Free Music Notes for Road to Ruin
Free Music Review: Man I am slow...
Hit: 5 Stars
I consider myself a very educated person when it comes to modern music. I have the essentials of everything from early boogie-woogie, early jazz & blues, 60's pop, disco, new wave, metal, indie rock, etc. But I am just now (at 24 years old) discovering The Ramones. Don't ask me why it took me so long...but it did and I am so happy. They are becoming one of my favorite groups to listen to. If you like pop music in any form, you will like the Ramones. I consider them a fast-playing pop band more than anything. As another reviewer said, they really were "the Beach Boys of punk". This is tied with "Leave Home" as my favorite of their LP's. Essentially every album of material they released is worthy of your listening time except for their very last album, Adios Amigos!, which is just garbage. But it's still better than most bands on their best day of course. If u don't have it already, just get this record already.
Road to Ruin Poster
"They'll get better," said Keith Richards of punk musicians in 1977. "You can't help but get better." And Road to Ruin is the album that demonstrated the Ramones had gotten "better" at being musicians, if not at becoming stars. "I Just Want to Have Something to Do" is quite simply one of the greatest opening tracks on any rock album, ever. For the first time, Johnny actually throws in pyrotechnics that go beyond basic power chords. "I Don't Want You" is riff-driven punk rock, while "I Wanna Be Sedated" and "She's the One" are some of their best pop-punk. But Road to Ruin also breaks some stylistic barriers. "Don't Come Close" is almost country & western and "Questioningly" is a simple ballad. A cover of the Searchers' "Needles & Pins" is downright reverent, though it's sadder than the original. The superbly remastered Rhino reissue of what was arguably their last great album includes original artwork, liner notes by Punk! magazine's Legs McNeil, and the band's tracks from the Rock 'N' Roll High School soundtrack--meaning the title track as produced by Ed Stasium as opposed to Phil Spector. --Bill HoldshipAlternative Rock Music CDs
