the album condition critical is so underrated. all the songs are stright up sing along anthems yet the album hasn't even sold half of what metal health has. thats a crime. "bay boy" and "scream and shout" ftw

exactly. why is metal health somewhere between 6 and 7 million sol in the u.s. but condition critical is between 1 and 2 million

anybody other than me have every quiet riot album? if yes how would you rank them?

I'm missing a few. I still need the first two (with Randy Rhodes), Terrified, and Down To The Bone.

i'm not counting the first 2 with rhoads because they were never officially made on cd. there are bootlegs that look like factory pressed albums but they aren't. heres how i'd rank them not counting the 2 rhoads or the shortino album so you'll kick yourself for not have terrified.
1 metal health(a classic in metal, a good mix of what became metal and 70's sounding metal)
2 terrified (the heaviest QR album)
3 rehab (70's style hard rock)
4 condition critical (the songs are catchier than metal health but goofier too and theres nothing like "don't wanna let you go" or "breathless")
5 down to the bone (the most experimental QR album. hints of country, grunge, funk and reggae)
6 alive and well (very solid)
7 qrIII (a little poppy but the ballads are great)
8 guilty pleasures (very good but a little too rehashed sounding. its also missing a cover song which they always do great and helps out all the albums)

Have you heard the album with Paul Shortino? I've heard a song or two from it and what I've heard is OK, just not really Quiet Riot in my opinion. They probably should have called the band something else, but I get why they did it. They were having problems with Dubrow and the name Quiet Riot probably helped them sell a few more copies than another name would have.

i have the shortino album. its great but its not quiet riot. they should have called it rough riot or quiet cutt. a mixing of the 2 bands from which the members came from
