3.0 out of 5 stars It's traditional Quiet Riot from the classic line up, February 17, 2004

Quiet Riot's peak came early in their career with the albums "Metal health" (1983) and "Condition critical" (1984). After these two fine efforts it started to go down hill for the band, due to the influence of L.A. based hair metal. I guess Quiet Riot have been active in some kind of form and line up throughout the years but they have probably experienced how hard it can be in the rock 'n' roll business when you no longer are flavour of the month. With "Alive and well", the classic line up have come together for another shot at rock. I can't say that the material is bad or lousy but over all it hasn't the same attraction like songs from the albums mentioned above. Maybe that's what the guys felt since they have re-recorded some tracks. The new versions are good but some of these "old" songs are better in the original versions.

Some critics would say that DuBrow & Co haven't realized that some 15 years have passed since they were in the spotlight and on the covers. If that's good or bad is up to you to decide, but if you choose to go for this album you will definitely not find any nu-metal, grunge, or pop. This album is traditional Quiet Riot and if you like their other records, I'm pretty sure that you will like this one too. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Heavy Rock CD That Will Probably Be Unfairly Ignored, November 9, 1999

This is a great CD from a great band! Every song is a heavy rock classic. If you like their old stuff, you'll love this new stuff! One of the best CD's I've bought in quite a while, no filler at all! BUY IT!

4.0 out of 5 stars Quiet Riot back at in 99, April 26, 2004

I recently picked this one up along with Guilty Pleasures. This CD was a surprise for me. Kevin still has it {like it ever left). It had been quite a while since i picked up a QR cd. But i'm glad i did. This whole CD is great, well i could do with out "Slam dunk", that one i could just not get into. But other than that, the revisited classics made it all the worth! Way to go Kevin and Co. Now if we could just get Quiet Riot to get back at it again, but who knows. Looking forward to Kevins solo Cd this June.
