Native Tongue

Native Tongue is the fourth studio album by American glam metal band Poison, released in 1993 through Capitol Records. It peaked at #16 on the Billboard 200, #20 on the UK Albums Chart and was certified gold by the RIAA on April 21, 1993. It has also been certified platinum in Canada.

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote that Native Tongue is "a bid for respect", with Poison largely eschewing their focus on party anthems for populist ballads, but believed that it often falls short, with Kotzen's playing "too proficient for the lite metal hooks that the rest of the band have mastered", but conceded that "Poison gets points for trying, and they do come up with some tracks, like the single 'Stand,' that could stand with some of their previous anthems."
