Revolutions per Minute
Revolutions per Minute is the fifth studio album by American heavy metal band Skid Row, released in October 2006 on Hellion Records. It followed 2003's Thickskin and came out in the years when Johnny Solinger was fronting the band, having taken over the vocal duties from the group's original singer.
It is a record with a few distinctions in the Skid Row story. It is the only album to feature drummer Dave Gara, and it was the last full-length studio set with Solinger on vocals. After it, the band went quiet in the studio for sixteen years, until The Gang's All Here arrived in 2022. For anyone tracing the group beyond their early run of albums from 1989 and 1991, this is the final chapter of that long middle stretch.
