Ramones

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.

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

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

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!

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 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.

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

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.

lubię punk ale trochę monotonny album hmm

Rock bby

fun to bop along too but also all kinda sounds the same

Está muy bueno y todo, pero medio que sentí que fue una sola canción que no terminaba más.

Criticizing the Ramones for being repetitive feels like criticizing the ocean for being wet

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.

This album is SO FUNNY because it literally is just Blitzkrieg Bop over and over and over and over again!!!!!!!!

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

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 👍

Alright but repetitive riffs Every song was the same

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.

3.5

Straigh forward. Sem surpresas. Nunca tinha ouvido o álbum completo

Timeless classic

Punk en su estado mas balanceado, simple y eficiente. Influyente, mas no una genialidad.

It was fun to listen 😁

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.

Energetic.

Excelente disco. Tiene unos temazos, creo que se vuelve un poco repetitivo

Ok

Punkkia. Punkki on punkkia. Tämä punkki ei ime verta eikä levitä tauteja, mutta ei purasekkaan.

Ei tästä paljoa oo sanottavaa, suoraviivanen, simppeli, iso vaikuttaja moneen genreen. Ei ominta musiikkia, mutta suht helppo kuunneltava

no oigo mucho rock pero sé que los ramones son muy famosos y blitzkrieg bop me recuerda a mi infancia

Fav song: I wanna be your boyfriend Album rating: 7.2

Very strong start to an album, then it started to get pretty repetitive.

Maybe this is just me being ignorant of the history of the genre, but this doesn’t sound anywhere near as edgy as I expected it to. It feels weird having lyrics about Nazism and violence and other controversial topics paired with “let’s gos!” and “ooh yeahs” over Ionian power chord progressions. I was expecting it to be more musically dissonant and intense, instead it ends up being kinda camp? Maybe it’s meant to and I’m missing the point - this was still an enjoyable listen and there’s some good songwriting on here.

Great, lively, punk album where 70% of the tracks share the same bass line/percussion.

Classic punk. Blitzkrieg Bop is such an iconic track. Punk with poppy melodies/structure. I Dont Wanna Go is pretty good as a not-so-good BB. Best track (other than BB) - Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue, I Dont Wanna Go Down To The Basement, Today Your Love 3 stars - sound is distinctive and some tracks are great but it's all too samey

Gets credit for being a strong debut but I much prefer Rocket to Russia. Saw them in New Haven at Toad's Place back in the day!

Without a doubt the main influence on punk to this day. A sound that within its genre has remained fresh. However, I am not a big fan of punk, I consider some songs are good but at some point most of them sound the same. I give it a 2, I think is a solid album but I don't see my self listening to the entire album over and over again.

Starts off strong then very repetitive…

Prosjecan album, high energy al svaka pisma ima iste bubnjeve i dosta toga zvuci slicno, al ajde svida mi se sta je vecina pisama kratka. 5/10 Najbolja pisma: Havana affair

Sounds like trash but in like a good fun way. In all seriousness, not really my style, but definitely don't hate it. Pretty okay listen.

Kurde, bardzo fajny klimat, tekst i styl. Szkoda ze album to 12 piosenek w 6 wersjach, które brzmią tak samo

Listening session: february 13th, while commuting to internship Listened to before: heard a couple songs before Thoughts: I agree that most songs sound exactly alike but I don’t really mind because it puts you in a good mood while listening to it Favourite tracks: Blitzkrieg Bop, I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend & Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue

Meh. Every song sounding like a garage band track got old. I like the first few then things got repetitive. “1, 2, 3” got really old.

Not a fan of most of the tracks. I like the style and the purpose, but the content is average to me.

Loved.

When I want dumb ass rock 'n' roll I turn to The Ramones. I'm finding that I want dumb ass rock 'n' roll more and more as life gets ever complex. This is the sound of a band learning how to play their instruments. They never really mastered this, but that's not the point. It's all about the attitude. It's not Year Zero punk, either. There are some glam hangovers to be found in the guitar riffs. It could also be a bastard version of Mick Ronson cutting out the chunky chords. This album makes me want to wear back leather for the rest of my life.

Quick, short, powerful!

I wish I could give .5’s blitzkreig bop rocks. I actually like the production sound. Too many songs sound the same.

I mean, whatever. This all kinda sounded the same and it wasn't my favorite but it wasn't, like, bad. Da blitzkrieg bop

typical rock band stuff. good but not very special or unique. I liked the songs but dont know how much of an influence they had on the music industry 6/10

Honestly thought this was very one-note as an album. I like that it's a little silly but every song just bled into the next. Nothing felt very unique at all! The one note is GOOD but just got boring after a while. 6/10

the Ramones have never been my favourite punk band, but their impact makes this a 4 for me (over a probably 3 album)

Good background noise

The passing of time has aged this, but still a fun listen

Not my typical music but it was super fun and nostalgic!

Easy to see how this album/band influenced the sound of punk rock. Several of their songs sound very similar, but ooze the essence of punk rock. 3/5

Very old school. A bit repetitive though with the riffs Best-blitzstreet bop In music we had to listen to this exact song lol

Fun fast punk rock that doesn't overstay its welcome.

