Wayward lead-singer, dead founding member, lacklustre albums, not to mention pretty much being inactive for the best part of two decades, you could be forgiven for thinking that things didn't bode well for this comeback. However, if you wrote a wishlist for what Ratt HAD to do to get you to listen to them again, then they definitely fulfill it on 'Infestation': Great production, crunchy riffs, can't-get-it-out-of-your-head catchiness, tasteful shredding, Pearcy's sneer - all present and correct. Thankfully, they now have a sympathetic producer ( Elvis Baskette ), who is obviously a fan. He knows the limitations of the Pearcy 'voice', and makes sure it's upfront and unapologetic. You hear Pearcy, and you hear the 'Ratt Sound'. So you get the patented attitude and swagger, backed up by muscular and confident music. Nothing outstays its welcome, and indeed, the album clocks in at a perfect forty-seven minutes. It doesn't hang around long enough for you to get bored. This album is what SHOULD have followed the stunning 'Invasion Of Your Privacy', as it sits comfortably alongside those early classics. Utterly great. Review: The 80's is back - The 80's. The decade that should never have been. All that disco rubbish, & leg warmers. But it also spawned some of the best metal that's ever been produced. It was probably the golden era for it. And right up there with the best were Ratt. Probably one of the best bands not to be huge. That was a sign of the times though, as they came along when metal had a resurgence, and there was a lot of choice for the punters. Someone had to suffer. Enough of the past. This is Ratt at their raunchy, pouting, in-yer-face best. As has been mentioned in another review, it's like the follow-up to Invasion of your privacy/dancing undercover, & the last 20 years just didn't happen. Absolutely epic stuff. Well recommended if you're old enough to remember them, & also if you're not. Get a taste of real metal, not this punky, no-solo, nu-metal nonsense. Bring back bands with guitar heroes, ones that aren't afraid to play lead & put some soul & feeling into their music. Reminds me of why I loved metal in the first place. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0034K7QXM | | Best Sellers Rank | 138,719 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) 1,151 in Glam Rock 8,630 in Heavy Metal 55,194 in Pop | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (270) | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 8399831 | | Label | Roadrunner | | Manufacturer | Roadrunner | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 2010 | | Product Dimensions | 12.4 x 14.2 x 1.4 cm; 94.12 g | ## Images ![Infestation - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81gLrkZlibL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An EMPHATIC return to form - ! *by L***X on 19 April 2010* If there was an example of a classic band ready to stumble at a crucial hurdle, it would have been Ratt.

But it also spawned some of the best metal that's ever been produced. It was probably the golden era for it. And right up there with the best were Ratt. Probably one of the best bands not to be huge.

I didn't think that their last album was that bad either despite reviews, but this is a very strong album - full of hard rockers in the ol', familiar RATT style. Listening to it earlier and my wife said that it sounded like one long song, which should be a good thing (and it is really...), but ultimately isn't, which is why I only gave it 4 stars - not enough diversity. But hey... it's all Ratt n' roll - good, rockin' stuff.
