Quinella is the tenth album by AmericanSouthern rock band Atlanta Rhythm Section, and their only album on Columbia Records, released in August 1981. The band was supposed to release another album on the label, but due to differences between Columbia and the band, the album was shelved.[1]
The album peaked at #70 on the Billboard 200. Its only single, "Alien", peaked at #29 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming their final Top 40 hit.[2][3]
The Boston Globe wrote: "As always, there is an abundance of sinewy, unabrasive guitars, smooth backup harmonies, and a soft punctuating bottom, all in a conservative tempo. But the style is so hygienic the album is difficult to get excited about."[5]
