This sorta folky, sorta bluesy, totally rockin' San Francisco quartet lives up to it's critical acclaim and then some. Linda Perry's pyrotechnics on "Morphine and Chocolate" would give Robert Plant pause. Jeff Bateman

What's Goin' On? Now I'm Only 15 Years Behind the Times!.......2007-01-05

As you can see from some of my other reviews in here, my musical tastes are mired 30-40 years in the past. Recently I jumped ahead to only 15 years behind the times at an unlikely place--the steps of Sacre Cour on Montmartre in Paris. There on a unseasonably mild November Sunday afternoon, I listened to a Parisian troubador strum his guitar and sing Beatles songs and American folk tunes (Simon and Garfunkel). I started singing along and he invited me down to sing with him. First we did "Help!", on which we did our best to reproduce the Beatles echo singing style. After "Help!" he started a song that I didn't recognize, so I sat back down on the concrete steps. "25 years and my life is still..."--I listened and enjoyed, and sang along with the "hey, hey, hey, what's goin' on!" chorus. Later on he invited me back for "California Dreaming" (another echo song), but that's another story.

Back in the US, I was determined to find out who did "What's Goin' On", which I was sure had to be the name of the song. I Googled and searched lyrics sites--finding a lot of performers who had covered Marvin Gaye's classic tune. Finally on page 3 of one search or another, I found a reference to "4 Non Blondes" and a song called "What's Up". I read the lyrics and thought, "This might be it." I found 4 Non Blondes on You Tube and listened (and watched) Linda Perry sing the song. I knew I'd found the song. I also learned that the title of the song resulted from the ubiquitous presence of Marvin Gaye's song, and the need for 4 Non Blondes to be different. I also learned was that Linda Perry did a lot better with the song than my Parisian friend, and I understood why it was a big hit that would be remembered in Paris 15 years later.

Getting on with the story, I asked for 4 Non Blondes' CD "Bigger, Faster, Better, More" for Christmas. Of all people, my 77-year old father found it for me. Sure enough, my new favorite song was there, along with a several other songs featuring Linda Perry's unique vocal style--"Train", "Pleasantly Blue", "Morphine and Chocolate" and "Spaceman" being my favorites. I love the way she can seemingly sing in two octaves at once. "Morphine and Chocolate" has to be the theme song for a drug movie somewhere. Mostly rockers, the 4 Non Blondes also blend in some blues and folk. Linda's singing seems a little strident at time, but you can never accuse of her of holding anything back. I've read comparisons of Perry's singing style to that of Robert Plant--they seem relevant. Both have great range of styles, pitch and that relentless emotion.

poor choice for second single.......2006-11-13

A very underrated record. Following up 'What's Up?" with "Spaceman" was a bad decision. The followup singles should have been "Calling all the people" and "Drifting." If you've always liked "What's Up?" but never heard the whole album, it's worth having.

Interesting, but plenty of filler........2006-09-08

I'll give credit to Linda Perry for having a captivating voice(although she does remind me a lot of Johnette Napolitano of Concrete Blonde), and "What's Up", "Drifting", and "Spaceman" are ballads that I never get tired of. Unfortunately, the rest of the album never really grew on me, and "Dear Mr. President" is the perfect example of a good instrumental song ruined by cliched lyrics. Basically, it's the sound of a band trying to make a statement without having anything to say.

For those of you that liked their one hit, I say try to borrow this before you buy it, and if you hated their one hit, you still might try giving this one a chance because half of the songs follow the same formula as "What's Up" and the other half sound like a different band altogether.

cloying vocals......at best.......2006-03-13

She's better off writing for other people.
Just one question, where did Linda Perry find the verse section of What's Up?
"Here's a little song I wrote, you might want to sing it note for note......."
Apparently Linda did just that.

I Love It!!.......2006-03-10

I just heard the song "What's Up!!" on the radio. I had to have it therefore I went directly to Amazon and found the Album. I loved it. All the songs were great and it's a shame that they are no longer together. I listen to this album everyday at work and never get tired of it.

this a great cd it has my favorite song total esciple of the heart its great for any bonnie who likes bonnie like me or an 80s music like i do. must have cd. allie from oprt washgton ny

only slightly dated.......2005-08-25

The title track is cool, despite the fact that is is an overwrought, melodramtic epic in the Jim Steinman vein. You should get this only because it has the full length version of Total Eclipse of the Heart, one of the best pop singles ever.What remains is a bland, slightly dated but not unenjoyable mix of pop/rock drama whose one and only saving grace is the incredible voice of Bonnie Tyler.

