Will have you Beating Yourself Blind!.......2007-06-24

When it comes to Greatest Hits albums, there are many that seem to fall short of capturing the essence of the band and what it is they accomplished. In the case of "40 Seasons: The Best of Skid Row," while it too is not perfect, it comes very close.

1. Youth Gone Wild - This is how to begin an album! Heavy guitars, powerful vocals, and a message that being a youth is all in your heart and you CAN stay young forever! A true rocking anthem that will have you banging your head with madness! 5/5

2. 18 and Life - many people may know this song very well. One of the bands biggest and best hits. A great song with a great, dark and sad story. Seems to be a bit of Ricky inside us all! 4/5

3. Piece of Me - Right back into the heavy rocking non-stop action that we know Skid Row for. I wasn't a big fan of this song at first but it does grow on you. Great song when performed live as well. 4/5

4. I Remember You - This is usually the song that everyone knows and associates Skid Row with. The ballad of the album, the band, and perhaps even the ballad of the decade! The vocals are strong yet peaceful, and the guitar work is perfectly matched with the harmony of the tune as well. 4.5/5

5. The Threat - This song I find to be very much like "Piece of Me." Again this is a song that didn't grab me right away but has grown on me with time. Hard and heavy hitting off the heels of the ballad. 4/5

6. Psycho Love - Again, might take a couple of listens to really enjoy, but this definetly is a pretty rocking song! Powerful vocals and awesome guitar work by the man Rachael Bolan! In the linear notes the band states they are still waiting for a movie to be made from this song! Pretty cool idea! 4/5

7. Monkey Business - One of my favorite tracks on the album! Starts slow and soft, then picks up very hard and heavy when you least expect it. Very powerful and strong vocals here! Saw it performed live at a concert, and live on SNL before and each time it rocked the house. So much energy here its undeniable. 5/5

8. Quicksand Jesus - I would catergorize this song as a semi-ballad. Stars slow and soft, picks up to slightly heavy, then fluctuates between the two. Awesome song that shows the raw emotion the band members were feeling at the time. Good message with a good hook. 5/5

9. Slave To The Grind - The hit single that many remember Skid Row for; besides "I Remeber You." The song itself has the basic hook, basic guitar playing, and even basic vocals. One thing though, it has an undeniable message much like "Youth Gone Wild." Overall, this song deserved to be the hit it was. 4.5/5

10. Into Another {Remix} - A pretty cool version of this song. Again on the semi-soft side, but it shows that the band does have emotions. Excellent harmonizing in the song as well with stand-out drum work. 4/5

11. Frozen (Demo 1994) - In my opinion, the weakest song on the album. That of course isn't saying much as it was a demo version. Had potential, but seemed a bit cluttered and out of place on this album. 3/5

12. My Enemy {Remix} - After a few listens, this song is pretty rocking. Not to heavy, but definetly not soft. Excellent guitar work, and Sebastian doesn't over-do the vocals at all. 4/5

13. Breakin' Down {Remix} - In my opinion this is the lost gem, not only on this album, but compared to thier other ballad, this one stands well on its own! Yes, its a ballad, but an awesome one at that. Again, one can hear the true emotions going into the song and that makes it all the more real. Do not under-estimate this song! 5/5

14. Beat Yourself Blind [Live] - This song picks the tempo right back up! A classic raw, live performance that truly shows the energy that the entire band has. It doesn't however do any justice in showing just how insane Sebastian Bach is on stage! Awesome rock anthem! 5/5

15. Forever {1988 Previously UnReleased} - This is another song that shouldn't be under-estimated. A song that was previously unreleased but I am glad it was put on this album! It shows the early days and early beginnings of this hard rocking band. 4/5

16. Fire In The Hole (Demo 1991) - Another rocking jam that was previously unreleased. Just a pure rocking track and a great way to end a rocking album! Hard and heavy with the quintessential Skid Row attitude! 4.5/5

Overall, this album is great for the casual fan that wants to get to know the band back in their prime! Worth the price and will get you hooked to one of the best hard rock bands of the late 80's and early 90's.

Album Description

One of the last great metal "hair bands" to have major mainstream success, Skid Row was formed in the late '80s by former Bon Jovi guitarist Dave "Snake" Sabo and bassist Rachel Bolan. With flamboyant, photogenic-and controversial-frontman Sebastian Bach on lead vocals, the group had a breakthrough smash with 1989's "18 And Life." That song, along with "I Remember You," "Youth Gone Wild," and more, are gathered on this single-disc collection.
