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' buzzsaw guitar attack make an excellent match, and with the exception of a pleasant but pointless cover of Spector's "Baby, I Love You" there isn't a weak track on the album. Highlights include a Spector-ized version of the theme to ROCK 'N' ROLL HIGH SCHOOL (markedly different from the cut on the movie soundtrack), "Do You Remember Rock 'N' Roll," (their ode to '60s Top 40 radio), "Danny Says" (their ode to manager Danny Fields), and "Chinese Rocks" (Dee Dee Ramone's often-covered ode to copping heroin).

Expanded & remastered edition of their 1980 release features the original Phil Spector-produced 12-song album plus 6 bonus tracks and a hidden track (a Joey Ramone radio spot). Bonus tracks, 'I Want You Around' & the previously unreleased demos 'Danny Says', 'I'm Affected', 'Please Don't Leave', 'All The Way' & 'Do You Remember Rock 'N' Roll Radio?'. Slipcase. 2002.

All tracks have been digitally remastered.

Recorded at Gold Star Studios, Excalibur Studios, Devonshire Sound Studios, Sound Dog Studios & Original Sound Studios, Los Angeles, California. Includes liner notes by Harvey Kubernik.

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

Additional personnel: Sean Donohue (spoken vocals); Steve Douglas (saxophone); Barry Goldberg (piano, organ).

Q (10/02, p.132) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Arguably their best release..."
Uncut (10/02, p.112) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...Solidly great songs...a touchingly epic simplicity that's impossible to resist."
CMJ (1/5/04, p.6) - Ranked #16 in CMJ's "Top 20 Most-Played Albums of 1980".
Mojo (Publisher) (7/00, p.127) - "...Finds Da Brudders in search of an '80s identity. Phil Spector's treatment of the trademark buzzsaw sound was largely to bury it, but at least they got a hit out of 'Baby I Love You', while 'Do You Remember Rock'n'Roll Radio' remains an instant classic..."

Average Rating: (3 out of 5 stars) 3 stars

2 stars Not the great album it could have been.
I love the Ramones, they are my favortite band, but I think, old fart producer, Phil Spector totally ruined this album. If they would have gotten Tommy Ramone (who had produced their first four classic albums) to produce this, it would have been alot better. This has alot of what could have been great sonegs but weren't. For example: 'Do You Remember Rock 'N' Roll Radio', 'I'm Affected', 'Chinese Rocks' and many more. If they would have had Marky Ramones' normal 4-4 drum beat and Johnny Ramones' chainsaw guitar without the crappy sound affects and stupid saxaphones they could have been alot better. Sure, this still has some pretty good songs that weren't completely ruined by Spectors over-producing, (Like: All The Way, Let's Go). To sum it all up: Phil Spector is a great producer, don't get me wrong. But he should have kept producing George Harrison and John Lennons album instead of the greatest punk band in the world.

2 stars More pop, less punk...
Here the Ramones were feeling the pressure to make a hit record, and were willing to tame their sound in an effort to be more radio-friendly. Which they and producer Phil Spectre in essence did much to the consternation of many of their original fans. Though Rock N Roll High School and Chinese Rock are decent songs, End Of The Century is for the most part a pop album, much along the lines of the Bay City Rollers at their commercial peak.

5 stars great..great album!!
The 4 brothers under the guide of the genious of Phil Spector,create a great album,for me one of the best of their studio albums. A really "wall of sound";the fantastic Joey gives his best with vocals,and songs like "do you remember.." or "Let's go"are energy pure and total!! An album you must have in your collection even if you don't love punk really much;this isn't punk,this album is rock,pop and energy you can't find in many other rock artists. Marco,Italy

I Don't Need You Now
Fergus McCormick I Don't Need You Now CD  (2007)

End Of The Century
CD $12.65
On his third album, ā€˜I Don’t Need You Now’, Fergus McCormick’s characters peer into the abyss. In the title track the narrator tells his lover he no longer needs her – he only needs her at a distance – but the emotion in his voice betrays him. The fourteen songs unfold in an arc like letters written to a lost lover. Darkness and isolation and uncertainty subside as his characters find hope and redemption in music and love.McCormick and his band, who include Mike Davis (Norah Jones) on bass, Tim Vaill (Danielle Howle, Preston Clarke) on drums, Riley McMahon (Spottiswoode, Kenny White) on electric guitar and Andy Burton (Ian Hunter, The Zombies) on piano, are at the center of the singer-songwriter resurgence in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, one of the most diverse neighborhoods in America. From his base in Williamsburg, McCormick has showcased in some of New York’s finest venues, including The Knitting Factory, The Cutting Room, Arlene’s Grocery, Pete’s Candy Store and Galapagos.Following the success of his debut album, 'Fergus McCormick' and his second album, 'Jumping the Gun', which received critical acclaim, McCormick reunited with producer Mike Davis, spending two years recording, producing and mixing 'I Don’t Need You Now'. The result is a major step forward for McCormick, who rises above the fray.From Jeff Giles at www.bullz-eye.com (four out of five stars):The loveliest set of acoustic Irish ballads ever to be written by a man from Flemington, New Jersey, Fergus McCormick’s I Don’t Need You Now is a treasure waiting to be unearthed by the NPR crowd – 14 delicately woven strands of spun gold, suspended in amber and framed with McCormick’s aching, honey-coated voice. To look at him, you wouldn’t think he was more than a year or two out of college, but musically – from the quiet strength of his arrangements to the battle-scarred weariness of his lyrics to the ā€œSide Oneā€ and ā€œSide Twoā€ that cut the album’s track listing in half – he sounds like he’s always been here.In truth, I Don’t Need You Now is only the third release for the Brooklyn resident, and though he’s managed to build a local following through appearances at venues such as the Knitting Factory and Arlene’s Grocery, this album has all the makings of ...
