Open Up and Say… Ahh! is the second studio album by American glam metal band Poison, released on April 27, 1988, through Enigma Records. It proved to be the band’s most successful release, and spawned four hit singles: “Nothin’ But a Good Time”, “Fallen Angel”, “Your Mama Don’t Dance” (a Loggins and Messina cover) and their only number one single to date, “Every Rose Has Its Thorn”. The album peaked at number two on the US Billboard 200.

Open Up And Say Ahh was certified platinum in 1988 and 5× platinum in 1991 by the RIAA.[6] It also has been certified 4× platinum in Canada and gold by the BPI.

Poison’s best album still has a bit of filler that fails to deliver the big hooks and catchy riffs of their best material; when that happens, Bret Michaels’ affected “rawk & rowl” singing accent begins to grate. But thankfully, that doesn’t happen very often on Open Up and Say…Ahh!, which solidified the group’s status as hair metal’s top party band. The ballad “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” Poison’s only number one hit, and the Top Ten “Nothin’ But a Good Time” became their most widely recognized signature songs; a cover of Loggins & Messina’s “Your Mama Don’t Dance” also hit the Top Ten, and the sometimes-overlooked “Fallen Angel,” one of their best songs, got plenty of MTV airplay. But the agreeable raunch of album tracks like “Love on the Rocks,” “Good Love,” and “Look But You Can’t Touch” helps make Open Up and Say…Ahh! Poison’s best overall album. – Steve Huey
