Ramones - Brain Drain: Wikipedia Album Entry
Brain Drain is the eleventh studio album by the American punk band the Ramones. Released on May 23, 1989, it is the last release to feature bass player Dee Dee Ramone, and the last studio album on Sire Records.
Dee Dee wrote in his autobiography, Lobotomy: Surviving the Ramones:
"It was tough recording the Brain Drain album because everyone took their shit out on me. I dreaded being around them. It drove me away--I didn't even end up playing on the album. Everybody in the band had problems; girlfriend problems, money problems, mental problems. "
"Palisades Park" is a cover song, originally recorded by Freddy Cannon in 1962.
"I Believe in Miracles" was covered by Eddie Vedder and Zeke for the We're a Happy Family—A Tribute to the Ramones album and is frequently covered by Pearl Jam at their shows.
It 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 song has been critisized because of the opening riff's recemblance to the riff from Blue Öyster Cult's Don't Fear The Reaper.
