Negative Positive
Title: punk by numbers
Review: i love the ramones, but this lacks everything that made their first three albums so amazing. the humours gone and it sounds like a band playing by numbers, there is no flash of inspiration here. ive read that johnny saw being in the band as "a job" and this comes across on the album. no wonder dee dee couldnt wait to leave. this album lacks all the joy of their early work. the style is that of an unimaginative metal band made up of sessions musicians simply churning out another album for the sake of it. if you love rocket to russia, ramones and leave home, this album will bitterly dissapoint you.
