![]() ‘7th Avenue’ is such a bad ass throw down, sex driven, swag filled groove riffing song. The bass line melody during the verses is exploding with energy and catchy quality. ‘Looking for Love’ is an absolutely addictive riff. ‘Slip of the Lip’ is one of the baddest grooves in hard rock. Some of the greatest grooves and riffs of the entire decade are on ‘Dancing Undercover’. But all of that still doesn’t take away from the fact that ‘Dancing Undercover’ is an amazing album. Not to mention the growing drug problems of Robin Crosby and ego clashing of other members. ‘Dancing Undercover’ isn’t a step backwards, but it’s not exactly a step forward either. That being said, there is a slight lack of growth. So of course, the critics were never going to give them their true credit. They never keyboarded up or sold out on that level. And they were also very consistently true to their sound. ![]() And it shines through in ‘Dancing Undercover’. Ratt were always the most talented of the Sunset Strip scene. And for a band that wasn’t doing any writing together, they wrote a terrific album. Where ‘Dancing Undercover’ lacks in growth for the band, it makes up for in sheer song quality. And all the parts were written separately and put together by producer Beau Hill. None of them were communicated or seeing each other. All the members of the band were fractured at the time. And it’s a miracle that the album even exists. And the leads, downright inspiring at times. From ‘Dance’ all the way through ‘Enough is Enough’. It’s thirty-six minutes of all killer, no filler. Enter the one of the most underrated and overlooked albums of the decade: ‘Dancing Undercover’.įirst off I must say that personally ‘Dancing Undercover’ rivals ‘Detonator’ as my favorite Ratt album. While their peers, Motley Crue and Poison would grow and take over the planet, Ratt would start to miss out on their success. And while they were one of the biggest bands in the world at this point their popularity would soon start to very slowly diminish. And the band would soon start fracturing quickly. But the pressures of the record industry and the non stop writing, recording and touring schedule began to take it’s toll. With two monster records behind them and two massive tours they were riding high.
