I too was excited to see 'Condition Critical' getting a sonic upgrade! Quiet Riot catches a lot of flak, but I really liked the band. I remember Kevin DuBrow talking about how he hated politics and preachy messages in his music - music should be fun, and make you feel good. And that's what Quiet Riot was about. They were colorful, they had a sense of humor, they had some good tunes and they played to their limited strengths. Much like Twisted Sister. And as a result, I've logged a lot of hours listening their joyous noise.

LOL As I'm typing this the hard rock playlist that's been playing for the last hour or so has just cued up "Party All Night"! Too funny..

Anyway, I ordered 'Condition Critical' and 'QR III' yesterday, and I'll be ordering the Shortino album as well, I suppose.
