OVERVIEW

Quiet Riot were one of the first of a new breed of metalers in the 80’s. They hit pay dirt with Metal Health, but failed to match it ever again. Now all these years they’ve come to deliver a reunion album with lead man Kevin DuBrow.

SONGS

The ball gets rolling in heavy rocking style with Free, this is classic Quiet Riot and fans will be relieved. All the trademark sounds are here and DuBrow sounds the same as he always did. Mean verses and melodic chorus’, they’ve still got it. Blind Faith is another Quiet Riot standard, great atmospheric verses and a balls out sing-a-long chorus, great stuff. They start to groove along with South Of Heaven, another great mid-paced rocker that plods along. Black Reign is flooded with some sensational drum work and turns out to be a decent rocker. The Quiet boys slow down a little for the bluesy-like Old Habits Die Hard and although it takes a while to get there, it turn out to be a great number, awesome chorus with a little gospel quire back-up, an album highlight. Back to the rockers with Strange Days, which actually touches on industrial flavours at times, could’ve been great, ends up boring. In Harms Way builds up to be another massive anthem; it doesn’t get there but turns out to be a decent groove. Beggars and Thieves starts out nicely; it soon turns to a standard Quiet Riot affair, but delivers another great melodic chorus. Don’t Think is just another boring Quiet Riot rocker that they could churn out in their sleep. Fortunately It Sucks To Be You picks things up again with a feel-good melodic rocker, another album highlight that helps strengthen the albums second half. They un-characteristically finish things off with the slow dinosaur rock of Deep Purplish; Evil Woman. Although this 9-minute jam fest contains some great lead work, the backbone of the song is boring and stale.

CONCLUSION

To put it simply, if you love Quiet Riot you should love this album. If you hate Quiet Riot you will hate it. They deliver all of their trademark sounds as if the band was still on its first legs. Great production and playing give this album a real freshness though. There is gallons of space in the music as Quiet Riot always had, preferring to keep things going with power chord stabs and DuBrows growl. It’s a decent solid effort and although it has a few great rockers, it fails to deliver any classics along the line of Metal Health or Condition Critical.
