Stephen
"The Wild Life" saw the daylight in 1992, where most 80s bands began to suffer as the grunge wave started sweeping in. Slaughter managed to produce several hit singles and hit the gold status, but after this album, everything went sour commercially for them while ironically, the next release, in my opinion, is their peak creativity. This album showed a rich variety of musical perspective, from those mandatory emotional-fueled ballads, to psychedelic-feel hard rock, from groovy melodic rock to early 80s heavy metal.

"Reach For The Sky" and "Out For Love" are good opener, but the title track that steals the show. That first single has blasting chorus and Blas Elias pumped up the groove nicely. "Dance For Me Baby" with its naughty Van Halen-ized beat and "Old Man" with its Aerosmith flair are great examples of Slaughter taking on some past references. "Days Gone By", "Real Love", and "Streets of Broken Heart" are all sensational ballads, hard to top them all, a timeless classic, and to this day, I always found the songs to be very inspiring and adorable.

At the verge of glam's decadence, Slaughter still delivered a classy effort. This is their second best album of all time after "Fear No Evil", but together with the debut, all three are essential and a must buy for glam fans.
