The CD is great because the songs are great. However, the Huntingtons seemed to have accomplished something Screeching Weasel and the Queers haven't (in refernence to their versions of Ramones' songs), they actually sound exactly like the Ramones. Kind of a novelty in and of itself.

It's a great Ramones cover album...it's nice to hear great ramones songs (and there are a lot of lesser known ones on here) with some good production behind it and the Huntingtons do it the best. I would give a five but they don't put enough of their own spin on any of the songs.

This CD features the Huntingtons covering Ramones' songs. The group does songs from throughout the Ramones' career, from the first album to the last album. They do a solid job on all the songs, sticking very close to the Ramones' original arrangements. One might wish that they had put more of their own spin on the songs, but there is something to be said for faithfulness, as well. There is one unlisted bonus track. It is a cover version of the Ramones' cover version of Motorhead's song "R.A.M.O.N.E.S.". It plays after a brief clip of an interview with Joey Ramone, which follows "Life's a Gas".

This cd is very good. The sound is a lot better than the huntingtons' other albums. However it is all Ramones songs, and i can't say that the Huntingtons play them better. So you are probably better off getting the Ramones version. Still, it is a good cd.

the ramones are great. i love them. this sounds just like the ramones... only without edge, character, and style. they tried way too hard to sound like the ramones. id much rather listen to the actual ramones versions.

don't waste your time or money. maybe someday these guys will learn to sound like themselves and cash in on their own songs.

there is a newer tribute CD if you must listen to a tribute which i would recommend-- 'we're a happy family'. the songs were covered in the style of the band covering them.

If you like the Huntingtons you have to get this album. Don't listen to the people who say you would be better getting the Ramones. This album is great. Some songs are faster than others but they are all great. This album is 6 stars!!!!!!!1