It's amazing the staying power these songs have, even after 50 years. This is rock n roll in its purest form.

Classic punk, with more of a 50s rock n roll influence than the pistols. Production is poor but who cares.

fun to put an album cover to a song you've heard a gazillion times. enjoyed this listen!

High energy but fairly easy listening. Every song sounds the same.

All sounds the same! But important nonetheless. 2.8/5

The opening track is a classic, and there are others as well, but this might be the all-time worst drum sound on a recording ever. I get that they may have recorded this in a New York apartment (I don't know the recording history, but they couldn't have spent much on production), but those cymbals are awful. And the whole mid-rangeyness of the album is a major detraction after three songs. And while it's a feat to pen simple songs that resonate, I guess these don't quite do that with me. I love that The Ramones made their impact, but I prefer to admire them rather than listen to an actual album.

Ramones для меня группа больше для надписи на футболке.

Very catchy--loved this. I like this genre; some songs were repetitive? Really good otherwise

Every song sounds similar, but I understand the influence and respect that

It's funny, for some reason in my head I always validated this album as iconic. Turns out... I don't really feel that way after listening twice yesterday lol. Although I no longer want to deem it "iconic" I think it's extremely fair to say this is a perfect album for those who haven't ventured into punk rock and need something to scratch the surface for the genre. Not a whole lot of depth to the album overall but I don't think that was the goal by any stretch - it's basically 30 minutes of unadulterated fun... and sometimes that's all you need for a solid listen! 2.5/5

Some really fun and iconic songs. But nothing really stood out to me

Pretty good stuff but repetitive sounds, inspired a lot of modern bands

I am not a fan of hard core punk, this is more what I would call pop-punk. That is tolerable, and on occasion a guilty pleasure. Anything I'd own or put on a playlist? No. Does it make me scream turn it off? No. 3.

ok

Some classic pop rock. Enjoyed.

This album is great, but every song pretty much sounds like a variation of blizkrieg bop. I dont have a problem with that.

Kinda the same song but different lyrics not bad

Good but all really similar

I’m not huge on the Ramones, and this didn’t change my mind. I just find it a bit boring. Some songs were catchy though and the lyrics are witty.

A few good tracks but quite samey

I highly doubt you could delineate songs on this album without the vocals. Huh? You think you can? Nu uh I said you can't

#828. Hey, ho, let's go. 3/5: alright, alright, I'm going already.

Musikrichtung supi. Als Album so naja. Dann doch alles irgendwie gleich. Für mich eine positive Überraschung das Cover von lets Dance.

Album #35 Ramones: Ramones One thing that I find interesting about the early stages of punk is its use of Nazi and fascist iconography as a form of counter-culture. The obvious examples being the first punk bands out of the U.K like the Sex Pistols and The Clash, and with Ramones being generally given credit as being the first big American punk band, it is consistent that they too would adopt this habit in their debut. Even though the intentions weren’t to be fascist, and people at the time understood that, if a modern punk band of today were to try that, I feel like the nuance would be lost. I can’t imagine Parquet Courts rolling up to perform Wide Awake whilst looking like Hitler and Guebbels. Aesthetics aside, though truly much of the punk scene was built upon aesthetics first, music second, which is why the songs are often short and simple; the music of the Ramones is undeniably fun. It possesses a raw energy which just makes it hard not to identify with, unless you are truly devoid of either youth or joy. The topics and lyrics are also quite simple, with the songs often having one express purpose: “I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend” is a song about wanting to be someone's boyfriend, “Judy is a Punk” is a song about Judy being a Punk, and most egregiously. “Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue” is a song about the sense-datum theory of perception and whether or not we truly ever experience anything, or it is all a form of qualia interpreted and localized entirely within our brains. This album is undeniably influential, and in my opinion, still a really enjoyable listen, depending on the mood. If I want something introspective and intelligent, I’ll go with Dylan, but if I want to sniff some glue, Ramones it is. Best Tracks: Blitzkrieg Bop, Judy Is a Punk, Beat on the Brat Worst Track: Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue Score out of 10: 7.5

Decent. Would be fun to chug beers to

I wasn’t into this

It was fun but honestly a bit tamer than I expected.

Lively.Whole album pretty much sounds the same

Fuck ass gta 5 radio band

2/3. Pleasant surprise, usually I hate punk but not this time. I can actually understand the singing which gives them big points, and the riffs are undeniable. Blitzkrieg Bop is in fact a bop.

