 End of the Century (Music)
comment
End of the Century is the fifth studio album by the Ramones, released in 1980. It was produced by Phil Spector. It's a Lighter and Softer New Sound Album compared to the band's previous output and therefore seen as controversial among fans. Even Joey and Johnny Ramone didn't particularly like most of the songs they recorded on this album. Nevertheless it did manage to become their most commercially successful album worldwide. The record is best known for the hits "Do You Remember Rock 'N' Roll Radio?" and "Rock 'N' Roll High School".

New Sound Album: Compared to the band's previous output there's more attempt to appeal to a wider audience and trying out different instrumentations.

Out-of-Genre Experience: As the titles may indicate, "Do You Remember Rock 'N' Roll Radio?" and "Rock 'N' Roll High School" are closer to classic Rock & Roll, as opposed to their usual Punk Rock.

Spoken Word in Music: "Do You Remember Rock 'N' Roll Radio?" starts with the sound of a (pre-digital) radio being tuned between stations, finally settling on a radio DJ introducing the song with, "This IS Rock'n'Roll Radio; come on, let's rock and roll with the Ramones!"; it also ends with the DJ saying, "This is Rock'n'Roll Radio; stay tuned for more rock and roll."

Continuity Nod: "Danny Says" references "Sheena Is A Punk Rocker" from the album Rocket to Russia. "This Ain't Havana" is a Call-Back to "Havana Affair" from Ramones (1976). "The Return of Jackie and Judy" references and updates the stories of Jackie and Judy from "Judy is a Punk" from their first album.

Shout-Out: "Do You Remember Rock 'N' Roll Radio" references Murray the K, John Lennon, Jerry Lee Lewis, T. Rex, The Barbarians, Alan Freed and shows like "Hullabaloo", "Shindig!", "Upbeat" and "The Ed Sullivan Show". "Danny Says" alludes to Get Smart ("Watching 'Get Smart' on TV") and also references their song "Sheena Is A Punk Rocker" from their album Rocket to Russia. Tom Waits covered "The Return Of Jackie And Judy" and "Danny Says" on his Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards (2006) album. The 1979 rock music film/comedy Rock 'n' Roll High School was named after the eponymous song from this album. The 2003 documentary about The Ramones was named "End Of The Century".

Lighter and Softer: Compared to the band's previous output the music sounds not as loud. Some tracks even have different musical arrangements, like the violins in "Baby I Love You".
