Quiet Confidence

Playlist: The Very Best of Quiet Riot features 15 tracks defined on the back jacket as "the life-changing songs, the out-of-print tracks, the hits, the fan favorites everyone loves, and the songs that make the artists who they are." While it may boast little in the way of rare, live, unreleased, or "out-of-print" material, it certainly eclipses 1996's Greatest Hits collection as the most listenable Quiet Riot overview on the market. All 14 tracks (15 is a CD-ROM cut) are culled from the group's three biggest albums – Metal Health (1983), Condition Critical (1984), and QR III (1986) – and while many listeners may only know the group's breakout hit, a cover of Slade's "Cum on Feel the Noize," the band consistently turned out its own quality pop-metal during its mid-'80s heydays.

Many heavy metal fans will agree that Quiet Riot's peak occurred during 1983 and 1984, when the quartet's mugs were constantly plastered all over MTV, and Metal Health and Condition Critical were two of the genre's top sellers. As a result, it seemed inevitable that a "rarities" set that focused specifically on those years would emerge, and in 2005 Live and Rare, Vol. 1 appeared. On the one hand, there's no denying the party atmosphere the band cooks up on such live tracks as "Let's Get Crazy" and "Metal Health" – you can easily imagine an arena filled with finger-less glove/headband wearing, mullet-sporting headbangers whooping it up.

IC Executive Producer, Mark Sakautzky: "Every week I go through numerous demo-tapes from all over the world, and rarely have I encountered music that was so abundant with lively, living and vital energy than this debut album by Quiet Force.
Music is always at its best when it reflects lite as opposed music that has been carefully manufactured, produced, made, styled. These guys not only made me sit up and take notice, they made me really listen and I amply felt their happy rhythms, their heartfelt emotion, their love of life. This music just wraps around you like a comfortable blanket. You can dance too, you can make lonely you can let yourself go with it, but best of all: fly a kite to it…
