FireHouse has done it again! They're bigger & better than ever. Great melodic rock-n-roll songs with killer riffs & amazing vocals. Wonderfully produced. If you could only add one more disc to your collection, this is the one! *****

4.0 out of 5 stars Totally Addictive, December 10, 1999

By	Beth Kershner (Virginia) - See all my reviews

Being a Firehouse fan since the beginning, I must say that I love the diversity of this album. Each Firehouse album contributes different styles and shows the maturity of the band's writing. Category 5 has some very rocking tunes that showcase the band's harmonizing abilities that so many of us love. There's also some songs that are a little more mellow that a person can just get 'lost' into. The hidden track is extremely different. I love that the band shared this song with us. Basically, I've had Category 5 for 1 1/2 years and it's still in my cd player as one of my top 5 cd's to listen to. The diversity will satisfy any hard rock style. A must buy!

2.0 out of 5 stars Another rocking hair band that doesn't rock anymore, March 11, 2004

By	thegreatjustino (Stockton, CA United States) - See all my reviews

What happend to the firehouse of the early 90s? This group went from a once hard rocking band to putting out shlock like Category 5. If you are thinking about buying this because you enjoyed their earlier albums, be prepared to be dissapointed. It's a bunch of mellow rock that I would expect to hear on a radio station in a dentist's office. A station that plays Phil Collins, Sheryl Crow, and Bryan Adams.

5.0 out of 5 stars 4 1/2 star album, July 29, 1999

By A Customer

This one is a killer! A bit more mellow than the first album, but it ties the with the first album for being the BEST! Top Hit material in Can't stop the pain; Dream; The Day, The Week, And The Weather; Bringing Me Down; and Acid Rain. If you like medolic rock and killer ballads, this is a must. On the down side, I would actually rate this album 4 and 1/2 stars. The first reason is that it is an import in the U.S and very hard to get a hold of. The second reason is because of the "hidden, unlisted tune" after Life Goes On. Wait for about 15 to 20 seconds, and a weird un-firehouse like tune starts to play. It is completely different from the normal Firehouse sound, almost like a techo-metal sound. If you are a Firehouse fan, this album is a must have!
