█ THE GENERAL consensus of opinion about Quiet █
█ Riot's career trajectory is that they started off █
█ taking a rocket ride to the stars - their debut █
█ album sold in excess of ten million copies - only █
█ to embarrassingly crash and burn just a few short █
█ years later. Commercially speaking that was a true █
█ account of the situation, but on a musical level █
█ many agree that the band's output was inversely █
█ proportional to their chart decline, getting █
█ better and more inventive as time moved on. █
█ The band's reached their nadir following the █
█ release of "Quiet Riot III", when their outrageous █
█ front man Kevin Dubrow was summarily fired from █
█ the line-up. They intended to carry on under a █
█ new moniker and looked to modify their sound, █
█ whilst searching for a replacement vocalist. They █
█ quickly settled on ex Rough Cutt singer Paul █
█ Shortino, developed a chest thumping blues rock █
█ style and met with their record company about █
█ recording a new album, only to be told that █
█ contractually, and for commercial reasons, they █
█ would have to continue using the Quiet Riot name. █
█ Despite the odds stacked against them the band's █
█ final album, curiously self tiled, originally █
█ released in 1988 was a spectacular statement, █
█ drinking from the same bluesy well as Whitesnake, █
█ Rainbow and Dio. Paul Shortino's vocals are both █
█ impressive and effective, whilst the songs are █
█ little short of spectacular, leaving nobody in any █
█ doubt that had this project been launched as a █
█ brand new entity they might well have gained a new █
█ lease of life to rival their original success. █
█ █
█ 24-bit remastering from original source tapes, █
█ 4,000 word essay about the making of the album, █
█ full band invlovement and additional previously █
█ unseen photos spread out over a 16 page full █
█ colour booklet. █
