Free Music Notes for Rocket to Russia
Free Music Review: Punk Pop Perfection
Hit: 5 Stars
"Ramones" (1976) and "Leave Home" (1977) were the birth of punk, but their third album "Rocket To Russia" signaled further growth. They incorporated more pop and melody into their fast and furious sound in an attempt to be accessible. It worked. "Sheena Is A Punk Rocker" and "Rockaway Beach" were the closest they ever came to having hit singles.
The fact that it includes such famous tracks as "Cretin Hop", "We're A Happy Family", "Teenage Lobotomy", and "Ramona" only sweetens the pot. Well-chosen covers "Do You Wanna Dance?" and "Surfin' Bird" really seal the deal. Great bonus tracks? Yep, plenty of 'em. This CD is a must-have.
I love all 14 Ramones studio albums, but favor the first 7 (up to and including 1983's "Subterranean Jungle"). After that they took on a metal edge. Still great, but different. Hugely influential, always humorous, engaging as all-get-out - the Ramones are a band for the ages. Don't miss them!

"Our records have the bitterness of life in them," quoth Dee Dee Ramone, and Rocket to Russia brought the pain. Despite carrying on the celebratory tone of the Ramones' debut and Leave Home in the likes of "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker," "Cretin Hop," a tribute to dirty "Rockaway Beach," and covers of the Trashmen and "Do You Wanna Dance?" their third LP displays a dark humor that's less jokey than the previous releases' goofs on bad mental health and dysfunctional relationships. The group's best-produced of its first three releases, Rocket achieves an almost smooth texture thanks to a clean mix and increased use of Beach Boys-inspired vocal harmonies. Still, the joyous grind of Johnny's guitar is front and center for much of this enduring album. Rhino's refurbished version offers five bonus tracks, including a rough early version of "It's a Long Way Back to Germany" and a demo, "Slug," which imagines (?) a world crawling with insects. --Rickey Wright
