It's ironic and a little that the first worthwhile Ramones album in many years is their last. This album features some of the groups finest material since the late 70's. The opening song "I Don't Wanna Grow Up" is absolutely superb, easily the equal of any of their earlier records and tracks like Joey's moody "She Talks To Rainbows" and Dee Dee's "Born To Die In Berlin" (featuring a guest return of Dee Dee) showcase the extremes of the bands sound very well. All the songs are very catchy and enjoyable with the only real exceptions being the largely tuneless "Have A Nice Day" and "Got A Lot To Say". With the exception of these tracks the album contains nothing bout good (if not great) pop / punk.

Too bad this was the last album because it included a few great songs. A perfect last album, that wasn't overdone in production. The band didn't try to outdo their early albums, but in stead kept it the way it should be. Though the band did say they would call it quits, if this album wasn't successful, there couldn't of been a better time for the Ramones to end. think a wise choice. A perfect ending to an era, a legendary band, and a great time reflex on the 22 years this band work so hard to create amazing music.
The standout tracks includes:
I dont wanna grow up
It's not for me to know
The crusher
Life's a gas
Have a nice day
She talks to rainbows
Born to die in Berlin
R.a.m.o.n.e.s

I definitely agree with Donkey. It's maybe not an absolute classic taken as a whole - there are a few not particularly great tracks (though it's kind of appropriate that 'I Got a Lot to Say' only has two lines in it!).
However, there's a confidence and conviction about the whole album which suggests they weren't just going through the motions. It's a lot more tuneful than some of their 80s albums (Animal Boy & Halfway to Sanity in particular). And it contains a handful of songs which are probably the best they ever recorded.
I'd single out 'I Don't Wanna Grow Up' as a standout track - it's an absolute belter of a song & though it's a cover version (of a Tom Waits song) it does kind of sum the Ramones up. Makes you feel glad to be alive.
Other great songs include:
- 'Born to Die in Berlin' - harsh, aggressive, doomy & featuring (in one verse) German lyrics sung by Dee Dee.
- 'She Talks to Rainbows' - sad, poignant, heavy and slow.
- 'The Crusher' - a zippy punk-pop track sung by CJ, with a hilarious tongue-in-cheek lyric about a would-be boxing champ whose bragging self-confidence swiftly evaporates ('I mean the Russian Bear could probably tear / Me limb from limb / He'd probably grin, be real happy with himself / This is not good for my health').
- 'Take the Pain Away' - a poignant, sad song about walking in the rain and feeling blue. I wonder whether Joey knew how ill he was at that stage?
Definitely recommended if you like the Ramones, though you might want to skip a track or two.
