| Ratt in the Raw, before the over-produced albums of later years. This is one of their best, even if it is an EP. I think this had a better version of Back For More than Out Of The Cellar did. I like the extended intro. You think You're Tough rocks, Walkin The Dog has an awesome groove going on. This is a must have for any Rocker

| I am sorry for Robin Crosby(R.I.P.). This was is favorite Ratt's album. He was a very fine guitar player and He really look cool. I remember a very nice video of the song You think you're tough, with Juan Croucier that sing a part of this track.

| Whenever I play "You Think Your Tough" I feel like an animal, that song gets me going more than any song on this album, I love every song on this album but, "You Think Your Tough" is my favorite.

| Great debut! Nice n' dirty, the way RATT are meant to be. They should seriously re-issue this on cd with some of their other early songs/demos. Some early RATT material popped up on Stephen Pearcy's "Before & Laughter" cd.

| Agreed, this is a classic release, and you just have to love Ratt and everything they did, as they got even better with time. I find that this band gets some unjust and unfair criticism within the 80's rock scene, which is puzzling since this is one of the most talented bands I can think of, ever, of all-time... Great musicians, and Pearcy is one of those guys that never seems to amaze me as time goes on, he continues to impress me til this day, truly a unique charater that Pearcy is!!!

| I do love Ratt, just not everything they did was stellar. There are other albums they put forth I enjoy much more.

| IMHO RATT peaked with Invasion of Your Privacy and slowly rolled down the hill for there. I never really cared for this when I had the tape but I'll still pick this up on CD the next time I see it now that it's been reissued due to the simple fact that I'm one of those "die-hard" fans. The way I look at it you gotta support the bands that kept you rocking back in the day!

| ROBBIN "KING" CROSBY PLAYED A B.C.RICH WARLOCK ON THE E.P. DOES ANYONE HAVE PICS OF HIM WITH A WARLOCK?

| MUCH heavier than any of their later material. Stripped down sound with no big dollar production, but some of us like it that way! 20+ years later, this is the only RATT release that still gets played on a regular basis in my stereo. Like lots of other bands, the 1st release is the best one & this is no exception IMO. Wish they could have retained this heavier sound instead of being turned into another commercialized mainstream statistic...

| I wonder is this album glam,hard rock or heavy metal cause it got all three of them put together. Oh well,they are combination of all which implies what a genius of a band i'm listening to.

| The only regret bout this album is it got only 6 songs. Don't get me wrong,i like all of them very much and all of them are 'top class'

| Finally got lucky enough to find a copy of this. Although half the songs were on their Ratt And Roll 8191 album, I wanted to have it for the rest of their classic material. This is Ratt at it's best, pure sleaze/glam/hard rock.

| i listen that one for a few times but i just dont like it.The albums they released after this one were much better.But thats only my opinion. The only 2 songs that i like from that one are:"u got it" and "back for more"(much better is out of the cellar version of that song).

| Maybe rockhardrock the problem (If you can call this a problem) was that the sound of the band was rougher than in their long-lenght debut .If you listen to "Sweet Cheater" and "You Think You're Tough" (by far the best songs from the ep)you realize that the band was meant to be "big".Only for the 2 songs afordmentioned...10/10

| Out of the blocks with the slash and burn of `sweat cheater` this is a lean and mean RATT with no pretensions towards becoming the preening hard rock poster boys of later years, instead we get a metallic slab of gutter infused nastiness mixing muscle with melody and a heavy European influence making this as valid in Berlin or London as it is to Los Angeles (this ain`t no sunshine soaked ode to life but a grime infested howl from the wildside) 87/100

| I have the CD with Born on the Bayou and Nobody Rides for Free on it. You Think You're Tough is the stand out on this disc and the rest are solid tracks from Ratt. This is almost as good as their first two - and best - albums.

| Very true HMA, but it is a hard CD to track down. Took me years and my disc may even be a bootleg, I have no idea. If you can't find the EP, you can get two songs on the excellent Ratt & Roll compilation (Tell the World and the best track You Think You're Tough). Sweet Cheater is the other essential track. Ratt redo Back For More on their first album. Grade A.

| Without Beau Hill, or the big budget that paid for him, Ratt sound a lot more raw and rough. Also, Warren DeMartini wasn't yet dominating on guitar, so Robbin Crosby's heavier, less polished style is more prevalent. I have nosjced that this EP is unavailable on Apple Music, although if you search for "You Think You're Tough" by title, you can find it on some compilation.
