Ramones second album a triumph
How this group didn't catch on simply amazes me but that's for another rant. The Ramones second album is a wonderful 15 track collection of some of the loudest, fastest & funniest music ever made.

From "Glad to See You" Go to "Babysitter" I highly recommend this album to all Ramones fans and if you haven't heard this album yet I almost envy you because when you do, you'll know what the big deal is all about.


Almost as good
Better production, but the songs are a little samey. Almost as good as "Ramones". For anyone getting into the Ramones, the first four albums are all essential, then get "Too Tough To Die" and you're set.

As a hard core Ramones fan from the beginning a note should be made that the live material is NOT from the Roxy in 1976. I was there. They did not do "Chain Saw" and "Glad to See You Go" hadn't even been written.


This is a complete headbanger!
If you are new to The Ramones, I suggest that you get this album. This is the best album by the Ramones, PERIOD! Sure, the first one (Ramones) was great, Rocket to Russia was excellent, but Leave Home is the best of the bunch. It also includes a live recording, when they played at the Roxy, in California. This is awesome and I urge you, if you don't have it, to get it now. .


better than the debut and Rocket
This has always been my favorite Ramones album. That's my opinion, anyway. A lot of people prefer the 1st one or Rocket To Russia. I love them all but there's something about this one that really grabbed me. Johnny Ramone's guitar sound is so great on this one. Every song is a killer and it's great to have Carbona back in its rightful place. That song was impossible to find during the 80's and 90's.

Check out Mighty High. . . In Drug City if you like glue, lobotomies, pills, etc. .


"Get the glory, like Charles Manson!"
Leave Home sees the group refining their obsession with distorted sledgehammer power chords, American trash culture, and chewed-up bubblegum pop. After carving out the constitution of 70s punk rock with their self titled debut, the Ramones went on to crunchier, more hook-filled pastures with this, their sophomore release. These songs are fun, exuberant, hilarious, trashy, furious, and in their own bizarre way, poignant, with infectious melodies twirling their way around face-smashing guitars and gutter-rat harmonies. Like its predecessor (and its follow up, Rocket To Russia), Leave Home plays like a greatest hits collection: That opening salvo, with the vicious joy of "Glad To See You Go" followed by the gonzo therapy rock of "Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment" followed by the gloriously hook-filled "I Remember You" followed by the heroically moronic romance of "Oh Oh I Love Her So" followed by the snarky drug anthem "Carbona Not Glue" followed by the roaringly catchy "Suzy Is A Headbanger" followed by the bozo anthem "Pinhead" followed by the tongue-in-cheek bounce of "Now I Wanna Be A Good Boy" followed by greaser pop of "Swallow My Pride" follow- look, the whole album is great, okay? Just get it!.
