QR III (or Quiet Riot III) is the fifth studio album by American heavy metal band . Released in July 1986, it sticks to the melodic sound of the previous two albums, and Condition Critical, but adds keyboards.


Background
Following the massive success of Metal Health and the more modest success of Condition Critical, sales of QR III were lower, reaching only No. 31 on the US charts and not achieving any certification. It marked Quiet Riot's fall from stardom as only one more of the band's following releases entered the charts at all.

It's the first Quiet Riot album to feature Chuck Wright, formerly of , on bass as an official member. He previously played bass on 2 tracks from Metal Health. He departed soon after, but rejoined the band on an on/off basis over for years.

The lead single, "The Wild and the Young"'s accompanying video painted an Orwellian picture of the future, where totalitarian militarists fought to wipe out rock and roll — a reference to the Senate hearings concerning explicit language in metal songs. The video received active rotation on MTV. Another video for the promotional single "Twilight Hotel" only managed to get light rotation.
