The first five nee tracks were great and that was what I was 'expecting' the next full cd to sound like. Great production and songwriting here. Too bad that they last that after this cd. Hollyweird sucked

The five new studio tracks on this CD are great. If 'Hollyweird' had continued with that sound, none of the fans would be complaining. On 'Power...,' the band sounds tight, with top-notch production, and the songs deliver what you have come to expect from POISON--good guitars, good vocals, good hooks, good harmonies, etc., etc. Personally, I didn't think 'Hollyweird' was terrible, but it certainly didn't give the people what they wanted, not like this album did.

Tracks 2,3 and 4 are good new songs. #1 I did not like and #5 I do not like to hear CC sing. The live part was done very cheap and is sub-par. An ok album to have but i think that a 7.0 is my rating

'Power To The People' had me building up my anticipation for months and months up to Poison's next release, 'Hollyweird'. The first four tracks (with Bret on the vocals) had me totally psyched for what was to come. Then 'Hollyweird' came. Decent songs, yeah. Good production? Not a chance. the lyrics and the songs could have used a lot of working on. If they had made us wait another few months for a solid record that would have been great. But, nooo. Poison, hire Zito back & produce a solid cd.

The new songs are good, but the live songs are the same ones that were on SWALLOW THIS LIVE. They could have at least put some songs on here that they hadn't recorded live before.

I didn't like this cd at first but it has grown on me. I wish they could have kept this sound for Hollyweird.

New songs were great. Live tracks are done well. This is Poison doing what they due best. Just Rock N' Roll and love 'em for it. Glam for ever.

No se que tan efectivo fuera volver despues de casi 10 años con otro disco en vivo, con un setlist casi idéntico al del Swallow This Live. Entre los temas nuevos destaca el sonido bastante moderno de Power To The People. Insisto en que a C.C. no deberian dejarlo cantar.

WHY THEY DIDN'T WRITE A COUPLE OF SONG MORE...AND MADE A COMPLETE STUDIO ALBUM....THIS LIVE SUCKS..BUT THE NEW TRACKS ARE AWESOME... I WAS STARTING TO THINK THAT POISON COULD BE THE KING OF THE MOUNTAIN AGAIN...BUT HOLLEYWEIRD SENT THEM TO THE BOTTON...

the production on the live tracks is very bad, you'd expect more from poison, the new tracks are very good, except for 'I Hate..', why does CC sing? Its not a bad song, but i just don't like CC's voice, he'd better stick to the guitar. (oh and the little live 'solo' from cc is terrible

i really had a kick out of the new songs on this 'compilation'.All 5 songs are really killers and the live material on this disc, well, it didn't shock me at all cos poison is the sort of band you have to experience live instead of listening to them live on a cd. power to the people!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry but this is crap. I like Poison a fair deal (especially the Kotzen-era albums), but this is just trash. Horrible horrible modern pop-rock songs combined with pop-punk... yuck. Not the sleazy metal band I once knew, or even the bluesy rock band I was pleasantly surprised by in the mid-90s.

Did't care much for the live stuff but the new song's were great specialy The Last Song they should had made this there hit....

This album was a great memento of that summer's tour with Cinderella, Dokken, and Slaughter that we were priveliged to attend. 'Power To The People' is the heaviest Poison song ever and 'I Hate Every Bone...' would probably have been a hit if it had been released under a different band name. The live stuff is quite raw but that's the point, isn't it? Great band, great tour, great memories.

One Poison live album was bad enough, but two? The one thing that this album has going for it are the new tracks. They are better than anything on the follow up album. 5/10

They were a good band in 80's, but now they lost in time, I like the band in 80's, but now, I think they should quit for good.

Oh how I used to love these guys, and still do but this was surely the start to their mighty decline. I love 'Strange' but feel they're trying to be Matchbox 20. Great song, but the other 4 new ones aren't that grand. the live stuff is okay I guess, but just not the kind of album Poison needed to make in order to stay relevant.

For those of you who say that poison were in for the money,then why they have never turn grunge/alternative like so many of the other 80's hair bands do? As far as i know,poison love their music,they love hair metal and remain true to themselves. they never follow the grunge trend.Thtas what separate them from others and the reason why so many fans remain loyal to them. Anyway, this album is a classic! power to poison! ratings:9/10

jack... you know what they don't do grunge? because after playing songs live like Talk Dirty, Every Rose, Fallen Angel, Flesh & Blood etc they try and pull a boner-like grunge, alternative, punk rock piece of shit, the fans booooo. We don't wanna hear this garbage. We're sleaze-glam, party-rock, feel good 80's type Poison fans. 99& of the fans that go to their shows go because of what their music was like before this, not because of this. 1.5/10 - because I love the name of track #5.

But none of their album sounded like grunge right-not like dokken's dysfunctional,motley crue's generation swine,warrant's ultraphobic or ratt's collage(but not as extreme as the other 3). sometimes they sound a bit weak or modern but never grunge.

I agree with Jack. Poison changed their sound a bit for Native Tongue (still their weakest) but never sold out completely like the aforementioned bands. They never pulled a Belly 2 Belly. They never did the whole Motley Crue. They remained true and, as a result, have my respect. Not the best band ever, but then they never claimed to be. Just what they are. They're Poison.

I really like I Hate Every Bone In Your Body. It's different but very catchy.

Enjoyable album mostly because the live set that's included...is not a secret that Poison live is a wild crazy glam party!!! ...about the new songs(tracks 1 to 5)are pretty good but far from reaching an status into Poison's greatest hits..."Power To The People" & "I Hate Every Bone In Your Body(But Mine)" both kick a**,"The Last Song" is a typical Poison's softy one and "Strange" reminds me of Tom Petty and all that country side feel that Bret Michaels has always admired or shown...85/100
