5 out of 5 stars Respekt.......2007-04-11

Evidently meaning business this album is a serious play for critical acceptance and a shift of intent for the band after their debut. Skid Row was hair meta, albeit excellent hair metal. But Slave to the Grind is just excellent metal and very much in keeping with the bands stated heroes like Judas Priest. Almost every tack here is a winner, the rockers atacking with bite and the ballads "taking you to dark unsettling places where reflection collides with worry" to quote Martin Popoff.

rather than go through a track by track synopsis for this release I'll cherry pick a few tracks and discuss them.

Monkey business - Excellent metal, excellent. From a brooding intro to a blazing metalfest led by a visceral Bach this is top notch metal no matter what era you grew up in.

Slave to the Grind - Probably the heaviest musical track recorded by Skid Row. Not my cup of tea but certainly a heavy duty attack. Add silly grunt/gargled vocals and you've got a metalcore song!

Quicksand Jesus - One of the three disturbing ballads on display here. Playing this track followed by In A Darkened Room and Wasted Time in an unlit room is something only to be done by experts. Just make sure you don't have any sharp objects close to hand...

Get the **** Out - The only really whimsical track here and a welcome relief. The only track here that could easily be imagined slotting onto the debut. Which makes sense as it was first played live at the Hordern Pavilion, Sydney Australia on the bands tour to promote the debut, so was perhaps the first tune written for this album.

Mudkicker - After Monkey Business this is probably my favourite of the metallic tunes, psychologically driven along a regular theme with the passion of the bands attack.

This album is a classin and the fact that it's not regarded as such appears to be due to the way the band are preceived in hindsight due to their breakup/disintegration. And perhaps because of hte bands image prior to this release. But if your not sure about buying a disc by Skid Row then ditch your worries and pick this up now.

5 out of 5 stars Greatest Album Ever.......2006-10-05

This is quite simply my favorite album of all time.
Bachs voice is extraordinary and he really unleashes his full fury on this album. This ain't "hair-metal", its heavy metal, and if you love heavy metal, then you'll love this album.

4 out of 5 stars Rocks with controlled abandon.......2006-06-29

'Bass as he is known now because of the Super Group TV show on VH 1,is a rock legend, and rightfully so. He has pipes and knows how to use them. This is a classic 80's rock fest with all the power and verve to make you grit your teeth. Production could use a little tweaking, like a lot of the 80's CD's. A little bright, not enough mids. There is a reason that Skid Row still sells. This is good,crafted, and well sung rock. More original sounding than Poison or Warrant. More melodic than Anthrax or Motorhead. Great to play over and over, which I think is what the hair bands gave us. Don't think, just rock. Check out the underated Blue Murder CD made by John Sykes who was the guitarist and side singer for Whitesnake. If you like the 'Row, you will love Blue Murder. Great vocals too!

5 out of 5 stars If this doesn't get you moving, check your pulse..........2006-05-14


Guns n' Roses and Skid Row were by far and away my two favorite bands during the late 80s/early 90s. In truth, Skid was a distant second, but second nontheless. They toured together in the summer of 1992 and I got the chance to see them when they came to my hometown. Wow! What a show. I had their first one and was expecting more "18 and life", and "I remember you" type stuff. "In a Darkened Room", "Quicksand Jesus", and "Wasted Time" are in that same mold. But, the rest of this disc is heavy metal at its absolute finest.

"Monkey Business", "Slave to the Grind", "Living on a Chain Gang", and "Mudkicker" are some of the heaviest and best songs ever recorded. Heavy doesn't always make it good. Hard rocking doesn't always make it heavy. But it all comes together - completely together - on Slave to the Grind. What these guys did on this disc is absolutely amazing. This is no doubt a timeless classic.

5 out of 5 stars Definitely NOT 'WASTED TIME'.......2006-04-27

This is the second Skids album and on tape it was a bit different, there's one song here that I had never heard before (Get The F*** Out). This album is tough, edgy, social and totally reflects the time it was written in (drugs, corporate greed, futility - all that fun stuff). I love most all the songs on this CD but I think my favorites are 1) Psycho Love - a whole lot of fun and strangeness; 2) Creepshow - girl kicks boy in the teeth, is she trying to tell him something?? and 3) Wasted Time - a best friend sinks into the deadliness of drugs while those that love him watch - devastating!

