Wake Me When It's Over

Faster Pussycat's second album, Wake Me When It's Over, was a little less consistent than their debut; although a great deal of '80s hard rock was quite commercial, several songs here seem a little too calculated and insincere for their own good. The same triumvirate of influences as before dominate this album -- Mötley Crüe, Aerosmith, Guns N' Roses -- and the band scored its first hit with the power ballad "House of Pain."
