In an effort to be taken more seriously, Ratt broke from the tradition of featuring a woman on the cover. Instead, they opted for gritty black-and-white portraits of each of the five band members. Likewise, the album does not contain a single power ballad amongst its ten tracks and even features experimental forays into thrashier and heavier sounds. The song that reflected this shift most strikingly was ” Body Talk “, which was featured on the soundtrack for the 1986 Eddie Murphy film The Golden Child . The more straight-ahead style of the album led many fans to believe that Ratt was headed in a direction akin to the thrash style promulgated by then-current bands such as Anthrax , Megadeth , and Slayer . However, the slightly experimental undertones of the album were replaced with a bluesier sound throughout the band’s next three releases.
