Hit: 4 Stars

`Out of the Cellar' was promise fulfilled by Ratt as their EP had debuted a year before. With a much slicker (professional) production and pop-friendly chorus, the album achieved monster success and is generally acclaimed as one of the iconic records from the hair metal era. LA was fast becoming seen as the epicenter of this much maligned musical movement (critically) and Ratt had paid their dues as a club band who had made the drive from San Diego (where band leader and vocalist Stephen Pearcy originally hailed from) to become the new darlings of the Sunset Strip. "Round and Round" was one THE defining anthems of the `80's and is still requested and listened to quite a bit today when much of its ilk has been relegated to the critical scrap heap (the recent film "The Wrestler" pays tribute to it). `Out of the Cellar' was a very complete album and really the most consistent record the Ratt ever put out as the law of diminishing returns and lack of real staying power eventually caught up to them. Warren DeMartini also makes his ascendency as Ratt's main man and because of band co-founder Robbin Crosby's lesser talent and notorious partying this made it easier for DeMartini to flash his considerable talents as lead guitarist. "Back for More", "Wanted Man", "Lack of Communication" and the Juan Croucier penned "She Wants Money" are all album highlights. Croucier would soon feel squeezed by Pearcy's dominance but here it was all smiles and good times. Pearcy brought my personal favorite "In Your Direction" from his San Diego Mickey Ratt days. Vey few duds here but as I said before, Ratt would never put out another record as consistently entertaining as `Out of the Cellar'

Out of the Cellar Poster

Great collection at a great price.
Along with Motley Crue, Quiet Riot and Twisted Sister, Ratt was one of the main players of the '80s glam metal movement. Although many of their songs lacked diversity and emotional poignancy, their guitarist Warren De Martini possessed the flash and technical ability to escalate the group above most of its peers. Out of the Cellar is by far the band's best record, but between the blazing solos and call-and-response choruses are many lackluster moments. What saves it from the bargain bin, however, is the quintessential metal anthem "Round and Round," one of the greatest three-or-so minutes in '80s rock. --Jon Wiederhorn
