Album Overview

Released in 1988, Open Up and Say... Ahh! is one of Poison's most successful albums and a strong example of late-1980s glam metal. The record combines catchy guitar riffs, melodic choruses, polished production and Bret Michaels' recognizable vocals. “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” “Nothin' but a Good Time,” and “Fallen Angel” demonstrate the band's ability to move between power ballads and energetic hard rock. This Japanese CBS/Sony pressing is an appealing collectible for 1980s metal fans.
