Condition Critical is the fourth studio album by Quiet Riot. The album was released in 1984. It was also given an infamous two-word review in Rolling Stone magazine: "Condition terminal."[2]

This album was not nearly as successful as its predecessor in either fan reaction or sales, although it did sell over 3 million copies, peaking at #15 on the U.S. Billboard album chart. Like the band's previous album, it also featured a Slade cover song as the second track.

The same man with a metal face and black-and-white striped shirt from the last album cover is on this cover.

The track "Stomp Your Hands, Clap Your Feet" was originally the American title to Slade's 1974 album Old New Borrowed and Blue.
