Per Gavin's recommendation, here's TROUBLE's self-titled 1990 release. This was the band's first release on Rick Rubin's Def American label, and thusly the first Rubin-produced TROUBLE album. In my humble opinion, this is not TROUBLE's best work, but it certainly has its merits. For starters, the band's overall sound obviously benefited greatly from Rubin's production. Say what you will about the man, but he knows how to get the best possible sound from a band or artist while still maintaining their distinct identity. The guitars sound HUGE without drowning out the vocals - which wasn't always the case on TROUBLE's earlier recordings. Still, I feel like the writing and production all came together two years later on Manic Frustration. This is a solid album, though, and an essential part of TROUBLE's discography.
