Шаблон:Album ratings Hollyweird is the sixth studio album by American glam metal band Poison, released on May 21, 2002, through Cyanide Music and debuted at No. 103 on the Billboard 200 chart and No. 8 on the Independent Albums chart[1] and sold 11,000 copies in its first week.[2] As of 2023, it is the band's most recent album of original material.

Musical style

The record brought together Poison's original lineup for the first full studio project since Flesh & Blood. The result was a combination of old and new sounds, with guitarist C.C. DeVille frequently preferring pop and punk rock sounds to the heavy metal style that had characterized Poison's previous records.Шаблон:Citation needed The band's new style was particularly evident in the songs "Emperor's New Clothes", "Livin' In the Now" and "Home (C.C's Story)", which featured DeVille on lead vocals.

Production and marketing

In the face of major label offers that would have required the band to re-record old material, the band decided to release the album through their own label, Cyanide Music. Hollyweird was recorded at Henson Recording Studios in Hollywood, California and Rock Central Studios in Sherman Oaks, California with producer Thom Panunzio and engineer Bob Koszela.

Songs

The album's themes revolve almost exclusively around the trials and tribulations of success in Hollywood, California—a theme that had previously been explored in the band's single "Fallen Angel" from their second album Open Up and Say... Ahh!.

The first single released from the album was "Rockstar", which was released on the web as a preview for the album; the second single was a cover of The Who song "Squeeze Box".
