Even though I primarily listen to the heavier side of metal, I've reviewed and enjoyed a fair few glam metal albums over the years; indeed, I have a somewhat soft spot for the over-the-top, 'so cheesy it would kill a lactose intolerant person', pop rock that glam offers. In three years reviewing albums I never got round to the creme-de-la-crap that is Poison, a band that even glamsters acknowledge as the cheesiest of them all.

I remember television advertisements for this album back in 1988 (in Australia). Never made me want to get it though. I had enough sense to avoid it.