Solid second effort from the guys - can't miss it!

Not only does De La Soul reach a milestone by releasing their seventh studio album, but The Grind Date is their most consistent, cohesive effort since 1996's Stakes Is High. For starters, the team of Supa Dave West, Jay Dee, Madlib, 9th Wonder, and Jake One create a gorgeous collection of tracks for them, ranging from the stirring soulfulness of "The Grind Date" and "Church" to the twitching tenseness of "Rock Co.Kane Flow" and the unabashed funky party on "Verbal Clap." Neither superficially commercial nor stubbornly underground, The Grind Date sounds as though De La have retuned to their own wavelength: provocative lyricism that's forward-thinking without sounding preachy, positive without sounding naïve. While so many of their peers have fallen by the wayside, Posdnuos, Dave (f.k.a. Trugoy), and Mase sound more robust than ever, joined by guests from the underground (MF Doom) and the middle ground (Common). Fifteen years after their head-turning debut 3 Feet High and Rising, De La show renewed life and vigor. --Oliver Wang

man all i have to say is this cd is the ish and I've been playing it all the time and this is a true gem and I would like to know are they going to release any more work out cuz this was a crazy cd and they shined on each track TRUE HIP HOP LIVES ON

5 out of 5 stars Buy This!.......2007-05-30

This album came out in 2004, and when people ask me to recommend my top 10 albums of the year, I forget that this came out 3 years ago and tell them to go buy this. If you don't have this in your collection, go get it. There's not a track that I don't bang. And it seems like I'm always finding something new in it that just makes me go "Ohhhh!" This is a fantastic album.

5 out of 5 stars I'm not even a De La fan........2007-03-24

I'm somebody who would at most get their greatest hits album and leave it at that. BUT. they brought it with this album. The beats get no better, and the rhymes are tight. Buy this.

5 out of 5 stars These true hip-hop legends know how to grind........2006-12-07

In hip-hop, a lot of individuals are labeled legendary, without truly deserving their legacy. In fact, their legacies are more of fables, and myths then they are true legacies, and they only suceed because of the image they projected to the public, or the untimely demise they might have met. Then, there are those select few who earned their title as hip-hop legends; De La Soul are an example of these legends. They've been inspiring, and influencing emcees for nearly two decades, and while they are critically acclaimed, today's hip-hop listener(eg. people who haven't been listening to hip-hop longer than three years, and watch a little too much BET for their own good) doesn't show nearly enough respect to De La. They're not disgruntled by that fact, though; they just keep releasing dope music.

Although released in 2004, this album continues to bang today, as all good albums should. Just looking at the credit, this is almost like a hip-hop head's dream come true; an album, featuring De La Soul, with production from the likes of J Dilla and Madlib, and guest appearances from some of the dopest emcees, dead or alive, like Ghostface, Common, and DOOM. Throughout this album, De La brings pure hip-hop soul reminiscent of classics like their debut, Three Feet High & Rising, but also featuring some of their more aggressive De La Soul is Dead attitude, as on "Rock Co. Kane Flow." They find the perfect balance between sophisticated and gritty, funky and gully, conscious and street, to drop a thoroughly dope album, cohesively flowing between tight cuts from start to finish.

"Shopping Bags" may've been pulled from BET because it wasn't marketed toward their 'target audience'(in other words, it was good, intelligent music, which is a no-no in today's society), but true heads can appreciate charming cuts like this, "Church," "Verbal Clap," "It's Like That," and "Days Of Our Lives." While some of the other tracks aren't as rich musically, the other tracks aren't neccessarily supposed to be, as De La take a more b-boy approach, hitting us with razor-sharp lyrical darts, and denouncing lesser emcees without actually mentioning them. De La aren't on a hardcore tip, but they show you don't need to project yourself as a petty thugs to intimidate foes in the hip-hop game, which is how it always has been in true hip-hop circles.

