│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Behold, part two of Quiet Riot's underrated albums that ║ │
│║ nobody knows about. Quiet Riot II is nothing shy of a ║ │
│║ continuation of the very first album, as the songs ║ │
│║ structure, style, lineup, and overall sound and production ║ │
│║ is basically the same. It's just as if they decided to ║ │
│║ churn out nine more spectacular tracks to top off their ║ │
│║ underground career before Metal Health would take over the ║ │
│║ metal scene. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ A main difference that this album has is the fact that the ║ │
│║ pace is slowed down a noticeable amount, however not so low ║ │
│║ that it sounds completely new. While the predecessor took a ║ │
│║ fast and fun kind of approach, these songs are rather ║ │
│║ relaxed sounding and probably not as heavy either. With ║ │
│║ that, they are also significantly longer, which allows for ║ │
│║ more guitar work by Randy Rhoads. Sadly, this is the last ║ │
│║ full length album that he appears in. The problem with the ║ │
│║ longer lengths is the fact that some of it may seem like ║ │
│║ filler, which is really the only reason I docked a few ║ │
│║ points here. Plus, the guitar work wasn't quite as ║ │
│║ impressive as on the first one, but still good to jam to. ║ │
│║ Other than that, all of the tracks make for a spectacular ║ │
│║ listen, just like the first one, and it's just as ║ │
│║ underrated. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Let's talk about a famous one, "Slick Black Cadillac". As ║ │
│║ many know, this appears as track four on the next album, ║ │
│║ but that was actually a re-recording. Here, it's not as ║ │
│║ amplified, but it's more laid back and the vocal work is ║ │
│║ more melodic. Not to mention that the chorus sounds better, ║ │
│║ and they add a little intro to this one. This one is one of ║ │
│║ my favorite tracks, as well as "Eye For An Eye" as it ║ │
│║ carries a very steady beat and displays great riffage and ║ │
│║ vocal work. "Inside You" is also pretty good, and if you ║ │
│║ listen closely, the main riff sounds like "Wild Thing" by ║ │
│║ The Troggs. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Something else that this record seemed to incorporate a ║ │
│║ little more was the gang vocals. Those were hardly used ║ │
│║ before, but on here it was introduced a little more. As ║ │
│║ most know, Quiet Riot would eventually use this as a ║ │
│║ signature sound of theirs. This was where it was tampered ║ │
│║ with some more and was heavily used more years down the ║ │
│║ road. The overall sound on this should vanish from the ║ │
│║ bands career and they would never release anything like ║ │
│║ this one again. As I mentioned on the review of their ║ │
│║ debut, I highly recommend giving it a listen. If you like ║ │
│║ the first one, you're sure to like this one. The pair ║ │
│║ basically go hand in hand. ║ │
