the Royal Tenebaums soundtrack. I think I’m gonna go listen to that now instead of my 1001 homework. * This is definitely a worthy 1001 album. You need to hear this to understand the evolution of rock n roll. * I saw a concert at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in LA and happened to see Johnny Ramones grave when I was stumbling out of the concert. That was pretty cool.
gonna slap 5 stars on this, it just slapped, great punk rock
Just bangers all the way down. 29 minutes of raw, unfiltered energy.
I like the Ramones, but listening to this album feels like hearing the same 3 songs in a row. They're better consumed on a per song basis. Songs I especially liked: "Blitzkrieg Bop", "Beat on the Brat", "List to My Heart", "Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World"
5/10 no los he escuchado tanto
De vuelta al rock and roll de los 50 sin tapujos y sin adornos. Solo rock
Energetic.
Not very interesting. Americans don't know how to punk?
I love the vibe, but how are they all the same song?
Unpretentious punk rock, rebel kids making loud music just for the sake of it. I love it SO MUCH, I don’t care that it’s repetitive, its catchy, energitic and FUN
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!
Wow turns out I really internalised the “oh you’re wearing a Ramones t-shirt? Name five of their songs” discourse of the early 2010s because tell me why I thought I’d never listened to the Ramones, when I indeed know and love the Ramones?? Anyway, great album that had me banging my head on my otherwise bleak walk home. I’m flying against my fear that I’ve given too many 5 star ratings lately, but this is a 5 star album!
it starts out fun and it’s a nice jolt of energy but I don’t think this album really has any of my favourite Ramones songs and it was all sounding a bit the same by the end (I’m sure a classic Ramones critique) all to say I wish I enjoyed this more but also would probably go back to it
Beneath the three chord songs, these guys could write a hook.
First half I was like "ugh, this is all the same song!". Second half I was like "hell yeah, this is all the same song!"
OK look, I know it's not the complete works of Shakespeare but, ladies and gentlemen, I give you, THE RAMONES 😅 💪 💪 Norman Wisdom, Johnny, Joey, Dee Dee, good times.