While it would've been nice to possibly get a Prince Paul cut on this album, considering this album marked the fifteenth anniversay of Three Feet High & Rising, the dream team of other producers and guests are more than enough to please today's hip-hop listener, and De La Soul themselves would've succeeded with or without them. In the end, although this album is star-studded, it's all De La Soul, and the fact that they could reel in all these dope emcees and producers is only testament to their influence in hip-hop culture. Hip-hop heads shouldn't sleep on this album; it's flawless, and another classic from the De La Soul camp, only further solidifying their status as true legends in the game. The faux-'gangsta' crowd maybe too busy immitating their idols to give authentic hip-hop like The Grind Date its share of spins(and believe me, this record deserves countless ammounts of rotation), but real heads know what it's about. Pick it up.

5 out of 5 stars Gladly Surprised!.......2006-10-04

I was skeptical upon buying this after it was released only because I didn't expect it to be this good. The Grind Date is an amazing listen. I was comparing it to the other greats they've made and instead of falling short, it stood right with those. Don't sleep on it-- It is very good music lyric-wise and beat-wise.

    This DVD is well worth the price the music selections make it very easy to use depending on your mood. I would highly recommend it.

    5 out of 5 stars In love with it!.......2006-08-09

    Really nice CD, it just combined in a nice way everything I was looking for in a music for strip-dance.
    First of all, it's a good music (and hot!), I like to listen to even without stripping, just like a normal good-quality CD.
    Second, there are several sets of the music on the disc (Hip-Hop, R&B, Instrumentals, Dance) that allows to choose the music which better corresponds to my mood, and perform different styles of strip-dance. (that's really good cause I don't need several CDs)
    Finally, good point is that there are no gaps between the songs, and they go smoothly one into another. It's really an advantage when you performing your dance!

    Album Description

    Following the subtly modern bent of much of The Cape Verdean Blues, Horace Silver recommitted himself to his trademark "funky jazz" sound on The Jody Grind. Yet he also consciously chose to keep a superbly advanced front line, with players like trumpeter Woody Shaw (retained from the Cape Verdean session), altoist/flutist James Spaulding, and tenor saxophonist Tyrone Washington. Thus, of all Silver's groove-centered records, The Jody Grind winds up as possibly the most challenging. It's also one of the most under appreciated; Silver's piano playing is at its rhythmic best throughout, brimming over with confidence and good cheer, and evoking memories of the classic feel of his early-'60s quintet. His compositions have a similarly bright overtone, which was becoming increasingly rare in mid-'60s jazz as the fury of the avant-garde and the Civil Rights upheaval began to seep into jazz's wider consciousness. The title cut is a playful, overlooked classic on the funky side of hard bop; Silver kicks it with a tasty groove, giving the rest of the musicians plenty to play off of. The whole group absolutely burns through "Grease Piece," a terrific hard swinger full of smoking solo statements from just about everyone on down to drum whiz Roger Humphries. Really, the whole album is packed with great grooves and tight solos, epitomizing the best virtues of Silver's music. The Jody Grind is one of the best Horace Silver records, highly recommended.

    Players Include:
    Horace Silver - Piano
    James Spaulding - Flute, Sax (Alto)
    Tyrone Washington - Sax (Tenor)
    Larry Ridley - Bass
    Woody Shaw - Trumpet

    Silver leads a first rate ensemble here and his composition work is excellent.

    5 out of 5 stars Grand master of hard bop!.......2002-12-20

    Horace Silver is in full flight on the "Jody Grind." He is one of the grand masters of hard bop, and it is little wonder that so much of his music has been used in "acid jazz." Silver has had a very prolific career, starting with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, and evolving into one of the prime figures in jazz. Silver draws from a wide variety of sources, but lurking in the background seems to be his Cape Verdean roots. There is a loose quality to his music that is very appealling, and it is so easy to be drawn into his sinuous sounds.

