This is a best-of selection of 30 songs out of a 118 career total by the Ramones sound-alikes and pals (in fact, these guys won a punk contest back in 1999, organised by none other than Joey Ramone himself). So yes, it's punk, it's fast, it's customarily monotonous. But it is quite charming - it's not quite as noisy and rugged as the old kind of in-your-face punk, thus bridging the gap between the fast-paced classic stuff and the Blink 182 wishy washy half-punk. To the harmony-buff, the album certainly benefits from the melodious background vocals. The collection is a safe bet for long time fans - displaying an even distribution of songs from past albums - and may attract the occasional uninitiated punk fan.
