"I'm Against It" comes from Road to Ruin, the fourth Ramones album, which Sire released on September 22, 1978. That record marked the arrival of Marky Ramone on drums, so he's the one driving this track, with Joey Ramone on lead vocals, Johnny Ramone on guitar and Dee Dee Ramone on bass.
The drummer he replaced never really left. Tommy Ramone had stepped away from the kit, worn down by touring and by albums that didn't sell, but he stayed on to produce with Ed Stasium, credited as T. Erdelyi, and the two engineered the track as well. Road to Ruin has been read as a bid for more airplay, letting metal-edged guitar solos and 1960s-style ballads into the Ramones' world.
