80's metal at it's best!.......2007-05-26

GREAT ALBUM TO CLOSE OUT THE DECADE. STAND OUT TRACKS INCLUDE "POISON IVY" AND "HOUSE OF PAIN" WHICH WAS A TOP 40 HIT. I RECOMMEND THIS ALBUM TO ANY ROCK FAN.

Faster Pussycat - Wake Me When Its Over.......2007-02-18

Terrific album, but it's much better live, and when you're friends with the band members!

From the "Whatever happened to" file........2006-01-14

Yes, Faster Pussycat is one of those bands that will be remember as a one hit wonder with the ballad "House of Pain" which peaked at #9 on the Hot 100 Singles chart. They failed to match the success of Slaughter, Warrant, Firehouse, White Lion, Motley Crue, Def Leppard, AC/DC and Bad English.

This is from the "Whatever happened to" file.

A Hollywood music milestone........2005-11-07

This CD belongs alongside the era's best, right up there with Appetite, Dr. Feelgood, and Hysteria.

A major improvement over the debut, every song is memorable. 'Tattoo' is my favorite! I saw F.P. on this tour and it was obvious that they wouldn't be around forever, but at least they put some great tunes down while they were.

Only FP record worth buying, and it rocks.......2005-05-30

Late-`80s hair metal bands are a dime a dozen. As the trend reached its peak, labels signed furiously, systematically disregarding musical sincerity and talent.

Perhaps that's why this fantastic 1989 release slipped through the cracks. Though it was certified Gold and had a few hit singles, few remember it today.

Stylistically, "Wake Me When It's Over" sits somewhere between Poison and Guns N' Roses: glam enough to be somewhat cheesy at points, but hard-hitting enough to be taken seriously. They have toured with both bands.

The best track by far is the power ballad "House of Pain." It is a heartfelt song with lyrics about a deadbeat dad, so it doesn't feel as dated as most other `80s ballads ("Home Sweet Home," anyone?).

Though the rest of the record is overshadowed by "House of Pain," it is consistent and high-quality nonetheless. Much of the material revolves around the `80s-metal necessity of promiscuous sex, but others cover the topics of murder ("Cryin' Shame") and abortion ("Pullin' Weeds").

Standout tracks include the aggressive "Where There's a Whip There's a Way," the swaggering "Tattoo" and the love ballad "Please Dear."

Given the record sells used for about $5 nowadays, any fan of hair metal or blues-based hard rock will not be disappointed. It is one of `80s rock's best and most underrated moments.
