Free Music Notes for Power to the People
Free Music Review: good, but not great!
Hit: 4 Stars
I purchased this cd today, and I'm a little disappointed. The first 5 songs are new studio tracks, and I like 4 of them. Power to the People is a little heavy, unlike Poison a little. Can't Bring me Down is a little more like it. The Last Song and Strange are ballads. I Hate Every Bone In You're Body But Mine is a great tune, first lead vocal by C.C. Great tune! Totally fast and upbeat. I was a little disapointed by the live songs. I went to their concert last year, and in person, I thought it was a lot better. I don't think they mixed it or overdubbed anything. It's sounds pretty raw. Overall I think it's a good cd. I'm going to the concert in Aug., they do put on one hell of a show. I hope this review helped some people out. For all the Poison fans out there, you definently want to buy it, but it probably won't bring any new fans. Overall 4 stars, good, but not great! You need to go out and buy Crack a Smile and More. This is truly a very, very, good cd. Too bad C.C. isn't on it though. Blues is a good player though. Peace...Free Music Review: Great to see these guys recording and touring!

I'll keep this simple. If your a Poison fan, you will enjoy their latest effort. The first 5 songs were recorded in the studio and represent a very diverse Posion. The title track blew me out of my seat. Very heavy for a Posion song. The other 4 songs are very diverse with each not sounding anything like the next. The remaining 10 tracks were recorded live on their 1999 Summer tour. The sound is not the greatest on the live stuff but the songs bring back great memories. It doesn't appear that they have "touched-up" the live recordings at all in the studio. I think this is a good thing. I always feel ripped-off when I buy a so-called live album that really isn't live at all, but touched up in the studio where they add vocals, punch-in guitar riffs, even splice portions of a song from different shows together (eg. Guns 'N Roses "Live Era"). If you want a true-to-life live Poison record with some cool new studio stuff to boot, look no further. Power to the people! Free Bird baby, yeah!Free Music Review: Solid

This was an album that I've been wanting since I heard about it a year ago and I finally got it as a Christmas gift. It was worth the wait.
This has five original songs, only one of which really deviates from the Poison tradition and that song is Powere to the People.Yes the title track of this album is a different direction for the band but good regardless.The other four will be recognizable instantly to the Poison Fan's ear.
The real stand out of the record is I Hate Every Bone In Your Body But Mine sung by the one and only C.C. DeVille.The infamous guitarist flexes his singing skills on the song and actually sounds very good.
The majority of the album however is live.There is nothing wrong with that though some believe it should've been left to the band's Swallow This Live album but I own that CD aswell and prefer Power to the People because it seems a more energetic recording probably due to the fact that the band had just reunited.
Overall this is a solid peice of work.
Free Music Review: The New Songs are Great! The live stuff, well...
Hit: 4 Stars
I cannot understand why Poison didn't do an entire new CD, instead of putting 5 new songs in with a bunch of live retreads that you can get on SWALLOW THIS LIVE. The new songs are great, let me tell you, and they show a new level of maturity, which, I feel, has moved them to a level above novelty (something I always considered Poison to be). The new songs really make a case for the future, and "Power to the People" manages to go rock/rap and succeed (although I really don't see the band going farther down this path). It's close to me, because you have to deal with the live stuff, but I think the CD's worth it for the new stuff (if you have a CDR, like me, I just burned it onto my own Poison greatest hits CD). "Last Song" is a great ballad, which manages to be heartfelt and about something a little deeper than your basic, "I love you" or "you left me" stuff. Now I'm waiting for a new Poison CD...Free Music Review: Power to Poison

The album kicks off with 5 studio tracks, the last song"I hate every bone in body except mine" sung by CC, which to my surprise was quite catchy, I may even buy the Samantha 7 record on the strength of it. The other 4 songs are very good and shall be listened to for many a day. With the live tracks you get nothing you have not really heard before, there are no tracks of Native Tongue or Crack A Smile which is a bit of a let down (maybe CC can't play em!). On the whole a good CD the live quality is not brilliant but you can tell that there have been no overdubs. If you are a Poison fan buy it for your collection if you are new to Poison just buy it anyway for the 5 studio tracks. END
