Dancing Undercover

Amazing album! Truly magic of 80’s glam scene. The first 5 albums of Ratt must be in the collection without fail for any lover of quality music. I would say actually that “Invasion Of Your Privasy” my favourite one, but “Out Of Cellar” really great debut album and “Dancing Undercover” grandiose continuation of the first two works. Further there was also a very good “Reach For The Sky” and just the most powerful and amazing “Detonator”. I would say it in my own way in terms of it’s even much more interesting than Motley Crue. I am very surprised why, with their talent, Ratt remained in the shadow of Motley's fame. In this regard, they certainly remained very underestimated and unfortunately for many little known.

Excellent service and excellent product thanks.

Fantastic music

I will never understand why this album is often neglected compared with the previous two. The album is great! I just don't understand why some songs were not released as singles. "One Good Lover" "7th Avenue" "Take a Chance" are as good as any of Ratt's other songs! Great album.

I must admit that for many years I was a bit disinclined to check out Ratt, because the one or two songs I had heard from them didn't exactly blow my mind. There were so many delusive tags associated with this band that can keep potential fans at bay. Mainly I thought they might have been a Motley Crue rip off. l do like a bit of Crue, but I wouldn't say I'm an absolutely huge fan, and I find it hard to fathom how they became one of the biggest metal bands of the 80's stealing the thunder from many other adversaries...so of course why would I want to hear Ratt? Well I was damn wrong, and I'm not afraid to admit it! Ratt are not a Motley Crue clone, nor do they sound like them, perhaps the only thing they did have in common were excess and the party lifestyle?I felt lucky to hear this Ratt album first, because although some of their earlier recordings had more familiar songs like "Round and round" or "Lay it down", this album just had killer songs from start to finish, I was not comparing the material to past glories which is most people's bias in the first place. Especially the guys who only like the hits and ignore the deep cuts from records. The riffs on this album are very good, they really are undeniably catchy. Some of the riffs just groove."Dance" is a great album opener with great guitar work, and Stephen Pearcy's vocals are on point. I'm personally a fan of the rather "rough" vocal style. "One good lover" has some really catchy riffing, this is pure ear candy. It's just so enjoyable to listen to. "Looking for love" has one of the most dangerous sounding riffs on the album, this is a real up to snuff track. I like the guitar work in 7th Avenue, again it just grooves. "It doesn't matter" probably wins the competition for most interesting riff on the album. "Enough is enough" is another good shout out, starting out slow and just building up with the heavy riffs, and Stephen's enticing vocals.I absolutely think this is a great 80's hair metal album. I actually think some of the songs here actually sound gnarly, which in itself is the biggest punchline considering all the aboveboard elitists who say this is "watered down". Warren DeMartini's lead work is absolutely superb, not a sloppy pentatonic noodler, but a real guitar hero with all kinds of diationic three note per string shredding vocabulary.

No ballads. NO fillers. No weak lyrics. Just great hard rock n roll from the 1980's that has a rhythm section that is akin to a v-8 engine, guitar playing that is scorching and a singer who screeches like his life depends on it. Much better than motley crue's theatre of pain album ( which came out at around the same time). Very underrated album with melodiously memorable songs like seventh avenue, body talk, dance, slip of the lip ( its not about mick jagger) and one good lover.

I heard this album when it first came out and remember being impressed by 'dance'. For some reason I don't remember playing this album since then. Now , I have just bought a copy of this on CD after finding my old cassette. What a gem!This rocks all the way through. The hard and fast numbers grab you first (Dance, Drive me crazy, Body talk) but then the slower ones shine through after a few listens and become even more enjoyable - best of these are 'One good lover, Slip of the lip, It doesn't matter & Take a chance', great melody from start to finish. The vocals are the outrageous part, unusual, maybe a bit OTT (Drive me..crayzee..oooooooh yeaaah!), unreal but interesting. Its fun to listen to for both the sound and the subject matter - the whole album is about love and girls.This should be a great album to blast in the car! Have a look at amazon.com for some good reviews on this album as well.I have also just bought 'invasion of your privacy' after reading good reviews. On first listen I am disappointed in comparison to DU, I had to skip though it, it sounds boring - but I will listen to it properly later.

Noticed this has just recently come into the MP3 section. Don't know why it came in late.Anyway this is a good album and the high points for me are 'It doesn't matter', 'Looking for love', 'Dance' and 'Enough is enough'