A band I never really listened to or got into, they just never really appealed to me. Oh, They sing that song! Good start. The album was ok to listen to, but I found it very similar. Every song pretty much sounded like the previous one. I get why it is on the list because of when it came out and the role that punk played, but I cant see myself listening to this one again. Looks like I have not missed much by not discovering more about the Ramones. Lets Dance is like a Grease song with a punk riff. In fact half the songs are like that. 3 stars

Fairly standard Punk album. I haven't done a lot of research on this one as I was pretty busy today, but this one kind of feels like it's pretty important and I don't know exactly why. The Ramones are a band I've heard of by name and can't pull a song of theirs unless you tell me one. I checked out their top songs on Spotify pre first listen and found, not on this album, "I Wanna Be Sedated", which is a banger, as well as "Blitzkrieg Bop", which is not only the opening track, but also probably the best, catchiest song on the album. Fairly certain that's another classic Rock Band game jam as well, always going to give bonus points for that. Truly a memorable, ear wormy song. As I started the album, I get to song 2, "Beat on the Brat", and I was surprised to find out that I knew that song as well. Get to track 3, "Judy Is a Punk", and it dawned on me that this was another one of those bands in which I can't name anything off the top of my head from, but then when you play any of the hits, I recognize them pretty quickly. Anyway, after song 3, I think the album just turns into about 25 minutes of the same repetitive song, over and over again. With an album that's 14 different songs with a play time of only 29 minutes and 14 seconds, you quickly get burned out when the album happens to be that short if they don't have much of a different sound from song to song, and unfortunately The Ramones, at least on this album, made 14 different versions of "Blitzkrieg Bop". Noted, it's a great song, and my first couple of listen throughs I was really digging it, but man, there's only so much of this I can take at one time. Maybe I should start opting for Deluxe Editions of albums every day if they start becoming a bit harder to listen to over time. The Deluxe Edition of this album is a staggering 78 songs and is over 2 hours and 45 minutes long. Definitely would not have been over this one as soon if I played that at some point during the day. Anyway, good songs, a bit repetitive, and nothing stood out to really wow me. Good album though, a solid 3 and a half stars on this one. It's my fault for listening to this on repeat, some albums I believe are meant to just be enjoyed one time only. This is one of those albums where you'll breeze through and not even realize it ended. That's probably enough for someone to give it a 4 or 5, but to me this was, again, pretty standard, but still good, Punk music.

Loved this stuff as a kid

strong first half and the second was just meh

Rick i love u but what did you seein this. This is what i’d listen to on the way to work if i was a balding 51 year old man recently divorced and a 9-5 i hate. Did they change the key at all throughout the whole album?? Still pretty iconic though so it deserves a 3

I felt like I just got into each song and then it ended - maybe would listen if I was a teen boy who wanted to be in a punk band in the 2000s … but I’m not so… I got into the vibes tho I do love good drums and a strong baseline and honestly didn’t hate it. Good motivation music but did get a it headachey and repetitive

Not horrific but not really something i like that much. Why is it so noisy. Theres a bit too much going on for me, or maybe i am just listening at a time where i feel overwhelmed and this album is accentuating it. I think i would enjoy it if i was feeling angry, but I generally tend to prefer music with a more lyrical quality to the singing. This feels like I am being shouted at by an ambush of twenty year olds who smoke all the time. Why does every song basically sound the same. Don't like this very much, happy its over.

I liked how they experimented with fuzz and distortion but found some of the songs repetitive and basic in terms of chord progression and structure.

Decent album, great first half but not a fan of the second half. Very iconic songs

When to listen: feel like fighting the m-a-n, get amped. I was really debating between 3 and 4 stars, the songs themselves itself are great but as an album it's a lot of the same without evolution.

3.5/5

6/10

Blitzkrieg Bop is a bop. I enjoyed the energy of the album and how fast paced it was, but the lyrics largely sucked. Repetitive because all the songs sounded similar (which was sort of fine cos it’s so short), but also repetitive because most songs were just repeating a handful of lines over and over. I know that it has had a big cultural impact and I can see what people like about it, but it wasn’t my thing. Fav song: Blitzkrieg Bop Least fav: Loudmouth

Couple of good songs from them, but the whole album is very repetitive, especially the bass line. Wouldn’t listen to it again

very repetitive and not really my thing 5/10

I liked thus well enough but it's all rather one-note. Each song just runs on into the next.

Repetitive but good. Knew not to let songs carry on longer than necessary.

Very influential record, but most of the songs aren't that exciting to me. Blitzkrieg Bop is fun. The rest is pretty samey tbh.

Super-exciting, makes-you-want-to-jump-and-down punk rock, the sheer *sound* of this record is exhilarating. It blasts out of the gate with three thrilling uptempo songs, and then slows it down a bit with "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend". From there, the rest of songs are reasonably good but don't have *quite* the same impact as the opening salvo.

super cool love the Ramones, but the 70s punk rock isn’t really my vibe the sound is too muddy

Great if you love Blitzkrieg Bop. I appreciated that all of the songs were short and uptempo. Did it get repetitive? Sure. Not my favorite, but I can appreciate what Ramones did for punk music.

Close your eyes bro. What do you see? Nothing? That's what this album would be without "Blitzkrieg Bop". Influential, no argument. Also stiff, dated, and mostly dull. The attitude mattered more than the songs. What once sounded dangerous now sounds flat and repetitive. Fun is supposed to be the point, but it barely gets there. Historically essential. Practically very boring. 7/10.

blitzkrieg bop is a classic but the rest sounded like the drafts that led to it

Its a great album, but like every song sounds the same……. or maybe i just dont like rock music

Blitzkrieg Bop. Classic song Beat on the Brat. Fun to listen to. Judy is a punk: Reference to Herman's Hermits.

