 Two thumbs up.....

IMO, Invasion is as good as their first release. This was true party / glam metal at its best and I still listen to this cd today. Ratt are / were bigtime and I was there in the mid 80's listening to them, Motley, Dokken, WASP and LA Guns. It was the best era of all.

 RATT & Roll!!!

I grew up listening to Ratt.
I used to own an LP version of this album, but now I get to listen to it on CD.
Each song has its own flavor to it, but my favorite would be "You should Know by Now."
The guitar solos by Warren and Robyn in this song are one of the rockest solos from 80's heavy metal. |

 Hot CD cover belies some of the dull tunes

The gigantic opening riff heard on the heavy metal classic "You're in Love," the first song on "Invasion of Your Privacy," grandly signified that RATT aimed to keep its hot streak going, the one left over from the multi-platinum monster Out of the Cellar. Unfortunately, however, though it was a valiant try, several of the tunes on "Invasion" feel like throwaway B-sides that simply never made the "Out of the Cellar" cut. Cliched as it sounds, RATT's unoriginal second record suffers a bit from the proverbial "sophomore slump."
To be sure, there are some really good cuts here. The more interesting tunes from "Invasion," such as "Never Use Love," "What You Give is What You Get" and "You Should Know by Now," feature unique, angular choruses that veer sharply from a run-of-the-mill sound. Additionally, "Lay it Down" is a pure adrenaline rush of great guitar work and an ultra-cool chorus; it ranks as one of the best heavy metal tunes of the 1980s. But "Invasion of Your Privacy" is also rife with bland songs that don't do RATT justice. "Give it All," "Between the Eyes" and "Got Me on the Line" all noticeably lack the multitude of easy-on-the-ears hooks that made RATT's first record so spectacular. Even the final song, "Dangerous but Worth the Risk," which you would expect to contain some extra flair due to its revered close-out-the-album status, is kind of a bore. And speaking of dull, the lone and inevitable ballad on this disc, "Closer to My Heart," is simply unlistenable schmaltz that sounds like it could have come from Dokken.
As expected, everyone in RATT plays his instrument on each song with gusto and dead-on technical proficiency throughout the album. And as usual, Stephen Pearcy's voice slices the air like a razor, giving RATT its typical formidable presence. Yes, "Invasion" rocks pretty hard and you can pump your fist and sing along with the well-produced choruses, but RATT's rushed second record might be its weakest, most formulaic effort from the '80s. |

Has A Bunch Of Ratt Classics

This one is not as solid as Out Of The Cellar, but has quite a few classics like "You're In Love", "Lay It Down", "You Should Know By Now", "Give It All", and "What You Give Is What You Get".
Songs like "Between The Eyes", "Got Me On The Line", and "Closer To My Heart", and for me even "Dangerous But Worth The Risk" are borderine on filler material, although each has parts that I like...they are not songs I ever get too excited about hearing when I put this disc in.
And I know we are not supposed to talk about price on here, but 4.97?? Wow, I think I paid about 12 dollars back in the day to get this one fresh off the rack, and now it's under 5 bucks?
For what it's worth these guys were near the front of the so called hair metal/bands of the very early 80's, and even though they may be considered cheesey or a guilty pleasure today, they were around before it got ridiculous in the mid to late 80's with clone bands and cookie cutter rock...so for the price I say go for it. And really for what is featured on this CD, you won't be sorry...this is the good stuff from the era. |
