3.0 out of 5 stars New York City ain't got nothin' at all, May 24, 2004

This review is from: Rocket to Russia (Audio CD)

This is a track by track cover album by The Queers of the classic Ramones album. The songs are even in the exact same order. The songs are played well enough, but the question is why listen to this instead of the Ramones original? The arrangements are not much different from the original versions, so not much new is added. The most notable change is a different vocal arrangement on "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker". It's hard to say who this might appeal to.

4.0 out of 5 stars Must Have, December 10, 2003

This review is from: Rocket to Russia (Audio CD)

This is a rare and unique album of the Queers covering one of
the greatest Ramones records in it's entirety "Rocket to Russia." Generally excepted as the second greatest Ramones record, the Queers offer up a great rendition of this classic album which is the third installment of the series. Screeching Weasel did the Ramones first record, The Vindictives covered "Leave Home," now listen to the Queers take the Rocket to Russia. A must have for any pop punk fan.

3.0 out of 5 stars You know you like it when the music's loud, May 24, 2004
