Condition Critical was the follow-up album to Quiet Riot's smash hit Metal Health. The album was released in 1984. It was also given an infamous two-word review - "condition terminal."[citation needed] This is widely believed to have inspired the Spinal Tap joke about 'Shark Sandwich' having the two-word-review "sh*t sandwich.

This album was not nearly as successful as its predecessor in either fan reaction or sales, although it did sell over 3 million copies, debuting at #15 on the billboard charts.[citation needed] Like the band's previous album, it also featured a Slade cover song as the second track.
