Full review
Rocket To Russia was released in mid '77, the most memorable year in Punk Rock history. The Ramones were under Sire Records, whom hoped to cash in on new album expecting large sales, most likely why this comes with some of their cleanest and most musically driven songs played yet by the Ramones, still - not forgetting their favourite 3 chords..

Many of their songs in this album come with a more poetry feel to it, considering most of their previous songs were 4 lines repeated over and over. Heres a verse from Locket love:

" Lovely lovely locket love
You could use a little of
Hang a chain around you
You're hangin' too
Hang on a little bit longer
Hang on you're a goner "

Out of this album came many of the Ramones classics, inclduding 'Sheena is a Punk Rocker' - 'We're a happy family' - 'Cretin Hop' and 'Rockaway Beach'. Every song on this CD is a classic example of "Pop-Punk" even though I hate to call it that. The Ramones got the perfect mix of Punk energy, punk feel and punk music yet stranded into mainstream rock-pop with their vocals and lyrics. To add to that, every song is Upbeat and Catchy and makes you want to jump around or something!

Pretty Much every Ramones album is a gem, but this one stands out of the crowd along with their first album (RAMONES self titled).

This album is a must buy no matter what music genre you are into, it can be listened to any time, any place and any mood and yet it will never grow old.
