This iconic release features some of the band's most celebrated tracks, including "18 and Life," "Youth Gone Wild," and "I Remember You." The album showcases a blend of hard-hitting riffs, powerful vocals from frontman Sebastian Bach, and anthemic choruses that defined late '80s rock. Skid Row quickly rose to fame with this record, achieving multi-platinum status and establishing themselves as one of the leading acts in the glam metal scene. Atlantic Records, renowned for its rich history in promoting legendary artists across genres such as Led Zeppelin and Aretha Franklin, played a pivotal role in bringing Skid Row's energetic sound to a global audience.

The debut album of this group continued the popular trend that came with the advent of Guns’N’Roses. Skid Row had advantages and disadvantages. Among the advantages should be noted the unique vocal of Sebastian Bach, as well as the originality of the style, which is relevant even now, but unfortunately, no one continues this direction. The achievement of the group (and style in general) is that the musicians have not crossed the fine line between heavy and commercial music. Such a successful combination attracted the majority of listeners. The disadvantage is some simplicity, which creates a monotonous sound (disappeared in the next album).
I especially want to mention the things Can't Stand The Heartache, 18 And Life, Youth Gone Wild, I Remember You. The album leaves a pleasant impression. It's nice that the gang does not play the final pop to which Bon Jovi went down, and at the same time the sound is more varied and more original than that of the Motley Crue. Based on this, I can say that SKID ROW took the lead in this genre, or in any case, caught up with Guns’N’Roses.
