Dance, dance, dance
Slip and slide, take a ride
You want the best of both worlds
Caviar, it's hard to find
You're not a big city girl
You have dreams to make it big
Right off the Greyhound bus
Roses come from everyone
You're gonna have yourself some fun

К выходу третьего альбома казалось, что статус Ratt, как одной из самых продаваемых рок-групп Америки просто незыблем. Но в какой то момент они расслабились и «пустили петуха», который, честно говоря, стоил им всего их успеха.
В группе начинался раздрай: Пирси отличался просто непомерно раздутым эго и ругался почти со всеми, а Робин Кросби банально плотно сел на героин.
Богатство и слава вызвали лень и апатию. Бью Хилл втихую писал в студии своих протеже (других, а не Ratt, разумеется), пользуясь уже оплаченным временем и тем, что группе было, в сущности, наплевать на то, что происходит в их карьере. Может быть, им стоило просто годик отдохнуть?
Не пугайтесь, тут не все так печально. Во-первых, группа решила потяжелеть. Теперь это уже не глэм-рок, а вполне себе глэм-метал. Во-вторых, играть и записываться они стали еще лучше – это слышно. А еще впервые у них на обложке не полуголая девочка из Playboy. Правда вот песни…
Оказалось, что они снова повесят у себя в студии американскую «платину» и еще парочку платиновых дисков из Японии, Канады и Европы, но произошло это, скорее, на автопилоте. Ведь их слава была сродни взрыву: быстрая и стремительная и очень-очень громкая.
Им повезло, что их поддержало MTV, так как клипы группа снимать умела. Да и, собственно, парочку первоклассных синглов они все же смогли создать. Они-то и тянули лямку альбома: "Dance", "Slip of the Lip" и "Body Talk" справились с предъявленными к ним требованиями. Совместный тур с Poison оказался под №6 в списке лучших концертных туров года. Недурно.
А группа начала медленно, но верно сыпаться. Пирси жаловался, что Бон Джови ворует у него «фишки», а ему говорили, что у него нет вообще никаких «фишек», которые можно было бы украсть. Они ссорились, а "Slippery When Wet", тем временем, продавался почти по миллиону копий каждый месяц.
Начало конца.
Альбом все же был оценен потомками и оказался на 29 месте среди лучших 50 глэм-альбомов. |

1986-й год... Группа Ratt уже стала частью элиты поп- и хэйр-металла, стилей к тому времени набравших огромную популярность. После двух успешных альбомов группе нужно было потратить все силы, чтобы превзойти или хотя бы закрепить успех выпущенных ранее пластинок. Закрепить закрепили, но вот превзошли ли? Нужно признать, что это был первый прокол коллектива, но тем не менее, пластинка всё равно вышла хорошей, а некоторые песни с неё стали настоящей классикой хэйр-металла ("Dance", "Slip of the Lip", "Body Talk"). Также на альбоме есть и очень хорошие песни, сыгранные с юношеским задором и огоньком, хорошими рифами от Уоррена ("Looking for Love", "7th Avenue", "It Doesn’t Matter" и финальная "Enough is Enough"), которые я лично просто обожаю. Оставшиеся две песни ("Drive me Crazy" и "Take a Chance") я считаю наименее выигрышными, но плохими я их назвать не могу. Группа погружалась в алкогольно-наркотический дурман, что и объясняет определённый творческий застой (опять-таки по сравнению с предыдущими работами). Качество записи само собой отличное, но звук приобрёл новые краски – он стал более жёстким и задиристым, что-ли (особенно в треках "Body Talk", "Looking for Love" и "It Doesn’t Matter"). Работа гитаристов тоже отлична, ритм-секция не отстаёт, а задорный вокал Пирси с хрипотцой только добавляет некоего хулиганского шарма работе. И самое главное – пластинка не напрягает, её хочется слушать одним треком. Исходя из этого, ставлю альбому восемь баллов (но авансом), ибо это не "Out of the Cellar" и не "Invasion of Your Privacy", а их достойный продолжатель, который не принёс чего-то нового. Да и можно ли уже было? |

You bite your tongue
You're feelin' so young
No cover-ups
You're never alone
If you hear the call
It's all for one
And one for all
Baby we can dance, dance, dance
Feel the heat of the rhythm
Feel the heat of my hand
Dance, dance, dance
I see the way that you're movin'
You need a little romance
You have pride, just try and fight
You'll take on anyone
Stupid pans and fans, no more laughs
It's only ten to one
It's gettin' late to worry 'bout a date
Still you have no one
Twist of fate, you know it's too late
You turn on everyone
When it's all done
You bite your tongue
You're feelin' so young

It Doesn't Matter
It doesn't matter what you do, where you go, who you see
Without me
It's blackjack, don't look back, your luck is runnin' out of hand
You're dealin' over me
Jet set, upset, make a mess that never ends
You've had enough, you see
(It doesn't matter) The clothes you wear
(It doesn't matter) If they stare
(It doesn't matter) If it's stop or go
(It doesn't matter) I don't need to know
It doesn't matter if it's Russian Roulette, it's not me
For free
You're so hot, you never stop, livin' life until you drop
It's not up to me
Out all night until the day, live your life some other way
It's still not up to me
(It doesn't matter) The clothes you wear
(It doesn't matter) If they stare
(It doesn't matter) If it's stop or go
(It doesn't matter) I don't need to know
Turnin' out the lights
For long weekend nights
Give me a reason why you're here
Again it's blackjack, don't look back, your luck is runnin' out of hand
You're dealin' over me
Jet set, upset, make a mess that never ends
You've had enough, you see
(It doesn't matter) The clothes you wear
(It doesn't matter) If they stare
(It doesn't matter) If it's stop or go
(It doesn't matter) I don't need to know
Turnin' out the lights
For long weekend nights
It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
Turnin' out the lights
For long weekend nights
(It doesn't matter)
(It doesn't matter) If they stare
(It doesn't matter) If it's stop or go
(It doesn't matter) I don't need to know
Take a Chance
Big deal, that's how you do it, hey!
Good luck and that's enough, yeah
First take, it's never too late
Cause I've been through it
Why don't we take a chance?
Hard times, it's alright
And you know that I've been through it
Mistakes, we all have made them
'Cause I've been through it
Why don't we take a chance?
Over and over
Over and over again
You might get lucky (Take a chance)
Forget the rough times (Take a chance)
We'll have to get it straight
'Cause I've been through it
Why don't we take a chance?
Cheap thrills, that's how you use it, hey!
So hot like it or not, yeah
Too much, I'm on the rocks
'Cause I've been through it
Why don't we take a chance?
Over and over
Over and over again
You might get lucky (Take a chance)
Forget the rough times (Take a chance)
We'll have to get it straight
'Cause I've been through it
Why don't we take a chance?
You might get lucky (Take a chance)

Hey, hey, hey
You feel that's how you do it
Good luck, that's enough

Enough Is Enough
I like the way you talk when you undress me
I like to take it off, yeah

If you care
You like the way I hold and squeeze you
You think it's way too much
I like the way you play so evenly
You know me
You know me
No more wastin' my time
'Cause enough is enough
Don't think you can buy time
'Cause enough is enough
I like the things you do when you tease me
I think you've said enough
I like the way you move me onto the floor
Do you know what's in store?
And do you want more?
No more wastin' my time
'Cause enough is enough
Don't think you can buy time
'Cause enough is enough. Is it love? Is it love?
'Cause enough is enough. Is it love?
