Skid row thickskin full album


Thickskin is the fourth studio album by American heavy metal band Skid Row, and first to feature Sebastian Bach replacement Johnny Solinger and only to feature drummer Phil Varone. The come back album alienated most fans due to the absence of Bach, with many Skid Row fans believing a reuniting of Skid Row without Bach was not really Skid Row. It charted at number 46 on the Top Independent albums chart.

"Ghost" was released as a single with a music video filmed in Miami, Florida. A video was also made for the second single "New Generation", "Thick is the Skin" and "One Light", all of which were featured on the DVD "Under the Skin (The Making of Thickskin)". "I Remember You Two" is a remake of the single I Remember You in a punk rock influenced fashion. The song "Born A Beggar" was written with Sean McCabe when Skid Row was briefly going under the moniker Ozone Monday.

Reception

Critical reception of the album was mostly mixed. Allmusic gave Thinkskin a rating of three stars out of five, and said that the album displayed a sound that trended more towards alternative rock than earlier releases, but was nevertheless "surprisingly good."
