Free Music Notes for Ramones (Dlx)
Free Music Review: A Breath of Fresh Air
Hit: 5 Stars
The Ramones -- just like the Sex Pistols and the Clash -- have made a huge impact on the punk rock scene, being a major influence on tons of bands since they began. They stripped typical rock n roll to the bare basics, focusing on three power chords and powerful guitar notes with catchy poppy vocals. Joey Ramone made a name for himself with his simple, yet mindlessly funny vocals about beating on brats with baseball bats, sniffing glue and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. They were nothing the rock music world had seen in 1976.
Although being a punk rock band these New York outcasts were influenced by all types of music, not just punk. They took the influences of surf music, '60's girl groups and pop, blended it together, speeding it up, creating something new and refreshing. They start with a simple "hey ho, let's go" chant and blast right on through the album. They were a breath of fresh air and added a new life to the music scene.
Free Music Review: The First and Best
Hit: 5 Stars
The 1976 first Ramones album is my favorite punk album, and the Rhino Remasters are great. The album starts with Blitzkrieg Bop, the most exploited song. If this is all you know by the Ramones, you might also like songs such as Loudmouth and Beat on the Brat. The Ramones made songs about things they really felt. They didn't get too trendy or faked anything. Their honesty and humbleness were great additions to the speed and high volume heard in the intense songs. My favorite songs are Havana Affair, which is an honest political satire song, and Chainsaw, an example of their enthusiasm for horror movies. Many fans of punk rock acknowledge the ramones without really getting into their albums. I believe that many people ignore the ramones because they stayed away from following punk scenes and stuck with their simple formula up until the final concert in 1996. I highly recommend the first album from one of the toughest bands, The Ramones.Free Music Review: One of the greatest albums of all time. Bad remastering
Hit: 5 Stars
This is one of the greatest albums of all time. Every song here is absolutely amazing, everything's just PERFECT! The only thing that bother me, is the remastering. I have both the original version (without remastering) and this version (remastered), and I'm telling you that the original version is way better.
Unfortunately, it's almost impossible to find it these days, so buy this CD, you can still hear the brilliance of it through the remastering. You won't be able to get it out of your mind, you won't be able to get it out of your stereo.
It's the album that will blow your brain and will knock you to the floor. It's a brilliant gem. The sound of the guitar is just.. DAMN!!! Genius.
If sometime you'll see the version without the remasteing, buy it. Maybe you'll be able to get it 2nd hand from amazon here.
Free Music Review: A true piece of Americana
Hit: 5 Stars
If the United States were to bury a time capsule, the music representative should be this record. Not only is it great to listen to on an induvidual basis, but it's importance to popular music today is incredible. Johnny's roaring guitar fuzz, Dee's Dee's heart stomping bass, and Tommy's pulsating drumming capped off by Joey's vocals kickstarted an entire new musical genre. At a time when popular music was dominated by bands like Led Zeppelin and Rush playing eight and nine minute songs with four minute pointless guitar solos, as well as that thing called disco, the Ramones took rock and roll back to what it was in the first place, a simple and fun song. That is what this album is, a collection of real rock and roll songs. These sound quite simply like Beatles-esque songs played very loud and very fast. This record is essential for any comprehensive collection.Free Music Review: Great noise..
Hit: 5 Stars
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.
