Too Tough to Die is the eighth album by the Ramones, release in 1984 (see 1984 in music). It is the first album recorded with Richie Ramone. It is regarded by All Music Guide as as "the last great record they would ever make" and as a particular triumph for Dee Dee Ramone, who wrote or co-wrote nine of the album's 13 tracks. In this album, the Ramones were trying to get a little bit into the '80s hardcore punk scene.
