RATT – Invasion Of Your Privacy [Rock Candy remaster]

Rock Candy Records have ‘Remastered & Reloaded’ the first four RATT albums, two were already presented here on this blog, now it’s time for the other pair.
Let’s go first with the awesome “Invasion Of Your Privacy“, Ratt’s second effort.

Hot on the heels of their successful debut and produced again by super talented Beau Hill providing an even glossier treatment, Ratt released their second album “Invasion Of Your Privacy” in June of 1985.
The melody, the hooks and the catchy choruses are still here, but this album showed the band growing as musicians and songwriters.
Driven b Warren DeMartini and the late Robbin Crosby (RIP) riffs, “Invasion Of Your Privacy” is more edgy, punchy and in many ways, more rocking than its predecessor.

Everyone knows the great singles “Lay It Down”, “You’re in Love” and “What You Give Is What You Get”, but every song on this album is super.
I think this is why I like this studio effort better than Out Of The Cellar because there is no filler. At some point when they were writing and recording for this album, Ratt just got into a ‘climax zone’.

Particularly “Never Use Love”, “Give It All” and “Got Me On The Line” showcase more elaborated arrangements still retaining the catchy factor.
Ratt’s first ballad also appeared on this album. “Closer To My Heart” is your normal hair metal ballad but with a given boost of energy that makes it rocking anyway.

Some time ago we posted here the Japanese remaster on SHM-CD of “Invasion Of Your Privacy” which sound pretty awesome. This Rock Candy remaster, as usual, it’s a bit more bright.
A really liked the good separation of instruments, a boost in the bass, and the added punch without distortion.
Ratt’s “Invasion Of Your Privacy” is one of the best Hard Rock albums from the ’80s, and this is a Highly Recommended remaster.
A Must Have Classic.
