Ep. 119 Ratt – Out of the Cellar - Review & Reaction

Ratt’s Out of the Cellar is one of the defining albums of the glam metal movement of the 1980s. Released on February 17, 1984, the album solidified Ratt as one of the premier acts in the Los Angeles hard rock scene. With its mix of sleazy, bluesy riffs, catchy melodies, and a slick production courtesy of Beau Hill, Out of the Cellar played a key role in shaping the sound of '80s hair metal.

Out of the Cellar remains one of the quintessential glam metal albums of the 1980s. Ratt successfully blended heavy metal grit with pop accessibility, helping to shape the genre's sound. The album’s legacy lives on, with Round and Round still receiving significant airplay, and the band's influence evident in many rock acts that followed. If you're a fan of classic '80s rock, this is an essential listen.
