| This could have been a great album ranking with the first three but the shortness of the songs and the fact that CC gets to sing three songs really brings the album down. When i listen to posion i want to hear Bret sing, CC burn on guitar, Bobby's bass in my face and Rikki's drums pulsating in the back. that is all i want plus one great ballad, which this does ont have, nothing less, nothing more. I give it a 8/10 for Bretts songs a -2 for c.c.singing

| I don't have a huge problem with Deville doing the lead vocals on maybe one track, but three is overkill. C.C.'s style is totally pop-punk (Blink 182, Green Day) and he is fun to listen to but I don't want too much of that on a Poison cd. I am a tad disappointed in 'Hollyweird'--I have been waiting for a long time for the their follow-up to 'PTTP' & my expectations where high. This album rocks like the 80's, though and most of it is along the lines of 'Open Up And Say...Ahh!',

| so that's not really a bad thing. By far, the 2 best songs on this rcrdng are the title-track 'Hollyweird', and 'Shooting Star'. Why they chose to release some B-side soundng cover song as their 1st single is beyond me. I think that that was the wrong step to take. Track #10 or even 'Get Ya Some' are more qualified as singles than their vrsion of 'Squeeze Box'. Of CC's 3 tunes, I'd say 'Emperor's New Clothes' ranks the highest. Overall, 'HW' is bitchin', but it will tke some time to grow on you.

| The production is among the worst I've ever heard. The sound is very shallow with no depth. I like the Poison of old with the wall of sound. Hollyweird was a very cheaply put together record with piss poor songwriting. Even the 5 new songs on Power To The People were much better. I'm glad I downloaded the whole album to listen to first. I saved myself $15 that I can now spend on something worthwhile. I love Poison, but the new cd is a beercoaster. And to think I waited this long to hear this?

| What the?!?! Man it's gotta suck for bands like this. Progress even a fraction and the fans are all over you but on the other hand stick with what you know and do well and the fans bitch anyways!!! This is a great Poison cd to me pure & simple. My only complaint is that the C.C. songs just sound so out of place here and while not horrible you'll find yourself skipping them on every listen. Kudos to these guys for sticking to their guns and making a great pop-metal album!!!!

| Sounds like POISON put their songwriting skills on cruise control for this one, because while (most of) the songs are good, none of them will go down as classics. Still, POISON at half-throttle is still better than most of the crap out there nowadays. No, it's not 'Flesh & Blood: Part II' like so many fans (myself included) hoped for, but it's still a pretty solid pop/hair-metal album from one of the few bands still waving that banner.

| I think that the engineering and mixing sucks. Thomas Panunzio himself is a good producer. He has produced everything from Black Sabbath to Hericane Alice to Motorhead. Don't place all the blame on the producer.

| Maybe it's because 990f the 'modern rock' sucks, or maybe I'm 'trapped in the 80's',but I LOVE this CD. 'Get Ya Some' 'Shooting Star' & 'Living in the Now' (which CC does vox on)are the best cuts here. It's pretty simple, if you've ever been a Poison fan, you should like, possibly love this CD,as they really haven't deviated that much from the sound they had on Open Up, or Flesh & Blood.

Wow!...C.C. is singing on this one???? That's a mistake. I haven't heard any but I have to imagine that C.C. sounds like Micky Mouse? I also wonder if he will sing live on stage? And if he does, what will Bret do during those songs? He might go back stage and shoot up with his needle collection or something. If this is what it took to keep Deville in the band than I say give him the boot (again)! Just knowing that he sings lead on this album makes me NOT want to buy it!

| Fabulous new album from the legends of the glam metal genre. They started it all in 1986.I bet with this one, they'll start again some HAIR METAL REVIVAL.All songs are good on this cd, it's true that's the production is not top-notch, but it just tends to proove that this is not the sound that make good songs.Some bands are overrated, just because they got a big budget and a huge sound.All you have to do with HOLLYWEIRD is turn your stereo a little bit LOUDER and enjoy each and every track!!!

| Back to basics on this one, and it sounds good to my ears. I agree with everyone else about the production, but was that the intent? Going back to '86? Sounds like it anyway. CC isn't a great singer, but I do enjoy 'Emperor's...'. Fave tune is probably Hollyweird.

| THUNDERDAN,I concur with your latest prognostication about Hollyweird. I opened a line of communication with some esteemed colleages who I do business with and say exactly what you said. I procured this album and I am quite flabbergasted by the recorded material. But in 86-88 that was the height of there commercial apex, and I dont think they will recapture it. I do agree with you, its a solid album that will please the auditory senses!!!! thank you kindly!

