Reviews Customer Reviews for Ramones      ROCK AND ROLL ANGELS!!!      Rating:      This first RAMONES album had an enormous impact on the music industry. The raw power and simplicity of these high energy songs brought back the rock and roll of the 50's. I do not consider this punk music at all. To me it is just simple rock and roll. Another reason why it is so unique is that it inspired many people to pick up a guitar and play! They reasurred people that you could create something unique just by strumming chords. You didn't need to be a Jimi Hendrix. Every song might sound the same, but that is they brilliance of it. Sometimes I think this album was sent from heaven to save rock and roll. Other albums that I own that sound like this are: Sloopjohnd , Kerplunk and The Clash (U.S. Version)     Customer Reviews for Ramones Cd      Great noise..      Rating:      One problem with remixing and re mastering is that it takes out all the crappy technical flaws that made albums like this so damn good. "Ramones" wasn't Abbey Road or Dark side of the Moon. No way. It was.....Ramones. Bad and nasty. Loud and awful but fun as it gets.. 3 minute cuts that tore like a bat out of hell through your speakers leaving you sweating, picking your nose, chugging bad liqueur and throwing up. Just the way they wanted it. This is one of those "can't go wrong" albums all these years later. You'll never play it just once for nostalgia sake. It will go into your regular stack to play and play again. There was never another Ramones. Listen to this album and a couple of their later ones and you'll remember why..Not just noise. Great noise. The original tough boys. Editorial Reviews for Ramones Audio Cd      Amazon.com      The Ramones' April 1976 debut, recorded for little more than $6,000, 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
