Apparently disappointed with critical hatred of their previouswork, Poison made a bid to be taken seriously after the massivesuccess of Open Up and Say…Ahh! Even the title of Flesh & Bloodindicates 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 reflectivepower ballad, “Life Goes On.” There’s still the adolescent sleazeof the Top Five hit “Unskinny Bop,” but for the most part, Poisonshies away from party anthems in favor of Bret Michaels’toughness-in-the-face-of-tribulation philosophizing. Sometimes itworks surprisingly well, aided by the band’s most consistentsongwriting and a wider musical range that occasionally veers intoswampy blues-rock. At other times, though, Michaels comes off aswell intentioned but too self-consciously proud of his own ambitionto recognize when he oversteps his bounds, as on parts of the hitballad “Something to Believe In.” Compared to their earlier output,Flesh & Blood is by no means a bad album (especially with thepresence of one of their best songs, “Ride the Wind,” an ode tomotorcycles and their surrounding lifestyle). It’s just not whatPoison does best.
