Slaughter – Stick It to Ya Released in 1990, Stick It to Ya is the debut album by American glam metal band Slaughter. Emerging during the tail end of the 1980s glam metal boom, the album captured the era's spirit with its mix of high-energy rock anthems, catchy melodies, and emotionally charged ballads. Slaughter, led by vocalist Mark Slaughter and bassist Dana Strum, built a reputation for infectious hooks and flamboyant performances, and Stick It to Ya solidified their place in the glam metal pantheon.
The album spawned several hits, including the energetic “Up All Night” and the heartfelt power ballad “Fly to the Angels,” both of which received heavy airplay on MTV and rock radio. Tracks like “Burnin’ Bridges” and “Mad About You” showcase the band’s ability to combine sleazy riffs, anthemic choruses, and soaring vocals, while deeper cuts like “Spend My Life” exemplify their polished musicianship. The production, handled by Dana Strum and Mark Slaughter, highlights the glossy, arena-ready sound that defined late 80s/early 90s glam metal.
Stick It to Ya was a commercial success, going double platinum in the United States and becoming a quintessential album of the glam metal genre, standing alongside the works of Mötley Crüe, Poison, and Bon Jovi. Its upbeat, party-oriented themes resonated with fans before grunge’s rise in the early 1990s shifted the rock landscape.