It wasn‘t bad. Sounded repetitive sometimes.

Very repetitive sounds, it seemed like the lyrics were the same in all songs. The ramones are a great band but this album is not it

a bit repetitive but honestly not bad.

about the artist: - known as the “fathers of punk” - no songs about girls, more grunge (dark and antisocial) - they take inspiration from a variety of other artists while listening: - overall, an album with a very fun sound which contracts with darker lyrics

A lot of the tracks sounded very similar. Strong vocals. Really enjoyed the drums. Guitar was pretty power chord heavy.

Tony hawk pro skater 4? Felt like I was loving around in 2.5 speed to this album

Not their best

Parece um medley gigante Letras bué dificeis de compor (ironia) I mean… “Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue”? Certo… Até é vibes ouvir no metro ou a conduzir Se tocar B, G, F# posso acompanhar tudo

-as músicas soam todas iguais 😅, parece q tou a ouvir a mm musica durante meia hora -musicas bem pequenas, album pequeno no geral, meia horita ne -Conhecia a 1 música mas não sabia q era deles -Now i wanna sniff some glue? Ok? Akakaka -letras q até eu escrevia i mean a "now i wanna sniff some glue" tem 2 frases a musica toda akakak -enquanto ouvia a i wanna be your boyfriend percebi q a música toda é I IV V, e em algumas partes do I IV, e ta em Mi maior (descobri mo piano enquanto ouvia akakak) -nao fiquei mt fã pq soou me td mt parecido a nível timbrico e de ritmo e isso, no entanto percebo que o pa ya são os ramones e forem super importantes no punk rock

The album was pretty much the same throughout. I didn't hear a lot of differences in the songs, but they were all pretty short which made the album tolerable for me. Best song, "Let's Dance" as even though it was a cover, the group definitely put their own spin and sound to the song. Worst song, "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue".

Really thought I would rank this higher going into it, but wasn’t as impressed as I hoped. String start to the album and then they really started to lose me. Not too long, but also didn’t impress me anymore on the second listen.

Enjoyed first half - hadn’t heard for a long time

Nice classic optimistic feel. A little repetitive but it is an album so...

Going into this with HIGH hopes, blitzkrieg bop and I wanna be sedated are some of my favourite songs of all time ( don’t disappoint me Ramones) Blitzkrieg bop- 10/10 literally generational Beat on the Brat- 6/10 dunno kinda corny tbh? Judy is a punk- 7.5/10 low key a banger I wanna be your boyfriend- 6/10 not bad but also not anything special Chain saw- 7/10 not bad at all Now I wanna sniff some glue-6.5/10 eeeh? I don’t wanna go down to the basement- 6.5/10 also just eeh tbh Loudmouth- 6.5/10 also not bad Havana affair- 5/10, really ? Listen to my heart- 6.5/10 really getting repetitive now 53rd & 3rd- 5/10 Let’s dance- 7/10 I don’t wanna walk around with you- 6/10 Today your love, Tomorrow the world-7/10 the riff on this one is cool though. Album is the definition of mediocre, really nothing special (except for b bop of course) and I found the riffs really jus tended to be the same throughout all the songs, album felt soulless and empty. Really not for me, and it’s sad cuz I love the ramones

Individually, each song is great. Danceable, a vibe. As an album however, it's basically the same thing every single time. Title of song repeated twice, then alternating lyrics repeating over the same three chord progression. I swear that halfway through the album there are three straight songs with identical instrumentals. Oh well, still had fun with it. Favorite Track: I Don't Wanna Go Down to the Basement

todas as músicas são iguais. pelo meu gosto pessoal daria nota 2 mas o álbum deve ter sido diferente e impactante na época então vai 3.

Gosto de Ramones. É uma banda que respeito. Mas esse álbum foi realmente bem repetitivo. Melhor do álbum: "Blitzkrieg Bop". Pior do álbum: "Havana Affair". Feliz natal ;)

Pretty samey

In poco repetitivo

Probably a 3 from enjoyment but 4-5 for impact.

It's a punchy classic album. A great for boosting energy.

Fun album with energy. A lot of short songs and many sound basically identical. You could easily look up and have listened to 5 tracks without knowing it. Blitzkrieg Bop and Beat on the Brat are the real standouts on the album. I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend also.

I get that they're punk pioneers, but I just don't like most of these songs that much. Faves: Blitzkrieg Bop, Beat on the Brat

Astronomically influential and seminal for punk and so many genres to come - but for my specific set of ears, just doesn’t do a whole lot. Can’t say I didn’t have fun though. listened to on 63 bus

What happens when you mix a bunch of incompetent musicians with a cult like band? You get The Ramones, every white girl's favorite band since they all wear their merch. It is pretty funny that the reason all of The Ramones' songs are so painfully simple isn't because they are a punk band, but instead because they simply didn't know how to play the instruments at hand. This album by no means stands the test of time but it goes to show just how Punk worked back in the day, you could be the worst musician possible and still make a classic punk album. Call this album accidental genius all you want and honestly I don't think anyone with a clear mind will object that obviously true opinion, but I will say The Ramones do have some better material off of this album but it is very far and few between at times. Yeah it is still a classic but not as amazing as a lot of people make it out to be anymore.

