Acid Eaters

Overview Edit

Acid Eaters is the thirteenth studio album by the American punk band The Ramones.

Recorded in 1993 (see 1993 in music), towards the end of the Ramones' career, the album is often set apart from other Ramones releases in that it is entirely composed of covers. Acid Eaters forms a musical tribute to the Ramones' 60s favourites, and highlights the influence that garage rock bands like The Seeds or the Amboy Dukes, and better known bands such as the Beach Boys, The Who and The Rolling Stones, (all of whom are covered in this album) had on their music.

What do Amazon.com customers think?

Awesome!

A record full of tracks that influenced the Ramones, it is the more unexpected songs here that are the best. "Somebody To Love", "My Back Pages" and "Journey To The Center of the Mind" are great, while there are no really bad songs on the tape. Nobody can make a song sound the way the Ramones can, so if anybody out there likes oldies, but ever thought that they somehow lacked energy, this album might change your mind. It was the best Ramones album released in years when it came out.

"Acid Eaters" is a trip.

I admit, this isn't the best "Ramones" disc ever, but it's something fun. I actually think half of these covers work really well, it's the other half that's just so-so. Overall I'd call this a must for the fanatic, but others could pass on it. I will say this though, most cover songs usually make me want to hear the artist covered, but in this case, I just want to hear more "Ramones".
