Our Take

Ah, Rocket To Russia, the album that truly solidified the Ramones as the kings of punk. This remastered version takes us back to the golden age of punk rock, where leather jackets and ripped jeans were the norm, and mosh pits were a way of life.

From the moment you press play, you're hit with a wave of raw energy that never lets up. The guitars are fast and furious, the vocals are snarling and sneering, and the drums are pounding away like a freight train. It's a relentless assault on the senses, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Songs like "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker" and "Teenage Lobotomy" are instant classics, with their catchy hooks and rebellious attitude. But it's tracks like "I Don't Care" and "Cretin Hop" that really showcase the Ramones' ability to marry melody with mayhem.

The production on this remastered version is top-notch, bringing out the nuances in the band's performance without sacrificing any of their trademark grit. Every snarl, every snare hit, every distorted guitar riff is crystal clear and in your face. It's like hearing the Ramones for the first time all over again.

Rocket To Russia is a timeless classic that still packs a punch after all these years. So strap yourself in, turn up the volume, and let the Ramones take you on a wild ride through the heyday of punk rock. Trust us, you won't regret it.

About the artist

Ramones

The Ramones: The Original Punk Pioneers Formed in 1974 in Queens, New York, The Ramones are often credited as the godfathers of punk rock. With their signature fast, loud, and no-frills approach to music, this band brought a raw energy to the music scene that has inspired countless musicians and fans alike. Comprised of Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee, and Tommy Ramone, the band started out playing small clubs in the downtown New York scene, quickly gaining a cult following with their catchy yet simplistic anthems. With songs like "Blitzkrieg Bop" and "I Wanna Be Sedated", The Ramones crafted a sound that was equal parts rebellious and infectious. Their self-titled debut album, released in 1976, is often cited as one of the greatest rock albums of all time, with its relentless pace and anthemic choruses capturing the hearts of listeners worldwide. With a career spanning over two decades, The Ramones released a total of 14 studio albums, leaving a lasting legacy that continues to influence punk and alternative music to this day. Despite their immense influence and critical acclaim, The Ramones never achieved mainstream commercial success during their career. But their impact on the music industry is immeasurable, with their distinct sound and DIY ethos paving the way for countless bands to follow in their footsteps. Even though the original members have all passed away, The Ramones' music lives on, with their timeless songs serving as a reminder of the power of pure, unadulterated rock and roll. So if you're looking to dive into the roots of punk rock, look no further than The Ramones - the band that started it all. Hey ho, let's go!
