Coming once again back to this legendary punk band my distaste for this band was always present and once again on this disc as well i have problems with it. It's basically the same as their debut and even has two half assed pointless covers on it. Beside that, the record improved over the debut, because of a bigger budget, different subjects and having a so bad it's good kind of approach to this album made me like it and i had a good laugh wit it aswell. Musically i was never a fan of this band, but it's probably save to say that the band peaked here.

The album spawned some classic Ramones Songs, like

Rockaway Beach

Sheena Is A Punk Rocker

Teenage Lobotomy

Why Is It Always This Way

and more


Rolling Stone ranked it number 106 on their 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time List and is seen by people to be one of the best albums of all time.



My rating for this album is a: 7.00/10
