Despite being a saccharine rip-off of grunge music in a last ditch attempt in staying relevant with the already shifted rock scene, Subhuman Race is a satisfying album that stays consistent throughout. Its sound is a somewhat sedated "Slave to the Grind" with more complex but less macho lyrics. Despite the efforts of songs such as "My Enemy," "Breakin' Down," "Into Another," "Firesign," and others there is far more superior material in their debut album and Slave to The Grind. Skid Row was not made to be a grunge band but they gave it a great shot. It wasn't like bands like Bush weren't fake all along anyway.
Other fine songs include "Iron Will," "Eileen," "Beat Yourself Blind," and "Bonehead"
