Free Music Notes for Slave to the Grind
Free Music Review: One of the best...........
Hit: 5 Stars
Just think if Skid Row could have stayed together. Their first album was excellent. And then this follow-up is even better. In fact, it was maybe the best hard rock album of the early 90's. There is not a bad song here. It didn't have the HUGE 3 hits like the last one did, but this is an all-around better record. "Monkey Business" was the lead-off single and was great. "Quicksand Jesus", "In A Darkened Room", & "Wasted Time" are all excellent ballads. They are not sappy at all and shows that even heavy bands can do ballads. I still don't know how Sebastian Bach can even talk anymore. At the end of half of these songs, he just screams and holds his voice so long, I thought he would just pass out in mid-singing. This album is much heavier than their first one. It's a good lead in to their next record, which was their heaviest. I don't really have any 'favorites' other than the songs I menioned. Every song here is good, and this is one of my favorite CD's to this day. Buy this now.Free Music Review: oh man

THis was there 2nd ablum and they shouldn't have made it. It got to close to speed metal. I didn't want fast music I wanted heavy metal.Free Music Review: Heavy

Far heavier and better than the 1st album. This isnt pop-metal. This is just metal. Great songs with balls. If you like this one check out Sword - Metalized, Spread Eagle, Armored Saint and Nightmare - The Darkside. All heavy and angry with good hooks.Free Music Review: All time classic album!

This album from Bach and the boys is simply awesome, if you love hard rock, then this album is for you. I can honestly say that i have never heard a better singer (screamer?) than Sebastian Bach. His vocal ability is unbelieveable! he has incredible range, how he doesnt run out of breath on certain songs, "Darkened room" "quicksand jesus" is a mystery. Apart from that, the Music and songs are awesome ranging from the deep hard hitting songs, Darkened room, Wasted time and Quicksand jesus to the more "party anthems" of Monkey business (listen for bachs opening scream...awesome!) and Riot act. This is one of those albums that you can just listen to all the way through, no tracks to skip, just hard rocking all the way through (with a couple of ballads of course). Each member of the band is superb, excellent heavy riffs that will stay in your mind all day, awesome drumming from Rob Affuso and a cool base line throughout the album. In short this is one of the best hard rock albums ever created, right up alongside the likes of Guns n'roses, appetite for destruction and metallicas "black" album. if you havent got it......go get it now!!!!Free Music Review: the greatest voice EVER

ok. let me begin with a disclaimer: i do not, in any way, shape, or form, condone eighties hair metal (featuring, Poison and their ilk). but i like Skid Row. A LOT. and it kind of [irritates] me off that such a great hard rock band is so carelessly lumped in with all of that other spandex/hairspray trash. so Sebastian Bach had great hair. so what? he also had a great voice. no, INCREDIBLE. breathtaking. moving, emotional, expressive, clear, POWERFUL, big and beautiful. just a few adjectives. for those of you who denounced the Skids after listening to their admittedly weaker debut, don't pass them off for Bon Jovi just yet. other than the obvious "Youth Gone Wild," "Eighteen & Life," and "I Remember You" (guilty aural pleasures for anyone who was seventeen in the summer of 1989), the debut was really no more that pop metal fluff with a little bit of an extra edge on what everyone else was doing. so do yourself a favor and give "Slave to the Grind" the chance it deserves.For me, this record almost surpasses "Appetite for Destruction" by the late, great Guns'N'Roses. With the exception of 2 weak songs, "Riot Act" and "Creepshow," there is truly not a dull moment. This album was Skid Row's rite of passage, their coming into their own in the rock world. it's a representation of their departure from the generic metal of their debut. Yeah, the hard songs kick, big time. But no matter how hardcore a rocker you are, there is absolutely no denying "In a Darkened Room" and "Wasted Time." Oh, my God. I had always thought Sebastian Bach was hot. I ain't gon' lie. But it really wasn't until i heard his voice on these two songs, pleading, bleeding, needing, and tortured, that i really fell in love with the man. he is just spectacular. these two songs are my idea of exactly what a song should be. no matter what's going on, as long as they're playing, all is KOOL in my world. so, in conclusion to my rather lengthy review (i love this record so much that i didn't even say a quarter of what i'd wanted to), i just want to say that you would be doing yourself a great injustice if you didn't get this record. you owe it to yourself! (and to Sebastian just because of that voice of his. LOVE YOU, BAZ!!!) Did i go over 1,000 words?
