Still Climbing is the fourth album by the Glam metal band Cinderella, released in 1994. Musically, it followed in the footsteps of their previous effort, Heartbreak Station, providing them with another album of gritty hard rock in the vein of The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Guns N' Roses and Humble Pie. Unfortunately, the album, which by most fans has been named as the equal or more of their previous efforts in terms of quality, was the victim of an MTV that ignored it, a record company that didn't promote it, and an audience whose taste had changed completely. Where Cinderella's three first albums all had gone platinum, the dominion of Nirvanaesque grunge over 1994 was so strong as to force Still Climbing off the charts after mere weeks. Despite minor hits "Bad Attitude Shuffle", "Hard to Find Words", and "Hot and Bothered" from the Wayne's World soundtrack, the album went nowhere, and Cinderella's so far last studio album stands as a prime example of the loss of popularity among 80's hard rock bands after the arrival of Nirvana.
