(ektrorecords.com) I like Ratt, L-O-V-E Good Rats, and probably
listen to the Chipmunks every week, but if you ask me the greatest rodent rock
record of all time I’d probably say Rat at Rat R’s 1985 debut. It’s visceral
stabbings of anguished noisy experimental groovy rhythmic radical strangeness
make their predecessors, including Suicide, Sonic Youth, and the No Wave bands,
seem primitive, and no one has since made a post-punk record fundamentally
better than this. Maybe that’s hyperbole, but I challenge you this: find
another band making radical noise this important and solid from that era that
was also fun to listen to! This
reissue is god’s work!
