Once boasting the guitar talents of Randy Rhoads who went to join Ozzy O, Quiet Riot remain a cult act in the metal world, despite, when looking back on this record, all I hear is very basic rock music, very cliched and a cover of Slade's 'Cum On Feel The Noize' which gained them heavy rotation on MTV. 'Lets Get Crazy', 'Run For Cover', 'Breathless' and 'Dont Wanna Let You Go' certainly bring to mind the 'Trick Or Treat' heavy metal movie, as their message is clear as standard anthems. Nothing spectacular here, Kevin Dubrow's vocals do add depth to the recording, and I recall the cover alone spell-binding many kids who were flicking through the lp racks.
Not quite ground-breaking metal but for its time it remains as solid as stone.
6/10
