Listen free to Ratatat – Classics (Montanita, Lex and more). Classics" remains resolutely instrumental, but the band has introduced a wealth of new sounds, from acoustic and slide guitar to sleigh bells and cello. Their vastly improved production and writing makes this record a refinement of their art. "Ratatat lay squealing metal harmonies over choppy Neptunes-style dance thumps, then break into pastoral waves of keyboard tone, riding dub tempos and hip-hop struts.

Classics for a reason! Ratatat did this album right! A smooth blend of electronic indie rock. 5/5. Reply Notify me Helpful. Best Ratatat Album by far!!! After hearing Montanita and loud pipes, I was hooked. Wildcat was my anthem at Penn State University. The gold sheen on the vinyl cover is delightful.

Forgive Ratatat their soundtracky innocuousness. People love this band's M83-on-Wellbutrin sound for its one great gimmick- multiple styles of music mashed together under digital anesthesia and performed with waiting room Muzak primness. They're the Urban Outfitters of recorded sound: everything chewed up, fed through a ringer, or otherwise digested, and handed down two years later to the kids as avant and edgy. Except Ratatat complicate things by busting mad hooks.

There is way too much rehashing of old material, and even revision of ideas inside the album itself to make this truly enjoyable.