Straight from Her Heart.......2005-05-03

Bonnie Tyler's most well-known album and not least for the song "Total Eclipse of the Heart". That song is her best one...a very beautiful ballad. This version is that longer one. However, it isn't the only good track in this album...the songs "Faster Than the Speed of Night", "Straight from the Heart", and "Have You Ever Seen the Rain" are popular tracks too. "Faster...", "It's a Jungle Out There", and "Going Through the Motion" are very catching tracks...they have the power! The ballads "Tears" and "Take Me Back" are quite simpel and they make this album less good, unfortunately".

The voice!.......2004-04-19

I am a huge BT fan, and I have had the opportunity to meet her twice, which was quite a delight! That voice!!! It is shown off very well on this great album of the 80s, and it does not sound old! As a matter of fact, TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART has been re-released as a duet in Europe, where it has cracked the European top 5, and has held strong atop the charts for 7 weeks in Blegium and 10 weeks in France!!! This has also launched a new album available on the site entitled SIMPLY BELIEVE. Now on to this album!

It is heavy, and the background vocals are simply superb. I agree with most other reviewers; GETTING SO EXCITED has always been my least favorite song on the entire album. Oddly enough, the album title brings out the bombastic Wagnerio-Steinmanesque tone superbly, but I never really LOVED the song as such. Track #1 is absolutely superb, and charged with her powerful voice. Of course, the uncontournable TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART is the must-hear in its extended version of 6:49!!! Ravishing! GETTING THROUGH THE MOTIONS is cute, and not to be taken seriously, while IT'S A JUNGLE OUT THERE is quite pop. I always like that arrangement. TEARS is a raunching duet by Bonnie and Sctosman extraordinaire Frankie Miller, with whom she collaborated on two subsequent albums. TAKE ME BACK is very powerful as well, while STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART, the Bryan Adams cover is just plain great. Again, that voice alone makes you shiver! A must-have from a great woman, even if you don't like all the songs. For everyone else who is not most familiar with her work, try NOTES FROM AMERICA, my all-time favorite Bonnie Tyler release ever!

Total Eclipse eclipses the other eight hit and miss tracks.......2003-04-27

I basically bought this album for one song, Total Eclipse of the Heart. It is one of the greatest and most memorable songs of the early 1980s, and it has that certain something about it that makes it as moving now as it was way back in 1983. The lyrics about reassessing your life as you age are now, sadly, much more meaningful to me, and only make the song even more amazing. The rest of the songs on this album are somewhat hit and miss. Bonnie Tyler's unique voice is best suited to plaintive ballads of emotional pain and heartache, and for this reason the tracks Tears and Take Me Back are really quite good. The uptempo tracks which seem to have no meaning whatsoever come off pretty badly, though, in my opinion. Let's face it; Bonnie Tyler does not have a melodious voice; she sounds like she has a perpetual frog in her throat, and this unique sound really is not suited for frivolous pop songs. Getting So Excited is anything but exciting and serves in my mind as a musical purgatory one most endure before reaching the higher plane of Total Eclipse of the Heart. Goin' Through the Motions is not only the name of a lackluster song, it is an apt description of Tyler's performance on tracks such as Faster Than the Speed of Night and It's a Jungle Out There. Her cover versions of Have You Ever Seen the Rain? And Straight From the Heart are not bad, but they don't really hold a candle to the original songs. Thus, I would name only three of these nine songs as quality tracks that really have something to give to today's listeners. For most people, I think the decision to buy will come down to a question as to how much you want to own a copy of the incredible song Total Eclipse of the Heart.

I so LOVE this band..........2007-05-23

One of the first of the 80s Non-Glam, Glam - LA scene bands. Taime Downe, Greg Steele and the guys are straight on rock... As one of my best friends says -- 'it sounds like Aerosmith and AC/DC had a baby and raised it on 50's music'... Just a grand party from beginning to end...

One of my favorites from back in the day -- and important enough to me to warrant buying yet another copy!!!

