Music reviews of Tell the World: The Very Best of Ratt

Music Review: Ratt Sure Did Know How to Lay it Down
Rating: 4 Stars

Tell the World is primarily a compilation of Ratt's first four albums from 1984 - 1988. Yeah...they were a busy bunch. They put some great music on those first four albums during that 4-year period, and their best songs are definitely included on Tell the World.

However, if you have Ratt's 1991 "best-of" compilation, Ratt & Roll 8191 Ratt & Roll 8191 , then you pretty much already have 2007's Tell the World: The Very Best of Ratt. The only stand-out track missing from 8191 that is indeed included on Tell the World is Reach for the Sky's City to City Reach for the Sky .

During Ratt's hay-day, they were on top of the Glam scene...right up there next to Mötley Crüe Decade of Decadence '81-'91 . Sixteen out of Nineteen unique tracks (not counting Way Cool Jr. twice) on Tell the World should not be excluded from any 80's Metal countdown. And hearing them all over again this week reminded me just how good Ratt was; when they were good...they were good.

On the other hand, a lot of Ratt's other (filler) material--on their first four disks, and on everything that followed--was fair at best. Thankfully, we are only given a taste on Tell the World of the mediocre music that Ratt made; why they chose to start Tell the World off with one of those mediocre efforts (Track 1 - Dangerous but Worth the Risk from Invasion of Your Privacy Invasion of Your Privacy ) is beyond me.

The key thing is that the tracks on Tell the World are mostly Hair-Metal gold. You know what they are, and they're listed above in Amazon's product description, so I won't list them all with the exception of saying that at the time of this writing Amazon does suggest that No One Can Stop You Now is included, but in fact it is not.

Tell the World originally closed (Track 20) with the unreleased song No One Can Stop You Now from the Reach for the Sky import, but it was removed at the final hour due on-going legal stuff that the band has been involded with. Track 20 was replaced with the MTV Unplugged version of Way Cool Jr (from 1990 with Michael Schenker filling in for the ailing (now deceased) Robbin Crosby.

If you liked Ratt, and you don't have 8191, then you must add Tell the World to your cart.
