Suck Out the Poison is the second full-length studio album by American rock band He Is Legend, released on October 3, 2006. It was produced and mixed by Steve Evetts. It received mixed reviews from long-time fans due to a major difference in vocalist Schuylar Croom's vocals. The FAQ section of their website addresses this:

Touring constantly, smoking constantly, and drinking occasionally are all going to have effects on your voice. What you eat for breakfast will also have an effect on your voice. Some of the change in Schuylar's voice came from him wanting to do something with more character, and part of it was his natural voice changing.