Faster Pussycat = Whole lotta fun!!.......2006-02-25

A fun type music cd that came to us in the later part of the 80's. Taime Downe's vocals were very unique at the time. This cd is just fun barroom rock. Songs of interest include, Don't Change That Song, Bathroom Wall, Babylon, Smash Alley, & Bottle In Front Of Me. Purchase it, you won't regret it!!

Faster Pussycats the best.......2006-02-05

see i listen to all 80's hair metal. and i wuz really into Guns N Roses, and L.A. Guns and stuff like that but i wanted something different. something raw and original that may not be all that popular but i wanted a band that i could in a way call it my own u kno. so i herd Don't Change That Song, and thought it wuz soooo good!!!!! then i listen to Bathroom wall, Poison Ivy, House of Pain, after these hits i knew this is what ive been lookin for. then i got this album for Christmas. i jus bout listen to it everyday. see people say o they wer the suckiest band in the 80's but they are wrong but its ok cuz i dont care cuz i knew they wer great and they always will be. jus dont understand y they wernt so popular cuz they had everything Greg Steel, and Brent Muscat were on the way to Slash's path. and the Singer so Original, Axl Rose has one of the best voices but he can sound like a chick and that screech can get a lil anoying in sum songs. but this guy has that voice that sounds more like a man tho. Faster Pussycat will remain in my book forever.

You'd better be ready for this!.......2004-10-23

A sure-fire 5-star disk! I have always said, when asked, that the best album released since I was a high school graduate in 1985, is Appetite For Destruction, by Gn'R. However, I have always said that Appetite for Destruction's huge success, kept Faster Pussycat's BRILLIANT debut from achieving it's due.

Both albums were released around the same time. At that time, FP's album was getting much more publicity. But then "Sweet Child o' Mine" took off, and the Pussycats' album got buried.

It is a SOLID 5 star album! It is L.A. sleaze-metal-rock at it's best. You have the classics, in "Don't Change That Song" and "Bathroom Wall", as well as "Cathouse". But the whole Stones-meets-metal sound continues on solid tunes like "No Room For Emotion" and "City Has No Heart".

Frankly there is NO bad song on this whole disk! "Babylon", Shooting You Down" and "Bottle In Front Of Me" are good.

"City has No Heart " and "Ship Rolls In" are strong rockers that make this album much more than a "trash metal" album. It is a classic metal album!

Not A Bad Effort.......2004-07-14

Even tho' their sophomore CD, 'Wake Me When It's Over', is better, this is a pretty good first effort. It sounds a little defferent than most of their hair band contemporaries, which can be good, cause sounding too much a like another band is just not too good. The songs are fun, catchy 80's style hard rockers, and they are better than some of the other lesser-known hair bands from the late 80's like Danger Danger or Shark Island.

Rockin 70's unknowns.......2007-06-02

This is a fairly unknown 70's hard rock band. Their biggest ablum was nature of the beast, but in my opinion this is a better album. It is faster and more upbeat where NOTB was heavier and darker.

Their best work was "Live at the El Macombo" where they opened up for the stones, sadly that album seems to be unavailable.

If you like this genre and are looking for more off the wall bands in the same vein try Fastway as well.

April Wine's best.......2007-04-28

If you are a fan of rock, Canadian rock or April Wine, Harder Faster is their best work. It was their first album with the three guitar attack and their first album that received decent airplay in the States. Nature of the Beast, AW's next album was commercially more successful, but it was musically not as good. AW was on top of their game with this album. Their sound was raw, not polished like their next records and it was great rock & roll. The three guitars gave them their own unique sound and allowed interplay between them that was unlike anybody else. Everyone should have a little AW in their collection and this is the album to have. AW was not as good before or after Harder Faster. Enjoy!

!980 release still shines. This thing ROCK'S!.......2007-04-01

Another CD that just kicks it!!! in a good car system. April Wine was a staple with girls back in the day; I promise every old-schooler that listened to them will attest to that fact. Amazon is giving this away,so buy it. Guitar drivin' rock from Canada---get some!

Harder...Faster; what I want to say would only get censored so lets just say that I knew a most beautiful blonde in highschool that loved April Wine (oh, the memories)...use your imagination but get this CD!

Two Words!!.......2006-08-10

Their best!!

That's the only way to describe it. It was just one record before the Nature Of The Beast release that brought them world wide recognition, however Harder Faster was the one that really got the ball rolling as it is indeed a very good release from a very good band.

