It was a Spencer Proffer production. What did you expect? :)

I have this on CD and I like it despite the "overproduction", which to me only translates to nicely arranged keyboards in the mix. Not sure I would like all my Quiet Riot album's done in the same way (but that ain't the case anyway, in fact, most of them have a different sound) however, the pop sensibility on this album is pleasing to my ears. Some very catchy tunes here. Surprised it didn't sell better, for which I personally blame the previous album " Critical Condition" for being the lowest point in the band's discography. By this time I think, lots of people dismissed them for a SLADE cover band.
