Excellent starter album with several potential hits. Maroon5 fans will love this album. A must buy!

The Good
The opening keyboard & organ tones on "Poison Kiss" are sure to make you scratch your head a bit, but the harmonic vocals and catchy chorus are sure to win you over in the end. Vocalist Kurtis John lays down some sweet melodies on both the microphone and piano on "Back Where We Belong." It's not hard to miss that The Last Goodnight is all about harmony. It's blatantly more apparent than on "Stay Beautiful." Soulful emotion and heartfelt lyrics are abundant on the ballad "This is the Sound." On the opposite end of the emotional spectrum is the mellow track "Return to Me." The progressive effects add texture to "Incomplete."

The Bad
The band's image doesn't fit their musical style. There are way too many ballads, when the band sounds so much better with upbeat material.

The Verdict
Poison Kiss is rich in vocal melodies and textured rhythms. Anytime you can work piano into rock music is always a plus in my book. Take out a few of the ballads and add more energetic rockers and you have yourselves a 5.

This is a great debut album and it's not getting enough attention. The band caught my attention after I listened to the song 'Pictures of You' on VH1. After listening to the sample tracks I decided to buy the album and it's worth every penny. Every single song on the album was very well made. The more I listen to them, the more I like the album. Beside 'Pictures of You, my other favorites are 'This is the Sound', 'Return to Me', and 'Incomplete'. It's an awsome band!

This is a great band that i grew up listening to their garage band Renata back in the day considering i live down the street from them. I recomend everbody to go out and buy this cd. They wont let you down.

"Poison Kiss" is an amazing debut album. I immediately fell in love with "Pictures of You" and the rest of the album really demonstrates superb craftmanship. The Last Goodnight is just one of many bands coming out lately like Keane, The Killers, Rooney, The Feeling, etc. that really have brought back actual talent to the music business. A concept that seemed to be completely forgotten during the dismal 90's--with every band sounding like everyone else and with a hollow, depressing sound.

Hats off to great talent like The Last Goodnight!

I found the "Picture" track on a multi-artist demo. Of the 21 song I ordered 3 CD'ds.
Of those 3 there was only one stand out.
Listen and wonder where the next CD is from this group!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was a part ofr the "MUSIC" biz, photo and writing, from the time of the "Beatles", yes I am an ole MF. This is NOT equal, whom is.
But the writing ability and styles, as well as the sound will make you realize how really-really-really real music can be.

I love every song on this cd- and the background music is great too, so I enjoyed this cd even before I knew the words.

From The Last Goodnight.

Each track is very well done, written and played. Not a song on the cd that i dont enjoy or wouldnt want to listen again. But a couple of them i do enjoy more they are: Good Love, In Your Arms and Incomplete (different from the BSB song of the same name)

Hopefully "Poison Kiss" takes off for the band. It's deserving of much recognition by many.

This is a great album. Like the review above, I enjoy every single song. The first 5 songs are more upbeat, while the later songs are all pretty soothing. No complaints whatsoever.

I am not going to write a long review, but all i have to say is WOW. i bought this cd after hearing the single "pictures of you" not expecting too much although it is a great song and i was definatley shocked to say the least. every song from top to bottom is amazing. there are no flaws in this album and this is for sure one of the best albums that ive ever listened to and i have a feeling i will be listening to this cd for a long time from my new favorite band, the last goodnight.

if you liked the first single or if youre just a fan of alternative rock i highly recommend this cd. it is absolutley great