As an apparent punk hater (which I wish I wasn't), I wasn't thrilled when this one came up. I'm relatively familiar with the Ramones, so I wasn't absolutely bummed out because I know they don't really embody the exaggerated punk sound that I hate. This album was totally fine to listen to. Would I go back to it again? Doubtful. Does that make it a bad album? Definitely not.

Cool album, not usually the type of music I like but cool nonetheless 7/10

All songs sounds same

very spiderman-esque album

wasn't too bad, just not my personal taste. i felt that a lot of the songs sounded the same.

Ramoans

Bangers!

Awesome I love Punmk Rock music .

Fun!

Loud, fast and fun, but I guess I like my punk a bit more abrasive

Ett av de få albumen då jag tar hänsyn till vilken påverkan albumet har haft för både musikvärlden och världen i allmänhet. Ett legendariskt startskott för punk-eran. Stor respekt för detta. Musikaliskt får albumet en trea då jag har svårt för sångarens röst.

enjoyed how it was not too long haha. punk isnt my favourite, but it was an ok listen. blitzkrieg pop is amazing tho.

An okay album, several songs sounded the same to me. I liked Blitzkrieg Bop the most.

all of these songs sound like blitzkrieg bop

Short, sweet, and uptempo is the vibe of the album. The longest track is a mere 2:40 in length, and it does not seem to be the most musically complex album. This simplicity, though, along with its generally fun tunes and driving instrumental section, make it a enjoyable punk rock album.

This is my second album so far and I can say that I don’t really listen to a lot of the Ramones but it was decent to me. It has some classics, my favorite was ‘I wanna be your boyfriend’ and again I didn’t have a least favorite. I will say it sounded like one really long song.

7.5 / 10

A couple bangers, but most of the songs sound identical and repetitive. Just listen to Blitzkreig Bop (though I bet you already have).

not really into punk, but this album had some nice tracks that I enjoyed listening too

A classic.

Standouts Blitzkrieg Bop Let's Dance

Nice guitars. not fussed on vocals. High energy and pretty enjoyable. 7/10

Fun - took me to music I liked like Gang of four..

Rock en pequeñas pildoras. Gran actitud. Musicalmente flojos, pero es de agradecer su existencia.

Love my punk and The Ramones are one of the originals and only a few American punk banks make the cut ,the DKs being the best of the bunch. This is fast pace and does what I says on the tin and was iconic at the time

I know this is prototypical punk, and they embody punk, and I do like punk, but I don't like these guys. It's important in that they laid down the most basic possible punk and is a starting point for more interesting (to me) bands.

Eh it's alright

Ok

Favorite track(s): Blitzkrieg Bop, I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend, Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue Heard before Previous rating: 7/10

and they complain that electronica is repetitive... highlights - blitzkrieg bop, i wanna be your boyfriend, now i wanna sniff some glue, 53rd & 3rd, today your love, tomorrow the world

3.5/5

pää tässä hyppii niskat kipeäksi. Ääni on vanhahko ja laatu on kärsinyt nykystandardeissa mutta tuo se jotain siihen. Tuotantoarvot... Oikein hauskaa meinikiä ei voi mitään.

Good listen, Blitzkrieg Bop is a classic but it feels like it never gets better than that

I've never listened to an entire Ramones album. I did have a punk phase in my early teens but never listened to a lot outside of those few years. My feelings going in are mostly lukewarm. The guy showing midriff on the album cover is entertaining. Track 1, Blitzkrieg Bop. I've heard this song hundreds of times. I never gave it a focused listen though. It's a decent song. I never noticed the backup vocals in the chorus, they're probably my favorite part of the song now. Track 2, Beat on the Brat. I have also heard this one many times. I'm sure it was super badass in 1978 but it's just ok to me now. Track 3, Judy is a Punk. Good song. More tambourine than I'm comfortable with though. Track 4, I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend. There's that tambourine again... Now that I've noticed it, I'm going to be hyper-aware of it for the remainder of the songs. Not a huge fan of this song for some reason. Track 5, Chain Saw. Track 6, Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue. I quite enjoyed the instrumental section after the first verse. Track 7, I Don't Wanna Go Down to the Basement. It's the same verse 3 times in a row. Maybe about child molestation. Track 8, Loudmouth. Pretty average stuff here. Track 9, Havana Affair. Starts off sounding pretty good. This is on the top of the heap for me so far. Track 10, Listen to My Heart. More like listen to my tambourine, amirite!?!!? Seriously though, this song isn't great. Track 11, 53rd & 3rd. Forgettable. Track 12, Let's Dance. Tambourine. Some organ near the very end that I liked. Just ok. Track 13, I Don't Wanna Walk Around With You. Fourth song using the word "wanna" in the title. Approximately 13 unique words in the whole song. Track 14, Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World. I like the verse section. I don't hate this album though I wish that it had just a little more depth. I completely realize that the Ramones aren't known for their well-constructed musical masterpieces and to look back at this record 47 years after its release and criticize it's depth amounts to stupidity. This was a catalyst record more than anything. How many current and past punk bands would cite the Ramones as an influence? I am guessing that it would be a lot. Sometimes it's good to go back to the roots of a genre and listen to the albums that influenced everyone that came afterwards. That being said, as I listen to it now, the overly simplistic songs with a dash of added British accent(not afraid to show their influences) don't completely hit for me but don't completely miss either.

