(3 Customer Reviews)
After the resurgent TOO TOUGH TO DIE the Ramones topped themselves with the brilliantly goofy (or goofily brilliant) ANIMAL BOY. It's all here: the jungle stomp of "Apeman Hop," the chugging title track, the sweet affirmation of true love in "She Belongs to Me," (in no way to be confused with the Dylan song) and even Dee Dee's ode to long lost friend Sid Vicious, "Love Kills." ANIMAL BOY has more hooks and surprises than one would have expected at this point from the boys, and even Ritchie Ramone proves himself an excellent songwriter with "Somebody Put Something in My Drink."
Dee Dee, spurred by Ritchie's challenge and a sympathetic ear in producer and ex-Plasmatic Jean Beauvoir, comes up with two genuine Ramones anthems. "My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down (Bonzo Goes to Bitburg)" is a hooky indictment of Reagan that would make Jello Biafra proud, and "Something To Believe In" which finds the Ramones searching for meaning in a world inundated with feel-good songs and finding it in punk rock. And if you aren't humming along by the time Joey gets to the "crummy crummy crummy" chorus of "Crummy Stuff," you must have a hole in your punk rock soul.
Recorded at Intergalactic Studios, New York, New York.

Animal Boy album
$5.99 Digitally remastered by Bill Inglot and Dan Hersch (Digiprep).
Released only months after RAMONES, the Ramones' second album pales slightly in comparison to its stone-classic predecessor--but only slightly. LEAVE HOME contains enough all-time Ramones anthems--"Commando," "Pinhead" (which introduces the legendary "Gabba Gabba Hey" chant), and "Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment," to name only three--that it's still an essential document of the New York punk scene. Rhino's remastered 2001 reissue restores the original running order of the album, including "Carbona Not Glue," which was hastily removed from the 1977 vinyl not because it advocated dangerous activities but because the manufacturers of the spot remover Carbona objected.
More importantly, this reissue ...

Digitally remastered by Dan Hersch and Bill Inglot (Digiprep Studios).
The last installment of the Ramones' breathtaking run of four albums in two years, the underrated ROAD TO RUIN shows that the group's follow-up, the Phil Spector-produced END OF THE CENTURY, was not as huge a change of direction as it's often made out to be. Compared to the fairly ...

Digitally remastered by Dan Hersch and Bill Inglot (Digiprep).
The third of the Ramones' original quartet of albums, 1977's ROCKET TO RUSSIA is actually a big improvement over the slightly disappointing LEAVE HOME, released earlier in 1977. While not as solidly perfect as RAMONES, ROCKET TO RUSSIA contains very little fat and boasts possibly the finest songs in the band's entire repertoire, "Rockaway Beach" and the immortal "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker." "We're a Happy Family" and "Teenage Lobotomy" are only slightly lesser tracks, and the covers of the Trashmen's gloriously silly "Surfin' Bird" and Bobby Freeman's "Do You ...

| | Ramones Subterranean Jungle CD (1983) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Animal Boy album
$8.39 The early '80s found the Ramones in a quandary. Critics charged them with not expanding their horizons beyond their usual axis of songs about girls, punk rock, and mutants. A new breed of more aggressive hardcore bands raised on the Ramones' sound were challenging them for the fastest-loudest crown. Personal problems (drummer Marky was to exit rancorously shortly after the album's release) were further wrenches in the machinery. Thus, when SUBTERRANEAN JUNGLE was released in 1983, it was judged harshly by critics who couldn't understand what the Ramones were trying to do.
While SUBTERRANEAN is no great leap forward, it does contain the seeds of an approach that would sustain the Ramones for the next 15 years of touring. Highlights include a Ramones-ized version of the Chambers Brothers' classic "Time Has Come Today," and, perhaps the ...
| | Ramones Too Tough To Die CD (1985) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Animal Boy CD music
$9.09 With TOO TOUGH the Ramones take on the '80s, and the '80s go down with a second round TKO. After a few fallow years and some substandard albums (by the band's standards anyway), they came rushing back into the ring with a fresh sense of purpose. The addition of new drummer Ritchie Ramone and the return of long-lost brother Tommy (who sat in as producer along with original engineer Ed Stasium) doubtlessly added some fuel to the fire, creating this punchy, revved-up, and highly worthy addition to the Ramones' catalogue.
TOO TOUGH finds the Ramones expanding their musical palette further than usual, adding crunchy metal riffs to the title song and "I'm Not Afraid of Life," while "Howling ...

| | Essential Lounge: Brazil CDs (2006)
Animal Boy music CDs
$19.09 For the inaugural album in their Passport Series, dance and electronica compilation label UBL Music decided to focus on the music of Brazil. They gathered tracks from the recent albums of some of the top Brazilian and Brazilian-themed artists and producers, brought in a few remixes, and Essential Lounge: Brazil was born. As Brazilian music has been a particularly popular genre in club music worldwide since the late '90s, the groups included on the compilation represent a nice chunk in its range of influence, hailing from (besides Brazil, of course) Italy, England, Sweden, Romania, the U.S., France, and the former Yugoslavia. This means that though it all stays within the vague heading of downtempo/chillout/nu-jazz and keeps a samba-inspired beat, there is a lot of interpretation and variation from song to song. Some artists are more successful ...
