Title: The Greatest Poison Album
Review: With "Flesh and Blood", Poison really hit their stride. They brought their passion for blues crashing into the mainstream, with Brett Michaels showing signs of real maturity and ethusiasm on almost every track.Highlights include, first and foremost, the experimental "Unskinny Bop", where CC Deville's guitar work and Riki Rocket's drumming both show a ten-fold increase in quality over previous albums, and "Valley of Lost Souls", where the whole band's energy is palpable. They take risks with these tracks, and find enormous success. And, both sound incredible on this remastered release! Other highlights include "Ball and Chain", "Flesh and Blood", "Poor Boy Blues" and "Something to Believe In". The band takes time to craft intelligence and moments of special interest into both ballads and rock tracks. As a whole, the third album is fun and energetic, but also deeply reflective.Unfortunately, not long after this record, Poison's popularity and creativity began to deteriorate.