On comprend l'influence que ça a pu avoir. C'est pas l'album du siècle en revanche.

They’re not as one-dimensional as I thought. But all they’ve got is a red guitar, three chords, and the truth.

There’s some bops (ha) on this one. Good for punk.

Good sound. Untextured. Raw. Obviously very influential to punk rock. 2.6 outta 5

Fun! I can absolutely see how this has inspired so much of punk and rock beyond it. In terms of listening to it right now, there's a handful of songs here and there I'd be glad to go back to (Blitzkrieg Bop, I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend, Now I Wanna Sniff, Lets Dance, Today Your Love) but even though each song is super short, 30 minutes of it all is too much in one listen. Maybe I really am getting old

Good but felt I was listening to the same song

Worthwhile listen but wasn’t over the moon with the album as a whole, couple decent songs in there, blitskreig is indeed a bop

Full of energy. Early punk counter to glam, prog, etc. so refreshing at the time. A bit same same though.

Some bangers, some not so much. “Hey little girl I want to be your boyfriend” 🤨 dunno about that

I like

This is a pretty good album, I would probably give it more like a 3.5 if I could.

Ramones have always been the „epic“ Punk band, I liked the least. Songs sound very samey and the overall sound feels pretty harmless. There were better band options imho. Fav: Let‘s dance

Doesn’t sound like they cared when they were making it, so why should I care about it when listening to it?

Possibly a low rating because what was a revolutionary sound when the album was released now sounds like the beginnings of a larger genre that's been improved upon.

- Had er meer van verwacht - 0 nummers toegevoegd aan MMMM - 1 nummer al toegevoegd aan MMMM

Iconic sound - very repetitive. Lots of energy. Favourites: Blitzkrieg Bop Havana Affair 53rd & 3rd

14 songs in under 30 minutes — Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue. That sums up the energy here: raw, fast, and unapologetic. I get why people love it and why it was so influential, but these days it just sounds like generic garage-band punk rock.

6 None of my favourite ramones songs bleh bleh

Ramones — дебютный студийный альбом группы Ramones, записанный в 1976 году и выпущенный в этом же году американским лейблом Sire Records. Будучи одним из самых первых и главных релизов в истории панк-рока, альбом оказал значительное влияние на впоследствии известные панк-рок-коллективы США и Британии. В 2012 году альбом Ramones попал в число 50 звукозаписей, выбранных библиотекой Конгресса США для помещения в фонд Национального реестра звукозаписей, в который попадают «культурно, исторически или эстетически важные» звукозаписи XX века. 1. Blitzkrieg Bop - бодренько. Хорошее открытие альбома. 2. Beat On The Brat - ээээ глубокомысленный текст. Нравится рок-гитарка. 3. Judy Is a Punk - о, мне сходу нравится инструментал! Очень панково. Забавно, что они решили написать песню о реальных фанатичных поклонниках. 4. I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend - не знаю, что выделить 5. Chain Saw - нравится! прикольная гармонизация на фоне. Звучит как санудтрек к какому-то подростковому фильму. 6. Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue - ...глубоко. Бас-гитара крутая! Хотелось, чтобы песня была подлиннее и было больше развития, а так кульно. 7. I Don't Wanna Go Down to the Basement - забавный смысл. Очень доставляет инструментал, барабаны круто дополняют. 8. Loudmouth - инструментал похож на предыдущую песню. 9. Havana Affair - не знаю, что выделить, но в целом, мне понравилось 10. Listen to My Heart - нравится. 11. 53rd & 3rd - слегка поинтереснее остальных треков. Зная предысторию, весьма жёсткое впечатление. 12. Let's Dance - качово. 13. I Don't Wanna Walk Around with You - тоже поинтереснее, классный инструментал, прикольный акцент на фразе. 14. Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World - не понимаю я конечно этих нацистских штучек в альбоме, но инструментал как всегда вытягивает. Наверное, следует помнить, что это один из первых панк-рок альбомов вообще, поэтому он слегка обыденный, не сказала бы, что он чем-то поражает. Довольно монотонное настроение на весь альбом. Но уважаю за вклад. К своему удивлению, большинство треков я всё же добавила. Мне не очень нравится стиль пения у солиста, а вот инструменталы прикольные. Что удивило, несмотря на то, что в альбоме 14 треков, он прослушивается всего за полчаса, потому что нет ни одной песни дольше трёх минут. Я-то думала, это только нынче тенденция такая, а они уже тогда просекли. В общем, на троечку, наверное? Неплохо.

Apparently I'm not a huge fan of The Ramones. I like their cohesive sound and their history, but did get bored throughout the album, potentially with so many shorter songs.

Energisk. Egentligt bedre, end jeg havde forventet. Nok en hjælp, at albummet er kort, men det er udmærket.

