Ep. 116 Poison - Flesh N Blood - Review & Reaction!

Released on June 21, 1990, Poison's third studio album, "Flesh & Blood," is a quintessential glam metal record that showcases the band's ability to blend catchy hooks, anthemic choruses, and a touch of bluesy grit. The album marked a significant point in Poison's career, both in terms of musical evolution and commercial success. It reached number 2 on the Billboard 200 chart and produced several hit singles that solidified Poison's place in the rock pantheon.

 

"Flesh & Blood" came at a time when glam metal was peaking in popularity. The album's success contributed to the mainstream acceptance of the genre, bridging the gap between the more theatrical elements of 1980s rock and the rawer, more introspective sounds that would define early 1990s rock. Its mix of party anthems and introspective ballads captured the spirit of the era and influenced many subsequent bands in the glam and hard rock scenes.