The One That Has You're So Vain.......2007-07-16

I agree with those that have said the only reason for a FP fan to really want this is for the song "You're So Vain", I'm really surprised it's so low in price, I am tempted to pay the 7 bucks for one song, but I have all 3 of thier studio Cd's, and for that one song seems strange.

Perhaps in the future a better collection of songs also, why "Bottle In Front Of Me" is on here I don't know, and only 10 songs it's a poor representation of the band. They might as well put out an essential 2 CD set and put "You're so Vain" at the end. Leave off 3 or 4 songs from "Whipped", and leave off maybe 1 or 2 from each of the first 2 CD's and there you have it.

This one is lacking, even for a band that only put out 3 CD's of studio material.

i dont own this but.............2006-07-05

first of all i love the 80s the soft rock the heavy metal even some pop songs.and since being an 80s freak i totalyy love all the types of ballads put out at the time, and thats where FP comes in "I think and im pretty sure that the best ballad and song of all times is in fact without a doubt the amazing teary eyed ballad """""HOUSE OF PAIN"""""" and for the rest of the songs i have yet to find out.But this is a perfect ex. of a cd anyone should buy just for that perfect song.So please buy it at least just to hear a wonderful moment in the history of MUSIC.

An excellent finisher to your Faster Pussycat catalog.......2006-03-11

It was with much surprise that I came across a "Greatest Hits" cd for Faster Pussycat, at random, in a department store a few years ago. Given their short recording career, they weren't one of the likely bands to get such a treatment. I was even more amazed to notice the hard-to-find Carly Simon cover 'You're So Vain'. I immediately bought it and haven't regretted it one bit.

The track listing on "Greatest Hits" includes a mix of songs (hits and non-singles) from the three studio albums released by Faster Pussycat between 1987-1992. The versions here are the original studio cuts, not cheap rerecorded versions or live cuts. Four of the tracks can be found on the 1987 self-titled debut, which include 'Cathouse', 'Don't change that song', 'Bathroom Wall' and 'Bottle in front of me.' While some may lament that tunes such as 'Shooting you down' and 'Babylon' were left off, keep in mind that only ten cuts are featured altogether. It is also worth noting that the self-titled Faster Pussycat effort is an album that contained no real filler, so pretty much anything would have fit on here.

The best-selling Faster Pussycat album, "Wake Me When It's Over" is also represented by four cuts. These are 'Poison Ivy', 'Slip of the tongue', 'Where there's a whip, there's a way' and 'House of Pain.' Again, there is little to be upset about regarding the track selection on this album. One more cut, 'Nonstop to nowhere', was the single from the 1992 release, "Whipped." "Whipped" was the final release by Faster Pussycat and the band went their separate ways after the commercial failure of this third studio album from the group. They did eventually reunite, which may have something to do with this album existing in the first place.

'You're So Vain' was a cover song performed by Faster Pussycat during the early 1990's. Until now, it was only able to be located on a various artists compilation album and also a limited edition ep from the band. The cover is very well done and worth the price of purchase alone, considering the low price of this greatest hits collection. A lot of fans have long demanded this song, making it a Faster Pussycat cult classic.

The negatives are that there are only ten song selections here and plenty of cuts could have easily made it onto this album. For some reason, the profanity in 'Slip of the tongue' is slickly edited out. This is the type of thing you'd see on a clean edit of a popular album. Really, it poses no problem for most people. If it matters all that much, it is easy enough to find the source album ("Wake Me When It's Over") that the tune comes from. There are no other songs edited in this fashion, so this is the only cut that doesn't appear in its original form. All ten of the tracks here do appear in full-length form, meaning they are not edited for running time. That is identical to the original albums, including 'Nonstop to nowhere' which runs close to seven minutes (a shorter radio single version of 'Nonstop' exists but thankfully that one was not used here).

Given the cost, there is no reason for a fan of Faster Pussycat to not pick this one up. This is the easiest way to locate 'You're So Vain' and it sure beats paying a hefty price for the 1992 ep it can be found on. The funny thing is that the 1987 debut, as a whole, is actually a little bit superior to this compilation. For that reason, this is one of those albums that should be purchased to finish the Faster Pussycat catalog, not start it. Most new fans looking into the band will want to start with the self-titled release, which introduced this underrated and underappreciated band to the world. That is just my opinion.

