Brain Drain finds Ramones sounding sharp, direct and unmistakably themselves. Released in 1989, it was the first Ramones album to feature Marky Ramone on drums since 1983’s Subterranean Jungle, and the last album to feature Dee Dee Ramone on bass.
Every song carries those trademark Ramones hooks and that effortless catchiness, with Johnny Ramone’s guitar work right at the centre of it all, just like the good old days.
It also includes three standouts in Pet Sematary, I Believe in Miracles and Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight Tonight).
