5.0 out of 5 stars
THE MOST CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED METAL ALBUM EVER, December 17, 1999
And that is no lie. Without question, Skid Row's finest ever offered, serving up monsterous riffs, Bach dishing out catostorophic vocals, and the entire band bashing away at some of the heaviest music ever. Every song is slammin', the most fatal ones being My Enemy, Bonehead, BEAT YOURSELF BLIND, Subhuman Race, Frozen and Breakin' Down. I can't stress to you enough, if you did not like their first album, then this will not let you down. GET THIS ALBUM, IT MUST BE HEARD TO BE BELIEVED!

A FIVE STAR ALBUM FROM A 5 STAR BAND, November 7, 1999
I HADN'T BOUGHT A SKID ROW ALBUM SINCE 1992'S B-SIDES OURSELVES WHEN I PICKED UP 1998'S 40 SEASONS-THE BEST OF SKID ROW. I gave a listen to the songs from Subhuman Race(an album I had been told was bad. Follow yourselves people) and i was so impressed i bought the album the same day. WOW. Heavier which may upset the "I Remember You" crowd but this album is amazing. Lyrically, a major progression has taken place. Songs like "Frozen" and "Firesign" are great examples of that lyricism at work. "Breakin' Down" a song written by "Snake" Sabo should satisfy the ballad crowd as should "Eileen". The album is a bit of a departure for the band but is still down and dirty rock and roll, just like when the band started. Rock on MOTHER TRUCKERS!

Don't ignore this masterpiece!!!!!, January 7, 2006
"Slave to the Grind" is their best CD without a doubt, but if you skipped this CD when it was released because you were into grunge, then you need to go back and buy it. I overlooked it too. Wow. What a powerful sound they got on this. Very dark and moody songs, but VERY HEAVY. Sebastian Bachs voice is unbelievable. Loud, clear, and he holds notes forever! Both guitarists absolutely smoke on the songs. So crunchy and heavy. "Firesign", "Frozen", "Beat Yourself Blind" and "Remains to be Seen" are incredible songs. "Breakin' Down" is a better ballad than "I'll Remember You" was. I can't stop listening to this CD since I got it. The only people who gave this a bad review are the ones who wanted the first CD sound, not the "Slave" sound. HEAVY!!
