This is one of the best Cd’s Rose Tattoo has dropped to date. Since completing 1981’s ‘Out Of This Place’, Rose Tattoo fulfilled their contract with EMI Records and where under no obligation to release another album. On Assault and Battery album, Rose Tattoo have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. Great Rock: Hard-Rock right here!
I can’t stop humming along All The Lessons. In Let It Go the light shines equally on lyrics, vocals and instrumentation. I now have Assault and Battery as one of my personal favorites. Rose Tattoo has astounded me with this amazing track. Rock’n’ Roll Is King is probably the most interesting track on Assault and Battery. Manzil Madness which is my favorite is a truly Rose Tattoo sounding song. Chinese Dunkirk is absolutely incredible. This track is almost perfect, instrumentals and vocals combine awesomely. Suicide City is a perfect, simple song by Rose Tattoo at the top of his game.
