Album Review

Poison's best album still has a bit of filler that fails to deliver the big hooks and catchy riffs of their best material; when that happens, Bret Michaels' affected "rawk & rowl" singing accent begins to grate. But thankfully, that doesn't happen very often on Open Up and Say...Ahh!, which solidified the group's status as hair metal's top party band. The ballad "Every Rose Has Its Thorn," Poison's only number one hit, and the Top Ten "Nothin' But a Good Time" became their most widely recognized signature songs; a cover of Loggins & Messina's "Your Mama Don't Dance" also hit the Top Ten, and the sometimes-overlooked "Fallen Angel," one of their best songs, got plenty of MTV airplay. But the agreeable raunch of album tracks like "Love on the Rocks," "Good Love," and "Look But You Can't Touch" helps make Open Up and Say...Ahh! Poison's best overall album. [The 2006 Capitol reissue contains two bonus tracks.]

Classic Glam Rock at it's Best

Poison is the ultimate "glam metal" band, and this is the album that made them famous. While glam metal bands are usually dismissed musically, CC DeVille shines on this record. Lots of hits, but some of the lesser known songs (Bad To Be Good, Love On the Rocks, Look But You Can't Touch) are equally as good.

Who doesn't remember the songs (and videos) Fallen Angel, Every Rose Has It's Thorn, and Nothing But a Good Time?

Poison

A good time indeed

I loved poison when I was in high school and I still love them!!

In a decade fueled by party anthems and power ballads, Poison enjoyed a great amount of popularity, with only Bon Jovi and Def Leppard outselling them. While the group had a long string of pop-metal hits, they soon became just as renowned for their stage show, and continued to be a major attraction long after the '80s came to a close (bringing the commercial downfall of pop-metal with it). Meanwhile, frontman Bret Michaels reinvented himself as a reality TV star in 2007, and his involvement...
