Emergence

Power to the People had only included five new songs and was supplemented with 12 live tracks recorded on a 1999 tour. For 2002, the band therefore planned to record a full studio album. The group joined Henson Studios in 2001 and shortly thereafter released their first single , Rockstar, on their website.
The album was released on May 21, 2002, the second single was a cover version of The Who song Squeeze Box was released. The third single was the song Shooting Star .

reception
Daniel Böhm wrote for Rock Hard that after the “high-quality hard rock delicacies Native Tongue and Crack A Smile ”, Poison was “once again with something like musical arbitrariness.” Hollyweird was “far from reaching the musical depth of the two previous albums "- and this is" only partly due to the fact that instead of the two mega guitarists Richie Kotzen and Blues Saraceno , the inexperienced CC DeVille is rocking the stage again ". The album could be described “almost as a step backwards to 1986” - in fact “slippery good-mood rockers like Wishfull Thinkin or Shooting Star reminded of Open Up and Say… Ahh! and Look What the Cat Dragged In “. The three songs sung by DeVille sounded "like better material from his rightly flopped pop-mini-punk-rock project Samantha 7" and provided for variety - but, like all the other tracks on the disc, could have used a lush production . Hollyweird is "in view of the drastic decrease in substance compared to the two previous biscuits only partially recommended for inexperienced ears, but still an entertaining affair for fans of the troupe."
