Brain Drain is a 1989 album by the Ramones (see 1989 in music). Released on May 23 of that year,[1] it is the last to feature the bass player Dee Dee Ramone, and the last studio album on Sire Records. It contains the single "Pet Sematary", written for the Stephen King movie of the same name. The single became one of the Ramones' biggest radio hits, and a staple in their concerts during the 1990's.

Dee Dee wrote in his autobiography, Lobotomy: Surviving the Ramones:

It was tough recording the Brain Drain album because everyone took their shit out on me. I dreaded being around them. It drove me away--I didn't even end up playing on the album. Everybody in the band had problems; girlfriend problems, money problems, mental problems.
