Apparently disappointed with critical hatred of their previous work,
Poison
made a bid to be taken seriously after the massive success of
Open Up and Say...Ahh!
Even the title of
Flesh & Blood
indicates a desire for more substance and reality in their music, as do darker songs like
"Valley of Lost Souls,"
"(Flesh & Blood) Sacrifice,"
"Life Loves a Tragedy,"
and a more reflective power
ballad
,
"Life Goes On."
There's still the adolescent sleaze of the Top Five hit
"Unskinny Bop,"
but for the most part,
Poison
shies away from party anthems in favor of
Bret Michaels
' toughness-in-the-face-of-tribulation philosophizing. Sometimes it works surprisingly well, aided by the band's most consistent songwriting and a wider musical range that occasionally veers into swampy
blues-rock
. At other times, though,
Michaels
comes off as well intentioned but too self-consciously proud of his own ambition to recognize when he oversteps his bounds, as on parts of the hit
ballad
"Something to Believe In."
Compared to their earlier output,
Flesh & Blood
is by no means a bad album (especially with the presence of one of their best songs,
"Ride the Wind,"
an ode to motorcycles and their surrounding lifestyle). It's just not what
Poison
does
best

Capitol
