Despite the lukewarm reception to the album, the record's cover of the Ronettes' "Baby I Love You" became their only Top Ten British hit; in America, none of the singles made an impact, although the record became their biggest hit, peaking at number 44.
Following the album's release, Marky Ramone left the band; he was replaced by Richard Beau, a former member of the Velveteens, who changed his name to Richie Ramone.

 My Ramones Album Rankings
I believe the reason many did not like this album is because it was at least 10 years ahead of its time.
The only reason this album isn't in the top two or three is that, unfortunately, the Ramones didn't write any of the songs.
The greatest flaw of the album is the sound of Johnny's guitar; which I think it is the worst of any album.

 BBC - h2g2 - 'Acid Eaters' by the Ramones
Recorded in 1993, towards the end of the Ramones' career, Acid Eaters is often set apart from other Ramones releases in that it is an album entirely comprising of covers.
Acid Eaters forms a musical tribute to the Ramones' '60s favourites, and highlights the influence that bands such as the Beach Boys had on their music.
With many of the band's earlier albums, Ramones being a good example, artwork and other distractions were kept to a minimum, with focus being placed on the music.

Of course the earlier albums are the classics, but all of the understated eighties albums kick too, and so do the handful of albums released in the nineties.
All of the Ramones live albums are crap except for "It's Alive", and this is because the Ramones put on a "show" as opposed to trying to play the songs like they did from 1975-1984, and man, "Substitute" sucked even MORE (if that's possible) at this show.

 Acid Mothers Temple Reviews
Acid Mothers Temple is the brain child of Japanese guitar virtuoso Makoto Kawabata, who is described by normally stuffy Wire magazine as "one of the greatest post-Hendrix blood and fire guitarists." On songs like "Virgin UFO Feedback," from the band's 2001 release Absolutely Freak Out (Zap Your Mind!!), it's obvious he deserves the comparison.
Acid Mothers Temple's mad scientist is Makoto Kawabata, a guitarist who was weaned on rock of the prog, hard, and kraut variety‹Amon Düül, Deep Purple, Genesis.
The members of Acid Mothers Temple are the real deal, certified organic, making music harvested from the absolute fringes of their very lives In the end, it's the absolute genius of their music, cutting through the din of the lysergic cacophony, which matters.

Everyone should own at least one Ramones album, maybe you have the first album "the Ramones", the greatest hits package "Ramones Mania", or myabe you have the "Hey Ho Let's Go" anthology from last year.
While there is certainly an element of this, and some of the song choices are a little obvious (Rolling Stones, Jefferson Airplane), the Ramones get away with this by the simple expedient of making all of the songs sound like the Ramones "song" (even die hard Ramones fans don't claim the band to be adventurous).

 Kevin Cherry on Ramones on National Review Online
ribute albums are often a case of lesser musicians doing homage to greater, acknowledging their inspiration and genius.
Their original album featured 14 songs, yet still clocked in under thirty minutes; the longest track — "I Don't Wanna Go Down to the Basement," for those of you keeping track — took all of 2:35.
Unsurprisingly, the punk bands on the album — Green Day, the Offspring, and Rancid — fare better on average than the rock bands.

On his first and only solo album, "Don't Worry About Me," the listener can witness Ramone's incredible range of talent and taste, as he runs the gamut from garage rock to goth to hard rock and back, stretching far beyond the three minutes per song he restricted himself to in the Ramones.
This album opens very strongly with Joey's fairly famous cover of the Louis Armstrong classic "What a Wonderful World", it's kind of inspiring yet sad considering this album was recorded in his weakest and most bleak healthwise times.
Ramone may have considered this album an incomplete work, but his final release shows that he was a singer who remained true to himself and his unique musical vision.

The Album has some songs that often is featured on different compilations such as "Wart Hog" and "Mama's Boy" (neither of them would make my Ramones top 50).
The Ramones were always great at giving other artists songs their own sound but "Acid Eaters" lacks the energy that made early ramonescovers, "Do you wanna Dance" and "let's Dance", magical.
The Album also contains the touching "Life's a Gas", an ode to wrestling "The Crusher", a song a bout an introvert little girl "She Talks to Rainbows", Johnny Thunders' "I Love You" and a cover of the theme to the cartoon "Spider-Man".

 Acid Archives
There are some starry-eyed acid moves that sounds like a bunch of runaway kids groovin' on their first week in the Haight, but it's undeniably teenybopper top 40 at the core.
Newbies to this likeable album will probably learn it from the Sundazed reissue, which scrambles the song order, relegates their weird cover of "Over The Rainbow," (which is the weakest song on the album anyway) to bonus track status, and adds a mishmash of bonus tracks of varying quality.
As is usually the case, they'd probably have been better off with the woman singing all of the songs, not because anything's wrong with the guys, but because she's much less appealing as a backing singer than a lead singer.

 Various Artists: We're a Happy Family: A Tribute to the Ramones - PopMatters Music Review
As the album's highlight moments, this tuneful trifecta should have served as the base from which to build upon.
Furthering the underlying inconsistencies of the album are two fine performances by Eddie Vedder, "I Believe in Miracles" and "Daytime Dilemma (Dangers of Love);" Pete Yorn's impressive "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend;" Rooney's "Here Today Gone Tomorrow"; and Garbage performing a very Patti Smith-like version of "I Just Wanna Have Something to Do".
The album's balance is drastically disrupted as these songs are tempered by Marilyn Manson's "The KKK Took My Baby Away" and Tom Waits' rendition of "The Return of Jackie and Judy".
