This Is Rock'n'Roll is rock band the Quireboys's third studio album, it is the first album recorded after the band re-united. Their last album before this was recorded in 1993.
Critical reception
Greg Pratt of Exclaim! described the album as "one of the best rock and roll albums to come out in a long time", subtracting the glam and adding maturity to "the gritty, dirty, melancholy pub rock of old".[2] Essi Berelian of Classic Rock magazine regards This Is Rock 'n' Roll as superior to their previous album, Bitter Sweet & Twisted, and one of their "best, most coherent" records.[3]
