"QR III" Album Description:

Quiet Riot's 1986 album, "QR III", is a bit of a paradox. Though labeled as their third album, it's actually the band's fifth studio release and their third on a major record label. Despite the confusion in the title, "QR III" stands as a solid entry in Quiet Riot's discography, offering a blend of hard rock and heavy metal that captured the band's signature sound.

Released on Pasha Records, "QR III" features the classic lineup of Kevin DuBrow on vocals, Carlos Cavazo on guitar, Chuck Wright on bass, and Frankie Banali on drums. Produced by Spencer Proffer, who helmed the band's chart-topping "Metal Health" album, "QR III" doesn't quite reach those same heights, but it delivers a strong collection of energetic tracks.

The album opens with "Main Attraction," a powerful anthem that sets the tone for the record. Tracks like "The Wild and the Young" and "Twilight Hotel" showcase Quiet Riot's ability to craft catchy hooks without sacrificing their heavy edge. "QR III" also features a cover of Whitesnake's "Still of the Night," a testament to the band's diverse influences.

While not a commercial juggernaut like "Metal Health", "QR III" is a well-respected album among Quiet Riot fans. It showcases the band's tight musicianship and DuBrow's powerful vocals. Tracks like the instrumental bass solo "Bass Case" and the driving "The Pump" add a bit of variety to the record.
