Part 3 of the classic trilogy. Come on, how many other bands (of ANY genre!) can claim three milestone LPs within two years? Another 14 songs of their trademark blend - goofy punk and catchy surf pop. Still works like a charm. 10 fast and 4 slower songs, nearly all are hits. [10]  

Der dritte und beste Streich der Trilogie. Durch ihre Coverversionen der ersten beiden und dieser LP zeigen sie ihre Wurzeln, die im Rock’n’Roll der 60ger liegen. Macht immer wieder Laune, die alten Ramones-Sachen auszupacken und sich so über den einen oder anderen Fehlkauf hinwegzutrösten. (KS)
