Quickness is the fourth full-length studio album from hardcore punk and reggae pioneers Bad Brains. At the time of its release, it was the best selling Bad Brains album and also featured an MTV video for the lead-off track "Soul Craft." Drummer Earl Hudson, though pictured on the cover, is absent, the drum parts instead being performed by Mackie Jayson of the Cro-Mags.

The album was a crossover release that contained elements of several genres, including funk, hip hop, heavy metal, punk, and reggae, which made a notable return after being absent from 1986's I Against I.
