С новым вокалистом Полом Шортино в 1988 году «Quiet Riot» удалось записать всего один альбом, известный как «QR IV», а после ухода Банали в «W.A.S.P.» проект распался вторично. Тем временем ДюБроу отстаивал в суде своё право на название «Quiet Riot». В начале 90-х ДюБроу восстановил отношения с Кавазо, и при помощи барабанщика Бобби Рондинелли и басиста Кевина Хиллери они реанимировали вывеску «Quiet Riot».

На "Take Cover" Вас ждут выполненная в духе QUEENSRYCHE аранжировка "Welcome To The Machine" (PINK FLOYD), акустическая версия "For What It's Worth" (BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD) и зажигательная "живая" версия "Bullet The Blue Sky" (U2). "Мы бы никогда не сделали песни лучше оригиналов - написавших их людей не зря называют классиками, " рассказывает Tate. "Мы старались не превзойти авторов, а посмотреть на их творения с другой стороны. В результате песни приобрели очень интересные, порой неожиданные аранжировки".

Группа Queensryche скончалась уже давно, так что ожидать от нее чего-либо стоящего не приходится. "Tribe" продолжает серию непотребных альбомов, выдержанных в стилистике альтернативного рока пост-гранжевой школы. Пустота, одним словом. Единственную нормальную вещь "The Art Of Life" в контексте всего альбома нужно рассматривать не иначе как недоразумение.

То второй альбом, показавший растущее мастерство Роадса, был более сфокусированным. К моменту выхода «Quiet Riot II» басиста Келли Гарни сменил кубинец Руди Сарзо, причём на обложке диска Сарзо был отмечен как участник группы, хотя все басовые партии были записаны Гарни. Если эта замена прошла безболезненно, то последовавший в 1979 году уход Рэнди Роадса к Оззи Осборну явился тяжелым ударом для группы и привел к первому из её многочисленных распадов.

Когда состав был доукомплектован барабанщиком Дрю Форситом, квартет атаковал лос-анджелесскую клубную сцену. Однако если с концертами все складывалось более-менее удачно, то подписать контракт на запись альбома с каким-нибудь лейблом музыкантам никак не удавалось. В течение двух лет «Quiet Riot» тщетно пытались решить проблему, пока в 1977 году им не удалось наконец заключить контракт с «Sony» и записать свой первый альбом. Однако в продажу он поступил только в Японии, и в США не издавался.Если «Quiet Riot I» получился сыроватым и напоминал компот из «Sweet», «Alice Cooper» и «Humble Pie»,

В сентябре 1982 года продюсер Спенсер Проффер помог им подписать контракт с «CBS Records» в Америке, и в марте 1983 года вышел первый американский и самый знаменитый альбом «Quiet Riot» — «Metal Health». Диск через полгода после релиза преодолел платиновый рубеж и занял первое место в американском хит-параде, что для альбома металлической группы в 1983 году было просто неслыхано. Всего было продано более 6 миллионов копий. Сингл с кавер-версией хита группы «Slade» «Cum on Feel the Noize» продержался две недели на пятой позиции в чарте «Hot 100 singles» журнала Billboard и был первой за всю историю хэви-металлической композицией, попавшей в пятёрку лучших синглов США.

The Works is the eleventh studio album by the British rock band Queen, released on 27 February 1984 by EMI Records in the United Kingdom and it is the band's first studio album to be released by Capitol Records in the United States. After the synth-heavy Hot Space (1982), the album saw the re-emergence of Brian May and Roger Taylor's rock sound, while still incorporating the early 80s retro futuristic electronic music (Freddie Mercury) and New York funk scenes (John Deacon). Recorded at the Record Plant Studios in Los Angeles, California and Musicland Studios in Munich, Germany from August 1983 to January 1984, the album's title comes from a comment Taylor made as recording began – "Let's give them the works!" During the decade, after a negative reaction against and ban of the music video for "I Want to Break Free" in the United States, the band decided not to tour in North America and lost the top spot in U.S. sales, but sales around the world (especially Europe) would be even better. The Works has sold over 5 million copies worldwide.

The Miracle is the thirteenth studio album by the British rock band Queen, released on 22 May 1989 by Capitol Records in the US, it is the band's first studio album to be released by Parlophone Records in the UK. The album was recorded as the band recovered from Brian May's marital problems and Freddie Mercury's AIDS diagnosis in 1987 (which was known to the band, though not publicised at the time). Recording started in January 1988 and lasted for an entire year. The album was originally going to be called The Invisible Men, but three weeks before the release, according to Roger Taylor, they decided to change the name to The Miracle. It was also the last Queen album with a band photo on the front cover.

Queen II is the second studio album by the British rock band Queen. It was released on 8 March 1974 by EMI Records at midnight in the UK and by Elektra Records in the US. It was recorded at Trident Studios and Langham 1 Studios, London from February to August 1973 with co-producers Roy Thomas Baker and Robin Cable, and engineered by Mike Stone.

Made in Heaven is the fifteenth and final studio album by the British rock band Queen, released on 6 November 1995 on Parlophone and Hollywood Records. Until the release of Queen Forever in 2014, it was the final album containing original material featuring the band's original line up.
After Freddie Mercury's death, guitarist Brian May, drummer Roger Taylor, and bass guitarist John Deacon worked with vocal and piano parts that Mercury recorded before his death, adding fresh instrumentation to the recordings.
Both stages of recording, before and after Mercury's death, were completed at the band's studio in Montreux, Switzerland. The album debuted at #1 in the UK where it went 4× platinum. The album became a worldwide success, especially in Europe, selling over 5 million copies there, and more than 7.5 million around the world.

The album was recorded in a much different way from Queen's other studio albums. In early 1991, having completed work on Innuendo, and some months before his death, Freddie Mercury recorded as many vocals as he could, with the instruction to the rest of the band (Brian May, Roger Taylor, and John Deacon) to complete the songs later. Put to tape during this time were primarily "A Winter's Tale", "Mother Love" and what would eventually become "You Don't Fool Me".

Jazz is the seventh studio album by the British rock band Queen. It was released on 10 November 1978 by EMI Records in the United Kingdom and by Elektra Records in the United States. Produced by Roy Thomas Baker, the album artwork was suggested by Roger Taylor, who previously saw a similar design painted on the Berlin Wall. The album's varying musical styles were alternately praised and criticised. It reached #2 in the UK Albums Chart and #6 on the US Billboard 200. Jazz has sold over 5 million copies worldwide.

Innuendo is the fourteenth studio album by the British rock band Queen, released on 5 February 1991 by Parlophone in the United Kingdom and it is the band's first studio album to be released by Hollywood Records in the United States. Produced by David Richards and the band, it was the band's last album to be released in lead singer Freddie Mercury’s lifetime, and their most recent one to be composed of entirely new material. It reached the No. 1 spot on the UK album charts and stayed at that position for two weeks, and also peaked at No. 1 in Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, staying at No. 1 for three weeks, four weeks, six weeks, and eight weeks, respectively. It was the first Queen album to go Gold in the US upon its release since The Works in 1984.

There was no universal track listing or cover art for the Greatest Hits album, and each territory's tracks were dependent on what singles were released there and what tracks charted. In some cases, despite the band's popularity, not enough songs were issued as singles to fill a compilation album, and a few album tracks were used as filler. Some examples of these were "Sweet Lady" and "Love of My Life", neither was released as a single in any country, but appear on some regions' 1981 Hits release. In the UK and the US, where solid numbers could be collected, the album included only top 20 hits.
