You hear some country song, and suddenly you *know* Mark Knopfler did the guitar work. Same with Ratatat; you hear some piece in the background of a Youtube video and the maker's mark is utterly unmistakable. Only once have I been fooled: when I asked a composer about a song, their response was, "It's my original composition, but I wanted it to sound like Ratatat."That's pretty high praise.Ratatat keeps up the good work with this album. I can't really say whether LP3 is better or worse than Wildcat or Classics, since Ratatat's music really defies that kind of thinking. Asking whether a particular Ratatat song is better than another song is like asking whether this lemonade is better than that tree; they are unique items with unique characteristics, and while some characteristics might objectively be viewed as making a positive or negative contribution, they can really only be viewed as parts of a broader soundscape. Each song contributes *richness* in different ways, like the layers of cake, and the total is greater than the sum of parts.What I can say, definitively, is that a world with 14 more Ratatat tracks is better in every way than a world with fewer Ratatat tracks.I rated this album 4-stars for only one reason: a few of the tracks use non-musical sounds as part of the basic rhythm (splashing water or scratching guitar strings, for example), and I feel like a few of these choices were distracting and did not fit with the whole composition.Edit added: I was composing a playlist recently and realized why Ratatat is so important to me. As I dropped ELO's *Yours Truly 2095* and a track by Daft Punk into the same playlist, I got to thinking that in decades of musical development, way too many things have stayed the same. Honestly, you could drop early-80s ELO into a club today and it would sound perfectly at home. You could send My Chemical Romance back in time, and they could do a double-header show with Cheap Trick and nobody would think it sounded strange. Eric Burdon of The Animals could sing right along with Rob Thomas and you'd never think that Mr. Thomas was the result of 40 more years of musical evolution. Don McLean and Beck could mix a new word salad, and the common thread would be unmistakable.That's why Ratatat is so important. It's unapologetically, unmistakably *new*, and breaks ground in musical sound. We need more of it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's Ratatat... *by D***A on April 14, 2019* This is an absolutely perfect instrumental album to listen to basically any time. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This album is awesome *by S***. on February 27, 2013* Lp3...What can I say? throw this on in some headphones and you'll be good for about an hour.Unless you've listened to another ratatat album right before, then your ears may hurt.If my hearing is gone when I'm old because of this, I think that's ok. I'll have heard enough by thenHUH?! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/29936500-3](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/29936500-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
