I once heard someone comment that this debut is on-a-par with 'Gun's N' Roses' 'Appetite for Destruction', in my opinion the only thing these albums have in common is they were released in 1987. Well Ok, both contain a certain rawness and image wise they are almost identical, but when it comes to quality, this is a long way off the 'Gun's N' Roses' classic. Vocally 'Taime Downe' is reminiscent of 'Aerosmith' frontman 'Stephen Tyler' only more whiny, unfortunately after a while this starts to become pretty irritating.

'Don't Change that Song' opens up in solid fashion, with some strong vocal harmonies and carefree rhythm work, lyrically, as with most of their songs its pretty throw away material, but it does have a certain charm. Even better though is the tantalising romp 'Bathroom Wall', the sleazy choruses, to be fair are dreadful, but it all seems to come together for a respectable trashy rocker. The pace is dropped for the mid tempo, 'Stones' sounding 'No Room for Emotion', and could quite easily be off 'Black and Blue', regrettably 'Taime Downe's' whiney vocals do this song no favours. Vitality is aplenty on the good time rocker 'Cathouse', lyrically comical and played with real enthusiasm, definitely one of the stronger track and a fans favourite. Thing slip big style on the directionless 'Babylon', which includes something which sounds like "scratching", this would make a bad 'B' side let alone an album track. Thankfully 'Smash Alley' gets back to business with the mean grooving rhythm work which is laid down from the outset and continues throughout. Less impressive is the dull offering known as 'Shooting you Down', and the bland and repetitive 'City has no Heart'. 'Ship rolls In' supports some fine rolling rhythm and guitar work while the closer 'Bottle in Front of Me' displays some of the best axe work on the album but the final vocal work is just dire.

A real mixed bag and while I try to try to remain impartial 'Faster Pussycat' are definitely one of those groups you either love or hate. Although there are ten tracks this disc only runs for a disappointing 35 minutes which nearly makes it an E.P.
