Heavy Traffic is the twenty-fifth studio album by English rock band Status Quo, and their first to feature drummer Matt Letley.

The album followed the reunion of Francis Rossi with writing partner Bob Young, who co-wrote many of the band's songs between 1968 and 1981.

"I'm aware that the last couple of albums have upset some of our fans," remarked Rossi.

"This new album's in a whole different league," added Rick Parfitt.
