Review - :
A new record deal and the addition of an enthusiastic new bassist ({$C.J. Ramone}) revitalized {$the Ramones}, making {^Mondo Bizarro} the band's strongest release in years. Returning longtime producer {$Ed Stasium} certainly deserves much credit for helping the "bruthas" rediscover their unique combination of {\pop} hooks, savage guitar riffing, and most importantly, their sense of humor. This is immediately obvious on songs like {&"Censorshit"} (which addresses the {%Tipper Gore} -- P.M.R.C. issue), {&"The Job That Ate My Brain,"} and the absolutely hilarious {&"Cabbies on Crack."} Recently departed charter member {$Dee Dee Ramone} also contributes a few surprisingly commercial (but still awesome) songs in {&"Poison Heart"} and {&"Strength to Endure,"} the latter is sung by rookie {$C.J}. {&"I Won't Let It Happen"} as an acoustic {\ballad} in the classic {$Ramones} mold. Although {&"Touring"} is little more than a poor remake of {&"Rock'n'Roll High School,"} {^Mondo Bizarro} still marks a solid return to form for {\punk rock}'s greatest institution. [The album's 2004 {@Captain Oi!} reissue included a bonus track, expanded liners, and a deluxe slip case.] ~ Ed Rivadavia, All Music Guide
