Metal Health was Quiet Riot's third album, released on March 11th, 1983, and is best known as the first '80s heavy metal album to reach the #1 spot on the Billboard 200, energized by the SLADE cover of 'Cum On Feel The Noize'. According to Wikipedia, it knocked THE POLICE's Synchronicity out of #1 in the US. The album went on to sell over six million copies in the US and triple platinum (300,000) in Canada.
