later ramones albums are so underrated!
i saw the music video for poison heart on youtube, but other than that, the album was a mystery. prior to buying this album, i had heard almost nothing off of it. to me, it is like a combination of brain drain and pleasant dreams. it works greatly, although it isnt as good as either of them, it is still damn fine in its own right.

as for this edition, i think the captain oi re-issue versions of brain drain, mondo bizarro, acid eaters, and adios amigos are the best editions we are going to be seeing for a while. it would be nice if rhno re-issued these(along with animal boy and halfway to sanity) somewhere along the line in much the same way that the first 8 were done. that would be. . well. . mondo!.


Mondo Superbo
The Ramones' long time relationship with Sire had ended and they entered the studio with a new label and a strong sense of purpose. Three albums had passed since the last great Ramones album, and even the faithful were getting worried. The result was a return to form, and set the band back on course for a resurgence. Starting with the anti-PMRC (remember them?) rant "Censors#!t", they crash through 13 very Ramonesy songs in a style that would almost be retro if they hadn't had invented it in the first place.

Also worth a chuckle is the disc's closer, "Touring. " Ripping off their own "Rock And Roll High School," Joey sends up the whole road show of rock with a wink and a power chord. It ends the disc on a note as giddy as the opener was politically snarling. "Mondo Bizaro" was The Ramones we had grown up loving, comfortable with their legacy and ready to take control of it once again.

One of My Favorites!
This is just one solid Ramones album that celebrates their more mature, Harder Rock sound if you will. . It just rocks from start to finish and it's an absolute must for anyone who calls themselves a fan!.


Ramones - 'Mondo Bizarro' (Radioactive)
Pretty decent for a band's later day effort. Ah!The 12th actual Ramones studio offering. I've never been all THAT huge of a Ramones fan,but I do find them to be a real fun band to say the least. Some of the better cuts include "Cabbies On Crack","The Job That Ate My Brain","I Won't Let It Happen","Poison Heart" and "Heidi Is A Headcase"(aren't most women?). New bassist C. J. fits into this long-running classic punk ensemble very well. Also wanted to mention their cover of the Door's "Take It As It Comes" isn't bad. So many bands out there that it's JUST occured to me that three of these guys have now passed on,Joey,Dee Dee and Johnny. I don't believe I can recall a band that's had three original members dying within a three years time span. Still a great disc to have.


What, is this out of print?
Jay shows he can sing just like his big daddy, Dee Dee. This was a decent Ramones album as far as that goes, but $18 buck? WOW!

If you fork out the dough, listen to "Poison Heart", "Main Man" (where C. . . . duh!), "Strength to Endure" (hey, is C. Jay just an avatar of Dee Dee minus the really cool drug addiction and insane behavior?), the well done cover of the Door's "Take it As It Comes", and "Touring". All the songs are decent, and Stasium was back at the controls as a producer,so the guitar sounds great!

But my GOD! $18 bucks? C'mon man, this is a RAMONES album, right?.
