I Love It!! It is straight forward Rock 'n' Roll. Poison put their heart and soul into these covers. I can't name a favorite track I love them all! I recommend this cd to anybody who loves rock 'n' roll and Poison.Free Music Review: Surprisingly Great

botton line - very impressed with all the tracks - my favorites are - I Never Cry and Dead Flowers - I hope they do those on the tour this summerFree Music Review: Poison'd, indeed!
Hit: 4 Stars
I know how rabid other Poison fans are for a new album and how quickly they are to defend everything Bret, Bobby, C.C. and Rikki do but I don't feel this deserves 5 stars. That said, the production is very good and there is a consistency to the track selection. If you dig what Poison does you will dig this.
Little Willy: Very well done. If you don't know the track, it's very upbeat and kicks off the album in excellent fashion.
Suffragette City: Honestly, does this song need to be covered by EVERYONE? It's on Warrant's covers cd, L.A. Guns 2/5's covers EP and I never liked it all that much to begin with... though this is probably my personal fav. version.
I Never Cry: Works very well! Bret sounds great here. Again, for anyone who doesn't know the song, it's a fabulous Alice Cooper ballad.
I Need To Know: It's played and sung well. I just don't personally care for the song. Uptempo but overly repetitive lyrics for my taste. Then again, Petty doesn't tend to impress me.
Can't You See: I really like this cover. Bret seems right at home. Reminds me of his solo album balladry.
What I Like About You: My favorite track on the disc! Wonderful guitar/harmonica blend for the solo and there is a great crunchy groove throughout. I like it better than the original. Highlight!
Dead Flowers: Most surprising and refreshing for me... I'm not a Rolling Stones fan but the song is great and this version is great (though I still think Gilby Clarke/Axl have it beat on Gilby's first solo disc).
Just What I Needed: Another one everyone seems to do... Bang Tango, Eric Martin of Mr. Big... I honestly don't care for this song enough to give it repeat listens. Bret sounds a little strained or rough in parts.
Rock and Roll All Nite: KISS... I like it but it seems out of place. Bret's vocals have changed too much to throw this in the mix and make it even more obvious. BUT I think it's an awesome track!
Squeeze Box: Decent song, lackluster cover. It's okay...
You Don't Mess Around With Jim: Jim Croce is amazing and this version is fresh and unique. Definitely worth a listen but it again highlights Bret's vocal changes.
Your Mama Don't Dance: Unnecessary on here. If they were putting EVERY previously released cover, fine, but they didn't so I don't think it should be here either.
We're An American Band: It okay. I never loved the original.
I'm not sure why everyone feels the need to record and sell cover cd's. Poison, Tesla, Styx, Toto, Warrant, and the list goes on... I really am tired of the concept. Play the stuff live and spend a little time writing and recording some new material. The true fans will buy everything new so it'd be nice to have bands work a little harder than just churning out some rehashed old stuff other artists wrote. Viva le Scorpions. Their NEW album is 5 stars. Also, it really irritates me that Poison enticed everyone into picking up the re-releases of LWTCDI and the newest Greatest Hits cd by adding a few tracks that now appear on this disc.
Of note, "Sexy Back" by Justin Timberlake is on the version of Poison'd sold solely at Walmart. For all you die-hards it's a pretty cool cover and definitely new territory. More in the vein of Power To The People (title track).
