5.0 out of 5 stars Marky Ramone - Once a Ramone, always a Ramone, September 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Answer to Your Problems (Audio CD)

Marky Ramone's second album with his new band the Intruders has everything we have come to expect from the former drummer in punk legends the Ramones. This album is packed with 14 fast and catchy tracks, including a driving duet with Joan Jett as well as a punkified cover of the Beatles' "Nowhere Man." The album was produced by Rancid's Lars Frederiksen. His influence is noticeable but not too noticeable--these guys set out to keep the spirit of the Ramones alive, and that's just what they do. Still, there is something very original going on on this album, thanks both to Lars and to Marky's solid songwriting. I can't get enough of tracks 6 ("Life Sucks") and 9 ("Middle Finger"). I highly recommend this disc to any fan of the Ramones, Marky, or Rancid as punk album worth hearing.

Marky Ramone and the Intruders second album is a big improvement over their first album. You might be able to attribute the improvement to the change in lead singers, but I think the real difference is that the songwriting improved. The songs are a lot more fun this time around, with many of them displaying a touch of black humor that was missing the first time. The album was produced by Lars Frederiksen of Rancid, with the exception of "Don't Blame Me", which Marky produced himself. That song (which is a duet with Joan Jett) sounds a lot different than the rest of the album. It has a 1950s feel to it, with saxophones and piano on it, and even going so far as to be in mono. I would recommend this album to punk fans.
