I think it's pretty tight for what it's worth. Dee Dee might not be a singer but he certainly knows what a tune is.

A truly solid album for a band as burned out as the Ramones must have been after a decade of having to be around the Ramones.

That's totally true, and then it is a great example of one other thing that I love about them: one of those random Ramones riffs (first time at 0:50) which has no reason to work but works brilliantly. It just comes completely out of nowhere

And that bit not quite 1:30 in where the music almost stops, two drum beats, and then Joey kicks in and the song picks back up is another little tiny moment of drama that is the difference between the Ramones and countless other imitators whose songs legitimately do all sound the same. The Ramones know how to make a million similar two minute songs that all sound distinct and find ways to grab you in idiosyncratic ways.

Incidentally, the best Ramones action is still calling a song Judy Is a Punk, and then starting it with the line 'Jackie is a punk'

Jackie was the first girl in any "X girl is an X" song and yet she never had a song named after her. **** the Ramones.

Oh and there's another typical random brilliant riff in Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue around 0:30, preceded by and equally random '12345678!'
Everytime I listen to one of these albums it keeps surprising and delighting me again and again
