Reach for the Sky by Ratt
Reach for the Sky is an album by Ratt, released in 1988. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 1 countdown appearance in total. The biggest is “Way Cool Jr.”, on 1 list with a best position of #501.
Reach for the Sky, Ratt's fourth album, came out on Atlantic on November 3, 1988, with Beau Hill producing, and it's the Los Angeles glam metal crew doing what they did best: Stephen Pearcy's sneer out front, Warren DeMartini and Robbin Crosby trading hot-wired guitar lines, and Juan Croucier and Bobby Blotzer keeping the strut steady underneath. The riffs are glossy, the choruses are built for arenas, and "Way Cool Jr." is the song from it that made the countdowns.
One oddity for the trivia file: for all the album's title, the band's song "Reach for the Sky" isn't on it.
