“It was inevitable that a glut of Ramones tribute albums would follow the passing of Joey and Dee Dee Ramone. The "We're a Happy Family" thankfully escapes the dubious tribute-album ghetto. It's no surprise that Ramones descendents like Green Day, Rancid, and the Offspring stick close to the tired and true, while headbanger James Hetfield makes "53rd & 3rd" sound like a Metallica song. But the standouts on the disc are the efforts where artists go off the rails. Pete Yorn turns in a yearning version of "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend", while Tom Waits goes the ghoulish route on "The Return of Jackie and Judy". Kiss get the best-in-show nod for their anthemic "Do You Remember Rock & Roll Radio?", which is odd given that the Ramones were formed ostensibly as a reaction against arena rockers like Kiss. Don't miss the final hidden track, a scary gem by the Chili Peppers' John Frusciante.
