Oct 11, 2012I'm only reviewing this because I accidentally find myself listening to it again some 9 years after release.
WHAT an album. There's nothing not to love - it's funny, well-crafted with no duff songs. So much fun. -

EvilevilJul 17, 2003A RIOT!!!! This album hits like the Bollock Brothers - Harley David. Fun, Loud, and Meaningless - this album will keep your system booming while you try to explain to your friends that your love for the single "Gay Bar" does not mean that you are in the closet.

BenKFeb 17, 2006This is as well crafted a debut as Television's Marquee Moon or Talking Head's '77.

If you're bored of 'Danger! High Voltage' like us, there's plenty to plunder, though ultimately you'll be filing this album away in your "don't play anymore" library after Echobelly and before Electric Soft Parade.

This is the funniest hard-rock album I've ever heard; also, the hardest-rocking funny album I've ever heard, since if you take away the jokes you've still got the power of the music.

To a certain extent, Fire sounds like a joke, but a pointed one that approaches rock less as a conceit than as a directive, something to drag into its cultural surroundings rather than a trope to fall back on.
