This blog is reviews on movies, books, albums and songs. It is my opinion and I do not do this for a living. I'm just a teenager :)

This album is great and definitely one of the best albums I've heard. The album also ranked #33 on Rolling Stones 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. It's a classic album with fast rhythm songs that will get you dancing and your head bobbing. It's a great first album and it's easy going, fun songs are a definitely worth a listening to. It's original and it screams punk rock. It isn't too hard core or hard to listen to but very well paced and not too angry. The songs are mostly about girls and breakups or about things these weird creatures who called themselves the Ramones are used to. Like sniffing glue for instance. Nothing too deep in the meaning of their songs but they are catchy and will get stuck in your head. I suggest you get the record and listen to it. I also suggest you get in LP form (that's what I have anyway). Long Live Vinyl!
As a wise man once sang Hooray for the USA!
