Free Music Review: NOTE TO ALL RAMONES FANS: BUY ALL OF THE NEW RE-ISSUES
Hit: 5 Stars
Normally I might be a little cynical about these re-issue CDs. I bought every Ramones record on vinyl when I was in high school. Then I later bought them on CD, and it wasn't all that long ago. Now they expect me to buy them AGAIN? Is this just a record lable/conglomerate trying to squeeze more money out of a band that never really achieved "financial success" for them? I don't know. What I do know is that these new re-releases are worth every damn penny I paid for them. Each booklet is packed to the gills with great photos and informative retrospectives on what was going on with the band around the time the album was recorded. Best of all, they include outtakes, demo versions, B sides etc. Casual fans should think twice before buying, but if you consider yourself a "Ramones fan" then you really need these re-issues.
Speicifically about Subterranean Jungle:
I think this is one of the Ramones' most underrated records. Their first three albums (Ramones, Leave Home, and Rocket to Russia) are clearly the most classic examples of the Ramones' sound. The fourth album, 1978's Road to Ruin, was the first time the Ramones went completely out of character, with the songs Needles & Pins and Questioningly. Not bad songs necessarily, but both were obvious attempts to soften their approach in order to get on the radio. The next album, 1980's End of the Century, was a full blown attempt at selling out. They hired Phil Spector who watered down the Ramones sound with an army of session musicians and bombastic over-production. Yet, there are still some excellent songs on the album. They then followed up with Pleasant Dreams in 1981, produced by Graham Gould of 10cc. Again, the songs are great, but they're totally castrated due to the very anemic production. Then in 1983, they recorded Subterranean Jungle.
Most fans seem to lump this album in with End of the Century and Pleasant Dreams, weak albums with producers who had no business producing the Ramones. Off the top of my head, I don't even remember who produced Subterranean Jungle. It does have an odd sound that's hard to describe. The snare drum sounds synthetic. The guitar has a weird timbre to it that I've never heard before or since. But the main issue is that the production isn't weak per se. The raw agression had returned after being totally absent on two entire albums. The Ramones actually sounded PUNK again. Most fans regard their next album, Too Tough To Die, as their "comeback" album. Granted, TTTD is indeed a stronger effort than Subterranean Jungle, but that doesn't mean Subterranean Jungle wasn't a strong effort in and of itself. To me, this was their comeback, their return to what they do best: grind out loud powerchords in the form of very catchy riffs.
