Search - Poison :: Look What the Cat Dragged in

Poison was the ultimate party band of the '80s; they seized on the trappings of pop metal, and played them to the hilt. While their music was never exactly original, it was fun, and it still is. Look What the Cat Dragged In is arguably their most entertaining album, because it was recorded before they tried to infuse their music with "serious" themes that ultimately dragged down their later recordings. The best songs on this album are the unabashed party anthems, including "I Want Action" and "Talk Dirty to Me". "Let Me Go to the Show" is pure tongue-in-cheek, its adolescent viewpoint and fervor showing just how well Poison knew their target audience. A guilty pleasure if ever there was one. --Genevieve Williams
