Poison--Flesh and Blood

Poison--Flesh and Blood (1990/Capitol) Rating--6.3

Better than the band's last disc, but their commercial appear really begins to drop after this one. Not as cheesy/glamy, and the lyrics show a bit more maturity as well. However, not as overal party-hearty or energetic, either.
One of the band's best cuts ever hails from here, "(Flesh & Blood) Sacrifice". Solid, with a great chorus. The MTV hit "Unskinny Bop" kept the album sales up, but better songs are "Strange Days of Uncle Jack," "Come Hell or High Water," "Ride the Wind," and the bluesy, chunky "Ball and Chain."
"Life Goes On" is a pretty good slow song, and got a little video play as well.
