Review

"Skid Row," the debut album dropped in January 1989, is a relentless assault of hard rock and heavy metal. Helmed by producer Michael Wagener and birthed in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, this record bursts with the raw energy and visceral talent of the band, driven by Sebastian Bach’s explosive vocal delivery. Instantly skyrocketing Skid Row from local legends to opening for international giants like Bon Jovi and Aerosmith, this album’s impact was undeniable.

Packed with infectious anthems like "Youth Gone Wild" and "18 and Life," alongside powerful ballads such as "I Remember You," the album weaves a rich tapestry of sound. Their musical prowess and gritty attitude, echoing the rebellious spirit of Guns N' Roses, set them apart from the pop-metal pack of the late '80s. Certified 5x platinum, "Skid Row" solidified the band’s place in rock history, ensuring their music blazed through radios and magazines nationwide. Even if it has an '80s timestamp, it remains a fierce testament to their passion and relentless drive. - Ben
