'''''Young and Restless''''' is the fourth studio album by Canadian [[Rock music|rock]] band [[Prism (band)|Prism]], released in 	May 1980 by [[Capitol Records]]. The album is notably the band's last studio album to feature lead vocalist Ron Tabak, and it is also the last album to feature their long-time producer, [[Bruce Fairbairn]].
The album was viewed negatively by the majority of music critics. It was also a commercial disappointment, being their first album failing to chart on the ''[[Billboard 200]]''. However, in 1980, ''Young and Restless'' did achieve Platinum status in Canada (in excess of 100,000 copies sold).
==Critical reception==
In a retrospective review for [[AllMusic]], critic Mike DeGagne wrote of the album "The solid instrumental sound and confident songwriting that they produced on their last recording have somehow disappeared, and even John Hall's synthesizers can't muster any redemption amongst the album's filler. Young & Restless showed signs of the band declining in all aspects, which was later confirmed on Prism's future releases."<ref name="AM"/>
