RATT DANCING UNDERCOVER FULL

All in all, Dacing Undercover has some strong moments and is worth checking out by any glam metal fan. The catchiness will be back with next two releases, for the better and for the worse. The songs, with three exceptions, feel forced and don't really stick with you. The decision to eschew putting a syrupy ballad on the release and instead just rock out all the way through gives the album a big lift in my eyes as well. The general problem with the album is that despite its consistency it's a very lazy and cliched effort from a band that knows their creative high point is past them. Dancing Undercover features ten songs in all and while I still think of the Out Of The Cellar album as my favorite Ratt release, there isn’t a bad track on this album. It's called 'Slip Of The Lip' and features the most boring guitar riff ever as well as lazy lyrics and irritating vocal delivery. One more song from the album was released as a single and landed on every Ratt compilation thanks to that. It sounds like they just took random parts of other songs and mixed them in no particular order, even the lyrics seem like they don't belong together. 'Take A Chance' is another peculiar song. The chorus is pretty catchy and it goes as follows: Enoughisenoughisenoughis.isenoughisenoughisenoug hisenough.

And it's just a little over three minutes long. There are other solid but unspectacular cuts like 'One Good Lover' and completely average second half of the album, that ends with 'Enough is Enough', that doesn't even start until over a minute into the song. Unfortunately that's where the bright side of the album ends. So it's appropriate that it was released as the lead single.

'Dance' is a typical mid-tempo Ratt hit song with a great riff and insanely catchy chorus. 9 August 1986 Dancing Undercover is Ratts third full length album. 'Body Talk' is another example of that and is also the most, dare I say, aggressive song in the set, that unfortunately failed to catch the world's attention, prompting the band to move into softer, more pop-oriented territory with next releases. This is RATT-by-the-numbers going on here. That is true for most of the songs, it seems as if they realized that no one pays attention to them, because they always come out stupid. RATT DANCING UNDERCOVER reviews Specialists/collaborators reviews siLLy puPPy RATT wasted no time with a follow-up to their first two successful releases. The lyrics to this song are ridiculously simple. 'Drive Me Crazy' is one of the best deep cuts that Ratt has to offer.

The strongest tracks on here are definitely the fastest ones. Vocally it's not quite as strong as the previous efforts, but still Stephen Pearcy manages not to ruin any of the songs. The songs are short, simple, driven by tasty guitar work.

The album pretty much continues the direction set with the previous two records, with hints of the sound the band would go for with next releases. The album receives mixed reception from critics and fans alike but still sells over a million copies in the US. At that time the first cracks in band's integrity start to show, as Robbin Crosby is starting to get deeper and deeper into heroin addiction and Warren DeMartini takes over most of lead-guitar duties. The band goes back into studio with producer Beau Hill to follow up Invasion Of Privacy. They released two multi-platinum albums and have a few minor radio hits under its belt.
