....a great cover album...
...the beatnik termites are without a doubt one of the best modern pop punk bands out there. They add there own personality to this album. They cover the Ramones "pleasant dreams," nearly entirely, and do a very good job. Stand out tracks: The KKK took my baby away, we want the airwaves, and you didn't mean anything to me.

There has been a minor trend in the punk rock world for bands to cover Ramones albums in their entirety. On this CD, the Beatnik Termites cover the Ramones' album Pleasant Dreams. They don't quite cover the entire album, because "It's Not My Place (In the 9 to 5 World)" is not performed. The Beatnik Termites actually do a very good job with these songs, doing...

There was beer in the soda machine., July 31, 2006
This review is from: Pleasant Dreams (Audio CD)
There has been a minor trend in the punk rock world for bands to cover Ramones albums in their entirety. On this CD, the Beatnik Termites cover the Ramones' album Pleasant Dreams. They don't quite cover the entire album, because "It's Not My Place (In the 9 to 5 World)" is not performed. The Beatnik Termites actually do a very good job with these songs, doing straightforward punk versions of the songs, without the pop flourishes that somewhat marred the Ramones' original versions. However, the question is, why cover an album that wasn't that great to begin with? The album had some pretty weak songs on it, and those songs are still pretty weak. Beatnik Termites do as good a job as they can, but they are hindered by the source material.