This "Greatest Hits" collection is not band approved, not that most of them are, but the liner notes and presentation on this one are both very respectable. The label that issued this collection has done similar compilations, of varying quality, for artists such as Foreigner, Twisted Sister, White Lion and Winger. Like this one, those come at the same low price and provide a good sampling of the catalog for each artist. You can't really go wrong here, not at all. Faster Pussycat "Greatest Hits" comes highly recommended. Perfect for the diehard, it is also the easiest way for the casual fan to obtain the one song that matters to most people, 'House of Pain.'

Good Overview for Casual Fan.......2005-06-22

Yes, the song "Slip of the Tongue" has a slight edit (probably the radio version) but otherwise the songs seem untouched. While there are a few great tunes missing from their albums - most notably Babylon, Pulling Weeds, and No Room for Emotion - this is a fairly complete collection.

Where it is really a valuable collection is for the song "You're So Vain", as this is the only place I've been able to find this song. It was originally done for some kind of 25th anniversary CD in 1990 for their label, and I've been unable to locate that song or that CD anywhere for years. For that reason alone it's valuable for the Faster Pussycat fan, or anyone who enjoyed this genre.

Save your money.......2003-12-17

I have been purchasing albums that I had during my college days on cassette tape and replacing them with CD's. When I saw the Faster Pussycat Greatest Hits I couldn't wait to buy it. It claims to the "The Original Songs you remember by the Original Artists you love". Flashback Records is a division of Rhino and for some reason they released "CENSORED" songs on this cd. That is not the ORIGINALS as promised. There was no warning what so ever on the cd to claim it is CENSORED music. Do not buy this piece of crap!

not that good.......2007-07-17

geri has a nasally voice, and i guess you have to like her to accept it. this is not atrocious or repulsive, but it's not really good either. 1 or 2 songs i like (i was made that way). but the most i like is Don't call me baby. but i swear that she sampled that from Vanessa Paradis' "be my baby". it sounds very much like it! yet i think i like geri's version better, even though i like Vanessa's.

Excellent second album from Geri!.......2006-05-12

Geri Halliwell's "Scream If You Want to Go Faster" is a collection of catchy, enjoyable pop tunes. It is a great listen from start to finish and is highly recommended. The title track has a real rock feel. Personal favorites include "Circles Round the Moon," "Strength of a Woman," and "Don't Call Me Baby." The album gets four stars only because her follow-up CD, "Passion" is her best work to date. She keeps getting better and better.

this is a very groovy album it's like geri's music i love
the way she has so mutch rythm when she sings.She is just so
pretty and indapendent.Geri has really done a great job in this
album.

Geri Ger Geri!!!! Her BEST Yet!!!!.......2005-10-24

Geri's second solo CD was highly anticipated and she sure as hell delivers with this one!

This would have been to one of the best CD's that any of the Spice Girls released as a group or as a solo artist (only second to perhaps Melanie C's Northern Star) and is full of catchy pop songs that really do want to make you listen to them over and over again.

Ok so I hear you saying but geri doesn't have the BEST voice on the planet....well so what?? We can't all sing the same - that would be quite boring...that is why there are so many different genres of music these days. Geri just seems to have the formual right for this cd where the songs really suit her voice and that is what makes a successful artist.

I have to admit that I am not a huge fan of the cover of "It's Raining Men" but she does do it justice.
The other outstanding tracks on this album are "Shake Your Bootie Cutie", "Strength Of A Woman", "Circles Around The Moon" & the title track "Scream If You Wanna Go Faster"

Geri new world of music!!!!!!.......2005-07-24

This album is the best.If you have it,you won't regret.All songs are good.And I really love to "Calling".It's vey make my heart so fly away and it's about my story of life too. You must buy it!Anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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.

Great song.......2006-08-06

Just wanted to say that although i am not a huge fan of Paul Oakenfold, he has me hooked on this song. And Brittany Murphy--who knew the damn girl could sing! She has a great voice, and, come to think of it, she kind of sounds like Esthero. Well, pick up the single only, the cd sucked, this is the only good song from it. Great sound, a lot of fun.

Brittany Murphy...........2006-08-03

I am so amazed of the powerful voice that comes out of such a little person, her and Paul Oakenfold have done an amazing job. This single makes you want to dance and sing non stop!!!!!!