    5 out of 5 stars Silver's Gold.......2001-05-23

    This is the HS album I find myself listening to the most. Its funky, infectious groove belies the rhythmic and melodic complexity (par for the Silver course, but even more so on this album). It's both energetic and complex, which explains Silver's success with critics and novice jazz lovers alike. If, like me, you grew up with Charlie Brown specials on TV, and your appreciation of jazz began with the music you heard there (Vince Guaraldi, God rest his soul) then this album will knock you out. It practically defines the "hard bop" sound. Do your soul a favor and get this album.

    5 out of 5 stars Sterling Silver.......2000-07-16

    Silver's bands, like Art Blakey's, served -- and is still serving -- as one of the great training grounds for young jazz musicians in the '60s. "The Jody Grind" features a youthful Woody Shaw joining his brash trumpet sound with the fiery James Spaulding on alto and flute and the forgotten (unfortunately) Tyrone Washington, who contributes a hard-edged tenor. Silver, as usual, composed all the tunes, and nearly all of them are memorable.

    Silver is a master at stripping melodies and rhythms down to their essentials. But that doesn't mean that his tunes are simplistic. For example, the great "Mexican Hat Dance," as the title suggests, cooks up a spicy Latin beat that is very hummable. After you listen to it a few times, though, you realize that the infectious melody is composed of some tricky twists and turns that the horn players negotiate flawlessly.

    In fact, Silver makes it look easy on the whole release, effortlessly spinning off melodies and riffs in his soloing and catching you with an irresistible hook on every tune, from the funk of "Grease Piece" to the elegant sophistication of "Blue Silver." Forty minutes go by in a flash.

    The entire band responds eloquently under Silver's leadership. In fact, another major strength of the release is the contrast of sounds in the horns. Shaw is hard-edged and fluid on trumpet; Spaulding edgy on alto and mellow on flute; and Washington digs deeply into the hard bop bag with a soulful tenor.

    All of Silver's Blue Note work is worth owning, but "The Jody Grind," for my money, represents one of his most consistent and satisfying efforts. Highly recommended.

    4 out of 5 stars Last one from a great era.......2000-01-17

    John Fordham's review above really doesn't do justice to this recording. The classic Silver quintet sound is there, Van Gelder got one of the best drum sounds ever on this session, it's an early recording by the late trumpeter Woody Shaw, and half of the tracks add a third sax/flute from Jimmy Spaulding, who gives HS a chance to write richer front-line harmonies. There's no "Sister Sadie" here, but there's enduring enjoyment instead -- I wore out my original LP copy. With his next albums, HS began moving away from the tight group sound which served him so well in the 50s and 60s, so this one is really the last of its kind.

    4 out of 5 stars Different... but it's still good!.......2005-06-26

    This album shows a big change in E-40's style - mainly in terms of the production. On this one - Rick Rock handles a major part of the beats - 7 out of 16 songs. Some of his beats are great, and some are kind of weak. Lyrically, y'all know where E-40 is at. He keeps coming out with some new slang (sometimes a little but too much, but it's all good!), and those fast flows (which makes his sound off-beat at times). But the thing is - E-40 spits nothing but game. I think the best songs on the album are "Pimps, Hustlas" (An AWESOME beat by Tone Capone, great verses by 40 Water and a remarkable guest appearence by Levitti - best song on the album, so addictive!), "Fallin' Rain" (a laid-back song, with a classic R&B sample, produced by Rick Rock, where 40 talks about his life), "The Slap", "It's a Man's game" (the hardest songs on the album, both produced by Rick Rock"), "Mustard and Mayonaise". And you gotta mention "Rep Your City" - the club banger of the album. It's got a very good beat by Lil' Jon, and all rappers (E-40, Petey Pablo, Bun B and Eightball) deliver tight verses, but all that screaming and shouting by Lil' Jon is getting way too annoying!! Without it, the song would be perfect... There are quite a few other songs worth mentioning, showing that this is another VERY solid record by Charlie Hustle. Only about 3 or 4 songs out of the 16 are not that good. Producers include Rick Rock, Tone Capone, Bosko, Mike Dean, Mike Mosley & Sam Bostic and a few others. As I said earlier, E-40 changed his style on this album quite a bit, and fans that has been following him since his "Federal" days (like myself) will miss the Mobb Sound, but it's still a very good album. With 40, it's all about consistancy and quality - he's been in the game since the late 80's and he never fell off.