Melodicrock.com is a very reliable news source for all things rock (real rock and roll not that Drowning Pool/Sugar Ray bullshit) and the reviews are great as well. When I first read the review a few days back I couldn't have agreed more. Good songs, bucket-of-piss mixing and sound production.

| A good party glam album, Poison always know how to let the good times roll. I agree with Dok 6008, Deville better take care only about the guitar parts, It's true his vocal style really sound like Blink182. Also James is right, Where are the power ballads on this? However I like it and I'm happy they keep party rock alive. 8 out of 10 is my rating.

| To me, this CD rocks! I can listen to every song on here. Even though many people seem to hate CC's singing, I do not mind it...sure, it is nasal and can get annoying, but the songs sound awesome. My personal favorites on the album are 'Hollyweird', 'Shooting Star', and 'Wasteland'. 'Stupid, Stoned, and Dumb', though corny, is awesome, too. There is one bone I do have to pick with this album: it's loaded with cliches and some cheesy lyrics. Still, I feel it is underappreciated. The music rules.

| I don't know how many of you out there watch NASCAR racing, but this last race that was just run yesterday had a Poison/Hollyweird race car. The driver of the car was Derrike Cope (winner of the 1990 Daytona 500) and the car number was 37. He only completed 58 of 175 laps. He had engine trouble and out of 43 cars, Derrike finished 35th place (he started 41st).

You have to give it up to poison for not doing the gimick thing like having a bunch of special guest like limp bizkit, or matchbox 20 appear on their album to try to get sales by selling out to todays 'stars'. too many other's are inviting the stars of today to play on their albums to get sales.

| Well... let's just say this isn't my favorite Poison album. The two versions of HOME was a bit of overkill. CC sings about two songs too many. The production sounds rushed. The lyrics to many of the songs are pretty lame. This album isn't all that terrible, but it kinda sounds like they didn't put that much effort into it.

| I've seen Poison 5 times in concert now. The first time I listened to C.C. sing (live) 'I hate every bone...' I thought I was listening to Green Day! Its different, but not necessarily bad. Though, how many times are they gonna remake Fallen Angel on this album? Shooting star & Wishful Thinking have the same basic theme as Fallen Angel. Stupid Stoned and Dumb is actually my favorite! At least its creative! I love Poison! If you havent seen them in concert, you're really missing out!

| Being a huge Poison fan and eagerly anticipating this album, I was majorly disappointed. Power To The People puts this record to shame and it only has five new recordings. The guitar riffs are okay, but the lyrics are inane and hooks are non-existant. Go buy Bret's new solo album in April... it's what Hollyweird should have been (No coked-out freak singing lead vocals).

| Why did they replace the ballads with Samantha 7 songs? they could have used a couple of tracks from the Brett Micheals' 'Country Demos' Cd and left off that 'I wanna go home' crap and this would have been a great Poison CD. I dig Samantha 7 but not on a poison cd.

| Listen to this album after listening to ANY of the other albums. It doesn't hold a CANDLE; the songwriting is weak (esp. the lyrics!) and the album is just boring. I loved the new songs on Power to the People, loved 'Crack a Smile' and 'Native Tongue' - and really loved the others. But this one blows. I don't see how people actually like it. I wish they'd take their time and write a good one!

| Geez, this band sure gets over analyzed. It's Poison for pity sake! Is the production good? No, it sucks as bad as the production on Look What the Cat Dragged In. Do the songs make profound statements about the human condition and what it's like to be an emotional being? No, they're about sex and partying and making your way in the big city. Will this CD go down as a classic? No, but it's still a WAY above average Hair Metal album from perhaps the greatest Hair Metal band of all time. Snag one.

Get CC Deville out of the band again, he's absolutely ruining them, turning Poison into a freakin pop-punk band like Blink 182. Man this freakin sucks - and whats with the basement-production? Shotgun Messiah's excellent Second Coming album had absolutely astounding production... and those guys were broke! I expect better from rich-boys like this. Oh and the songs suck too.

C.C. needs to put out another solo album. They are still the best live band, but lets hope any further studio albums return to the true poison form.

| The title track “Hollyweird” is a great opener, with fist pumping, infectious riffs and lyrics reflective of the decadence of Hollywood, CA. The first single is a cover of The Who’s “Squeeze Box” where CC’s guitar is up front and in your face. “Shooting Star” could have easily been called Fallen Angel part 2. “Wishful Thinking “ is an anthem of misdirected teenage ambition and contains a riff comparable to that of J.Geils' “Love Stinks.” Good old fashioned 80’s rock, the way it should be.