This album was a big deal to me once. Then I turned 15. 3 stars for the sense of nostalgia.

7/10

Had to remove a point for the excessivr ‘hey little girl’-ing but accept that ‘age appropriate adult woman’ doesn’t have the same ring.

Lots of energetic, fun tunes and snarling attitude that puts the “punk” in punk rock. It would be a 4 exc every song sounds the same. High, enjoyable 3.

Quite a interesting album, not really for me but for 70's I can see this will be a big deal 3/5

popravljaju raspoloženje i jesu vajb, ali imam osecaj kao da sam poslušala jednu DUUUUGAAAAČKU pesmu, a ne 14 kraćih

Very good

Ansi hröð og choppy lög.

oh dang this is a hard review. This album is objectively iconic. Pioneers in the punk scene. That said, this whole album lacks diversity. Each song sounds pretty much the same. I recognize this album influenced an entire genre, but I'm not sure we needed so many song doing the same thing.

I’d really give it a 3.5

Classic

3/5

A lot of energy with songs that generally have a good vibe. The production doesn't sound the greatest to me as instruments sound a bit muddy on plenty of songs creating a same-y vibe to a lot of songs that I suspect wouldn't be there live.

This is the first time I'm getting an album that has a song I actually know. I have a lot of feelings towards this album. I understand where it's coming from and how it was revolutionary in a way for its time, but I can't help but think this is music meant to be listened to live, as listening to it on my own makes it very underwhelming. The Ramones were more interested in being loud than in being interesting, it sounds like. Still, it's not a BAD album, but it's trying something and not quite achieving it.

Is Blitzkreig Bop a bop? Yes it is. Do the Ramones have an overly large place in music history? Also Yes. Does every song sound pretty much the same? Yes.

Sometimes, simplicity is good. The Romones are a straight forward, in your face, all gas no brakes type of band. The problem that comes with this, is all the songs sound the same. So honestly it’s an internal debate for me. But personal bias, I like the Ramones.

Difícil em. Muito repetitivo, mas tem algumas boas.

Great to listen to these purveyors of punk. However, it becomes to repetitive.

Catchy and fun

3.8

I know it's a classic but I feel too dumb for me. But I enjoy a few songs.

Yeah just make the same song 12 times and it'll fundamentally shape the punk genre. Good job.

3.7

same song 15 times. good thing its a decent one

Enjoyed it, to me a very simple punk sound with simple lyrics - I guess that's the appeal. Not really for me though.

I like covers of the Ramones better than Ramones.

Que albúm gostoso de se ouvir!!

Would be easy to give this album a 1 because of its repetitive nature. But it’s fun and it’s quick

Vibe but all the songs were kinda the same

it's impressive at the time, but not as much as now. basically you repeat the same sound and do it to 14 songs. the sound is very good but at time goes on it gets much boring and tiring at the same time. the lyrics are ok tho favs: bleigzkriet pop, judy is a punk least favs: 53rd and 3rd, i don't wanna walk around with you final rating: 6/10

I recognize what Ramones did for music. They're legends. But I can't listen to an entire album.

I was excited to jam this album as I have enjoyed the Blitzkrieg Bop in movies, commercials, and on the radio my entire life. The album as a whole felt one dimensional with little differentiating the songs. The Ramones had a distinctive sound, but I fear it was the only sound they could make.

"Blitzkrieg Bop"... So THAT'S what they're singing! Definitely a rocking tune. The music overall isn't my style but I love the guitar sound.

I didn't like this much when it came out but I've warmed up to it a bit over the years.

Pretty generic (uncreative) by todays standards but it was prob a bit better listen back then. But if you look at what else was out around then this is really mid with only a few songs that caught my ear.

Punk rock. Like the same song 10 times, but fortunately that song is 2 minutes 30 seconds and fun.

It all sounds the same to me.

A lot of fun catchy songs but outside of the hits this album is pretty repetitive and forgettable

Not really a punk fan, but i recognize the importance of this album and the Ramones.

It's cool and all but pretty repetitive

Short, simple hard driving songs.

3.0 - Ok

It was fine, but the album did not age well. sound too generic

Not as much of a bop as the blitzkrieg would have led me to believe.

Oi oi

Aways felt that this album never quite lived up to its iconic status

Punk epic.

Definitely need to take some drugs before listening to this next time

They have quite the interesting sound. It's reminiscent of many other artists but I can't quite place what they sound like. Very good and surprisingly unique.

Great but won't listen to every day

My coworker pretended not to know who this was to make me feel old.

Blitzkrieg Bop is an iconic song but on first listen the whole album kinda sounds like it over and over. Listening again and it grows on you and you can hear its influence on later bands. I heard things similar to Horsegirl, who are in turn heavily inspired by 90s bands so I assume that sound is one that has been passed down for a few generations with the Ramones playing a big role in its development.

Pretty fun; short. I liked Blitzkrieg Bop in particular.

They're the AC/DC of first wave punk. Fun up to a point.

Somehow this album made me nod and drum along whilst simultaneously wanting it to stop

Worse than I remember. Can barely hear the guitar om half the songs.