    E-40 delivers a solid album in "Grit and Grind." He made a smart decision in using "Automatic" as the first single. He and Fabolous contrast well with 40's slang-filled flow and Fab's cut-throat style. "Whomp Whomp" and "'Til the Dawn" have good collaborations from the Bay Area's finest and "Slap" provides a good opening and solo flow from E-40. Towards the last tracks, the album loses some of its fire in "End of the World," "Pimps, Hustlas," and "Fallin' Rain." I was also somewhat disappointed in "Roll On" featuring Afroman. There was not much rap on the track, but that could have been 40's intention to end his song wit just tha music playing. Overall, E-40 shows he is unique in the game with his one-of-a-kind slang, metaphors, and comparisons and proves that he could be da best artist in the Bay Area.

    4 out of 5 stars Ok so..........2007-05-19

    It's a good soundtrack but they left out a lot of good songs. I still bought it anyway.

    The song where Eric first sees Jamie and he's in the bean suit is "True" by Spandau Ballet

    When all the guys come out at the end to finally skate and the announcer is announcing their names the song is "Seein Red" by Unwritten Law.

    The song playing when Matt spray paints the van is "Donkey Song" by Ill Kidd.

    The song they all sing to in the van and the little old lady flicks them off is "Nothin But A Good Time" by Poison.

    And the song they do the dancing too in the club is "Bust A Move" by Young MC

    4 out of 5 stars Solid Soundtrack.......2006-12-23

    This is a sweet soundtrack of the feel-good movie The Grind. However, it is missing a couple of songs that I think would have strengthened the quality of this CD. They are also missing that 80's favorite Bust a Move by Young MC. Still this ranks high as a soundtrack compilation.

    5 out of 5 stars Left some good ones out though..........2006-11-09

    I didn't care for the Too Bad About your Girl, Silly Little Fellow,or The Jump Off. In fact, I skip these each time I play it. I wanted the santa monica song in there along with the restraunt song where he's dressed in that costume. Oh well. Other than those few things I gave it a five because I really like every other song on the cd.

    5 out of 5 stars the last of the best.......2003-02-20

    I picked this album up in early '98 towards the end of the third wave of ska run. This album along with Hard Band For Dead symbolize all that waa great about ska in the late 90's. Great tunes. I recommend that you pick up this CD and take a close listen to "Today's a good day". The best song on the album.

    3 out of 5 stars A Decent Ska Disc..........2002-02-11

    The Toasters seem to stumble on this release. Although they churn out a few catchy beats, the result is an album full of too much filler. Quite a shame.

    1 out of 5 stars Ouch.......2000-02-20

    3 out of 5 stars Hardly their best stuff, but there are a few good tunes........1999-06-14

    I eagerly anticipate any release by the Toasters, and upon first listening, I thought, "Pretty good." However, the album soon dropped out of my regular rotation of recently purchased albums. While there are some good songs on this album, such as the title track, I'm Running Right Through the World, and Everything You Said Has Been a Lie, this album just doesn't catch me as their others did. One reason is that the Toasters have continually changed throughout the years, from their Two-Tone sounding Skaboom! (which I purchased in condensed format as the Naked City on Unicorn Records... Amazon plug; buy Skaboom!, it has more songs and is of better sound quality) to their Coolie Ranx influenced dancehall of Dub56. However, with DLTBGYD the Toasters seemed to hit a creative rut. Perhaps it's the fact that there was not much change in their lineup as opposed to the various earlier Toaster lineups. Regardless, I thought that their previous album, Hard Band fe Dead, was pretty good. With DLTBGYD the sound has not changed much and I personally found HBFD to be better song by song. DLTBGYD typifies the later parts of the third wave of ska, in which repetition has prevailed among many bands, making it more difficult to find new, interesting variations of ska. In the ska scene, it is heresy to say such things about a respected, established band like the Toasters, but it seems that this predominant symptom of an influx of a genre has occurred here. As such, this album has ultimately been a letdown. Before recommending this album I would recommend Skaboom! or New York Fever first.

