Category 5 (album)

Category 5 is the fifth album of the rock band FireHouse. It was originally released in 1998 in Japan and in 1999 in the United States by Lightyear Records.

The album featured a more direct contribution from bassist Perry Richardson and ironically, it was his last studio album with the band. It features a different, more experimental sound when compared to the band's previous hard rock albums, while still featuring some signature ballads.
