What's great about it: Catchy, melodic, riff laden Hair Metal, CC Deville on guitars
What's not so great: Nothing new to startle the musical senses
Poison are one of the true survivors of the heavily laden Hair Metal days of the '80's. I like any Rock & Roll survivor, I like Poison'd. The songs are really catchy and hook & riff saturated. "Little Willy" by Sweet is covered here with pure adrenaline, a great way to start off the album. "Suffragette City" by David Bowie is covered awesome as well, Poison rips through this song with abandon and it sticks. However, with all albums that are cover song based, there never seems to be enough newness to really get you psyched up and begging for more. Musically, especially with any genre of Metal, I need to absolutely be knocked off my feet with a cover album. "Just What I Needed" by The Cars is another standout song here done well. "Your Momma Don't Dance" by Loggins & Messina is the song that finds me singing the lyrics an hour later. I have always enjoyed listening to CC Deville play guitar, he is a quality player at that. The liner notes are 12 pages of band photos, song credits, and more credits. There are no lyrics in the liner notes. Overall, Bret Michaels, CC Deville, Bobby Dall and Rikki Rockett have created an album of cover songs that is good, clean, Hair Metal fun!

What's great about it: good tunes
What's not so great: could have done w/o the "David Bowie" tune
If you're lookin' for a cd to buy w/some cool cover tunes, this is the one to get. While there are some really cool "70's-'80's" tunes, as most cover-song albums go, you'll have to put up w/ a few songs you could do without. Such is the case with the Bowie track, "Suffrage City." "Dead Flowers"(by the Rolling Stones) is another one of those songs that falls under the same category of "songs I could do without." Overall, If you're looking for an album to rock out to, and you got $15 in your pocket because it's pay-day, this is the one to get. Also, one track that really rocks is:"What I Like About You"(by the Romantics)!!!
