Full of guilty pleasures.

Review Score: (6/10)
The members of Poison weren't the greatest musicians, singers, songwriters, or arrangers. What the band had going for it was attitude to spare, gobs of energy, and charisma. And these are the elements that drive this greatest-hits set.

As with so many semi-competent hair-metal bands, Poison recorded albums that tended to contain one or two hook-filled hits while the rest of the album sank under the weight of brainlessness. But on Greatest Hits, you'll get the band's most famous tunes: Big piano ballad "Something to Believe In" (probably its best song, with a lyric almost approaching a conscience); the grinding "Unskinny Bop"; cheesy mall ballad "Every Rose Has Its Thorn", which nevertheless has its own simplistic charm; the infectious "Fallen Angel"; and some nice-sounding guitars (if not vocals) on "I Won't Forget You".

Without the sleaze and sweat of Motley Crue or the soaring lead vocals of Warrant, Poison stands as a peroxided, dated, awkward, yet not entirely pleasure-free chapter in the history of metal.
