Free Music Review: It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This
Hit: 5 Stars

At least not as far as 80's heavy metal goes. Ratt was firing on all cylinders for their debut. The album had everything an 80's metal head could want, catchy riffs, sing along choruses, incredible lead guitar playing (more on that in a minute), well written songs, and typical "sleaze" 80's based lyrics (meaning cheesy but classic). The musicianship of the band really made them stand out from all the other metal bands out there at the time. The metal scene was so crowded with bands during that time (1984) but most of them stunk, so it was easy for a band like Ratt to stand out from the horde.

Speaking of musicianship, Warren Demartini's playing on this album is incredible, and easily the best of any Ratt album to follow. Demartini really had a flashy style on this album, but it was flash filled with substance. His playing was very legato and lyrical, with expressive use of the whammy bar, tasteful pinch harmonics, and incredible vibrato. In subsequent Ratt albums his solo style took a decided turn to a more bluesy feel, with fast pentatonic runs replacing the long, fluid legato lines of the first album. This is not to say his playing got bad on later albums, far from it, just that his playing style on Out of the Cellar was not to be repeated on subsequent albums. Standout solos featuring the legato style I speak of are Back for More, I'm Insane, In Your Direction, The Morning After, Round and Round, and Wanted Man.

If you were an 80's metal fan you already own this album, but if you're a youngster thinking of dipping your toe in the 80's metal pool, this would be a perfect place to start. They don't make music like this any more (unfortunately).
