THE REVIEW
Do you like Hard Rock in the style of Guns' and Roses, Poison & Co.? Then this CD absolutely must be part of your collection. The voice of Sebastian Bach (his real name!) alone is worth the purchase, and if we add songs that are nothing short of a kick in the ass... well, you decide. Let's start with track 1, "Monkey Business", very driving, with a truly powerful guitar riff that makes you want to mosh. "Slave To the Grind" (track 02) has a faster beat, somewhat punk-like, then continues with others in the Hard-Rock style in the truest sense of the word.
"Psycho Love" is very beautiful, with a scratchy bass and guitar intro, leading into the lovely rock ballad of track 9, "In A Darkened Room," and the tear-jerking final track, "Wasted Time," which nonetheless does not betray the Rock vein of the band and especially the wonderful voice of singer Sebastian Bach. Conclusion: for those who are already familiar with Skid Row but do not own this album, I can say that it is more mature in terms of songs and sound compared to previous ones; for others, I emphasize that for those who love the genre, this album simply cannot be missing, and it is probably the band's best (vying for the title with their first album "Skid Row").
Enjoy listening!

"A ticking time bomb, that's 'Slave To The Grind', the second badass album by Skid Row."
"Probably the best song on the album, level with 'Monkey Business'."
