More than I had expected

"I saw this CD at a store, and snatched it up as fast as I could, even though I hadn't heard any of the tracks before at all. The songs on the CD are all obviously (as you can tell by the track listing) more mature than The Ramones' stuff, and to be honest, had Marky's name not been on the front cover I probably never would have given the CD a chance. But hell, it's Marky! And to my surprise the songs aren't even all that bad, some of them are really great and the rest are good (but I've got to admit that this CD is better than just about every new "rock" band out there put together), and the four Ramones cover songs that come as a bonus are really good. Of course Marky delivers an awesome sound on the drums, and Nick Cooper's (the lead singer) voice doesn't have that damn whiney sound that a lot of other bands do! Halleluja! Overall if you hate most of the new music you've been hearing on the radio, and if you like the Ramones, you should get this album - you'll enjoy it."
