Free Music Review: Truly one of the best rock albums of the 80's
Hit: 5 Stars
Now that we are finally starting to see the sights and hear the sounds of glam rock and pop metal finally begging to break through again after 8 horrible years, it fair to say that Poison may again be a center piece of this re-revolution in music. Sure the return of pop metal will need more than just rock fans to follow it. We need the mainstream audience to take a look back when times were good and music was fun as well. Poison embodied the era of glam rock and pop metal better than perhaps anyone but Bon Jovi and this album is deserving of the over 8 million it sold. The music isn't exactly deep on anything but the torn "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" (which may be the definitive power ballad) and C.C. Deville may not tear up the fret board like Eddie Van Halen. But Poison accomplishes one thing that all 90's grundgy and thrash metallers cannot. They right sweet hooks, look good, have a sense of melody and gained mainstream popularity with more than just loyal metal heads. Songs like "Fallen Angel" and "Look But Don't Touch" are blistering and energized and are trully excellent songs. The cover of "Your Mamma Don't Dance" seems to follow the same path as Motley Crue's "Smokin In The Boys Room" and both songs are more memorable and better than the originals. The classic "Nothin But A Good Time" more or less sums up the life and times of the 80's and its one of those great signature hits like "Jump", "Livin' On A Prayer" or "Pour Some Sugar On Me"
Open Up & Say Ahhh Poster
(CDP7484932)The second song on this album from the premier pop-metal band of the '80s sums up perfectly what Poison was all about: "Nothin' But a Good Time" isn't exactly deep, but it's a fun song. There's other good stuff on what is unquestionably Poison's best album; "Love on the Rocks" and "Look But You Can't Touch" show that this band is at its best when it's not taking itself seriously, though the wistful "Fallen Angel" remains one of Poison's best songs. "Every Rose Has Its Thorn," on the other hand, has nothing to distinguish it from the flood of power ballads of the late 80s. The cover of "Your Mama Don't Dance," however, more than makes up for this, with the sense of fun and humor that made Poison so entertaining. --Genevieve Williams
