New RATT album "INFESTATION"

by **Rip Rokken** » Thu Apr 15, 2010 10:44 am

MP3's are already out -- CD coming April 20th. I haven't listened to the new clips yet except for a few seconds -- sounds very much like classic RATT. Anyone have any thoughts?

Just now listening to the clips and have to agree with you. I wasn't planning on picking this album up, but I may change my mind now. Sounds pretty good.

I think I'm just going to order this one blind. Doubt I'll be too disappointed.

Have had it for close to 3 weeks now....

Love it!

I usually get mp3s 3 weeks to a month before the cd drops.....of you ever want an opinion other than drew's, let me know....

I kinda get this feeling it could be one of their strongest, songwriting-wise anyway. What do you think? how does it compare to their best albums?

They're playing a record release party at the Cubby Bear in Chicago in May. I already bought VIP tickets. Warrant is also on the bill. Anyone else on here going? I think tickets are only $20.

"Shame Shame Shame" and "Lovin You Is A Dirty Job" are two of my favorite RATT songs of all time. I tried unsuccessfully for years to get Juan Croucier to sell me the blue Jackson bass he uses in the "Lovin" video.

Giving yourself Away, and One step Away are stellar!

KICKIN!!! I honestly thought I'd outgrown the RATT sound years back, but I was wrong.

Well glad you are putting away the smooth jazz cds and pulling out RATT.

Don Dokken vs Kenny G. :lol:

LOL -- no smooth jazz here, amigo!

4 songs in, and this is a great CD. Might be the best RATT's ever put out. Great songwriting and production.

Just wrapping up song #11 and have to say, Infestation is an EXCELLENT listen song for song! Love the classic Pearcy-style lyrics in the last song "Don't Let Go"... a little nod to David Lee Roth, too!

"I'm gonna get me some leg tonight for sure, and I don't care who I'm with!"

Damn, this is a fun album!

It's up there and I;m not really a Ratt fan (another questionable singer....much like Dokken), but the album and Stephan sound great!

Ok, LOL... Putting that together with your thoughts on Crazy Lixx, I think I'm going to just do the opposite of everything you recommend.
