I can't tell you how much better Back For More is compared to their original recording of the song from the EP. It's their biggest hit and was the song that got me into the band. Round and Round really doesn't need to be picked apart since everyone knows it well. The songs are well crafted and have blistering solos throughout. So many great songs that showcase both Warren DeMartini and Robin Crosby. But unlike a lot of those albums that came out during the same time, this one still holds it's ground as one of the best. The album as a whole is very much a product of it's time for sure. It's got all the flavors of the LA metal scene tied up nicely in a 3 1/2 minute song. First time I ever heard the song was on MTV for the video and remember it mainly for who was in it at the time: Ozzy Osbourne and Carmine Appice.įave Songs: You Think You're Tough, Walkin' The Dog and Tell The Worldīack For More may be my favorite song by Ratt, but they couldn't have opened up Out Of The Cellar with a better song than Wanted Man, which is so damn cool. The other big song from the EP is You Think You're Tough. It's interesting for what it is, but I'm glad that they got rid of it and settled on the Out Of The Cellar version, which is balls to the walls awesome. It's probably my favorite Ratt song ever, but the early version has a very strange "popping" bass lick that sticks out like a sore thumb. But the oddest song on this one is an early version of Back For More. As for this one, it's got the hallmark sound of Ratt for sure. I don't think I've ever heard the original vinyl release. So, the vinyl version I have is is the glossier remixed one. The record company had gone back and remixed the album to capitalized on the exploding popularity of Ratt. It wasn't the original vinyl release though. It was only then did I go back and pick up the EP. I didn't get into Ratt until Out Of The Cellar came out and was a monster hit.
