Not a bad album, but it's not hard to understand why it's considered one of their worst.

This is complete crap. The Ramones were the best when they made simple, 3 or 4 chord melody-tinged punk tunes with those really dark and somewhat edgy lyrics that completely undercut what was being played. It was just fucking phemonenal music but I don't know, maybe they decided to make shit music for a laugh or some shit on this one haha.

Very underrated.. I love that Behemoth has covered "I'm Not Jesus." For the most part people over look this one or consider it the album that has "I Wanna Live" or "Garden of Serenity." Too bad it was Richie Ramone's last album with the band, he was probably their best drummer to date and an actual not bad song writer on top of that.

Well put. The Richie Era was a strong one for the band, and yes, he was a fantastic drummer and a good songwriter. I personally think this is a really good album; at worst, some of these songs are a bit by the numbers and don't smack of a ton of effort, but most of them are very well written and performed with toughness and energy and the record is a quick, enjoyable listen. "I Wanna Live," "Garden of Serenity" (probably the best song here, and a definite highlight of the latter half of their career), "I'm Not Jesus," "Bop 'Til You Drop," "I Lost My Mind"... all great. So yeah, it doesn't break any new ground or really push any boundaries, but if what you're after is an album full of energetic, tightly played, tough sounding, catchy Punk Rock with a somewhat Metallic edge, this is a great purchase.
