slave to the grind
they manage to go in an even harder direction on their 2nd release. no more sophmore slump here. like said by other reviewers, skid row get lumped in with all the "hair metal "bands, but they're not.


Sophmore Effort
I looked up it went to number one on the charts upon its initial release. This is the second studio album from bad boy Sebastion Bach and company. Worthy followup to its classic predessecor and features more religous themes. Key tracks are: Monkey Business, the title track and Wasted Time. .


A Masterpiece
The band is top notch here. One of the greatest hard rock albums ever made. Bach sounds amazing. The song writing is superb! Monkey Business, Slave to the Grind, Wasted Time, In a Darkened Room, Quicksand Jesus, Living on a Chaingang, Riot Act, Mud Kicker. . . and so on. All perfect songs. . . perfect!

Seriously, they don't get any better than Slave to the Grind. Get it now!.


Bach and Co. Deliver
It's an angrier, heavier Skid Row on this album than on their self-titled debut, and it works. This is one hell of an '80s hair metal (even though the CD dropped in 1991) album. Standout heavy tracks include the title track, Slave to the Grind, Mudkicker, Monkey Business, and Psycho Love. Creepshow is another really good track, and Quicksand Jesus is a solid ballad. The only negative I can say about this album is that it has three ballads, one of which (In A Darkened Room) is a poor song that should not have made the cut; an album this heavy should not have two ballads, let alone three. All in all, though, a really good album which should be in any hair metal fan's collection.


The Best Hard Rock Disc Period
Think I am kidding? I'm not. Every time I go back and listen to "Slave to the Grind" I am reminded that this is the greatest hard rock record ever made. It is a tour-de-force from start to finish. The songs are killer, the guitar in your face, the vocals unreal. It does not get any better than this for this genre. Whatever your opinions of Skid Row or "hair metal", it doesn't matter. It is that good. If you don't own it; you need to!.
