From the sublime to…well, the album I reviewed before this one was by Plini, so from one end of the spectrum to the other.
Now, a lot of not very nice things a have been written and spoken about Poison, some of them justified I may add but people do forget that they sure know how to write a catchy rock song. Cry Tough, I Want Action, and Talk Dirty To Me all have that something that appealed to a huge section of the rock community in the late 80’s. Their albums sold in the squillions and a heavy rotation on MTV made Poison a household name. If you don’t take it all too seriously, then it’s just rock n’ roll right?
Well, I like my rock with a bit more substance but occasionally when there’s a full moon and wolves are howling I will play this just for the hell of it. The thing is CC is not a bad guitar player and I always thought he was too good for them. On that note, I’m going for Play Dirty as my favourite tune because CC riffs it up and plays a nice solo.
7.5/10 from The Grooveman.
