The trajectory continued with albums such as Invasion Of Your Privacy (1985), Dancing Undercover (1986) , and Reach For The Sky (1988) , all achieving excellent positions on the Billboard charts. Even in 1990, with the changing musical landscape, the album Detonator (1990) maintained its success.
Ratt hasn't released new music since Infestation in 2010, but Stephen Pearcy has expressed his openness to the possibility of a new album with the surviving members of the band's classic lineup.
