Title: Poor Selection of Songs...
Product review: I always believed you could take any catchy tune and make it sound 'punk' by singing it really really fast over a loud distorted guitar. Unfortunately the Ramones test this premise on 'Acid Eaters' with mixed results. This is a Ramones cover album of 1960s tunes. Some songs like 'Substitute' work very well, and others -- like Bob Dylan's 'My Back Pages' simply don't fit the fast and loud transition. The Ramones have always chosen their covers well (Their version of 'Needles and Pins' may be the definitive one), but the selection of songs here is a let-down. If you could choose only one Stones song for the Ramones to cover, would you have chosen 'Out of Time'..? Proceed with caution.
