Guest review
Lyrics Two versions of this album exist: the original version, and the "clean" (censored) version. The clean version replaced "Get the Fuck Out" with "Beggar's Day" as its sixth track.
The Japanese CD edition (AMCY-257) features both tracks: 6. Get the Fuck Out and 13. Beggar's Day.

After a truly solid debut from Skid Row, one would ask, how could we expect them to top this? Yet they did. All aspects of the band have stepped up a notch in this album, becoming more intense; less rock and more metal! The entire atmosphere is made more dynamic from the get-go. The intro to the opening track "Monkey Business" has a quiet bluesy riff with quiet vocals that give the impression that the album ahead is going to be weak - but out of nowhere Bach unleashes a scream that breaks into a full-on hard rock anthem, setting off the intensity that barely lets down for the next 45 minutes. Just as soon as you catch your breath after the intro track, a very thrashy title track kicks in with just as much blistering intensity. Read more ›› |

Total nonesense K7 is babbling again. This one is vastly superior to the band's debut album

This album definitely has nothing to do with glam or hair metal. The debut did, but not this one!

Me to, this band had tallant to write ballads, maybe that's why Sebbe likes women and needs them every day and had married a lot of, maybe that's why women likes him?

It's almost 50 minutes album and only 2 songs are something interesting: Slave To The Grind and Riot Act. They tried to repeat the ballad success of the first album and it failed here. Most of the songs are skippable.