Thought this was going to be better. Hard to actually hear what was going on. But of a shame

I wanted everything, especially the guitars to be louder

Les 2 premières chansons sont entraînantes mais ensuite le rythme est toujours le même d’une pièce à l’autre et ça devient un peu fatiguant :(

Là on jase… pour les deux premières tounes. Après, c’est trop tout le temps la même chose. 3/5

This is a good album, but not great enough to bring me back for repeated listens. It's incredibly repetitive, but I guess that's kind of the point. It was super influential, so many bands and artists that came after were obviously inspired by them. For me though, they're more of a Greatest Hits band than an Album band.

3/5

Day 55 First listen- Iconic and the riffs and the songs are so catchy! (3.5/5)

Some bangers (Blitzkrieg Bop, Beat on the Brat, Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World), a dagger to the ear (53rd & 3rd), and the rest blend together into a solid punk medley. Classic punk sounds wrapped up in ~29 minutes.

All of the songs sound exactly the same

Expected to get a little more out of this one but I was underwhelmed. It's got a lot of similar-sounding songs that run together and something about the sound didn't click for me. "Blitzkrieg Bop" ended up being the best track (not surprising).

Didn’t do much for me, though I did enjoy it much more than the other punk-esque projects I’ve listened to so far. Can definitely see how they were very influential in music during their time.

decent

Trzy akordy darcie mordy

Most of the songs are under two minutes, and the whole album is less than half an hour. It doesn’t stop on each track—it just rushes by like a whirlwind, fast and exciting. Simple and pure punk.

I'm sure it was influential at the time, but now it just sounds like fairly generic old punk

Super!

A worthwhile listen given it’s a classic, era defining album. I was familiar with several of the songs but they all start to sound the same about halfway through the album.

Hugely influential for its time and stacked with the best songs The Ramones ever did. Not a great album to listen to as an album as all the songs kind of blend into one long power chord rhythm. Still a lot of fun though.

Repeat listen

Raw. Punk rock not really my think I don’t think.

6/10 they have better songs in my opinion

Blitzkrieg znałam i lubię, natomiast reszta piosenek o ile również w fajnym klimacie to po prostu brzmi jak jedno i to samo. Generalnie ok ale do całego albumu nie wrócę. Wrócę natomiast do tej pierwszej piosenki, fajnie sobie ja przypomnieć.

Generally boring and not something I would choose to listen to, but undeniable how impactful this album and sound were for punk to come. The song structures and progressions remind me a lot of early/basic rock and roll, but the guitar tones and vocals are more aggressive.

précurseur et dynamique.

I've listened to the Ramones on and off before, but I've never listened to their debut all the way through. The tracks are energetic and make me want to move, but I found them sounding a little too similar. But enjoyable none the less.

Extremely cohesive - sounds like it could've been recorded in one session then chopped up - although quite samey and repetitive.

bem bao

Started strong - have always like Blitzkrieg Bop - but the guitar riffs felt redundant by like song five

An obvious blueprint for so many bands. But it's a little stale in its execution and variety.

-been getting so many good punk albums lately! this is a classic and i’m glad i got to listen to it -it was pretty good, not my absolute favorite i’ve heard of the genre but i can understand the impact a band like this had back in the day -Favorites are Blitzkrieg Bop, I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend, and Let’s Dance

Ramones, YES! Great Album? Not really. Great songs though.

First instinct - noisy, quick, and unclean. But on second listen, it’s better! Songs more distinct. I appreciate it and blitzkrieg bop is in fact a bop. Buuut not particularly impressed.

3 Stars (8/15)

Fun good old old school punk nothing to exciteing but enjoyable highlights: beat on brat, Judy is a punk, blitzkriek bop

It sounds like The Ramones. It just drones on, but it’s ok.

I loved the catchiness and the energy, but it started to sound samey pretty quick.

Oye-ght

- pas mal de tounes qui se ressemblent - à réécouter

3.5 One of those where I have to average the legacy (4.5) and the actual music (2.5). On the former, founding punk, can hear elements of this in every single punk album thats come since. Groundbreaking. On the latter, every song blends into one, it sounds way too 'polished' for a punk record, drums are too clean, although that might be wall of sound limitations on old recordings. Lyrics are terrible, but to be fair that's true for a lot of punk artists that I like. It's interesting to see where a genre finds it's footsteps, but it doesn't always hit the mark.

Disgusting voices

An important album, but not my favorite to listen to. Blitzkrieg Bop is a classic, but the rest is a bit tedious to get through.

3.5 Fun. Probably monumental for its time. Certainly the cover looks modern it's used so much. But gets pretty repetitive there. I like let's dance.

this probably went hard in 1976

Some strong pros and cons here. I appreciate the far-reaching influence and ingenuity of this album, but I don't think it's particularly good, itself. It is short, though - so, I'll give it an extra point for not taking up too much of my time. Plus, without this, we wouldn't have Rob Zombie's version of 'Blitzkrieg Bop'; and that track turned up to 11 has gotten me through many a day in corporate America - so, that's worth another point.

The same song 14 times. It was short though. Probably because they ran out of ideas.
