End of the Century
End of the Century is the fifth studio album by the American punk rock band the Ramones, released on February 4, 1980, through Sire Records. The album was the band's first produced by Phil Spector, though he had offered the band his assistance earlier in their career. With Spector fully producing the album, it was the first release that excluded original member Tommy Ramone, who in 1978 left the band but produced their previous album Road to Ruin. -Wikipedia

Pitchfork
For 1980’s End of the Century, the Ramones abandoned their tough, fast and loud dynamic to work with Phil Spector. It was one of the oddest pairings in punk history. -2016

Rolling Stone
End of the Century may not be the Ramones’ best record but it may be the best one that a large number of listeners are likely to hear. -1980

This isn't the same old Ramones anymore, this is the Ramones growing up, and it's a good album to point out to anyone that believe that pop music is manufactured by record companies. -2005

Ultimate Classic Rock
End of the Century arguably took the Ramones as far as they would ever dare stray from their initially quite-spartan musical formula. -2016

Post Punk Monk
To have “sold out” this successfully and to have only reached #44 on the album charts is sad-making. -2014

End of the Century was the culmination of a moment that had begun maybe a couple of years before, that had dominated areas of the rock press.
