In the latest of the 80's Skid Row released their same titled debut album. A kind of typical american hard rock, but rather the street poet side of it. This must be one of the best records of that time and genre.

Equally strong fast rocking songs and moody ballads stand under the flag of talented musicians, nice rock 'n roll riffs and melodies, all in all outstanding work that doesn't get boring (almost). The genre must have already seemed blasé when 'Skid Row' was released with bands like Tesla, Dokken, Alcatrazz, Bon Jovi, Guns N Roses, Twisted Sister etc. being on the scene for long, but this piece of music accompanied by the remarkable voice of Sebastian Bach gave a boost into the whole thing again. This can be confirmed by the 5 million copies sold that rewarded the efforts put into this album.
