"Slave to the Grind", released in 1991, is the second studio album by the American rock band Skid Row & followed their self-titled debut album, which had achieved significant commercial success. "Slave to the Grind" marked a notable evolution in the band's sound, showcasing a heavier and more aggressive style compared to their debut.
The album features a blend of hard rock and heavy metal elements, with powerful guitar riffs and a more mature lyrical approach. Gone are the good time party/girls/sweet little sister-esque tunes of the debut, replaced with lyrics about societal issues, strange folk & ‘The Man’. Obs being Skid Row, they also included their kind of weird, dark ballads as well as Sebastian Bach’s trademark scorching vocals.
The album holds the distinction of being the first metal album to debut at number 1 on the Billboard 200 & is probably regarded nowadays as a most-forgotten classic. So what better time, nearly 34 years later to give our opinions on the album track by track.
