"Second release doesn't quite have the rawness of their debut,but that doesn't make this album suck cause it doesn't. Many classics including the anthem "Pinhead" Still worth getting. 4 1/2 stars."

The beginning of the gabba gabba hey days.

"With three versions of this album circling the world, first pressing of 4000 with Carbona not Glue, an import, UK only I believe, with Baby Sitter and finally the most available with the single version of Sheena is a Punk Rocker, I find any version you get your hands on is well worth it. You can kill two birds with one stone buying the All the Stuff More I. vol on CD. You get the sheena version and Baby Sitter at the end in the more section. Leave Home captures the band experimenting if you will, with a little more produced sound but still relying on only one or two tracks for the instruments. Remember that Ramones, the first album, cost $6,400 to make so the sound on Leave Home, yes, is not quite as raw as the first but you'll be headbanging your way through the tracks from the opening chord to the closing. Leave Home also marks the debut of the Gabba Gabba Hey days as Pinhead is recorded and released as it's seventh track. A must buy for any true fans who don't have this one in their collection."
