Ramones (Dlx) Specifications
The Ramones' April 1976 debut, recorded for little more than ,000, long ago passed into legend. Its exalted status as the inspiration for thousands of punk bands worldwide, though, hasn't overshadowed its monolithic roar, the knowing hilarity of its lyrics ("Judy Is a Punk" crams the SLA, the Ice Capades, and a salute to Herman's Hermits into a 90-second frame), and the impulse to blast it for everyone within earshot: Hey, listen to this. Embracing and rewriting rock & roll history at once, Ramones speeded up heavy music, adding a pop patina to songs inspired by horror movies and glue sniffing, and claiming a great Chris Montez tune ("Let's Dance") from the supposedly fallow period that had fallen between Elvis and the Beatles. Absurdist, yeah (how could anything with Joey's super-affected Liverpool-via-Queens accent be otherwise?) and also smart: "Havana Affair" is the greatest song about the cold war this side of Dylan. This remastered edition complements the original LP with a slew of demos, including a Spectoresque "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend," and the single version of "Blitzkrieg Bop," that, equally prophetically, puts Joey's vocal through a mixing trick that makes him sound like he's on the mic at a football game. --Rickey Wright
Customer Reviews
This seems to give the album as the first true punk album to be nominated. I do not want to go to punk started in this post, since that does not really have enough activity that tested as "proto-punk" get. In any case, the Ramones have what I have read, have a great influence in Britain, where many of which would be the first wave of British punk have been, came to see and be with them. This is the end of the triangle-based British punk I said in my head. The last page of thisTriangle in Australian punk band The Saints and Radio Birdman, who did not have first-hand contacts with the Ramones or the British scene can not really say was influenced by the side of the Ramones' or part of the British punk scene. In fact, before this Australian action "released most if not all emissions in the United Kingdom from this part of the world.
After following my comments on this album by a 2 to 1 release of "Ramones / Rocket to Russia", to say that I haveto see the Ramones, the characters are distinctive guitar sound and lyrical themes with punk's the American way "punk" is (to be so off the British sense of universal, with bands like the Sex Pistols came). But compared to the approach to the guitar Saints 'say more promising debut from the sound "(I'm) Stranded" I would be better served by The Ramones The saints' in the mix. With the Saints, their sound is clean, clear, abrasive and in the foreground.With The Ramones, unfortunately, sounds like Mrs. Ramone was in the mixing booth and the sound of punk guitar looked like a little 'strong' was or something. If this is a faithful reproduction of the original sound of their albums, I must say, it would be good to have a new Remaster where the guitar in the foreground and are abrasive.
In addition to bringing the Ramones approach to their pop-punk rhythm. Address their problems and concerns of the song in the United States'Punk' ... to take snapshots of the squalid side of their city and their passion for the drugs. Not one of those lazy philosophy that the Sex Pistols on the table and mark the punk movement ... a purchase, bands like the Ramones and the Saints may be excluded from the new punk scene mainstream would bring.
Ok, the songs I like this album ... this is my first Ramones album ... a little 'back, I checked their 3CD anthology, which I liked. Without goingmy review of this here, I'm guessing that if I went through all the songs in this review because at the time did not need so much. Well, I seem to find some of these attractive, I think.
Best Songs:
I want to be your friend - very sweet 50's song ... may have had that kind of mood you get from women's groups. A guitar sounds pretty, while the other is the traditional punk sound. If you like Blondie's "beautiful" in the flesh ", the songshould appeal equally. Or maybe The La's "There She Goes" is another point of comparison for this song. In any case, the guitar solo in this song is beautiful and the Ramones provide other choirs. It 'hard to believe that any mother would not have pushed her daughter in the direction of Joey after listening to him here at its best! The demo version by the end of support cd longer has to sing.
53rd & 3rd - has a catchy and seems to have a veteran of the Vietnam War, is a failureProstitute!
For the best songs:
Blitzkrieg Bop - a song that grew on me to listen to the second. It has a classical-guitar sound is catchy and has some nice beats and bass remarkable. The Clash pays "I fought the law" to return chant melody spirit.
Down On My Knees - 50's style rock and roll, bass-heavy, with nice choruses and clapping hands (actually I think my 2 for 1 song title wrong ... "Down On My Knees" sounded suspiciously similar to"Judy is a Punk" ... so, I wonder if my CD with the track listing errors resale value is?). The demo version of "Judy is a Punk" is not a very good sound quality but end up with a piano.
