003 - 'Leave Home' Side A Deep Dive

Welcome to Episode 003 of CJ Says: A Ramones Podcast.

We're back on the record reviews this week, and our second Deep Dive episode delves into the sophomore album by Ramones, Leave Home, released on January 10, 1977.

With their second LP, the band aimed to refine their sound, striving for a more polished product in their quest for mainstream success, while still staying true to the raw punk energy that made Ramones such a timeless, classic & beloved debut.

The doo-wop, surf rock & bubblegum pop influences continue to inform their signature sound, propped up by melodies more infectious than the clap, and the trademark Ramones humour is on display throughout...

The million dollar question is this: is Leave Home superior or inferior to Ramones? And where does this album sit amongst the fans and the critics?

Of course, the only way to find out the answers to these burning questions is to hit PLAY on this Side A Deep Dive, then join us over on www.patreon.com/cjsays where we jump into Side B...

One thing is for sure: there is no sophomore slump here!

While 'Leave Home' didn’t achieve the level of commercial success the band had hoped for, it succeeded in solidifying their position in the pantheon of not only punk rock but American music history. As such, the album remains an invaluable addition to the Ramones' discography.

Let the Leave Home Deep Dive commence!!!
