Firehouse's self-titled debut was a slick, polished collection of pop-metal. While louder numbers like &Don't Treat Me Bad& sounded good on the radio, the true strength of the record was the group's knack for power ballads like the Top 10 hit &Love of a Lifetime.& Firehouse had trouble coming up with a consistent set of high-quality material throughout their debut, but when they landed on a power ballad, they never sounded less than fine.
