Skid Row took the strategically contrived, super-polished sonics of their self-titled debut and dirtied things up for the more fitting, grittier direction of their second full-length album, 1991's SLAVE TO THE GRIND. SLAVE has the historical distinction of being the first metal album to debut at #1 on the Billboard album chart and remains the crown jewel of the band's catalog.

Professional Reviews

Rolling Stone (8/22/91) - 3 Stars - Good "..would have been 4 Stars on sonics alone (docked a star for misoginistic "Get the F*** Out"). ...kick-in-the-groin riffing and guitars swooping out of feedback skies.."

Entertainment Weekly (6/21/91) - "..the band makes its tough stance real.."
