Invasion Of Your Privacy by Ratt (CD, Atlantic USA)

this is ratt's sophomore album and it is very good, it has 2 of their most well known songs "lay it down" and "you're in love", and others on this album. good effort on this record for this band. well worth 10$

Ratt's second album, Invasion Of Your Privacy, is one of the Heavy Metal / Hard Rock masterpieces released in the 80's. Excellent riffs, fantastic solos, Stephen Pearcy's vocals... If you like 80s melodic hard rock, this is a must have!

Highlights: You're In Love, Never Use Love, Lay It Down

i not understand your question ,j not speak a good english;
he is a good bayer , j have the cd about a long time ,
thanks

still crunchy & hook filled, RATT gives us a third dose of their signature brand of ratt' n' roll. although the production is a bit glossy, the songs still shine through. you're in love, you should know by now, lay it down & what you give keep the party goin'. not as good as the ep, or cellar, invasion is still much better than latter releases like reach for the sky. ratt's biggest mistake was letting their record company have too much input on their career.

This is bar far my favorite Ratt album with the hit Lay It Down. The album tracks are as follows: You're In Love, Never Use Love, Lay It Down, Give It All, Closer To My Heart, Between The Eyes, What You Give Is What You Get, Got Me On The Line, You Should Know By Name, and Dangerous But Worth The Risk. Wikpedia says this about this album: The band's second full-length album Invasion of Your Privacy was released July 1985. The model on the album cover is Playboy Playmate Marianne Gravatte who also made an appearance in the Lay It Down music video. Using a model on an album cover later became a trend copied by many glam metal bands of the 1980s, such as Bon Jovi, Great White, Slaughter and L.A. Guns. The cover for Invasion of Your Privacy was also one of the many album covers that received the attention of the PMRC, since the cover and the album title were an obvious reference to voyeurism. The Tipper Gore-led organization presented it at a U.S. Congressional hearing on September 19, 1985 dealing with parental advisory labels on albums that display "inappropriate" content.

I hope you enjoy this album as much as I do...thanks...

If you don't include their first self titled EP with like 4 or 5 songs on it (by the way, that album is very hard to find, and when you do, it isn't cheap), Invasion of Your Privacy is Ratt's second album, coming after Out of the Cellar. Cellar had a rawer sound, being their first album, with cooler heavier riffs, but I think Invasion is an album with better songwriting skills. I like both albums, but Invasion is much more listenable simply because the songs are better. Warren De Martini plays more song oriented solos instead of trying to wow us, which at times sounds kind of plain, but the songs sound better, like they were planned out instead of just playing as fast as you can. I already know the guy can play, so he doesn't have to impress technically as much. He matured a bit on this album and played more to the song rather than playing the solo as basically its own work. A good example of this is You're In Love. There are some cool licks in there, but most of solo is pretty simple, but it still sounds great. I'm sure he tried some fast licks in there, but the simple tasteful licks probably sounded better to the listener, so why not sacrifice some technical fame for the good of the song? He does that nicely on this song and the whole album to a degree. Bobby Blotzer shows on this album that he is a drummer to be reckoned with. Same song, Your In Love. In the outro verse when it goes back into "You take the midnight subway train...", that drum fill is absolutely killer. I've heard drummers try to copy it in cover bands. Most come out of it off-beat, and screw the rest of the band up. And then there's Stephen Pearcy's raw vocals. No matter how many times I listen to Ratt, he still sounds raw. His voice was on the cutting edge back then, and it still is a little different today. The closest person I can think of to his voice is probably Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan. It's just a cool, different kind of sound. A sound that many think they can sound like, but few actually capture the right raspiness and tone.

Invasion is probably my favorite Ratt album, although all their albums are close behind, but I think Invasion sticks out just a little because of the fact that all their songs on this album are real good. On their other albums, a song or two stick out as being a little off, but not on Invasion. They're all cool. You're In Love is classic, Closer To My Heart is a power ballad that headbangers could like but so could chicks, Give It All has a bunch of cool hooks both musically and vocally, Dangerous But Worth The Risk finishes off the album in hard rockin' style. Ratt made it big in the 80's, and since their heyday, they've not been taken too seriously. Their other albums though have some pretty good stuff on them, whether anyone's even heard of them or not. I think Ratt was at their peak with Invasion, and it carried on with Dancing Undercover, Reach For The Sky, and Detonator. But people liked them less and less, and in came grunge and the rest is history. Ratt was a victim of record companies not caring about the 80's sound anymore. I've often wondered why all these 80's bands disappeared at the same time. Is it because none of them could write songs anymore, all these bands at the same time? If you listen to some of their unheard of albums, you'll realize that this isn't the case. Very few bands came out the 80's with good careers intact like Motley Crue. Ratt went down with the rest of them.

this one was one of my first albums i bought when i was 15 years old. and still one of my favorite album from ratt. i like it at all .
now i got it in cd. is amaizing.

The best album from the best band of the '80s Los Angeles hair metal era. Crunchy guitars, mature arrangements, and lots of sleazy fun, Ratt were at the peak of their powers on this record, and would slide toward more mainstream sensibilities and the inevitable oblivion after it.