Let's dance - another '50s-style rock and roll song with which artists such as Cliff Richard in England and Australia in spirit Johnny O'Keefe. I compilation of these two works reviewed here ... recommended. This song has an organ or keyboard and drum fills often cold.
The rest:
Beat On The Brat - it has some heavy metal-ish guitar sounds fuzzy. The End Of The Century, The Ramones name drops of Blue Cheer, which can be a source for this serious approach to music.
Chainsaw - I think this is the second song on this album, which features Joey put on the dog, so to speak (which is trying to type an English accent when you sing, sometimes). A final example of this case with "I do not care" towards the end of the album). L 'intro has the classic punk guitar sound ... Angle wants to work on metal. My notes indicate that I found this song to kind of function, as the theme for the film The Texas Chainsaw Massacre ... a score for a horror movie, in other words.
Now I want to sniff some 'glue - bass-heavy, presented the classic sound of punk guitar, lead guitar solos. I wonder if the title of a required payment of a song title of the Stooges'.
I will not go into the basement - a song with good bass lines.Here the bass guitar as a quasi-guitar solo, I think. It has the classic punk guitar sound, but again it is a pity that all this goodness down the road in the mixture, is enigmatic. The next track, "Big Foot" sounds kind of like this track even the low rate and elsewhere.
Havana Affair - is from this point of low sound samey, but the amplifier on pieces of guitar fuzz are beautiful ... In other words, sometimes you feel in this song, as it shouldsound when the guitar was in the foreground.
Listening to my own - seems to play bass riff like punk, but not the notes, chords. It seems to be a song of lost love.
I do not want to go with you - fresh, driving, funky bass ... really put on. It reminded me of Red Hot Chili Peppers. He choirs.
Today your love - words are difficult to understand, as usual. The songs are discussed below part of the bonus tracks on this CD offers ...
IDo not Care - a good way if you like the bottom ... I am reminded of the classic "Little Green Bag" or, say, The White Stripes "7 Nation Army." Traction is the other track, where Joey tried an English accent, but it is difficult to understand, with irony.
I can not - track the Embassy, with a little amped up guitar, grunge sound ... has a classic punk riffs sound ... I wonder if you draw on the cliff of "Chinese Rock", after the Ramones record, and wasRamones recorded from the beginning of his career with another band (The Heart Breakers, is the memory).
Now I want to sniff some 'glue - heavily distorted guitar with a bit of outstanding guitar soloist. Bass has some songs that remind me of "7 Nation Army."
I do not want to learn / I do not want to be tamed - a bass-heavy fuzz rock song.
You should never open the door are low - interesting, I think, and it sounds similar to a needle jumps to a vinyl record.It has a classical structure punk opera, with regard to the chorus. The texts are thematically Horror ... threatening, in other words.
Blitzkrieg Bop - The kind of sound mono intro to this song.
As a result, it is a solid punk album. It has excellent sound quality, especially coming as the sound of the bass guitar and vocals (first floor in the mix). It 's a shame that the sound of punk guitar is changed briefly in this album. He wanted to have more than one board, which, asget with debut album The Saints', which precedes any album by a British punk rock group, I think. I would be the original album 8 / 10, but also the bonus tracks, I'd give this CD to 85-90/100.
Recommendations:
The Saints: (I'm) Stranded - for me this album the songs that seem to anticipate the latest movements in music such as speed and thrash etc. is more than one listening, however, have received. I have a higher rate album, The Ramones' debut, but it took me more than, Listening to come to this point of view.
Radio Birdman: Radio show - get described as "proto-punk", but this Australian band released their debut the same year as the Saints. It has a variety of sound ... of "Oi!" Art Punk, punk speeds based on easy-listening jazz. I felt Television Marquee Moon, who do not consider myself punk, although it is classified as such. If television were Punk, Radio Birdman might be what you would play. If you want toRadio Birdman's jazz, easy listening songs, listen to Marquee Moon, although I did not have to reward a lot of them.
The Damned: Damned Damned Damned - the first English punk band, an album ... a fact that has brought my attention to the latest issue of "Classic Rock" magazine, by Joey Ramone, in an interview that was later published version, even if carried out year (the interview is in the "alternative history of Heavy Metal "issue by someMonths back. Joey takes full credit for each of the first wave punk band to come ... I will not accept an application, at least for the Australian punk scene).