| Despite what other people say about poison,fans of hark rock/metal owe poison some.Their music may be 'pop'like or 'wussy' and all that,but they work hard and extremely loyal to their fans,right? They are the band that fuelled and keep hard rock alive,not some crap so-called hard rock band called the darkness! This album though not as good as the first three,its at least better than most of those nonsense nu-metal album produce nowadays! I SALUTE YOU,POISON-GLAM HERO!

| I owe Poison nothing!! I wouldn't piss on em if they were on fire. Talentless, un original and totally overrated. Jack please stop force feeding your kack on everyone. The only loyalty shown to fans is if they are female and they can fuck em.They did not keep hard rock alive and these comments go against previous pearls of wisdom you have honoured us with. Make your mind up.

| Well, one good thing i like about poison is they never jump or try to fit into the grunge or alternative scenes and music back when hard rock/metal were waning in the mid 90's unlike dokken,warrant and even motley crue. Apart from that,they produce average hard rock music and are exremely good at entertaining people and the band are full of charisma. No wonder they have so many fans!

| Afortunadamente hasta día de hoy no había escuchado nada de este disco, más que nada por las malas críticas que tenía. En un principio los temas si suenan a poison por los 4 lados, y es que esto precisamente es lo peor, ya que ni así se salva, son temas malos y descafeinados, bueno malos no, terribles... (esceptuando la 3ª que me ha gustado) Apartir de la segunda mitad entran una serie de temas que ya ni tienen que ver con Poison y son modernillos, vamos aun peores si cabe... 3,5/10

| i thinks this is a record that only old poion fans will listen, nobody more is interested in this shit, ithink even the new stuff of aerosmith, bon jovi or metallica is better than this thing, i havent lsiten to it(and dont want to)but for what i have lsiten it ispure shit and what i also have realized is that nobody want to listen it, only diehard fans form poison listen to it.

| Thanks for the insightful review there, andrew. Do you work for Rolling Stone magazine? You should. As for the album, I'm not a diehard Poison fan and I still like it. But what do I know? I actually listened to the whole thing. Imagine.

| jejeje, maybe bounce is not a gem, but is better than this shit, and what i say...its true, i think yuo are the exceprtion, to give you an example i know a friend that is from colombia(latin american country if you dont know..)he said me that everyone knows 'everyday' (bon jovi's bounce track) but no one knows the last 5 works forom poison, the latest known track there is 'ride the wind' jejeje, and that is in much other places.oh i forget one little thing...roling stone magazine is the worst...

| Can a band that scored 3 consecutive triple platinum in their first album considered crap? Look,look what the cat dragged in,open up and say.ah and flesh and blood are the best triple combination hard rock.metal album by the same artist in my opinion.

| Fact 1 - I love Poison, and all of their releases. Fact 2 - that was in a time before I heard this mess, pile of shit, round anus pad... whatever you want to call it. I hate this CD and this is not what Poison are about at all. I don't mind 'Shooting star' but it's a pathetic rip off of their own 'Fallen angel' and sounds 100 times worse. The band sound like a garage band at best and the songs are poor, uninspired pieces of crap. Do I still love Poison? Yes and I pray the next one will be better

| for me this band sucks, bret michael sings like micky mouse with a cold, c.c deville is very mediocre(kotzen is wayyyy better),dont care for the bass player, and richie rocket is one of hte worst drummer i have ever listen to, he was only show and no action, poor drummer.posion sounds so cheesy and bad that i can get along with it,its simply bad.

Enjoyable album but far from being a "fantastic one"...nothing to do with some other really fine moments of the band,musically talking...my faves in here are "Hollyweird","Shooting Star"(AORish),"Devil Woman","Wasteland","Home"(in its two versions) & "Rockstar"...as i said...enjoyable...no more...82/100

| Hmmm...The original members are there, the riffs are there, the formulaic songwriting is there, so why does this album suck? They all sound completely bored.

| I've just listened to the album for the first time ever: Beginning to End... If you Love Poison then you will find something you like..as I did..While there is no song "Greatest Hits" worthy, my faves are "Shooting Star", "Stupid,Stoned and Dumb" and "Rockstar" The "Home (Bret's Story & C.C's Story)" as separate songs/lyrics was a cool idea/effort..I even liked "Livin' In the Now" with C.C. on Vocals...didn't sound at all like a Poison song, but is a pretty good tune standing on it's own.. I must agree with many of the above comments though, that the production quality/sound is far below top notch... Final Thoughts... Overall Album Grade... "C" Best Song Grade... "B minus" Either "Rockstar", "Shooting Star", or "Stupid,Stoned and Dumb"...I'll have to listen a few more times B4 I commit.. ROCK ON!! \m/ \m/

| Not up to par with Poison's earlier releases, however, much better than Native Tongue.
