The glam slam kings of noise are back! Poison's first material in a decade with the original lineup is a boombastic affair. With five new tracks and the rest old favorites recorded in concert, POWER is an excellent signpost to where this band has been and where it's going.
The title track keeps things current with a ferociously modern rock sound, while "Can't Bring Me Down" is a snappy, midtempo number reminiscent of the band's debut album. "The Last Song" is a well-crafted power ballad by the boys who practically invented the genre, and "I Hate Every Bone in Your Body But Mine" shows guitarist C.C. DeVille taking over lead vocals on a punky, metal number similar to the songs on his fantastic side project SAMANTHA 7. Playing live is Poison's forte, and from the opening chords of "Look What the Cat Dragged In," they show that they're rocking harder than ever, while retaining their unique chemistry. And talking of chemistry, C.C. DeVille's immense guitar solo proves that after a battle with drugs and alcohol, the new, healthy C.C. is also an improved one. "Nothin' But a Good Time" and "Talk Dirty to Me" end this thunderous affair with a bang, and show there are still FUN rock bands in the world.
