Room on Fire

From Free net encyclopedia

Template:Album infobox

Room on Fire is the second album by the band The Strokes. Released in October 2003, this sophomore album follows up 2001's Is This It and birthed three successful singles in "12:51", "Reptilia" and "The End Has No End".

Grammy-winning producer Nigel Godrich (Radiohead, Travis, Beck) was initially tapped to produce Room On Fire, but the Strokes felt that he made the songs seem "soulless", and so they went back to " Is This It " producer Gordon Raphael again.

Although Room On Fire received warm reviews upon release and reached #2 in the UK and debuted at #4 on the Billboard 200, going gold, the album's eventual US sales were significantly less than Is This It's one million units, with 575,000 sales in the US as of January 2006.
