Segundo álbum de estudio de esta banda norteamericana de Hard Rock y Heavy Metal clásico. Publicado originalmente en 1979, ésta es la edición remasterizada por Rock Candy Records en 2005, una pequeña discográfica especializada en reeditar clásicos de los 70 y 80.
De Wikipedia Segunda entrega y clara consolidación de la banda, que asomaba entre las calles de Brooklyn con serias aspiraciones de traspasar los rascacielos de Manhattan. Narita brinda hard rock de peso, con buenos fundamentos para rivalizar con la emergente generación NWOBHM del Reino Unido. La pérdida del guitarrista L.A. Kouvaris había sido suplida con la entrada de Rick Ventura, una de las figuras claves de los primeros Riot. Waiting For The Taking era una entrada inusual pero capaz de transmitir el potencial de una banda que seguía fundando su magia en las guitarras de Reale, unidas a la voz de Guy Speranza. 49er era otro claro ejemplo. Kick Down The Wall es uno de esos himnos que ejemplifican el sonido hard rockero de aquellos primeros Riot, esencia pura de una banda que apuntaba maneras únicas. El Born To Be Wild de Steppenwolf, personalizado por la voz de Speranza, era otra declaración de intenciones mientras la instrumental Narita viraba claramente hacia el heavy rock, con el que tantos lazos les uniría a Europa. Las guitarras marcaban su territorio en Here We Come Again mientras que el hard & heavy emergía en Do It Up. Riot nunca fue una banda de baladas, sin embargo había temas como Hot For Love que sí buscaban un tono más melódico y pegadizo. White Rock fue el paso previo al gran clásico del disco: Road Racin’, que al igual que Warrior en el debut, se convertiría en una de las piezas esenciales de la banda en directo.

2005 Rock Candy remastered edition of this album originally edited in 1979.
From RateYourMusic: Riot... a band that Eddie Trunk (XM Radio's The Boneyard and VH1 Classic's That Metal Show) recently described as the type of rock group that one only knows about (if at all) due to word-of-mouth. That description is dead-on, as the Brooklyn based Riot hardly received the hype needed (and deserved) early on from their record label, and never benefitted from radio airplay. I recall vividly the very day that I was clued into the hard edge rock and metallic roll of the Riot squad... and I have been a fan of the group ever since the day that I was introduced to the group.
Always workin' on a shoe-string budget, Riot was constantly in personnel flux. However, the early years, with Guy Speranza fronting the group and the ever-present Mark Reale on guitar, were punctuated by lean 'n' mean recordings, peaking with the muscle-bound Fire Down Under LP in 1981.
With heads down aggression and authority, Reale and Speranza pushed Riot though the paces on their second studio LP, the blistering Narita in 1979. The hard hitting Narita is a marked improvement over Riot's finding-our-legs studio debut album Rock City (1977).
Riot's sophomore release bangs out big time rock 'n' roll voltage, as the boys storm out of the gates with "Waiting for the Taking", followed by the spirited, wild West gold rush rockin' "49er". "Kick Down the Wall" is blown out behind an repetitive riff that rules, which is chased by a capable cover of the time-honored black leather clad biker anthem "Born to Be Wild", and the hyper-instrumental title track. Reale is the star of the "Narita" show. "Here We Come Again", "Do It Up" and the heated "Hot for Love", continue to bring the heat.
However, the main mover from Narita is saved for the final cut, as the raging "Road Racin'" rips. The four-minute-plus "Road Racin'" is an all-out foot-to-the-floor rush of power 'n' energy. The gear-shiftin' "Road Racin'" is one of the all-time greatest driving songs ever recorded, as it ranks with such rubber burnin', pavement pounding cuts as Deep Purple's legendary "Highway Star", and Golden Earring's "Radar Love". Songs that provide a soundtrack for a hot summer day, a wide-open ribbon of open highway, and a 1969 Ford Mach I Mustang. Just don't redline!
Finally re-issued in the compact disc format, Narita is a hammer-down set of ten tenacious tracks. Riot will never garner the attention that they justly deserved, while many lesser acts have flourished, but those that were informed along the way by the all-important word-of-mouth have been kicked in the ass by Riot.
