Spector used more advanced standards of engineering, such as high-quality <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overdubbing" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Overdubbing">overdubbing</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echo_chamber" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Echo chamber">echo chambers</a>. These methods caused conflict between the band and Spector since much of the recording used techniques that opposed those the Ramones had previously used. Spector emphasized the production value as well, working with a budget of around $200,000.</p><p style="margin: 0.5em 0px;">The songs on <i>End of the Century</i> were written primarily to expand the band's fan-base, straying from the band's original punk genre and steering toward a more <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop_music" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Pop music">pop</a> oriented sound. The lyrics on the album deal with various different things, ranging from drug addictions to the band's lifestyle while touring. The album also features a cover of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ronettes" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none;" title="The Ronettes">The Ronettes</a>' piece "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby,_I_Love_You" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Baby, I Love You">Baby, I Love You</a>", as well as successors to previous Ramones songs "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judy_Is_a_Punk" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Judy Is a Punk">Judy Is a Punk</a>" and "<a class="mw-redirect" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Havana_Affair" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Havana Affair">Havana Affair</a>".</p><p style="margin: 0.5em 0px;">It received generally positive reviews from critics, though many reviewers deemed it to be less favorable compared to the band's previous releases, due to Spector's production quality and the band's desire for mainstream success starting to show in their music, according to critics. Despite this, the album is the highest charting Ramones album of all time, reaching number 44 on the US <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_200" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Billboard 200"><i>Billboard</i> 200</a> chart, and number 14 on the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_Albums_Chart" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none;" title="UK Albums Chart">UK Albums Chart</a>. <i>End of the Century</i> spawned the singles "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby,_I_Love_You" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Baby, I Love You">Baby, I Love You</a>" and "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_You_Remember_Rock_%27n%27_Roll_Radio%3F" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Do You Remember Rock 'n' Roll Radio?">Do You Remember Rock 'n' Roll Radio?</a>," both of which charted in Europe.</p><div aria-labelledby="mw-toc-heading" class="toc" id="toc" role="navigation" style="background-color: #f8f9fa; border: 1px solid rgb(162, 169, 177); display: table; font-size: 13.3px; padding: 7px;"><input class="toctogglecheckbox" id="toctogglecheckbox" role="button" style="direction: ltr; display: none; opacity: 0; position: absolute; z-index: -1;" type="checkbox" /><div class="toctitle" dir="ltr" lang="en" style="direction: ltr; text-align: center;"><h2 id="mw-toc-heading" style="border: 0px; color: black; display: inline; font-size: 13.3px; line-height: 1.3; margin: 1em 0px 0.25em; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px;">Contents</h2><span class="toctogglespan" style="font-size: 12.502px;"><label class="toctogglelabel" for="toctogglecheckbox" style="color: #0645ad; cursor: pointer;"></label></span></div></div><h2 style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(162, 169, 177); color: black; font-family: "Linux Libertine", Georgia, Times, serif; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.3; margin: 1em 0px 0.25em; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px;"><span class="mw-headline" id="Recording_and_production">Recording and production</span><span class="mw-editsection" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1em; margin-left: 1em; unicode-bidi: isolate; user-select: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color: #54595d; margin-right: 0.25em;">[</span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=End_of_the_Century&action=edit&section=1" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none; white-space: nowrap;" title="Edit section: Recording and production">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color: #54595d; margin-left: 0.25em;">]</span></span></h2><p style="margin: 0.5em 0px;">In February 1977 after attending a Ramones concert in Los Angeles, music producer <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Spector" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Phil Spector">Phil Spector</a> offered to assist in making <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_to_Russia" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Rocket to Russia">Rocket to Russia</a></i>.

Its origins date back to the summer of 1977, when "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheena_Is_a_Punk_Rocker" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Sheena Is a Punk Rocker">Sheena Is a Punk Rocker</a>" was released as a single. That summer was known as the peak of the punk rock genre since many punk bands were offered recording contracts. The album's recording began in August 1977, and the band had a considerably larger budget with Sire allowing them between $25,000 and $30,000; much of this money went toward the album's production rather than recording.</p><p style="margin: 0.5em 0px;">The album's cover art was directed by John Gillespie. John Holmstrom and guitarist <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Ramone" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Johnny Ramone">Johnny Ramone</a> both worked on illustration, with the entire back cover contemplating a military theme, while the inner sleeve artwork depicted many of the themes portrayed in songs.

He sums up the album with: "The Ramones are as direct and witty as before. They've also lost just a pinch of their studied rawness: whether this is a sign of maturity or sellout is a matter for debate.
