    Ya Know cuts deep, with the best singing and wiliest melodies of his career. [Jun 2012, p.96]

    Unlikely but undeniable dynamite.

    For 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.

    Ya Know?, assembled from a collection of demos, outtakes, and unreleased tracks, is by no means a "great album," and burdened by inexplicable timing, but it has enough fond memories to make it worth pursuing for true Ramones fans.

    ...ya know? manages to maintain a cohesive sound despite its disjointed source material.

    Despite a handful of tracks that sound exactly like, well, zombified demos, …Ya Know? has some fantastic moments.
