i really can't see how their debut is better than this. this isn't perfect, but it's fascinating and works extremely well as a stripped-down punk album.

You can't go wrong with the first four Ramones albums (and several others, IMO, but I'll keep it simple for now since everyone with sense basically agrees on that), but I've never understood why this one is the absolute critical darling of the bunch. It's great of course, but it's the weakest (least best) of the bunch to me, which makes sense as it was dashed off and made up of leftovers and reworkings and so forth. The debut is the one that started the revolution, Leave Home is the one that made some technical and artistic refinements to become, Road to Ruin is the first one where they began to really change the sound up somewhat (adding a bit of a Heavy Metal quality to the proceedings), leaving this one as just sort of a holding pattern/stopgap before the slight change/growth of that one. Like I said, it's a GREAT album, but track for track I don't think it's up to snuff with the other three (or Too Tough to Die, for one later LP). Just my opinion. I still enjoy the hell out of it.

For me, it's simple. It has my 3 favorite Ramones tracks (Rockaway Beach/Sheena Is A Punk Rocker/I Don't Care). That tends to carry a lot of weight when I rank their first 4 albums. But like you said, those first 4 albums are top tier. :)

The punk is good when no song is over 3 minutes. The punk is fantastic when its Ramones though.

bought this in freshmen year of high school, and it was the first punk album (and band) I ever heard. Still one of my favorite punk albums, ever.

Their signature album for sure. I you want to introduce Ramones to creatures from outer space, this album is the one. Too bad the only concert I have seen them live was much after the release, so the emphasize was on their later works. Now hi ho, let's go surfin' on rockaway beach!

One of the best punk albums ever. Just fucking amazing. My first Ramones album. The art on the back of the booklet is freaking awesome too. :P
