334. Quiet Riot / The Collection. 2000. 3.5/5

If we were going to be fair dinkum about this collection, you could pretty much just package together Metal Health and Condition Critical and you’d have a pretty similar result!

For a brief spurt in the 1980’s, Quiet Riot had a couple of hits (some they even wrote themselves) and were popular both in the mainstream and with metal fans. It didn’t last, and they found themselves back in the fold with their old fans soon enough.
This collection brings together their best known hits, such as “Metal Health”, “Cum On Feel The Noize” and “Mama Weer All Crazy Now”, and slaps a couple of live tracks in to keep the other songs company.

Rating: A good retrospective look at a band that probably could have done more. 3.5/5
