Episode 69 is here, we finish our review of the 1983’s hit album, Metal Health by the band Quiet Riot! How will the second side fare after the two monster hits on the first side?
Metal Health is the third studio album by American heavy metal band Quiet Riot, released on March 11, 1983. The album spawned the hit singles “Cum On Feel the Noize” and “Metal Health“.
Metal Health was the first heavy metal album to reach number one on the Billboard 200 chart, replacing the Police‘s Synchronicity at number one in November 1983. Due to its commercial success, Metal Health is regarded by some as the catalyst that opened the door for hair metal’s immense popularity throughout the next several years. The album went on to sell more than ten million copies worldwide and over six million in the U.S. alone, being certified six-times platinum by the RIAA.
