Criminally. You can put it against any of that eras greatest rock albums and it wont pale in comparison. Far better than theyre debut album, which is also a great commercial hard rock album, a very, very good record. But i prefer STTG.

    F'ing love this track. The problem is, this album was too little too late to reel in a real metal audience. Metalheads might have been swayed to like this record, but all the other stuff was still too hair for serious headbangers to get into it. And then came grunge and, as I said, it was too late. It's hard to go from "I Remember You" to STTG - two very different genres. Nothing on Skid Row or the rest of this album sounds anything like this killer track.

    Actually it was Van Halen that came in at #1 the following week; not NWA. Surprised he got that wrong.

    I remember Pantera opening for Skid Row in Dallas in 1992.....Pantera should have been the headliner at that point, especially in Dallas. Skid Row headlining off only 2 albums at the time was rather unheard of, and I think the wrong choice. Metallica wanted them to open for them on the GnR/Metallica summer tour, but Bas said no. Big mistake in my mind.

    Wait a minute...so there's a demo of Slave to the Grind floating around that's BETTER than the version on the album?
