Still Climbing is the sound of a band refusing to go quietly into the night. While the early 90s saw the music industry pivot sharply toward the grey skies of Seattle, Cinderella doubled down on their transition from hair-metal icons to legitimate blues-rock torchbearers. The record is thick with the smell of stale beer and expensive tube amps, trading the shimmering pop-metal sheen of their debut for a weathered, road-worn grit that feels more authentic to their Philadelphia roots. It is a record that prioritizes the soul of the slide guitar and the weight of a heavy backbeat over the theatrics of the previous decade.
