===''Power to the People'' and ''Hollyweird'' (2001β2002)=== After the Poison reunion DeVille soon released his solo album, ''[[Samantha 7]]'', and Michaels released the solo/Poison album ''Show Me Your Hits'' which featured re-recorded Poison classics. The album featured Michaels performing Poison hits in a new way and also featured other artists with Michaels on selected tracks. Poison also released ''[[Power to the People (Poison album)|Power to the People]]'', their first album with DeVille in nine years. The record contained five new studio songs: "[[Power to the People (Poison Song)|Power to the People]]" which features a music video, "Can't Bring Me Down", "[[The Last Song (Poison song)|The Last Song]]", "Strange", and "I Hate Every Bone In Your Body But Mine", the latter with DeVille on lead vocals for the first time. In May 2001 Poison released the web single "[[Rockstar (Poison song)|Rockstar]]" as a preview of the upcoming new album and went on tour with [[Warrant (American band)|Warrant]]. Poison's sixth full studio album, ''[[Hollyweird]]'', was released on May 21, 2002. It was Poison's first full album of new material with DeVille back in the band. The album was heavily criticized by both critics and fans, feeling it had poor production quality and an unimpressive new sound. One popular site said "It's muddy, under-produced, badly mixed and features crappy drum and guitar sounds".<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.melodicrock.com/reviews/poison-hollyweird.p3|publisher = Melodicrock.com|title = Review|url-status = dead|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20141210065900/http://www.melodicrock.com/reviews/poison-hollyweird.p3|archive-date = December 10, 2014|df = mdy-all}}</ref> Other reviewers were more impressed, such as [[AllMusic]], who declared it "one of Poison's best records, if not their best".<ref name=Hollyweird>{{cite web |url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/hollyweird-mw0000218175 |title=Hollyweird - Poison |website=[[AllMusic]] |access-date=September 28, 2015 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160331045206/http://www.allmusic.com/album/hollyweird-mw0000218175 |archive-date=March 31, 2016 }}</ref> A cover of ''[[The Who]]'' song "[[Squeeze Box (Poison single)|Squeeze Box]]" was released as the second single from the album on April 2, 2002.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://poisonfanclub.net/news/poison-set-hollyweird-release-date/ | title=POISON Set "Hollyweird" Release Date | date=April 2, 2002 }}</ref> The album's third and final single ''"[[Shooting Star (Poison song)|Shooting Star]]"'' was released on November 5, 2002.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.famousfix.com/topic/poison-hollyweird-album | title=Poison - Hollyweird Discography, Track List, Lyrics }}</ref> As of 2025 <ref>"Shooting Star"</ref> is the band's most recent original song that has been released as a single.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.metaledgemag.com/metal-wire/bret-michaels-wants-poison-to-write-a-modern-day-you-shook-me-all-night-long | title=Bret Michaels wants Poison to write a modern-day 'You Shook Me All Night Long' }}</ref>
