The only catch being that here they play the same great tune with 12 cover versions. Romping, stomping and breathing their own particular Ramonecentricities into these songs, this record acknowledges the tremendous debt that punk owes to 60s rock. Nonetheless, the blood that pumps through these tracks is pure punk--pure Ramones punk. What other band would dare turn the beautiful desolation of "Have You Ever Seen The Rain" into an exuberant, supercharged punk anthem?

Editorial Reviews
...the Ramones' simplicity remains particularly deceptive...the Ramones toss away more hooks than most bands have in their repertoire...ACID EATERS [is] perhaps [the Ramones'] most perfectly realized effort...a non-stop compendium of grasp-and-hold anthems, rendered with loving devotion....
Musician (19940201)

4 stars out of 5 - [T]hey sound relaxed, melodic - easily their best album in a decade.
Uncut

...the Ramones have always been the ultimate '60s band. No surprise then that this collection of covers from that decade sounds like an aural love letter bashed out in a garage on a rainy day.... - Rating: A-
Entertainment Weekly (19940114)

...[ACID EATERS is] all '60s-punk cover versions ...[the] smartest songs...are about getting older, which the Ramones have been doing for years. But they're making more playable albums at this stage than anyone would've predicted....
Spin (19940201)

3 Stars - Good - ...supercharged covers of the music that influenced them...fondly revisiting the proto-grunge of '60s gods...the rockers smoke, but it's the riskier picks that surprise...
