Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The Ramones appear on the cover of Subterranean Jungle dressed in their trademark leather and denim, posing sulkily in a graffiti-covered New York subway train, looking admirably unconcerned about the fact that they are all, by now, well into their 30s and still look like a remedial class excursion. The music on Subterranean Jungle betrays a comparable reluctance to grow up, and the result is an amusing enough but unsatisfying album--by now, the Ramones had not only done mindless, adrenalised punk pop better than this, they'd done it better than anyone before or since. As such, Subterranean Jungle rarely makes a compelling case for its usefulness--there are a couple of cute tunes, notably "Time Has Come Today" and "My-My Kind Of A Girl", but the clumsy, laboured desperation of the closing track, "Every Time I Eat Vegetables It Makes Me Think Of You" is the more accurate representative. --Andrew Mueller

This really is not as bad an album as some would have you believe, it's no "Rocket To Russia" or "End Of The Century" but there are some cracking tracks on here.
"Psychotherapy" is a top song ,as is the catchy "Little Bit O' Soul" the only real disappointment (in my opinion) is the fairly weak "Everytime I Eat Vegetables.." It might not be the best they ever recorded but it certainly isn't the worst,it's a better album than "Too Tough To Die" for example (well,at least that's what I think ! )
If you are a fan of the Ramones , you've still GOT to have this record !!!!

A lot has been written about this album, many people claiming it to be a total disaster whilst others call it a misunderstood classic. In truth it's neither. Although it's nowhere near as essential as any of their other albums it's not as bad as it's often made out to be.
The main downfall of this record is that it features the Ramones desperately trying to score a hit record and they give up their distinctive classic sound in favour of a watered-down commercial sound. The production really is appalling (Marky's drums especially suffer) but despite all these downsides there are reasons why you should own this record.
The opener "Little Bit O' Soul" is totally unlike any previous Ramones record. Instead of flat out punk it features the group playing mid-tempo soul (with unconvincing results). Sadly, too many of the songs are lukewarm overproduced pop-punk songs and the onlyhighlights of the record are when they return to their classic sound. They include "Highest Trails Above" (classic Ramones energy with totally trippy lyrics), "Outsider" (as covered by Green Day), "Time Bomb" (with Dee Dee's first lead vocal) and the superb "Psycho Therapy" (easily the equal of any of their previous anthems).
The albums main single "Time Has Come Today" is interesting but again strangely unconvincing. The group try mid-tempo soul but it just doesn't work. The closer "Everytime I Eat Vegetables" is a return to the quirky lyrics of their previous records but this time it sounds forced and uninspired.
The bonus tracks are interesting, if only to hear the Ramones in their raw glory without the awful production, plus "Indian Giver" is a great track that really would have lifted this record. Overall the record is inconsistent but it does contain some great material.
