Their second album, originally released in 1991
First heavy metal album to debut at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Top 200
Features classic tracks "Monkey Business," "Slave To The Grind," and "Wasted Time"
Skid Row's second studio album, coming off the tremendous success of their first self-titled album. This album was not as "radio friendly" as the first album (there was no "18 and Life" on it) as it was much heavier than their first album, but the songwriting and guitar work on Slave To The Grind is exceptional.
Slave To The Grind is the first heavy metal album to chart at number one on the Billboard 200 in the Nielsen SoundScan era, selling 134,000 copies in its opening week. The album was certified 2× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 1998 for shipping 2 million copies in the United States. It produced five singles: "Monkey Business," "Slave To The Grind," "Wasted Time", "In a Darkened Room" and "Quicksand Jesus." Skid Row promoted the album by opening for Guns N' Roses in 1991 and as a headliner the following year.
Slave To The Grind marked the band's move toward a heavier sound, with the title track verging on speed metal, but the album also includes power ballads and a few lighter tracks.
