Too slick and poppy!.......2006-08-11

Let's face it, Quiet Riot didn't make great albums, but they sure did have some good headbanging tunes on their first two albums. For their third release, they decided to crank up the keyboards and go for a much poppier sound. Now I guess that would be okay if the songs were catchy, but they mostly aren't. I do like "The Wild And The Young" even though it is much too slick and overproduced. I also enjoy "Put Up Or Shut Up" as a good, dumb rocker. But that's it. The rest of this disc is quite forgettable.

The best QR album.......2005-06-26

I'm probably in the minority here, but I really think QRIII is the best album this band ever did (Metal Health is a close 2nd, though). It's also their most "pop metal" album, featuring more keyboards and de-emphasizing the guitar a little bit.

The whole first half of this disc is incredible, especially "The Wild & the Young," & "Twilight Hotel." Chuck Wright's bass solo "Bass Case" is pretty cool, as well. If you like QR, you probably already have this, but if you're new to the group, this is a great album to add to the collection.

Quiet Riot falls out of the limelight........2004-12-18

I remember when MTV had "The WIld and The Young" in heavy rotation. I was a good catchy anthem. True it was difficult watching Kevin DuBrow wearing that oversized poodle wig without cracking up. The man with no hairline for the last two albums now had Bon Jovi hair times 10!

The album has a couple good songs here and there like maybe "Put it up or shut it up." But this album has a lot to much synth and pop polish for my taste.

There must have been a misgiving with Kevin 'The Mouth' DuBrow because after this album he was tempoarily replaced for the next album 'Quiet Riot'. I heard he had been bad mouthing the prodcuer behind his back when the guy was actually standing behind HIS back!! HA ha, only in Rock n Roll.

One of the BEST albums of the 80's.......2004-11-19

This one stays in heavy rotation within my collection. Not ONE bad song on the disk.

A masterpiece...simply unforgettable.......2002-07-24

The song "Put Up or Shut Up" from this record says it all...my boys from QR know what's up.

If you don't own this record, you probably don't know rock. And if you don't know rock, then you should probably just put your headphones back on and finish up your lame Radiohead album.

QR is the real deal, folks, a better band than most.

I'D CHECK IT OUT!!!!
