The initial set of songs submitted to the label for the next album were all rejected, and the band had to start again from scratch. They relocated to New York City, again living together as they had done in their formative years. At this point they began to have creative differences with the label. The band was trying to move toward a 'crossover' sound with more radio appeal, but the label thought they were losing their edge. (The band later acknowledged they were correct). The band wanted to release "Miss America" as a single, but the label vetoed this and instead decided to put out "Happy Hour".
However, six months before the album was released, Love/Hate secured a support slot for Skid Row's 'No Fucking Frills' European Tour. The label wanted to release an EP in support of the tour and in direct opposition to the band's wishes chose "Evil Twin", a song the band had rejected for the second album. While touring, Skid made numerous attacks on the label in interviews, with the band attempting to divert attention or prevent the comments being published. After playing at the London Arena, Jizzy got into a drunken fight with Skid Row singer, Sebastian Bach, which briefly led to the band being ejected from the tour. But they made up their differences before the next show.
The second album Wasted in America was released later in 1992, and the band embarked on another European tour, this time in support of Ozzy Osbourne. On returning to America, they were told that Columbia intended to drop the band, as the single for "Happy Hour" had not sold well, and the follow-up single "Wasted in America" was not getting much airplay on the radio.
