"Psycho Therapy" The music featured on Subterranean Jungle was an attempted return to the band's origins. "Psycho Therapy", which was released on the album, serves as an example of this, and was said by Dave Thompson [who?] to be "searing".[15] Problems playing this file? See media help. Side two of the album begins with "Psycho Therapy", which was written by both Johnny and Dee Dee; the song has since grown into one of the Ramones' most popular songs. Dee Dee recalled: "I knew we needed a real 'Ramones song' for the album, and I knew [Johnny] was depressed about how things were going. He needed that song to get excited about the band again,"[4] while Johnny stated, “I wanted to do a hardcore song to show the hardcore people that we can play as fast or faster than they can. Nobody plays faster than us.”[16] The next track is another cover song, "Time Has Come Today", which was originally recorded in 1967 by the soul music group the Chambers Brothers. The Ramones' version of the song featured a psychedelic rock influence, and was said by Eddy to have more of a "garage" feel to it, as compared to the original.[13] "My-My Kind of a Girl" was directed specifically toward the band's female fandom. The lyrics were written by Joey about meeting a girl on 8th Street in Manhattan and wanting to spend his life with her.[7] In Vanity Fair, the song was regarded as a "lingering affection for Phil Spector's pop grandeur."[17] Dee Dee's "Time Bomb", which was track number eleven, was said by True to be "more ridiculous than frightening."[7] The album concludes with "Everytime I Eat Vegetables It Makes Me Think of You", which was said by author Todd Anderson to be a "sing along."[18] Release and reception[edit] Professional ratingsReview scoresSourceRatingAllMusic[19]Robert ChristgauA−[20]The Rolling Stone Album Guide[21]Spin Alternative Record Guide4/10[22] Subterranean Jungle was released by Sire Records in February 1983.[23] In a contemporary review for The Village Voice, music journalist Robert Christgau wrote that despite containing two inferior pieces ("Highest Trails Above" and "I Need Your Love"), the album is "more worthy of an audience than anything they've done in the '80s."[20] Stereo Review magazine strongly recommended it to "headbangers of all ages" as "a textbook Ramones album" whose unintellectual lyrics about mental illness and drug abuse "can actually be refreshing."[24] The album peaked at number 83 in on the Billboard 200 in the US, but failed to chart elsewhere.[25] Neither of the album's singles—"Psycho Therapy" and "Time Has Come Today"—charted.[26] In a retrospective review for AllMusic, author Stephen Thomas Erlewine called Subterranean Jungle the band's "most enjoyable record since Rocket to Russia," and said that the producers "steered the Ramones back toward the '60s pop infatuation that provided the foundation for their early records."[19] He ended his review by stating that it may not be defined as the "strictest sense" of punk rock; however, he strongly suggested that the band had not sounded so "alive" since their earlier days.[19] Douglas Wolk, writing in The Rolling Stone Album Guide (2004), was less enthusiastic and called it an "attempt at radio-friendly production," with a series of cover songs that "almost recasts the group as an oldies act."[21] In a 2004 interview for New York magazine, Johnny Ramone graded the album a "B" and said that he was pleased with its guitar sound, despite the three cover songs, while remarking "I was watching the Brewers-Cardinals World Series when we were recording it."[27] Track listing[edit] The following track listing can be verified through the Subterranean Jungle expanded edition liner notes.[28] .mw-parser-output .tracklist{border-spacing:0}.mw-parser-output .tracklist tr{background-color:var(--background-color-base,#fff)}.mw-parser-output .tracklist tr:nth-child(2n-1){background-color:var(--background-color-neutral-subtle,#f8f9fa)}.mw-parser-output .tracklist caption{text-align:left;font-weight:bold}.mw-parser-output .tracklist td,.mw-parser-output .tracklist th[scope="row"]{vertical-align:top}.mw-parser-output .tracklist th[scope="col"]{text-align:left;background-color:var(--background-color-neutral,#eaecf0)}.mw-parser-output .tracklist th.tracklist-length-header,.mw-parser-output .tracklist th.tracklist-number-header,.mw-parser-output .tracklist th[scope="row"],.mw-parser-output .tracklist-length,.mw-parser-output .tracklist-total-length td{padding-right:10px;text-align:right}.mw-parser-output .tracklist th[scope="row"]{font-weight:normal}.mw-parser-output .tracklist-number-header{width:2em;padding-left:10px}.mw-parser-output .tracklist-length-header{width:4em}.mw-parser-output .tracklist tr.tracklist-total-length{background-color:transparent}.mw-parser-output .tracklist .tracklist-total-length th{padding:0;font-weight:bold}.mw-parser-output .tracklist-total-length th>span{float:right;padding:0 10px;background-color:var(--background-color-neutral,#eaecf0)}.mw-parser-output .tracklist-total-length td{background-color:var(--background-color-neutral,#eaecf0);font-weight:bold;padding:0 10px 0 0}Side oneNo.TitleWriter(s)Length1."Little Bit O' Soul"Ken Lewis, John Carter2:432."I Need Your Love"Bobby Dee Waxman3:033."Outsider"Dee Dee Ramone2:104."What'd Ya Do?"Joey Ramone2:245."Highest Trails Above"Dee Dee Ramone2:096."Somebody Like Me"Dee Dee Ramone2:34 Side twoNo.TitleWriter(s)Length7."Psycho Therapy"Dee Dee Ramone, Johnny Ramone2:358."Time Has Come Today"Willie Chambers, Joseph Chambers4:259."My-My Kind of a Girl"Joey Ramone3:3110."In the Park"Dee Dee Ramone2:3411."Time Bomb"Dee Dee Ramone2:0912."Everytime I Eat Vegetables It Makes Me Think of You"Joey Ramone3:04 2002 expanded edition CD (Warner Archives/Rhino) bonus tracksNo.TitleWriter(s)Length13."Indian Giver" (original mix)Bobby Bloom, Ritchie Cord
