Summary: Classic Metal Mania from Skid Row!
Comment: This is definitely a transitional album combining the best of glam rock with heavy metal into a classic album for the ages.
Overall the album is just fun rock and roll, but still seems to have that deeper streetwise edge brought on by the lyrics.
My review will consist of the best lyrics from each song:
BIG GUNS: "Like Valentino with a hand grenade"
SWEET LITTLE SISTER: "Her Mama kill her if she knew what she do"
...HEARTACHE: "You held your own until it wasn't yours anymore"
PIECE OF ME: "I got nasty, nasty habits & that's all she's gonna get"
18 & LIFE: "Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline"
RATTLESNAKE...: "Cause talk is cheap and so is she"
YOUTH GONE WILD: "I'll tell ya Park Avenue leads ta' SKID ROW!"
HERE I AM: "You don't need a crystal ball, to see she's got it all"
MAKIN' A MESS: "Lit up a smoke and did some talkin' with the back of his hand...SMACK!"
I REMEMBER...: "Woke up to the sound of pouring rain"
MIDNIGHT: "Electric is my touch, baby, you don't know what you've got"
Great riffs and great times!

Summary: Classic CD, very heavy for the time period
Comment: Skid was heavy for the time period.....still stands up today. A terrific CD, one of the best debut releases ever. Fans should check out Fozzy All That Remains Reloaded, amazing, heavy yet melodic CDAll That Remains Reloaded (W/Dvd)

Summary: Best Heavy Metal New Band for the Time
Comment: 18 and Life alone is worth the expense of this cd. One of my favorite of all time.
Customer Rating:
Summary: All songs... all good
Comment: Skid Row was probably famous for the lead singer's beautiful blonde hair. Way to go, Sebastian. Of course, my hair is blonde, though wavy. And don't get me wrong - I'm not into dudes - but watchin' S.B. sing as well as he did with that hair (sans Aqua Net), well, it felt real, man.
This was the lead singer who wore a shirt that said, "AIDS kills fags dead" when they played Wimbledon in London, England. Of course, they banned Skid Row after that, but it made me realize that Skid Row wasn't about to suck up (no pun, please) to the politically correct music industry trying to corral kids into that hippie culture. These guys were rockers, man, and they rocked it. Made me proud to love rock AND Reagan.
Their debut album, named after the band, rocked in so many ways. We talked about Sebastian's doo, now to say a bit about the music. Well, they did what lots of metal bands of the 80s did - they diversified the tracks to show that they were true musicians, not just headbangers. Each song has lyrics that rock with the tunes, and Rachel Bolen was a fantastic writer. (Dude had a nose ring connected to his ear by a chain.)
The slow songs and the fast songs - each one is anthem to me. I was proud to be a fan of this band because they were honest and they hit it hard where they needed to, even on the ballads. And with all those glam rockers (loved their music, but not their style) out there, it was nice to have some real rockers for a change. (Metallica is my favorite band from the 80s, but they were of course a different breed all together.)
If you think you don't know Skid Row, you might be surprised when you buy this album - they got at least 3 songs you should know almost by heart, even if you didn't know it was Skid Row playin' 'em.
And if you think you know 80s metal and rock, then you should already have this album.

Editorial Reviews:

Skid Row distinguished themselves from the legions of pop-metal bands of the late '80s and early '90s chiefly by their attitude, which was closer to Guns N' Roses than to Bon Jovi. They're also distinctive these days, mainly because they're still around. Though their debut is the most radio-friendly and least musically mature of their albums, it does have some excellent songs on it, including the slow but edgy "18 and Life" and the anthem (every metal album must have one) "Youth Gone Wild". Musical talent and vocalist Sebastian Bach's over-the-top delivery made this band stand out from the crowd, although these days the material on this album does sound dated. -- Genevieve Williams
