Where this album fits

Career context
Released in 1991, 'Subhuman Beings on Tour' marked a transitional phase for Skid Row as they were adapting to changing musical landscapes post their breakthrough album 'Slave to the Grind.' At this point, the band had solidified their presence in the heavy metal scene but faced pressures from shifting trends that would soon lead to their decline in mainstream popularity.
