In the case of Brain Drain this turns out to be a mistake, as it's the album most evocative of the classic Ramones sound since Subterranean Jungle. "Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight Tonight)" and the cover of "Palisades Park" are so lavishly produced that they could have been outtakes from the Phil Spector sessions (though minus the negative karma that accompanied that time period). "Don't Bust My Chops" finds the Ramones revisiting the crunchy guitar sound of the mid-'80s albums, only with better hooks this time around. "Zero Zero UFO" returns the boys to familiar goofball territory and "All Screwed Up" keeps them there. Also contains the single "Pet Sematary", written for the Stephen King movie of the same name. The single became one of the Ramones' biggest radio hits, and a staple in their concerts during the 1990's. The final Ramones album recorded for Sire Records (their label from day one), Brain Drain was sadly also the last to feature bassist and creative leader Dee Dee Ramone.
