(Thanks, Joey.)

You know, if they had just made all their albums this good, they wouldn't have had to quit. This is an astounding album, especially considering they hadn't done anything this good since "End of the Century." Everything on this albums works, and "I don't wanna' grow up," "Life's A Gas," "Cretin Family," "Scattergun," "She Talks to Rainbows," and "Born to Die in Berlin" are all instant Ramones classics. If you just buy their first five albums and this one, you will think that they are the best band in the history of rock. Wow, I miss the Ramones.

As long as the Ramones are in the mood for spanish... This record is a must for anyone and everyone who ever liked the Ramones, and now even more, after Joey's passing away (by the way, bye to Dee Dee and Johnny too)...indeed, as you may know by now, Adios Amigos is the last studio album from the Ramones (fitting, since the title is the spanish for "Goodbye my Friends"), and as far as i' m concerned, is their best! Anyhow, it is MY favorite... why? up until the time i got this album, I had liked the Ramones, listened to them every now and again but i didn't own any of their records...but then I bought this and... I was hooked for a lifetime! I immedaitely became a "Pinhead" for life! (althought some of my friends would argue that it was just a matter of finally acknowledging it...) The very essence of the Ramones is here, brilliantly produced by Daniel Rey. "I don't wanna grow up" is a classic in the vein of "Blitzkrieg Bop"; "The Crusher" is hilarious, "Scattergun" is great... But above all, "Life's a Gas": even before Joey's passing, this song was always my favorite, but know... it means so much to me... I look forward to play a cover of this song with my band...
Bottom Line: the record is everything the Ramones always were, and that's the best anyone can say (and by the way, the phrase "Arriva los Ramones!" included in the sleeve is wrong... it's "Arriba los Ramones!")
GET IT NOW!It's a 9 star record!
Gabba Gabba Hey!

This album's excellence has been oveshadowed by the fact that it was the Ramones's last. But the truth is that this album can compete with "Road to Ruin" and "Mondo Bizarro" for the best second tier Ramones album. Of course it cannot compare to "The Ramones" or "Rocket to Russia" but still a worthy album. This album is one of the Ramones more beautiful ones. Songs like "Baby I Love You" and "Life's a Gas" compare in beauty to "Pet Cemetary" and even "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend."

This was The Ramones last studio album. While not as good as their classic early albums, it is a fine album in it's own right. While there are a few songs here that aren't that memorable, most of the songs are good. My personal favorites are "I Don't Want To Grow Up", "The Crusher", "Life's a Gas", "Cretin Family" and "She Talks To Rainbows". Oh, and I can't forget the great hidden bonus track, "Spider-Man". This version is better than the one The Ramones recorded for the "Saturday Morning's Greatest Hits" compilation. In conclusion, this album was a fine capper to The Ramones studio career. Recommended to Ramones fans of all ages.