    3 out of 5 stars Old school Bad Religion wanna be's.......2004-11-03

    Man did NUFAN sound different in the late 80's early 90's this band has been around for almost 20 years and they used to have a more punk/metal sound before they got all poppy. this album is ok there are only a few stand outs mostly the title track and "when it's gone" but after those I could swear i was listening to some old school Bad Religion which would be good except that their songs arent that great and their vocals by tony sly tend to be weak at times. Kind of bland but their lyrics are pretty good too bad they only write about love now.

    5 out of 5 stars buy this record right this second.......2004-04-02

    This is the best of the best for NUFAN. An old record, but in my opinion, their second best album after Leche Con Carne. Buy it, you won't be dissapointed.

    5 out of 5 stars No Use For a Name is bad!.......2003-04-14

    The Daily Grind is an awesome CD. The guitar riffs are just ingenius. This band is punk at its best....well 90's punk at its best. Before they went soft that is....I personally like this CD along with Don't Miss the Train, 2 of NUFAN's best CDs if you ask me. And the lyrics r just breathtaking. They dont sing about that poppy junk on this CD, it is much more political in my view, singing about pollution and whatnot. One of my favorite CD's.

    5 out of 5 stars No Use For expensive production.......2000-05-12

    Despite this being one of their earlier albums, this record totally shines. It seems that after TDG, No Use pretty much abandoned their hardcore sound for more melodic harmonies. No worries, it's all good. They haven't done wrong by me yet. This album is a jewel. Every song is brutally good and reeks of pure beauty. Perhaps the best song on the CD is a love song. Love song? No Use For A Name? Yes, I be talking about "Permanent Rust". All in all, this is a CD that should appeal not only to mentally disturbed No Use stalkers like me, but to the casual fans as well. Ya poseurs.

    5 out of 5 stars R.Kelly is the Greatest.......2006-06-17

    R.Kelly's music is fabulous. I dont care if he's a sexual predator, his sex life has nothing to do with me. This is a rare CD, I havent found it anywhere else except on sites like Amazon. Each and every song as well as remix is fullfilling, I'm happy that I bought this CD...if I hadn't then I would miss out on alot. He also has a exclusive song for this CD which is the Bump N' Grind- How I Feel It Mix. Its the best remix that he has made so far.

    I first heard this song on his cassette version of this album in my Mom's car. After that I was determined to get this anyway possible.

    5 out of 5 stars The King of Baby-making Music and Remixes.......2005-12-25

    I am R. Kelly's biggest fan and although I love and own every single cd he ever made, I have to admit this song started his career. It is a classic that will continue to be listed as a track on every r&b compilation cd, played on every r&b radio station, and used to get people in the mood for exotic nights to come. He is a legend and absolutely the most creative and musically inclined person ruling the music sector of entertainment. Buy this cd and you'll keep it forever.

    5 out of 5 stars R.'s best song ever.......2005-06-05

    This is the tightest song he has made off his album "12 Play". This man can sing. Doesn't matter whether u luv him, hate him, or not. He's still good. Just like Marvin Gaye when he put out hits like "I Heard Through the Grapevine", "Let's Get It On", "What's Going On", "Sexual Healing", among others. As to say, R. Kelly is the godfather of our time and still making good music. I appreciate the success that he did 4 "Chocolate Factory" and "Happy People/U Saved Me" (which I don't have yet sooner or later I will". But 'nuff said and enjoy the Genius, the Pied Piper, and the Soul Survivor of R&B. Spiritual R. Kelly vs. Material R. Kelly, Good vs. Bad. Check out Marvin Gaye's IN OUR LIFETIME and/or MIDNIGHT LOVE by any chance.

    I saw the tape. I BET YOU DON'T. Next Time, Rapist Kelly, if your going to Bump N grind someone, bump N grind someone who can legally buy Cigarrattes. And he really tells on hisself in the remix with the lyric : "Ooh, Child. Things are gonna get a little freakier" He said CHILD. I can't stand Rapist Kelly
