iTunes Review
The Ramones first four albums are now punk rock cornerstones, while the rest of their catalog is still being rediscovered as their legacy continues to grow. But in 1986 it was a tough time for the group. Commercial fortune always eluded them and punk rock had turned angrier and meaner than was suitable to their approach. Animal Boy was the band’s ninth studio album. Produced by ex-Plasmatics Jean Beauvoir, it’s a stylistic hodgepodge with several top notch tunes that coming from anyone other than the Ramones wouldn’t seem so odd. But this being the Ramones, the addition of keyboards and other pop radio production touches made for calls of “sell out.” In retrospect though it’s the punk posturing of the title track and forced tunes like “Eat That Rat” that suffer from age, whereas the glorious hooks of ‘Somebody Put Something In My Drink,” “She Belongs to Me,” and “Something to Believe In” should have made it to radio. Throw in the highly dramatic and pointed political jab of “My Brain is Hanging Upside Down (Bonzo Goes to Bitburg)” and you’ve got one of the group’s most overlooked albums.

ramones!!!!!!!!
by crappnidiotsprodmy brian is hanging upside is a great song i dont get why they didnt put on greatest hits?????
Truly a great album
by London_Calling01Every music critic (including iTunes) says that Too Tough to Die is the Ramones' last great record. I disagree. THIS is the Ramones' last great record. Songs like Animal Boy and Freak of Nature are those return to punk tunes. But this album also shows that the Ramones can write deep songs with emotional meaning. Dee Dee wrote Love Kills as a farewell to his friend Sid Vicious and Bonzo Goes to Bitburg is their first political song and they really vent on how they feel. Sure there are some throw aways, but this is a solid, solid album.
Recommendations: Animal Boy, Love Kills, Crummy Stuff, Bonzo, Mental Hell
