"Quick the Word, Sharp the Action" is the fourth studio album by British based rock band Hundred Reasons, released October 15 2007. The album was recorded in Riga, Latvia and is the first album to feature guitarist Ben Doyle following the departure of founding member Paul Townsend in 2006.

The band's official website describes the album as being:

hewn from a particularly bleak period in the band’s history; friends tragically died, a founding member left, Colin was told he might never sing again. It’s the cathartic outpouring of a band going through a heartbreaking time but coming out the other side, stronger, better and smiling all the way. [http://www.hundredreasons.com/about.php]

Less than a month after the album's release, V2 Records was bought over by Universal, leaving the band, once again, without a label. Because of this, no further singles were released from the record. [http://www.hundredreasons.com/news.php?nw_id=78 Welcome to Hundred Reasons ] ] Planned b-sides for the "No Way Back"'s physical release, "Punctuality's Greatest Enemy" and "The Shredder (Astrocharger Mix)" were offered free of charge from the band's website.

In January 2008, the band announced plans to buy back the album, and re-release it on another label in May. In August 2008, the band announced that they now own the album, and plan to: "license it so that it might be in shops for more than a fortnight this time round! A Japanese release is in the works and will hopefully precede a tour of said country. Which would obviously be amazing." [http://www.hundredreasons.com/news.php?nw_id=83]

The band toured in October 2007, supporting Enter Shikari, and embarked upon a headline tour in January 2008.
