The second release from 'Faster Pussycat' and a more mature stance is offered that still manages to include some of carefree sleaze exhibited in the self titled debut. We are also gifted a full sixty minutes worth of material, which is nearly double the length of the debut, regrettable there's a lot of mediocre cuts present and as the title suggests this album can be a used to cure insomnia. 'Faster Pussycat' have a particular style and while I don't believe their a bad group, the music seems all too similar, which isn't aided by vocalist 'Taime Downe' who whines his way through track after track.
First off is 'Where there's a Whip there's' a Way' a decent if unremarkable opener, that features a pretty good hard rocking rhythm, but for me is spoilt by the whining vocals. Less inspiring is the pretty dire 'Little Dove' the lyrics are bad to say the least and the vocal harmonies for the chorus are shocking. Slight improvements are made with the carefree rocker 'Poison Ivy', which feature a decent chorus, but again it's hardly a classic. Next up is the smash hit ballad 'House of Pain', a more mature effort for 'Faster Pussycat' and for me sounds like a cross between the 'Stones' and 'Aerosmith', there's better ballads about, but this a decent, respectable effort. The pace is picked up for 'Gonna Walk' and this track supports a quality grooving rhythm which is maintained throughout, 'Taime Downe' sounds better here and overall makes for a decent track. The fine run continues with 'Pulling Weeds', again the rhythm work is strong and is braced by some nice guitaring which goes along way in making this a fair romp. 'slip of the Tongue' promises with it's quality melody and choice guitar solo, but ultimately fails with light-weight lyrics and more 'gang' vocal harmonies. 'Cryin' Shame' is a mid tempo affair which ends up dull and repetitive while 'Tattoo' is a blatant 'Rolling Stones' rip-off complete with saxophone work. Much better is the tough rocking 'Ain't no Way Around It' which has flashes of 'Mötley Crüe', the instrumentation is very good and along with the chorus is possibly the best track present. 'Arizona Indian Doll' is a bit of a departure for 'Faster Pussycat' with it's theatrical approach, while it's hardly a brilliant track it does show they weren't one trick ponies. The album closes with the bonus track 'Please Dear', a lifeless ballad that doesn't lend itself to 'Taime Downe's' vocals.
All said probably an improvement over their debut but thirteen track at sixty minutes does show off some blatant flaws.
