Greatest Album Ever.......2006-10-05

This is quite simply my favorite album of all time.
Bachs voice is extraordinary and he really unleashes his full fury on this album. This ain't "hair-metal", its heavy metal, and if you love heavy metal, then you'll love this album.

Rocks with controlled abandon.......2006-06-29

'Bass as he is known now because of the Super Group TV show on VH 1,is a rock legend, and rightfully so. He has pipes and knows how to use them. This is a classic 80's rock fest with all the power and verve to make you grit your teeth. Production could use a little tweaking, like a lot of the 80's CD's. A little bright, not enough mids. There is a reason that Skid Row still sells. This is good,crafted, and well sung rock. More original sounding than Poison or Warrant. More melodic than Anthrax or Motorhead. Great to play over and over, which I think is what the hair bands gave us. Don't think, just rock. Check out the underated Blue Murder CD made by John Sykes who was the guitarist and side singer for Whitesnake. If you like the 'Row, you will love Blue Murder. Great vocals too!

If this doesn't get you moving, check your pulse..........2006-05-13

Guns n' Roses and Skid Row were by far and away my two favorite bands during the late 80s/early 90s. In truth, Skid was a distant second, but second nontheless. They toured together in the summer of 1992 and I got the chance to see them when they came to my hometown. Wow! What a show. I had their first one and was expecting more "18 and life", and "I remember you" type stuff. "In a Darkened Room", "Quicksand Jesus", and "Wasted Time" are in that same mold. But, the rest of this disc is heavy metal at its absolute finest.

"Monkey Business", "Slave to the Grind", "Living on a Chain Gang", and "Mudkicker" are some of the heaviest and best songs ever recorded. Heavy doesn't always make it good. Hard rocking doesn't always make it heavy. But it all comes together - completely together - on Slave to the Grind. What these guys did on this disc is absolutely amazing. This is no doubt a timeless classic.

Definitely NOT 'WASTED TIME'.......2006-04-27

This is the second Skids album and on tape it was a bit different, there's one song here that I had never heard before (Get The F*** Out). This album is tough, edgy, social and totally reflects the time it was written in (drugs, corporate greed, futility - all that fun stuff). I love most all the songs on this CD but I think my favorites are 1) Psycho Love - a whole lot of fun and strangeness; 2) Creepshow - girl kicks boy in the teeth, is she trying to tell him something?? and 3) Wasted Time - a best friend sinks into the deadliness of drugs while those that love him watch - devastating!

Solid second effort from the guys - can't miss it!

Slave to the Grind was Skid Row's first #1 album in the 90s.......2006-01-20

In 1991, Skid Row landed #1 on the Billboard 200 albums with Slave to the Grind and this album is one of the hardest metal albums of all-time. Second only to Metallica's Black Album and Megadeth's Countdown to Extinction. Nirvana found success with Nevermind, a multi-million selling album and yet Nirvana was a one hit wonder. Nirvana created grunge metal and they were the pioneers for bands like Pearl Jam and Stone Temple Pilots. Skid Row's "Monkey Business" was a #1 video on Muchmusic and Slave to the Grind was a darker heavier single. Even the ballads were more bleaker with "Wasted Time" about the evils of drug addiction. "In a darkened room" is a great song and "Quicksand Jesus" is another classic ballad from Skid Row.

Poison, Motley Crue, Guns N' Roses, Metallica, Warrant and Skid are the best bands from the 80s and 90s.

Nirvana was revolutionary but their success was short-lived and #1 single "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is a classic but Nirvana is a one-hit wonder.

Skid Row's Slave To The Grind ranks as one of the best metal albums of all-time.

However, Metallica's Black Album is the landmark metal album and still influences artists today in 2006.
