专辑介绍
by Steve Huey
Following right on the heels of the release of the aborted Crack a Smile sessions, Power to the People might interest some longtime fans, but it's probably borderline at best for anyone who isn't still a complete devotee. There are two distinct sections -- five new studio tracks and a sort of greatest-hits-live show recorded on their 1999 reunion tour with C.C. Deville -- and the liner notes don't give much background about either. The new material isn't bad, although the title track's nod to rap-tinged alternative metal comes off as awkward, more like an Aerosmith/&Walk This Way&-type rocker with no hooks. The others will appeal to longtime fans, though -- &Can't Bring Me Down& is a defiant rocker, &The Last Song& a typical Poison power ballad, and &Strange& a sort of electric/acoustic in-betweener. Furthermore, C.C. Deville makes his Poison lead vocal debut -- complete with vocoder-style effects! -- on the catchy (if unfortunately titled) &I Hate Every Bone in Your Body But Mine.& The concert portion is decent, but it isn't really necessary either (and Bret Michaels seems to have lost a bit of range). Hardcore fans will be pleased to have a memento of Deville's return to the band, and the decision to combine new studio tracks with what's essentially a fan souvenir certainly reflects Poison's status as a cult band in the year 2000. But it can't help giving the impression that the band didn't have enough songs (or, perhaps, confidence) to issue a full-fledged new studio album, and the release ends up less than satisfying.

- @黄色潜水艇(微笑，挥手，再见。)：《Power To The People》专辑是Poison在2000年的又一作品，专辑中收录了5首录音室新歌：“Power To The People ”, “Can\'t Bring Me Down ”, “The Last Song ”, “Strange ”和由C.C. DeVille（guitar）首次开腔演唱的“Hate Every Bone In Your Body But Mine ”，另外还收有13首乐队在1999年重聚的夏季巡演中的现场作品，那时候现场气氛棒极了！
