Principally recorded at Media Sound, New York, New York. Includes liner notes by Legs McNeil and Arturo Vega.

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 primitive RAMONES and LEAVE HOME, ROCKET TO RUSSIA had sounded almost slick, and ROAD TO RUIN goes it one better. Tom Erdelyi remains as co-producer, but his new partner Ed Stasium reveals a gift for balancing hard-candy gloss, bubble-gum hooks and noisy punk passion; similarly, Erdelyi's replacement on the drums, former glam-rocker Marc Bell, adds both power and finesse.

The high points--particularly the uncharacteristically emotional love song "Questioningly" and the immortal rocker "I Wanna Be Sedated"--are excellent, and ROAD TO RUIN is a fitting conclusion to the Ramones' first and best era. The bonus tracks on the 2001 Rhino reissue include two early, Stasium-produced versions of "I Want You Around" and "Rock and Roll High School," along with the raucous 11-minute live medley that's the climax of the film of the same name, and a pair of previously unreleased demos.

Contains 4 Bonus Tracks. 4th Album.

Reissue producers: Bill Inglot, Gary Stewart.

Engineers: T. Erdelyi, Ed Stasium.

The Ramones: Joey Ramone (vocals); Johnny Ramone (guitar); Dee Dee Ramone (bass, background vocals); Marky Ramone (drums).

Producers: T. Erdelyi, Ed Stasium.

Q (8/01, pp.156-7) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Amongst their best work....A consistently satisfying record....the album's hooks are irresistible..."
NME (Magazine) (6/23/01, p.41) - 10 out of 10 - "...The most toweringly aggressive, misleadingly primitive, perfectly phrased musical statement ever made....The demos and alternate versions included demonstrate how finely honed every gangly gesture was from the very beginning..."

Customer Road To Ruin Reviews 




Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Just as good as the first three.
I think that Marky Ramone is a better drummer than Tommy Ramone, but I think that Tommy fits better with them. But aside from that, this is still a classic Ramones album. This enchanced CD contains the original version of the songs "Rock n Roll High School" and "I Want You Around" (before they were Spectorized.) This is the last great album before they went into the poppiness phase then to release their toughest album... TOO TOUGH TO DIE!!!

All im going to say is that this is the BEST Ramones album they have ever done, 5 stars without a doubt.

5 stars THEIR LAST INDISPENSIBLE ALBUM
Ramones fans need the first four albums. Marc Bell aka Marky Ramone adds a little muscle to the mix (I'm sure the purists were disgusted that he played actual fills). Top to bottom every song is great. "Sedated", "Something To Do", "She's The One" are standouts. Johnny Cash should cover "Questioningly". Bonus Points: Ed Stasium's superior mix of "Rock 'N Roll High School" and, for naming the greatest hardcore band ever, "Bad Brain."

Ramones CD  (1976) Deluxe Edition

Road To Ruin album
CD $6.89  4.9 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
Digitally remastered by Dan Hersch and Bill Inglot (Digiprep). The Ramones' self-titled debut is a justifiably adored album--not just one of the best albums to come out of the initial New York punk explosion of the mid-'70s, but one of the greatest rock and roll albums of all time. RAMONES is one of those rare records where there is not a single weak or out-of-place song. Changeups like the bubblegummy near-ballad "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" and the uncharacteristically harsh "53rd and 3rd" (an unsentimental song about Dee Dee Ramone's days as a teenage hustler) vary the album's ...

Ramones Leave Home CD  (1977) Deluxe Edition

Road To Ruin CD music
CD $5.99  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
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 ...

Ramones Rocket To Russia CD  (1977) Deluxe Edition

CD $5.99  4.9 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
Principally recorded at Media Sound, New York, New York. Includes liner notes by Legs McNeil and Arturo Vega. 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 ...

Ramones End Of The Century CD  (1980) Bonus Tracks; Remastered

Road To Ruin songs
CD $8.39  3 stars Audio Samples
This has always been the Ramones most controversial album, thanks to the characteristically over the top production by '60s legend Phil Spector. Some longtime fans hold that the band is overwhelmed by Spector's trademark Wall of Sound, and the Ramones themselves have expressed some reservations with the album over the years, although that may have been a result of Spector's personal eccentricities during the recording sessions--at one point he reputedly held a gun on them. In retrospect, however, Spector's sound and the Ramones' ...

Ramones Subterranean Jungle CD  (1983) Bonus Tracks; Remastered

Road To Ruin album
CD $8.39  3.8 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
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 ...

Ramones Too Tough To Die CD  (1985) Bonus Tracks; Remastered

Road To Ruin CD music
CD $9.09  4.5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
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 ...

Desert Roses & Arabian Rhythms
Desert Roses & Arabian Rhythms CD  (2001)

Road To Ruin songs
CD $10.79  5 stars Audio Samples
Inspired by the success of Sting's collaboration with Cheb Mami on "Desert Rose," this 13-song sampler provides an accessible introduction to contemporary music that's connected to North Africa/the Middle East. Balancing Arabian rhythms with modern dance beats and ouds with electric guitars, these songs (several of which are sung in French or English) indicate how musicians have integrated different traditions into modern pop. The album begins with Natacha Atlas, whose haunting and alluring rendition of "Mon Amie la Rose" (a song previously recorded by Francoise Hardy) is likely to motivate many listeners to seek out her Gedida album. "Pomegranates," a song by Atlas' former British bandmates Trans-Global Underground, isn't quite as compelling; however, the group's ethno-techno fusion does provide a different perspective on how musicians have drawn on Arabian sources to create new sounds. ...

The Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation's first two albums, The Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation and Doctor Dunbar's Prescription, are combined into this two-CD reissue, which adds lengthy historical liner notes by British blues-rock expert Harry Shapiro. On their self-titled debut album, the group flashed a British blues-rock approach that was rather similar to that of John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers circa 1967. That was unsurprising considering that leader and drummer Dunbar had played on the Bluesbreakers' 1967 A Hard Road album, and that bassist Alex Dmochowski would later play with Mayall himself. Although everyone in the Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation was a skilled player, the record ...
