Reviews Customer Reviews for Leave Home      This is a complete headbanger!      Rating:      This is the best album by the Ramones, PERIOD! Sure, the first one (Ramones) was great, Rocket to Russia was excellent, but Leave Home is the best of the bunch. If you are new to The Ramones, I suggest that you get this album. It also includes a live recording, when they played at the Roxy, in California. This is awesome and I urge you, if you don't have it, to get it now.     Customer Reviews for Leave Home Cd      better than the debut and Rocket      Rating:      That's my opinion, anyway. This has always been my favorite Ramones album. A lot of people prefer the 1st one or Rocket To Russia. I love them all but there's something about this one that really grabbed me. Johnny Ramone's guitar sound is so great on this one. Every song is a killer and it's great to have Carbona back in its rightful place. That song was impossible to find during the 80's and 90's. Check out Mighty High...In Drug City if you like glue, lobotomies, pills, etc. Editorial Reviews for Leave Home Audio Cd      Amazon.com      Slightly less primitive than the Ramones' debut, Leave Home is somehow more melodic, poppier, and heavier than its predecessor. "Glad to See You Go" name-drops "the passion" of Charles Manson, while the terrific "Commando" ("First rule is the laws of Germany / Second rule is be nice to mommy") brings to mind a funnier MC5. But "Oh, Oh, I Love Her So" is pure classic pop--metallic bubblegum and their first foray into the Beach Boys-inspired harmonies that would be used to greater effect on Rocket to Russia. The "bruddahs" even do a speeded-up version of "California Sun" to drive the point home. "Pinhead" gave birth to the "Gabba! Gabba! Hey!" rallying cry. This splendid remastered reissue includes the original artwork, superior sound, and excellent liner notes by heavy-metal Ph.D. Dr. Donna Gaines. Also included is the band's August 1976 L.A. debut show at the Roxy Theater. Leave Home is the album that clued in a lot of people that this band was more than a novelty. --Bill Holdship
