4.0 out of 5 stars good, but not great!, June 13, 2000

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...

4.0 out of 5 stars Power to Poison, June 15, 2000

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

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.
