In the wake of both Joey's and Dee Dee Ramone's untimely deaths, We're a Happy Family -- a star-studded tribute featuring Metallica, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Garbage, and Eddie Vedder -- was a well-timed reminder of the Ramones' lasting influence. The Pretenders focus the intense yearning of "Something to Believe In" into a spacious ballad, Tom Waits transforms "The Return of Jackie and Judy" into a wild backwoods blues song, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers add waves of melancholy guitar to their Latin-flavored reworking of "Havana Affair." These are moments when you can experience the Ramones' familiar songwriting while savoring the performers' distinct sound. ~ Bradley Torreano, All Music Guide
