Search - Quiet Riot :: Qr III

Digitally remastered edition of this 1986 album from the L.A. Hard Rockers. QR III is, as the name suggests, the bands third album and showcases some major changes, not only musically but also on the personnel front; bassist Rudy Sarzo was replaced by Chuck Wright (from Giuffria). Showcasing a far more mature sound, the band introduced keyboards and featured song writing that suggested that they had finally come of age, relying less on simplistic shout-it-out-loud hooks and more on multiple layers of rich melody with impressive muscle. The arrangements were mature without giving way to syrupy lullabies or saccharin ballads. Rock Candy.
