-
Jun 4, 2012Unlikely but undeniable dynamite.
-
May 22, 2012For the most part Ya Know? comes across exactly as one would hope--like a collection of songs Joey Ramone would have been proud to share with the world.

-
May 24, 2012At 52 minutes, "...Ya Know?" is at least a quarter of an hour too long, and the individual songs – rarely more than germs of ideas – are dragged out beyond their natural span.
-
May 31, 2012Completely unaided by flat production and little or no deviation from one or two initial ideas, it's verging on an insult to the memory of one of punk's pioneers.

Kerrang!Jun 19, 2012Th songs are reductive, redundant, unimaginative, and dull. [26 May 2012, p.54]
